dude, where’s my van? – First Posted: Monday, May 10, 2010

I am taking us into the summer with todays card even if the weather wont. Todays digi is a VW Van complete with the obligatory surf board on top. Although transport is normally thought of as more of a male subject I wanted to style my card in a more femanine way with the colouring and addition of a flower and think that it could work for a teenage girl equally as well.

I roughly drew some pencil lines where I imagined a road and the beach to be behind my image and coloured with prismas then cut out with oval dies, I changed the colour of my sentiment circle using this method and sized it to 2 inches in Word then cut it out using circle dies and a popped a prima flower in the middle and layered both onto aqua card stock and used the aqua sheet from Birds Circles. I added some white twill held in place with 2 square snaps and a circle snap formed the middle of my flower.

Free Digital Paper Pack

A new paper pack – First Posted: Thursday, May 06, 2010

I have a new paper pack for you today, in fact it was the backing paper used in yesterdays card. I wanted some paper that had some detail but not so much that would distract from the focal images in my cards and would go with anything else. This is what I came up with, it has an interlocking circle pattern and comes in 10 colours.

2 digis + card – First Posted: Wednesday, May 05, 2010

I have a couple more furniture digis for you today, I’m hoping to make them all in a similar style so the bathroom digis have started a kind of theme that the rest will take in the hope that you can mix and match which ever you wish to use to make little scenes, for example, I used the mirror digi from the bathroom card for my sentiment and changed it to black to match this cards colour scheme. So, I hope that you like them and I will no doubt be adding a few more pieces in time.

I coloured my chair with a dusky pink marker then went over it adding shadow with 2 different shades of pink prisma pencils to add some dimension and texture to the chair, I wanted to make it seem that the chair was plump and that the buttons were very recessed, by the time I finished I wished I had a chair just like it, lol. I paper pieced my lamp shade with some paper that had a small floral pattern to make it look like fabric also I cut a spellbinders border in half lengthways and added it to the top and bottom of my layer mat to add some extra flourish.
