Creata creations

Stamp Crazy ...

Good morning everyone . Today im sharing with you my latest Creata Dt makes .

 
First sample i have used the stunning horse stamp and coloured with water colours . I mounted the image onto bronze silk card  and black Mirror board . The circle frame is cut from more silk card using a joys round cutting and embossing die . The flowers and flourishes are also created using the silk and mirror card and dies are all by Joy .

Here i have stamped  the beautiful owl coloured also with water colours and glazed .Framed with Creata Kraft card (which is a must have ) and layered onto silk card . I created the flower bouquet by stamping them out several times and decoupaging them for a beautiful 3d effect .

This is a fun card the wording is a stamp from visible Image .The llittle cake and tea pot stamps are a sweet set from Creata . I have used the round joys die again to creat a little wafer in the corner . The papers i used reminded me of a table cloth .

Here i have used the silk card and embossed it with the Creata "Tweets" design to make the back ground . The main "o'la la " image is from Glamoureyes , isnt she gorgeous ?.. I have coloured the tower and the wine glasses again with water colours and used glaze to make the glass shine .

Another fun card for all those cake lovers out there as i know i am . For this card i have used Creata paper pads , Kraft card , Round die and the yummy cake stamps . I could just eat some cake right now !!

 This is a quick and easy easle card , using the round die as backing which has been cut from  Mitalic , The bow is a stamp from creata and is coloured with pro markers . Just adds that finishing touch ..

And finally a butterfly creation i have created the papers by stamping onto some art deco papers using one of the small butterfly stamps . The butterfly wording i used to create a boarder to frame the main large butterfly which i have glazed so it stand out from the card .The bow in the right hand corner is from the bow collection .

Thank you all for stopping by . Hope you all have a wounderful weekend .

All about the shoe's and DT call

Good morning my lovelies on this beautiful sunny day . I hope that you all are well and crafting away .
Today i have a couple of exciting things to share with you .


The first is a DT call for GLAMOUREYES .They are looking for one more person to join their Design Team . There is a competition running and a winner will be chosen entry ends 7/8/13  Just follow this link for more details DT CALL .

My second is some DT makes i have been making from the new range of shoe Digi stamps by Glamoureyes . Here are just 3 of the new shoe Digi stamps that are ready to be purchased in the Glamoureyes SHOP.

My first card is using the "Flower shoe" . Its such a decorative shoe and i totally love it as i do shoe's in general . Well what lady doesn't !!!

My second card is the fab and funky "Teen shoe" which if i could find a pair in these colours i would  wear myself .

My third card has been created using the "Fancy Shoe " ... I just love the animal print look about this and went for a stylish colour combo keeping away from the normal black and brown .

And finally last but not least a mixture of the three shoes .As you can tell i just adore shoes in Digi form or on my feet .

Backing papers mirror card and dies used in these creations are by Creata and can be found on The C&C website or at Creata on line.

You will find many more Digi stamps over at the Glamoureyes shop along with rubber stamps to and dont forget to enter the fab competition for your chance to be one of Glamoureyes DT .
