Spectrum Noir Colour Blend Pencils - 12 sets

Hi everyone,

Today i'm sharing some fab news .... Crafter's Companion are launching some amazing new 12 sets of colour blend and aqua blend pencils!  They will have a one day special on Hochana on 16th July and I have been lucky enough to work with them!

They have also been launched on HSN and today I am sharing a few of the samples I made for those shows and I will be back  with more including the Samples I have made for Hochanda too!

I used the Colour blend pencils and there are two selections to chose from, Bold Brights and Soft Tints

You can find the pencils on the Crafters companion website here

So here are my samples:

This is a little Wedding Hanger I made using an image by "A Day for Daisies" I stamped and coloured onto Kraft card and added a painted MDF frame.

Here I used a Whimsy image which I printed onto the new Spectrum Noir Pencil Paper from the brand new pads that have been launched to, if you would like to look at these you can find them here

I used the image to create a sweet gift bag, adding designer papers and paper flowers.

This is a little gift box I made using the Ultimate Pro, I cut the card to size, embossed it and then coloured with the pencils on the de-bossed side, I added paper flowers and ribbon to finish.

I hope you like my samples, I will be back tomorrow to share some more.

Hugs xx Cara xx

Pink Gem - Lavender & Lace

Afternoon sweeties,

Sorry for not being around much lately, things are getting really hectic around here in a christmassy kinda way!

I'm only just finding time to get my DT cards done and my craft room is feeling a little neglected ... still it'll all be over in a few little weeks!

Any hooooo onto todays card and this is my DT creation for our new challenge over at "A Gem of a Challenge".

This challenge is our last this year and will run until the next challenge on 5th January.

This time we would like to see "Lavender and Lace" on your creations so perfect for all of those birthday and mothers day card you might want to get started on.

Heres what I did:

This is the lovely Faye with Flowers and I have coloured her with my promarkers.

I've used my new spellbinders oval die to frame her and some gorgeous papers from Nit Wits through LOTV.

Everything has been given the distress ink treatment and the sentiment and corner dies are from Whimsy.

The lace and blooms are from WOC and the inside has also been decorated.

So there you have it, I really enjoyed making this as I was desperate for a break from crimbo cards!

Hope you like my card and I would love it if you could join me and the other Pink Gem girls in the last challenge of 2012.

Love and hugs

xx Cara xx

TTCRD - GDT card

Evening all,

Just a quick post tonight to share my guest DT post for Through The Craft Room Door.

This week their challenge is Anything Goes, nice and easy peasy and since there are so many "Thanksgiving" challenges going on I thought i would join in the fun.

Here's what I made:

This gorgeous little lady is another image from the Fabulous Tiddy Inks and she is called "Heartfelt Wishes"

I've coloured her with my promarkers as always.

I've used more of my older papers for this card (sorry not sure who by) and i made the flower with some paper blooms, die cuts and a brad.

The sentiment with matching die is from Whimsy and i've decorated the inside quite simply as always.

And there you have it, i'm off to watch Masterchef!

Love and hugs xx Cara xx

Today see's a new challenge over at Challenges 4 Everbody and  time we have our very first sponsor - Digi Darla Designs.

So me and the rest of our fab design team got to play with one of the fantastic images available in the store - and here is what I cam up with:

This is Digidarla's Butterfly Wonder and she has been coloured with my promarkers with liquid pearls dotted arround her.

The gorgeous papers I used are from a pad called "A walk in the Garden" and I love them, I really wish I'd picked up a couple of pads cos I love love love them and I've not seen them anywhere since
:-(

I used my new Whimsy Double scallop die and the butterflies are from Cheery Lyn.

The sentiments is from the paper pad and a selection of flowers from WOC.

The inside is just simply decorated with more from that lush pad (if any one knows where I can purchase any more of these I would appreciate if you could let me know ;-D)

And a sideways view as always.

Hippy chick

Evening all, I'd like to share another card with you today showing my fave Krista Smith image.  This hippie chick reminds me so much of myself in my teens, when all I wanted to do was save the animals and work for green peace lol.

I did post this coloured image previously as it was the first time i'd used my prisma pencils and I thought it was about time she made it onto a card.

I have used my favourite cordinations cardstock to mat all of my layers, the pretty papers are by prima and i've gone around all off the edges with a white gel pen.

I used lilac bakers twine to hold my little dragon fly charm (both from ribbon girl) and the ticket sentiment is from whimsy which has been cut with the matching die.

 I made the rolled flower using cordinations card (again) with a marianne die and the corners are whimsy.

The little butterflies are MS.

One last picture and thats me done ready to watch the footy.

I do hope you like my card, thank you so much for any comments you may leave.

Hugs xx Cara xx
