WILLY & EBONY CARD

2011-05-03T07:37:00.006+10:00

Good Morning to my lovely Blogging friends

Today I have another Emerald Faeries Garden card to show off to you all & this time I did a little something
different!
I coloured Willy & then coloured Ebony Plus the top of mushroom & then snipped the stem off. I cut Willy out as to with Ebony & placed them at the front of the card with foam tape to give that 3D look. The other mushies are a stamp which I think is a Whiff of Joy rubber stamp. i used a peice of cardstock to make a new stem for Ebony's mushie.

I then used 1 of my dies cuts to do the foliage & the big flower is a handmade flower with a rose in the center of it. The lil pearl embellies are something I picked up in a $2 shop here in Australia.
The Ticket Stamp is from Whimsy & I have used the Ticket Die Cut from Whimsy Stamps to back the Ticket Sentiment.

Here is a close up of the sweet & adorable Emerald Faeries I used- Willy & Ebony, whom have been coloured with Copic Markers

The Emerald Faeries Challenge Blog & running with our very first Challenge too Ladies, so jump in & enter- our theme for this month is "Anything Goes"

2011-03-17T22:17:00.002+10:00

Hi Ladies, I have a new card I did today of the gorgeous new release- " Willy & Mia"
Only prob is that I left it a little too late to photograph & hence is a little blurry towards
the bottom of the card. I used more pastel colouring this time & I now know not to print
out my digis so small as I couldn't get the blending working completely for me lol! but all in
all, I am happy with the card IRL & it sold within minutes of putting it in the Emerald Faeries
Facebook group :)

Ladies, Don't forget to take up the Emerald Faeries Challenge below- a great prize on offer &
you don't have to use the Faeries for this Challenge! Cheers, Deb

SYLVIA ZET- NEW STAMPS!!!

2011-03-03T10:32:00.001+10:00

OMG Ladies!!!!!! Check these gorgeous stamps out!!!!

Hello talented Crafters :).

I hope you are all well and that you enjoy the first signs of coming Spring. Edinburgh is blooming with white, yellow and violet colours of crocuses at the moment. I have switched off my radio, as birds are singing now all day long and I prefer theirs cheering voices than any other music.

OK, as for the Wee venture. Two crazy, but wonderful weeks behind me. After your encouraging emails and comments I was so full of creative energy, that I couldn’t put my pencil away. And with my other hand I have tried to response to all emails and visit every blog you invited me to. I do apologize if there was any comment or email I have left without a replay, I hope there wasn’t any.

As some of you asked me for images with boys, I have created this little fellow - Suzi’s brother. He will be available as digi along with other images on Monday. I am still thinking about the name for him. If you have any proposition – please let me know.

I can’t wait to show you what I have designed for you. March release of six new stamps is ready to be launched, but if you have any suggestions, what else you would like to see designed be me in future – you are very welcome to leave a comment with your idea, I’ll see what I can do about it.

One more thing – I decided to change the file format for my stamps. Instead of PNG they will be JPG, as many of you asked for this file after having problems with transparent background of PNG. If anyone prefers PNG – it will be available on request.

Thank you again for helping me with promoting my WeeStamps shop. Just two of us - Suzi and me wouldn’t do it without You!

Miles of smile, :)

COLLAGE LAYOUTS

2011-01-31T06:54:00.001+10:00

I have been back to doing some scrapbooking over the past month as well as cards.
It felt great to be able to get back into Collage Layouts again after quite a long
break from doing any! So I thought I would share this 1 & for some reason, I can't upload the others, so will try again a little later :)

Thanks for stopping by today, have a great week.

Hi out there to everyone,

have to say, I had a lot of fun doing them. I experimented with colour combos
& came up with what I feel is my Fav & the combo I am most comfortable in
using plus I love BLUE hee hee! I mainly love to use the Copic Marker combos of-: B91, B93 & B95 for their clothing & W1 & W3 as well. The wings combo
is TG91 & YG93. My skin tones are-: E000, E00 & Ell with R20 for the cheeks
My Fav Hair combo is- Y21, YR21 & YR24. Thanks for stopping by today

BACK AT LAST!!!

2011-01-29T07:54:00.001+10:00

Wow, it is just so great to finally be back online after a long abscence! My
internet & phone lines were finally repaired yesterday afternoon as it was
water damaged from all the rain we had in my lil space in Oz- Rockhampton.
Although Rockhampton suffered so much damage- in the low laying areas
of the city- my family & I were high & dry as we live at the base of 1 of
the local mountains. Our beautiful city which was so gorgeous & green is
now reduced to utter ugliness- all brown from being under water, rubbish
has washed up everywhere & the stench is gagging at times. But in the true
Aussie spirit, Rocky has bounced back & is now fully on the road to
recovery. My heart goes out to those that suffered terrible heartbreak in
both Toowoomba & the lockyer Valley & to all in Brisbane & Ipswich-
who are now all also on the road to recovery along with many other
Queensland towns like Bunderberg, Gympie & Maryborough. A new threat
now lingers off our coast in the form of 2 cyclones- geez, I think we have
had enough already!

Okies, so while I was offline for so so long, I did quite a few cards &
even managed to do some Layouts as well. I would also like to Thank
Ladies that had placed orders in my Online store- your orders- most
of them were sent out to you all last night, physical orders will be mailed
out on Monday coming as it is Saturday morning here :)

Here are a couple of Magnolia cards I did using a couple of my fav
Magnolia Stamps.

2010-11-22T07:39:00.001+10:00

Good Morning & Happy Monday to all :)

Over the past week I have been busy & managed to do a few cards as well but as we have had
so much rain here in Rockhampton, I hadn't been able to get any pics done- but a brief break in
the weather this morning allowed me enough time to snap 2 of my latest cards woo hoo!

I Did 2 Tilda cards with my new stamps from the Merry lil Christmas Collection from Magnolia.
.....Yay!... I have so many to make this year hahaah! Whose bright idea was it to make cards
instead of buying them this year! ummmm I have made about 6 & have about 20 more to go!!!

Anyways I did a Pink Xmas card- a different colour for me & it did turn out cute tho & used
the Magnolia stamp- Jolly Tilda- she is so cuteeeee! The 2nd card, I used Secret Tilda- so
gorgeous this stamp is! On the red card, I heat embossed the Holly Leaves.

TFL Everyone & enjoy your week
