New Release Day....for Slinky Tart, so exciting...

Hello again,

Exciting news!

Today I am here (and the rest of the DT too on their blogs) are celebrating the new release digi stamp by Slinky Tart and if that name is unfamiliar to you then let me tell you this is the new name for The Stamping Chef and we're super excited to show you some new designs...

So here goes with the New Release - Valentina from the Slinky Tart Store

Oh boy did I have fun with this Valentine's make :D  As I don't really do Valentine's Day as such I went for a 'Love' card instead :D

Here's how and what:
Image: Valentina - New release from Slinky Tart
I have coloured her with Copic's that I got for Christmas!  Santa obviously had his eyes shut when he checked the 'who's been good' list but I'm not complaining lol.  No colours for you as I forgot in my excitement finding new colour combo's!
The backing paper is from American Crafts and the embellies can be purchased in That Craft Place

The layering of this one is simple so no great 'how to' but I did use my new Spellbinders pierced ovals die for the image and added Stampendous Frantage in Shabby Green to the image and the butterfly.

Here's the close ups:

Isn't she just lush!

I love New Releases!

Thank you so much for stopping by and please make sure you hop on over to the Slinky Tart Blog to see the rest of the DT's take on Valentina

Happy crafting :D

It's a New Year and a 'New' Challenge!

Hello Again,

We're all still recovering from the Festivities in our house and I have my crafty space back up and running so I'm here to show you my mid-challenge inspiration for the current challenge over at the Aud Sentiments Challenge Blog where the theme is a sentiment including the word 'New'!

The sponsor this time is Imagine That and they kindly supplied the team with images and I chose to use the Eskimo Friends digi set.  The sets come with lots of images and both pre-coloured and line art so lots of combinations to do and lots of ways to do it :D

Here's what I came up with....

How cute are they!  eeek!

Here's what I used to make it:
Images: Eskimo Kisses set from Imagine That Digital Stamps.  The two cute Eskimo's are line art that I coloured with my Graph'it Marker pens (pre-coloured ones are in the set) and I chose to use the pre-coloured igloo, but I then added deeper shading with my Graph'it Markers.
The images where then raised using Pinflare glue gel to add depth.
Insert: paper from my stash
Background: The sky is inked using Broken China and Milled Lavender distress inks and the fore-ground is torn white paper snow banks with white flocking added to the edges.
Tag: again, Broken China distress ink sky and torn white paper make the scene and the sentiment is stamped using a verse stamp from Inkylicious

Here's the close ups:

See...I can do minimal lol.

Thank you so much for visiting and please leave a comment before you go as they are really appriciated and I would love it if you would also follow me and the links are top right xx

Come and join us for this times 'New' challenge and hope over to enter HERE

Happy Crafting :D
