As seen on TV

Today was the second show of splogical inspiration on the the TV. Tom (aka Mr SplodgeAway) and Maria were showcasing brand new SplodgeAway products on ideal world and for those of you who missed it they will also be on create and craft at 6pm.

The design team only had 6 days to get some sample cards out (some only had a couple of days)  and i think we all did a very good job

Here are a few of my samples that you may of got a glimpse of i will over the next few days post more of them that made an appearence.

I will say you should check out the new stenscapes, thats what ive used to create the 3 snow scene cards and you will love the wolf creek  and city scape one.

Vintage LOTV

Another gorgeous LOTV card today, i made this while hubby was watching the football so i didnt feel guilty that i wasnt sat keeping him company. There is so much distressing on this card that it gives it a vintage feel and the colours ive used adds to the vintage theme.

 Ive coloured the image in with promarkers and cut it out with a nestie then distressed the edges with walnut stain. the papers ive used are MME again all the edges are distressed with walnut stain. Ive framed the image with lots of wild orchid crafts flowers and the ribbons were from a seller on facebook. Ive added time holtz tags and a butterfly cut from the cricut , a string of pearls finishes the butterfly. ive also added a string od clear beads around the image to complete the frame. Everything is finished off with edges smothered in gold stickles.

Im going to have a mooch around the net and see what challenges this will fit.
im entering this into Passion for promarkers - Cut it out, ive used a die cut butterfly

Birthday Bunny

Here is the finished card from the picture i showed yesterday, Ive cut it out using a nesti and used the out of the box technique that i saw over on Bevs blog (if you havnt payed her a visit yet its a must her cards are amazing).
Ive gently dusted the image with a colorbox inkpad in parchment colour, i think it gives it a soft hue.

The papers are a mix or October afternoon and die cuts with a view, the text paper was plain but ive colour tinted it with Tim Holtz distressing inks , the sentiment is LOTV. Apart from the ribbon and the gems thats all the embellishments ive added as i didnt want to over do it with flowers as its for my cousins little boy, he will be 1 on Saturday, i will add his name in chipboard in the top left corner. The inside is decorated with same papers.

Inky fingers

I got out my new splodge away mat (contact suzicraft for details or to purchase) distressing inks and mica powders to create this card and now hence the title i have inky fingers. ive distressed the card within an inch of its life using a mix of tumbled glass, forest moss, mustard seed, barn, door, walnut stain, pumice stone and spiced marmalade, then mixed my mica powder in a spray bottle with water and spritzed the card, the over stamped it with a selection of Tim Holtz urban grunge collection and TPC studio classic icons,. The love and listen to your heart was inked with an embossing pad and embossed with WOW embossing powder in opaque white. The flower was punched with 3 different sized circles then inked spritzed and scrunched.
Ive washed my hands several times, went in the bath last night, showered this morning and there is still ink on my fingers, I really hope my hands will come clean before i go to work this afternoon.
