CINDY

Hello everyone, happy Tuesday. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

I'm here today with a Whimsy stamp by the super talented Sylvia Zet.......OMG is she so talented & I lurve ALL of her images.

Tracy has added LOTS of new items to her store lately.....OMGoodness I dont know what to play with first.......I'm like a kiddie in a sweetie shop lol.

All links to items used are at the bottom of this post.

The Sylia Zet stamp is called 'Cindy', isn't she such a sweetie-pie. I coloured her with distress markers & refills. She is stamped onto Langton watercolour paper that Tracy also stocks......love LOVE this stuff, totally converted most of the DT girls lol.

Excuse this photo I couldn't get the colouring right or true on it, for some reason the image looks washed out:-(

However one thing that is showing true is this gorgeous lace......I was nearly crying when I cut into.I just wanted to feel & stroke it forever...... This really is so incredibly beautiful in real life, it really is.

I've used gorgeous WOC flowers which Tracy now also stocks & she has just recently added these gorgeous Pomegranate Apples........I lurve the sparkle on these. Also at the back you will notice the new Poppies, I added apink one & a white one.

I coloured up some card with 3 different shades of green distress ink & then cut the Ivy Leaf from that & then added touches of gesso here & there. I found that by painting the card myself the colour is not flat.

Another leaf here from my favourite Craft and You die & I added one of the gorgeous Glass Strawberries.....ya gotta love these!! I also added one of the pretty Magnolia flowers.

Can you see that beautiful lace.......so so pretty!!

The totally beautiful paper is Craft and You 'Rose Garden'.......ok I have to say this is my most favourite paper/pad ever.........the designs, the colours & the quality is indescribable, it really is stunning!!!

To get the shape around the image I used Marianne Design Wave Border Set. Also can you see the Scrapiniec chipboard at the top corner......I painted it with White Gesso then took some inspiration from our fabulous Bev Rochester & covered it with Tim Holtz distress glitter dust.......it adds such gorgeous sparkle.......shame our camera's dont like sparkle :-(

I think I've covered everything lol, all links to products used are below as always. So why not sit back with a cuppa & go spoil yourself & go do some shopping in Noor Design UK.

Enjoy the rest of your day & thank you so much for stopping by.

Toodles, lotsa hugs

Precious Time

Hi everyone. It's my last post for Noor! Design UK today as Tracy's guest and yep you guessed it, I'm running late again. The past couple of weeks have just been a hectic time, but luckily it should start calming down for me a bit next week. So as you can tell time is a precious thing to me at the moment and that leads us rather neatly into my project today.

I must admit that I was completely out of my comfort zone with this one as I don't really play with mixed media a lot. When Tracy first asked me if I fancied decorating one of the MDF clocks I thought I'd do something very steampunk inspired, but it really didn't work out. So I've been putting this one off till the end lol.

In the end I've gone for shabby chic with a bit of steampunk fusion with the addition of the gears and clock face die. I hope you like it.

I primed my clock with plenty of gesso before adding the paper, crackle glaze and gluing together.

Love that distress glitter, it's fabulous, mind you it get's everywhere lol!

I added lots of Crackle Glaze, I really like the way it adds interest here.

Adding some leaves in among your flowers really helps to break them up when you have a lot of them together, and adds extra interest.

and I finished off with a lock and key and more gesso.

I hope you like my make today, I've really enjoyed my time as a guest with Noor! Design UK, even if I have had to step out of my comfort zone at time. Thank you so much Tracy for inviting me.

Linda :) xx
