Door Hanger

Hello my crafting friends, wasn't the shows from our Sheena brilliant yesterday? There are more today at 11 & 3 and tomorrow at 11, 5 & 6.

May I thank you all who have commented on my posts, it is very much appreciated and I shall try and get round you all soon. thank you xxx

Today I am showing you the Door hanger that I made...

I painted the door hanger with White Gesso and left to dry then using a Sheena Douglass Graphics Equaliser Stencil I spread Galleria Modelling Paste through it to add some texture.

Round the bottom I added some Bronze Ribbon. I stamped the rose from Sheena Douglass Sketchy Stamps Every Rose onto some Red Self Adhesive Felt and cut it out, I stamped it again onto Sheena White Stamping Card so I could paint the leaves using AquaBlend Pencils then stuck this onto the back of the rose and attached it to the hanger with Red Tape right up in the corner.

On Black card I stamped the Microphone from Sheena Douglass Sketchy Stamps Sing with my Versamark Ink Pad then heat embossed it with Papermania Silver Embossing Powder, I cut it out very carefully then chose a variety of ribbons to tie round the end and left quite a good length on them this was my interpretation of Steven Tyler's' (Areosmith) Microphone. I attached this to the hanger to the left of the rose with Foam Tape.

Finally I stamped the sentiment using my Versamark Ink Pad and heat embossed it with Papermania Bronze Embossing Powder.

I hope you like it? Enjoy the shows if you get chance to watch any, please do look out for the stunning creations from the Design team.

Thank you for looking, Jacquie 

Two for ya!

Hello my crafting friends, well today is the day Sheena showcases her wonderful new Sketchy  Rock n Roll stamps, the shows start on Hochanda at 10am this morning so please watch and enjoy.

Here are more of my samples...

This one shows the Microphone from the 'SING' set. I have coloured the background with Spectrum Noir pens then dabbed some blending solution over the top on a cotton wool pad. The microphone is embossed with Papermania Silver Embossing Powder as are the word round the edge of the card. The sentiment is stamped on with Stazon Jet Black.

This one I stamped the two different Drum sets from the 'BEAT IT!' set on separate squares of Black Card and heat embossed them with Papermania Silver Embossing Powder. They are all matted onto Silver Card and then onto some Silver striped patterned Card. I embossed the sentiment the same way and matted it onto Silver card and placed it in the center as seen.

I hope you enjoy the shows, do let me know what you think?

Rock & Roll!

Hello my fellow crafters, good to have you with me today, only one more day till our lovely Sheena is back on our screens with her wonderful Rock n Roll stamps, her first show is tomorrow (Friday) at 10 am.

Here is another of my samples...

This cards shows the Guitar and Amplifier from Sheena's Sketchy Stamps Rock n Roll. For the background I painted over Black Card with Aquatints Bright & Beautiful set using the Yellow, Orange and Blue colours working from the center out then covered round the edge with salt and left to dry overnight. This gives the little crackle effects you can see, each time is different you never get the same look twice but make sure the paint is really wet, this is why Aquatints are ideal for this technique. I then mixed some White Gesso and water and dabbed it over the center with an ink pad using first, second & third prints each time to get the different shades.

I then stamped the Amplifier off center with my Versamark Ink Pad and heat embossed it with Cosmic Shimmer Embossing Powder Black. On a piece of card I stamped and heat embossed the guitar in the same way, coloured it with Aquablend Pencils then cut it out by hand and placed it against the Amplifier as seen. I stamped the sentiment straight onto the card using Stazon Jet Black Ink. I matted this onto Gold Texture Card.

Using more Black card I made an A4 card by taping two cards together then measured it to fit the topper leaving enough on the edge to fit my Heartfelt Creations Regal Boarder & Pockets die just to add that bit of flourish, however I have since found my musical notes die which would have been more fitting lol!

I hope you like my samples so far, there are more to come lol! 

Thank you for looking, Jacquie xxx

SHOUT!

Morning my crafting friends so good to have you visit me today. Sorry for the confusion yesterday it was not two cards I posted but one, the second picture is what is inside the gatefold card lol!

Thank you for all your wonderful comments I really do appreciate them and I apologize if you have a blog that I have not got round to viewing and commenting on, I do try but finding it more difficult to find the time of late so I can only apologize. 

Todays post is another sample for our Sheena shows on Hochanda on Friday at 10 & 2, Saturday at 11 & 3 and Sunday at 11 & 6. 

This one showcases 'The Band' from Sheena's Sketchy Stamp Shout! For the background using Sheena Douglass White Stamping Card I used two of Tim Holtz Distress Inks Squeezed Lemonade and Fired Brick blending them together as best as I could then dabbing the ink pad over the background with Fired Brick.

I then stamped my image on top using my Versamark Ink Pad then heat embossed it with Creative Expressions Cosmic Shimmer Embossing Powder Black.

  

Using Sheena's Sketchy Stamps Grunge Band  I then stamped and heat embossed them into two opposite corners with Papermania Gold Embossing Powder, with more of the Grunge band stamps I inked them up with Pebeo Mixton Relief Paste and left it to dry a short time, not the hour it says just until it was almost clear then I added the foil on top rubbed it down and left it to dry a bit longer before rubbing the foil with the flat end of a paint brush until it released itself from the card. I then inked up a small piece of card like the background, stamped my sentiment on top with Stazon Jet Black Ink, matted it onto a piece of Black Card then placed it on the card as seen.

I hope you can manage to see one of the shows, please do let me know what you think. Do take a look at all the stunning cards the rest of the Design Team have created.

Thank you for looking, Jacquie xxx
