Football Boot or Soccer Boot

Jane the Flower Girl is putting in the boot 

Jane has turned the sketch on it's side. The stamp set that she has used is the football boot all of the images come from this set.

The boot could be coloured in team colours.

The background stencil is the Dutch Doobadoo Absract Stencil. The stencil works really well with the football theme. This is a great card from Jane, and would be great for these peskie men or the ever growing number of girls playing football.

Multi Coloured Dog

Here we have another take on this sketch

This one I have turned on its side

and changed it a little bit.

Meet Sausage Dog

I used my Sakura Koi Brush Pens and coloured each stripe a different colour, I think it looks rather snazzy.

I inked the edges of a panel for Sausage to go on

Then I decided that it did not have enough contrast, so I got out my stencil brush again and did a sort of strie technique this worked as the card is textured. I have done faux stitching around the panel and the card.

Sausage fits on the panel perfectly, the card is A4 Linen Card folded in half.

I used some Fancy Twine around some card for the small section

The words come from the same stamp set

I have layered them on one of the Fitted Frames dies from Stampendous.

Christmas Horn and Ribbon

A traditional card comes from Gill as she wanders on her Crafty Journey

Gill has used Jane's Clear Magic Christmas Horn

Gill has stamped in brown and then water coloured with inks. I love the way that Gill has coloured the ribbon in shades of red. The card has been given a touch of sparkle with Red Stickles.

I love the big red double bow made with 15mm red organza ribbon.

Gill has step by step instructions and sizes over on her blog Gill's Crafty Journey so pop over to see get more information on how she has made the card.

A Very Elegant Christmas Tree

Crafty Debs has been very crafty with this traditional Christmas card

The stamp is the Traditional Tree from Jane's new Clear Magic release.

the tree has been stamped in dark green and then coloured with Sakura colouring pencils. The tree has been finished off with Sparkler Gems Peel Offs that come in various colours. The tree has been layered behind a die cut window, Debs has also used an embossing folder on the card layer.

the Punched tag has been stamped with the greeting from the same stamp set, but the craftiness comes in the way that Debs has stamped the words. On the stamp they are in a row, but that didn't fit with Debs design so not to be stopped she has masked off the words individually so that she could stamp them where she wanted them on the tag. Don't you just love stamps?

The white on white dotty ribbon finishes off this very elegant card.

Pointillism for Christmas

Jane the Flower Girl has created a great look for these snowmen

Jane has used her Skating Snowmen simply stamped them and given them a vintage feel with her choice of colours. Jane has used the Woodware Scruffer to distress the edges and added some colour around the edge.

Of course Jane has added some Stickles to sparkle up the card, and the colouring is Pointillism which we featured last year.

Pointillism /ˈpɔɪntɨlɪzəm/ is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image. Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed the technique in 1886, branching from Impressionism. The term “Pointillism” was first coined by art critics in the late 1880s to ridicule the works of these artists, and is now used without its earlier mocking connotation. The movement Seurat began with this technique is known as Neo-Impressionism. The Divisionists, too, used a similar technique of patterns to form images, though with larger cube-like brushstrokes.

I love this card from Jane the Flower Girl I think that it would be very relaxing to make a few of these in an evening.
