Hi everyone, I have been playing with some goodies that I got from Santa and would like to share with you the card that I made.


On my card I have used Stitched Rounded Rectangles from MFT and the Lawn Fawn stamp set 'Blissful Botanicals" with the coordinating dies.  These are available from Bizzy Becs online store here.   I coloured the images with Copic Markers and added a little butterfly from a pack of Petaloo mini butterflies.  I have not done a lot of colouring lately with my Copic Markers, so it was good to get back into a project that was quite simple to colour and I love the finished effect.

Thank you for visiting.

a vintage christmas card

Hi Everyone!

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with loved ones. Today I would like to share with you a card I made for a friend of mine. I decided to go with a neutral pallete and a vintage theme.

I have embossed the background and mounted this on a contrasting layer. 

The candle die had three candles together but this was too large so I have just cut off the extra two giving me a nice simple look. 

I have mounted the holly die cut on foam tape and finished off with some stickles around the top of the candle, a few pearls stuck down on the ends of the vines help to add a nice soft contrast.

Memory box dies used: 

holly bouquet, pillar candle trio and victorian frame.

Don't forget to have a look at Bizzy Becs online store to pre-order these products and so much more.

Hi there... 

I would like to share with you a card I have made with water colouring.

I just love the effect and that each time you play you get such a different look depending on how much colour you put down and water you apply.

I used  Lawn Fawns "QUINNS ABC- Stamps and matching Dies and Stitched Journalling  along with Memory Box Precious Stars Die.

Lawn Fawn and Memory Box Dies are all available at Bizzy Bec's Online Store.

Bye for now,

a simple card

Hi everyone, is it just me.... or is it just a little crazy at the moment? There just doesn't seem to be any time. Today I would like to share with you a card I have made and I am really pleased with how simple it is yet so effective.

I have created the background by sponging distress inks onto glossy card and carefully blending three colours together. A few die cuts later and a little ribbon and it's done.

Drop into Bizzy Becs and have a look at all the great new dies including MFT( My favourite things).

Supplies used:

Distress ink pads: shaded lilac, ripe persimmon, seedless preserves

Impression obsession dies: greeting set, tree frame

MFT die: File tab

memory box die: alphabet soup

Thanks for stopping by and having a look

see you soon,

Mandy

Hi everyone,

The colours used were, Bubblegum Pink, Lemon Zest, Fresh Lime, Squeezed Orange, Vibrant Turquoise,  London Blue and White Linen, these were sprayed onto a napkin background and spritzed with lots of water.

The focal image is a stamp to which I have hand drawn shoulders and is from Darkroom Door.  It is a Line Art Stamp and whilst it  is not currently available in the store, if you email Bec she will let you know if it can be ordered in.

Don't forget the coupon sale has been extended to the 31st October 2014 and your codes can be used three times, whoo hoo!   There are also some new dies been added to the store so pop over and have a look.
