Monkeying Around

Greetings  and welcome - thank you so much for visiting.

One of this weeks releases from McMahon Five Design.com is the set 

Monkey Business by Studio 313.

Isn't he just so cute??  

There are a variety of sentiments with the set - I printed this one, cut it with an oval spellbinder die, sponged it while it was still in the die, and mounted it over a scalloped oval.

I printed the image directly onto the dp from the Prima 6x6 stack Fairy Flora, then painted it with Twinkling H2O's.  the finishing touch was a feather stitch rub-on down one side.

There are some fabulous releases this week - please feel free to follow the links on my side bar to see the other releases by the design team.

Thank you so much for visiting - May your day be blessed

Jenna and Daisy Dog

Welcome, and may you enjoy your visit today.

I have two cards to share using new releases from McMahon Five Design.com.

The first image is from a new line Sue is carrying called D'Amour Allure

Which has both red rubber,digi and clear acrylic stamps.

Let me introduce you to Daisy Dog  who is available as a digi stamp in both JPG and PND files. Isn't she so cute!!

Daisy was printed and then coloured with watercolour pencils.

She was then mounted in a frame made using Spellbinders Labels 10 that was previously embossed. 

The sentiment was computer generated using the Gigi font.

The lower right corner was adorned with some paper flowers that I had coloured with ink and rhinestones. 

The final detail was some silver cord on the top.

The second is being released under the Solocosmo label and is entitled Jenna.

I printed the image onto linen textured card and coloured her with chalks.

I mounted her over some paper scraps that were on my desk, the green is from the Prima Fairy Flora 6x6 stack. All the edges of the layers were sponged with the green ink used to colour her eyes. 

The wee doily at the bottom was one that I had stamped and embossed some weeks ago when I was just 'puddling around' in the studio.

After mounting all the layers on a some speckled cream card, the corners were pierced and the edges sponged with Memento Bamboo Leaves ink.

Orange Dahlias

Greetings to my guests - Thank you for calling by.

It is a soggy summer in my corn of the Antipodes, and today I have been chased indoors from the garden by the rain, so I have chosen this cheerful card to share.

I used the Dotted Dahlias image by Nina B Designs for the focal point, stamping the large one three times and cutting two smaller layers.

They were painted with twinkling H2O s and mounted with foam between the layers to give dimension, and a pearl finished the centers of all three blooms.

The card base was orange card stock, with a green pattern designer paper layer. I made sure the palest corner was where I was going to stamp the quote from Spurgeon.

I finished the card by stamping a Dahlia bud and the sentiment inside.

I Will Sing

Welcome - it is lovely to have you visit again.

This is a new release from McMahon Five Design.com and is called 

I will sing

I printed the image and verse directly onto the design paper - from the Prima, Fairy Flora 6x6 stack. 

 The image comes with the Treble Cleft either open or solid black - a lovely variation.  The open one was printed and coloured with  gold pigment ink. 

The corners are provo-craft vintage corners, and were cut from some card stock that matched the blue in the paper, and I added the 'bliss'  half pearls from Kaisercraft

The butterflies were punched from a subtle gold paper with a Carl Craft punch, and the 'bodies' of gold dimensional paint added.
