Tea and Cake Deco Pages

Hi everybody, I hope you are all well, before I show you my pages I must apologise for my lack of commenting - I've got behind again and hope to catch up at the weekend.

These are the pages that I've made for Anne in the KCUK deco swap - the theme for her book is Tea and Cakes.


This is the tea page. I covered the page with some teacup peel offs before colouring it with picked raspberry and squeezed lemonade Distress ink, then I removed the peel offs. I then stamped the background.
I stamped the main images onto white card and coloured them with Promarkers then I fussy cut them and adhered them to the card and added the sentiment.
The stamps I used are
Character Construction for the main images and background.
Papermania for the sentiment.


This is the cake page. I used the same coloured distress inks for this background and stamped some hearts. I stamped the cakes and coloured them with Promarkers and I also used glitter pens to colour them, I then fussy cut them and adhered them to the card, then I added the sentiments.
The stamps I used are
Personal Impressions for the cakes.
Molly Blooms for the hearts and banner.

Craft-Room Challenge No 2

Well here we are at our second Craft-Room challenge. We had a fantastic response to our first challenge, thank you everybody that entered  I've never seen so much lovely work in one place and I hope you will all join us in our second challenge.

The theme for our second challenge is Altered Paper Dolls.

I must admit that when I heard what the theme was I panicked a little bit then I remembered that I had stamps that I could use and here is the result  my little dancer.
The stamps that I've used are by Character Construction and I coloured them with Promarkers. The head I cut from a photo in a dancing magazine, I was lucky that she had a mask on that went with the dress. I put stickles round the edge of the mask and covered the dress with stickles. I coloured some tassels with Promarker to match the dress then attached it to the back of the skirt. The last thing I did was to attach some small flowers and some pearls.

The Juggler

I was pleased with the way this card turned out. I wasn't sure if the beads on the wire would work and hope that the ends of the wire stays stuck in between the card.
The stamps are by Character Construction and I coloured the images with Promarkers. I wanted the beads to move from hand to hand so I threaded them on to some wire and stuck the ends of the wire to the arms. The background paper is a Graphicus Guild paper. I embellished the card with black pom poms, some flowers and gems.

Bonjour Madame

I love the Mannequin Cafe stamps by Character Construction, this is my first attempt with them. The Eiffel Tower and Arc De Triomphe are by Invoke Arts, the rest of the images are by Character Construction.
