Dylusions Diary - Week 4

Good morning everybody. I have week four of my diary to share with you today.

The flower page was already printed so I just coloured it with felt tip pens leaving the white border round the flowers, I decided not to add anything else to the page. I decorated the diary page with Just Rite stamps and Hero Art stamps.

Thank you for looking, have a lovely day. xxx Hazel.

Cats

Hi everyone, sorry I've not done much commenting lately, hopefully by the weekend I should be visiting your blogs.

The challenge at Moo Mania and More is Cats so I'd like to enter a card that I made a couple of months ago.

I matted some paterned paper onto a white card blank. For the background I used distress ink to colour a Justrite stamp, before stamping it I sprayed some water on the inked stamp. The images were stamped with Laurel Burch stamps onto white card and then I coloured them with felt tip pens and cut them out. I added some flowers and sequins.

Thank you for dropping by, have a lovely evening.

xxx Hazel.

Watercolour Stamping

Good morning everyone, I thought it was time to start sharing some of the things that I've made over the year.
These are some cards that I made for a Watercolour Stamping Challenge at KCUK.

For the background on this card I used a JustRite stamp. I coloured the stamp with different coloured distress inks and sprayed water on it before stamping it on to the card. The image is a Judikins stamp and I used the same distress inks and water on watercolour paper as I did for the background. The sentiment is an Artistic Stamper stamp.

For this card I used a PaperArtsy stamp. I coloured the stamp with distress ink and sprayed with water then stamped the image two or three times on watercolour paper before inking it again. The sentiment is a PaperArtsy stamp.

For the background I used distress ink again but sprayed the watercolour paper with water before stamping. For the image I coloured the stamp with distress ink and sprayed water on it before stamping.
The background stamp is an Elusive Images/Chocolate Baroque stamp.
I'm not sure who made the image stamp.

Vintage Stamping

I'ts the lovely Julia's turn to choose the theme for the latest Craft Room Challenge and Vintage Stamping is the theme she has chosen.

This is what she has to say about the challenge.
I love anything vintage, particularly in the craft world and I am in my element when working with this genre.  I would like to see any vintage stamping project, but just for this challenge  no cute please.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Tando Creative, who produced some of the best chipboard products (in my opinion) on the market, so a very big thank you to them.



Our guest designer for July is very talented Helene aka 2amscrapper.

Here is my DT piece.

The card I used for the background is from a scalloped edged card blank that I'd messed up, I cut it to fit the card blank that I was using and I also rounded the corners of the card blank.
I started by stamping the background with Distress ink then I added some tissue tape.
I stamped the image onto white card and watercoloured it with Distress ink, I rounded the corners and edged it with vintage photo Distress ink, I also inked the edges of the background and the card blank. I adhered some lace to the image then adhered it to the background.
I added the flowers and embellishments, then I masked the image and sprayed pink, yellow and green mica spray over the flowers and lace.

The stamps I used are.
JustRite for the diamond background.
7Gypsies for the butterfly.
Flonzcraft for the main image.

As usual the rest of the Design team have made some fabulous samples so please visit the Craft Room Challenge site to take a look.

Butterfly Deco Pages

I'd like to share with you the pages I made for Linda in the KCUK deco book swap, the theme of her book is Butterflies.

I used Distress inks to colour and stamp the background. I stamped the butterflies onto card that I'd previously coloured and cut them out, I put stickles on the wings.
The stamps I used are
PaperArtsy for the background.
La Blanche for the butterflies.
The Artistic Stamper for the sentiment.

For this page I coloured and stamped the background with Distress ink.
I stamped the butterfly image onto the background and a separate piece of card. I coloured the butterflies, cut them out and put stickles on the wings. I stamped the Butterfly Legend onto card and matted it onto some black card. I added a charm.
The stamps I used are
JustRite for the background.
Crafty Individuals for the butterfly image.
Wendie Rhodes for the butterfly legend.

I'm entering the top page in the Ali-Craft challenge - the theme is an Open theme.

Bon Yoyage

Here is my last CREATIVE EXPRESSIONS DT piece using the JustRite Bon Voyage stamp set.

I started by colouring a white card blank with faded jeans Distress ink and edging it with stormy sky, then I stamped the Eiffel Towers with stormy sky. I then added the doily and the ribbon. I stamped the main images with stormy sky and embossed them with clear embossing powder, I cut them out and matted them onto dark blue card. I attached a blue rosette to the larger image and added the Eiffel Tower.

Paris

This is my latest CREATIVE EXPRESSIONS card using the JustRite Bon Voyage stamp set.
I covered a card blank with a piece of double sided paper, folded a corner over and added a fleur de lis brad, then I slipped a small piece of the paper behind the fold. Using the Spellbinders set of Fleur de Lis Accents I cut a couple of the long strips and coloured them with evergreen bough Distress ink and then adhered them edge to edge on a piece of the reverse side of the paper then I added some rivets and adhered it to the card. I put some ancient copper Cosmic Shimmer UTEE onto a none stick mat and melted it with my heat gun then stamped the Eiffel Tower in it, I adhered it to the card when it had cooled down. I stamped and embossed the Paris attached it to the card and added another fleur de lis brad to the corner.
