Slyvia Zet "hopeful"







Good evening! I've had a busy day today- up early to the doctors and then a visit from a girl friend. She had a new baby boy 2 months ago, and this was the first day I got to have a nurse :0) Each time we made arrangements to meet up, he (James) had a bad night's sleep or suffering with reflux...... oh it's so hard to remember back when my kids were that little XO He is such a little cutie!

Anyway, onto my card.  I am so hooked on digital images at the moment, there are some gorgeous ones out there...this is a Sylvia Zet Wee stamp called "hopeful" you can get her stamps here. I have colored her with copics and am slowly building up my collection!  I have popped her up with foam to get her over the lacey paper underneath.  The embossed card underneath is from a pack of embossed DCWV box of cards (I cut them up as I prefer my cards quiet sturdy and found these very thin) I have run some purple Versa magic over the raised embossed writing....I'm not sure of the brand of flower paper here, but it is divine! I edged it with a martha stewart lacey border punch.  I snipped in at each scallop and then half way between the scallops, then I twisted the lacey part with my alligator (????) tweezers to make the frill effect.  I used the same technique for the large flower..... the flower is a flower punch and stamp set from Stampin Up! I use Versa magic chalk ink to ink up the stamp, then, once stamped, I sprinkle it with a mixture of clear embossing powder and glamour Dust and heat emboss the flower.  If you ink the edges darker, you get a really cute result! The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Kaiser Craft. Ribbon from stash. The swirls I have cut using my cricut and the accent essentials cartridge

Sylvia Zet Whimsy Wee Florist


Good morning! Thanks for popping by. Well I had a late nighter last night- I had all intentions of just colouring up this cutie but couldn't stop there- I had to finish it to a card! Another one of Slyvia Zet's digi's called Wee Florist. You can get her here from Whimsy Stamps. WOW was her hair a challenge!!! I am not the best colouring artist to start with, but add layers of hair and I spent ages just on her hair (haha sounds familiar in real life- spending ages on hair!!) but I got there in the end.... phew!!!
So onto the card ...... The DP is another Authentique paper called "Stroll". The buckles are cut using Tim Holtz die called "Hardware Findings". The lovely flowers and moonstone brads are from WOC and the ribbon is from my stash.
I have added drops of dimension magic to the roses, spots of liquid pearl to the corners, and brushed her at with my spica glitter pen.
Thanks for stopping by, Take care and stay safe XOX Tania

Good evening, tonight I have a card with a beautiful digi stamp by Sylvia Zet from wee stamps called Silver Fairy. You can get the image here ...you will be seeing more of her images as I couldn't resist or stop at one!!! I coloured her up with prismas (of course) and plenty of stickles. The card is cut using my grand spellbinders scallop circle and the nesting circles, I have hand cut using an assortment of cups and plates. The doily is cut from a Cheery Lynn die called "english tea party". the flowers are wild orchid crafts the sentiment stamp is from a clear Kaisercraft set called "friendship sentiments". thanks for stopping by....... XOX Tania

PS DONT FORGET TO LEAVE A COMMENT FOR MY BLOG CANDY YOU DONT NEED TO BE A FOLLOWER

TOP TIP....I STRUGGLED TO GET THE INTRICATE DETAIL CUT OUT FROM THE CHEERY LYNN AND MARIANNE DIES.....I TRIED WAX PAPER, AND AN ASSORTMENT OF OTHER THINGS...THE BEST WAY GET THE CUT OUT OFF THE DIE IN ONE PIECE IS TO USE BLUE TACK...I ROLL THE BLUE TACK IN MY HANDS TO REDUCE SOME OF THE TACKINESS STARTING FROM THE EDGE- JUST PRESS ONTO THE PAPER AND CAREFULLY PULL AWAY.
