Gemma's DT Post

Good morning everyone hope you are all well and crafty?
Well it is that time of the month again so here is my DT post for a cute little digi. I used the teapot http://www.eurekastamps.com/proddetail.php?prod=digi11702
which
I coloured in with pro markers and matching cup and saucer http://www.eurekastamps.com/proddetail.php?prod=digi9701. I used some patterned paper with slight script and floral pattern, added some flowers and lace  and to finish it off I added a sentiment Tea Time.



I hope you like my card, if you would like to pop over to my blog http://gemshandmadecards.blogspot.co.uk/

Make New Friends

"Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other's gold"
Do you remember that song?
I remember singing it in rounds when I was a girl scout.
That's what this image,
"Lg Best Friends Sitting (#5906) from Eureka! Stamps,
reminds me of.
The kids in my area just went back to school about a week ago
and this makes me think of when I was young
and when my kids were young.
Each year we'd wonder about our old friends,
what they did over the summer,
if they were going to be in our classes etc.
As well as if we'd be meeting new friends,
who they would be,
were they new kids to the school
or just to the class?
Some wonderful memories!
So enough reminiscing, about the card.....
I used Distrress inks to make the background of sky and grass.
Then I stamped the image onto that background and also onto a piece of white card stock.
I used a bronze Creative Memories pen to color the bench
and colored the 'friends' with FlexMarkers, then fussy cut them.
I adhered the 'friends' right over the stamped image on the background.
I used a Martha Stewart all around the page punch set for the border.

Thanks for stopping by today, leave a comment if you will and be sure to come and visit again soon, our design team have been creating up a storm and have lots to show you.

I'd love to have you stop by my blog
and see what other projects I have to show you.
Happy Stamping!

My bedroom comforter


I was looking at my comforter just before going to bed one evening, and thought, "What a pretty card background this would make!"   Of course, then I couldn't sleep for awhile thinking about which stamps I would use!  I wonder if any other cardmakers have that problem?  I knew that I would definitely want to use Eureka's Baroque Background stamp, so I started with that in the morning.  I ended up also using the peacock feather and in samples below,  the Mosaic background stamp.  The background was created using faux batik technique, and sponging brilliance ink dew drop-shaped pads directly onto the cardstock.

This is the comforter:



Here are a few of the other backgrounds I made trying to catch the look.  I couldn't get a decent photo of two of them, so included one of all four together.


 



I stopped before adding black to this one because I liked how it looked at this point:
