Card Parrot Tulip

Hey all! Happy Friday!  I thought I would post a card today.

I used Parrot Tulip Digi  coloured with pencils/OMS and the Ornate Pearl Frame cutting file set embellished with a Viva pearl pen.  As usual, all my card elements started with white card stock base.  The frame pieces were sponged with Spun Sugar and Age Mahogany distress inks. I don't know how I would survive without those distress inks - Did you see the new summer colours?  Oh my .. had to get them!  waiting for pre-orders to ship sigh!

Have a great weekend!

:)* Fred

Sponsoring: Bearly Mine Challenges and a Freebie!

Hi All!

Today Fred She Said is sponsoring the Bearly Mine Challenge Blog, featuring Donna's wonderful digital papers.

Some of the Fred She Said DT are playing along.  The THEME is FLOWERS :)  I thought I would take  a crack at it:

.

I used Donna's FSS/BMD Summer's Roses Paper Set  which can also be found at Donna's store.  The flower and leaves are made from the Build a Floral Spray Digital Cutting File Set.

The Digital Freebie I have today is a TEMPLATE for the rectangular punched frame I used on the card above.  What this is, is a rectangular template ( also cutting files ) with a matted opening in the center.  It is sized perfectly for use with the Martha Stewart's Punch Around The Page punches.  I have included a printable PDF and cutting files in  SVG/GSD/DXF/Silhouette/Vector PDF.  You need the punches though to use with the template!  You can find the FREEBIE HERE (updated JUN/2017 link now works).


REMINDER:  Fred She Said DT Showcase CONTEST is still on ;)  with a $25 GC prize to a lucky commenter!

Have a great day!

CARD - pink floral & Ornate Oval Frame

Hey all!  Here is a birthday card I made for my mother.  The floral was made with the Build a Floral Spray cutting file set and the Ornate Oval Frame cutting file.  Rose was made with various distress inked  layers of  paper petals  all closed together with a small brad.  Then I  spritzed with homemade glimmer sprays to moisten and then scrunched and  gently unscrunched all the petals.  The leaves were painted and spritzed with distress inks and homemade spray as well.  The frame was cut from cereal box and painted with a vintage white acrylic paint and then a layer of Ranger Distress Crackle paint.... then sponged with distress ink so it stuck in the cracks.  The background was made with alcohol inks.

DT CALL still open until JUNE 4th.  :)

Happy Wednesday!

CARD - Come and Get It Challenge

Hey all!

I am sponsoring the Come and Get It Challenge Blog today.

 The FSS DT and I were invited to play along.  The theme is a sketch.  Here is my crack at it ;)

The image is from my new Dragonfly Flower Doodledallion Digi Set. I used watercolour pencils and a dove blender pen to color.  The embossed panels behind the image were fun to make.  I scribbled various rainbow colours of artist chalk pastels onto the raised design then brushed slightly watered down acrylic white craft paint until the colours started blending together.  The bottom panel is white cardstock with a aqua coloured acrylic paint smeared on using a cosmetic sponge.  I added stickles and pearl eyeballs to the dragonfly.


REMINDER:  Fred She Said DT CALL is open :)

new in the STORE

Hey all!

**Reminder... we are currently accepting DT applications :) Click HERE for deets!

Some new things in the store :)...

Donna made another wonderful Paper Set ... Yummy Delights!

I made a Dragonfly Flower Doodledallion Set.  It originated from a dragonfly I had in rubber form from my first foray into rubber stamps.  Here is a card I used the dragonfly on , along with rose and frame from the Ornate Pearl Frame and the Build a Floral Spray cutting sets:

See this frame? I should have a hand cuttable coloured frame set next week :)

 I converted the dragonfly to digital and thought that he needed something to land on :)  ... hence a new doodledallion!  This set comes with sentiments, several borders.. and whole bunch of elements.  This set is uncoloured.  Pre-coloured version/s should be available soon ( next week ).

Dragonfly Flower Doodledallion DIGI SET

Have a great weekend!

The above frame I plan to offer pre-coloured printable frames for those who don't have electronic cutters.  I am aiming for next week. This one is my favourite cuz you can add pearls or bling to the little circular parts :)

I have a few sample cards and some in the works to show soon.  I also have some cutting file freebies around the corner too - probably tomorrow or Friday.

Have a great day!
