Lou's Card Creations

Hi Everyone

I'm so so busy at the minute and I'm having difficulty keeping my blog up to date.  But as i have a day off i thought i would up date it before the days fly by again.  This is one of the cards i have been making on my demo days and everyone has just been amazed at how easy it is to achieve the colouring with spectrum noirs.  Full colours and instructions are on the Spectrum Noir  blog but here is the finished card.

I've used my Spectrum Noir pens, Luscious landscape Stamp, plain black card for the card base from the Centura pearl Card pack, coredinations card from the Nostalgia pack, a circle epiphany sticker and hen just finished with a sentiment, thread and a couple of brads.  The patterned paper is from a K&Co pack i had in my stash called Spring blossom, which matched perfectly with the lily pads in the image.

Hope you like it.

Hi Everyone

A quick post form me today as i am getting ready for my demo at Stokesley Garden Centre on Saturday, details on the Crafters Companion website. My craft room is in such a mess i need to start now as i can't find anything, what a tip.   However i wanted to share this card as i will be demoing the lovely stamp it stamps (along with many other items) that launched at CHA with Leann a couple of weeks ago.  I never had the chance to make the samples for the TV but i juts knew i would love them as they are different form the little characters i normally colour.  So as they were so different i thought i would have a complete change and do some messy stamping.  And here is the result.

I've used adirondack ink pads and used them like distress ink pads with cut and dry foam.  I then stamped the butterfly from the Dreamy Daisy stamp set with water and blotted dry.  Then i stamped with versamark and used white embossing powder for more butterflies.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set too.  I followed the technique that sheena used on the TV this week on her four day deal and used the butterfly stamp and embossed in white.  A whole range of stamping techniques can be found on her new CD Stamping Style with Sheena..

Hope you like it
