Tale of a Rose

Hello everyone, Karina here to show you some inspiration today. The first card I created is made with the gorgeous image 'Tale of a Rose' by Janna Prosvirina. I stamped her on stamping linen Teresa will have in stock soon. It gives your project a special touch. I love the texture of the fabric. I coloured her with Twinklings H2O.

Below you can see a close up... here you can see the texture better...

The second card I show you today is the one I made for our last challenge where we had the theme 'Lots of Layers'. For my project I used another gorgeous image by Janna Prosvirina. This one is 'Memories'.

A close up of the image as well... I coloured her with Copics.

Just today at Crafts and Me Challenges we started a new theme for you. This time we want to see your 'Shabby Chic' projects.

Thank you so much for looking! Have a wonderful day with sunshine in your heart while it is raining outside.
Hugs, Karina

New Vintage Images

Hello crafters, Vicky here late as usual........do you know I think it would be wrong for me to be on time now lol...........just kidding. 

Anyways today I am going to show the gorgeous new Vintage images Teresa has released in her store........let me tell you I lurve them all & the best bit is they are digital..........yep print them out however, when ever & as many times as you wish.........what more could you ask for ;0)

No dont say lottery cus you know all that money, well it would just make you miserable, wouldnt it? lol.

Anyhoo's I will stop rambling & show you my favourite of these images...........

This gorgeous image is called 'Whisper Of Love'.......isn't it soooooo sweet. The best thing about vintage images is they are fabulous for quick makes or if you dont fancy colouring, I love vintage & these are perfect!!!!

I printed this onto Matt photopaper with an inkjet printer & then I distressed & inked the edges before embossing it with UTEE. I then cracked it in places, mainly the corners & inked the cracks to give it an aged effect.

I decided to make a matching tag for a present to go with the card.............yes I really love this image. Also the paper pad I used is an A5 pad so the scraps off making the card were perfect for decorating the tag ;0)

Now the image on the tag I printed off onto Stamping Linen which Teresa will have in stock very soon. Its A5 in size so I just adjusted the sizing on my printer, again inkjet & placed the linen in. It printed onto it absolutely beautifully. I set it to photo image & kept the setting to matt photo as I did for the photo paper, make sure you put it through the printer on the matt side, which is the smoother side. I did not need to attach to paper or anything, the printer took it without a problem. Obviously all printers are different but all I have is an Epsom all in one & I dont use originals Epsom cartridges either. 

Loved the effect on the linen.........will be doing a lot more on linen ;0)

Well thats all from me but why not treat yourself to some Bank Holiday shopping as for the rest of today Teresa has 10% off EVERYTHING in her store. So pop along to Crafts & Me Store & treat yourselves........go on tell your hubsters Vicky sent you ;0) Please dont tell them where I live though ;0)

Wynndy and Glacier Lily Fairy

     Hi. Ann Marie here to share some Crafts and Me inspiration with you today. It's a Hannah Lynn party for me as both of my creations feature beautiful images by Hannah Lynn available at Crafts and Me.  First, a digi image called "Wynndy".  She is colored with copic markers.

   Wynndy was so much fun to color.. all that hair is just fabulous.  Don't know if it is the summer weather and beautiful flowers that are blooming but I have been drawn to these gorgeous bright blues, aquas and hot pinks!

    My second card is the one I made for our last Crafts and Me Rubbah challenge.  It features another image by Hannah Lynn called "Glacier Lily Fairy".  She is out of stock right now but I know Teresa will have her back soon!  

  Once again, I was drawn to the bright colors of the spring and summer!  She is also colored with copic markers and got a splash of Frantage as well.  

    Thanks so much for stopping by.  Please pop over to the Crafts and Me Store to check out these stamps and the NEW VINTAGE images Teresa just posted!  You will be seeing them soon here and in our upcoming challenges!  Also, our Rubbah Team is still hosting its LOTS OF LAYERS challenge.. you still have time to enter. We would love to see what you create! Have a great day!

Hi there! This is Rose sharing two cards that I've made using some of the wonderful digital images available at Crafts and Me Stamps.

You may have seen this card at the recent Dynamite Digi team's "Floral Frenzy!" challenge.  I've merged Lemon Shortbread's Butterfly Melody digital stamp with Hannah Lynn's Tulip Sunrise background digital image to share blooming wishes.

 

I liked that card so much that I merged Art Deco Geraldine digital stamp with Hannah Lynn's A Walk In Paris background digital image to send a special greeting.
