Then with Constructive acetate(from crafters companion), l put behind the topper to make it 3d, where l diecut a edged snowflake then put  a border strip from the cardkit down the side . Then with a star and flakes placed on the top to give that illusion.My flowers l made sure they were clearly embossed to give effectiveness.All this was place on crafters companion gold tinted cardstock and finally that was put on a basecard co-ordinatinf my colours, whch was die-cut with grand spellbinders which can be bought from crafters companion too.

This image l used given out fromhttp://simplybettystamps.blogspot.co.uk/p/frankenbetty-is-ready-to-stitch-it-up.html , they wish you to use it in their facebook challenge. I coloured in with my pro/flexmarkers, and designed my base card with coloured webbed wrap coloured in purple.then followed a back scene halloweenish. Then using my dies for borders and bats,castle and flowers. Then to finish it I stiched my ribbon in & out on the borders, added gems, then made my flower with a pearl and placed it in the tag given with the image, as you can use both to win  more from their site.

Embossed Fan

I loved doing this project, its my first attempt too. Using cardstock shimmer gold from crafters companion l die-cut and embossed 6 fans bought from there too fromm Mariannes collection of dies, which l softly distressed all the embossed details in a pearly buff colour ink. Then using the Moreheads children cd collection, which again is from crafters companion, which l really recommend getting its so cute. I printed off the ephianys and slightly sprayed them with spray & shine that's from there, glossed them and then die-cut into the shapes required to fit onto the the panels of the fan. then printed off a single image from the cd and again glossed. Then put together with added embellishments eg pearls, crystal flowers and tassel with a co-ordinating Brad, which some of them can be bought from crafters companion too and done.

This is done to join in their challenge for September, & in hope to be picked out to be a guest there too, l would be a happy bunny.

Many thanks for popping over xxx Theresa

MONO Steampunk



This is very different to my normal cards and thoroughly enjoyed it.Firstly l wanted it mono brown coloured,using a steampunk effect. So with my multi-circular clockfaces background which l distressed slightly and put on a browen edged card base. Then printed off multi cogs and clockwings and glazed them.Then with a QUOTE saying l distressed and matted onto a gold framed TAG, that had co-ordinate ribbon through it. Placed lace ribbon down the leftside of the card, & cutout my steampunk image, which l then coloured with my flex/promarkers. Layered it up on a distressed circle frame, then another fancy die-cut circular frame, which l trimmed round the outer frame with pleated ribbon, then finally 2 peel-off corners to finish it off.

Over on Whimsy Stamps challenge its Ribbon & Lace, Then over on Through the Purple Haze challenge its tickets or tags, on That Craft Place challenge its Monochrome, Over on I love Promarkers its #179 steampunk or mechanical, on Get Inky Challenge its RIBBONS, on Crafty Ribbons challenge its Use One or More Circles, On Country View Crafts challenge its quotations or sayings, Challenge 4 Everbody#26 Anything Goes, then on C.R.A.F.T. challenge 218 Monochromatic.
