Classique Markers by Spectrum Noir, & Secret Kiss by Aurora Wings

 Good evening crafters!

well what can I say! I have been away from the blogging world for well over 12 months! far too long, but lots of things have happenned and its been a jam packed exciting busy craft year for me! I Started very proudly working full time for Crafters Companion last October after being a dt member for 5 years which has been the most incredible amazing achievement that I'm so proud off, and since then I'ts just been a crazy fantastic excitng year!! I have been over to HSN a few times too supporting the shows with Sara and her team and that.... well I cant even put that into words how that felt!!  , so a very good year with much more exciting things to come!... and I really want to get back into blogging, get sharing some projects and finally get onto some step by step tutorials and maybe the odd video, so time to pull my finger out!, I'm starting off with colouring, as Crafters Companion are due to release their gorgeous Classique pens very very soon, and I've been playing, I still have my old spectrums and I still very much love them, they have a place in my craftroom and there they will stay, but these are the newer updates, a beautiful ink formula and the most amazing nibs , I really didnt think I needed any more pens.... but how wrong was I, they are fantastic,  and will happily work alongside all the othe alcohol pens in the range too BONUS! 

so this is the first image I coloured with these pens, an image from Aurora Wings, I love this artists work, you can check out this image called "secret Kiss" and the other stunningly drawn digi stamps right over HERE 

 

thank you as always for taking the time to read my blog, I would love it so much if you dropped me a comment below, 

thanks so much for stopping by

Crafters Companion blog 

and here to share with you is one of my projects.... I have used one of my coloured pages to create a jigsaw puzzle! I used an A5 piece of MDF that I had pre cut...  from my favourite place to buy MDF That Craft Place! ( Danny is amazing at cutting any shape I need!!) into 6 pieces, then once coloured I used gloss modpodge to glue and seal to each piece! fab little gift to make. I Loved making this, I need to be more adventurous and make one with more pieces next!

well go...get hopping!!!

Now we all know adult colouring has been around a while, and its literally taken off!  it is so incredibly popular! suitable for any age and not only is it fun to do, its a brilliant tool to use for stress, anxiety, recuperation therapy the list goes on there are a multitude of reasons and situations where adult colouring has been used and has excelled. ...because its fun,...because you lose yourself in your art work, because its relaxing and calming..... and did I mention FUN!!!??

so ...whats on the way, well a range of brand new colouring mediums, we have the colourista pens and pencils, totally gorgeous, the most gorgeous colouring books!! and what makes these different? well I'll tell you !! the quality of the paper in these brand new books is unbelievable, superb outstanding quality, if you are already use adult colouring books then try these pads, because you will be amazed. the blending you can achieve because of the paper quality will blow your mind! I have been on the Crafters Companion team now for 2 and a half years Sheena's team almost 2 this Christmas coming  so trust me i have done my fair share of colouring whilst on this team ( not to mention my many years colouring previously) and I have never worked with anything like it! and as if that alone isn't enough, they have brought out a foiled paper pad and a glitter paper pad. you'll hear more about all this closer to launch and as the team get colouring and sharing. there will also...wait for it as this bit is just over the top..... a usb of colouring files!!! for you to print on to your own chosen media over and over and over again...excited? we are! so if you are a beginner.... where best to start but with the best products....and if you are an advanced colourer ...this is what you have been waiting for!

 I was extremely honoured to be selected with a few of my design team ladies to have the opportunity to work with these products before launch!, what we hope to do is bring you loads on inspiration, but have you ever thought what you are going to do with all these coloured pages? that's where we want you to take your colouring to the next level, and create stunning, projects using your pages. Here are a couple of mine to show you what 'i've been up to....

FIRST UP just two of the colouring pages from the colouring books , first one from the black and white line pad the second from the glitter pad, effortless blending on these pages!!

 

then how about making something from them... how about an....interchangeable phone case!

very easy to make, just pick up a clear phone case...this one was £1.50!! draw a template, cut out, colour up and I've added a layer of gloss modpodge for added strength, then how about those funky free standing MDF letters you can buy!, this is done using the glitter pad AMAZING in real life!

again super easy!! I painted the back and sides first with my chosen colour, draw round the letters on my page, cut out, coloured up and used Modpodge again to glue on to the MDF and then a coat on top to seal. You could create names, inspiration words, in ANY colour combination to suit your room, or give as the perfect gift!! now I have more to share but .... be patient lol I will be blogging more over the next few days so please pop back, and don't forget go and sign up to the FREE colouring course NOW!! hope to see you there!!

Sheena Douglas One Day Wonder 11th December

Well good evening you crafty lot!!,

  and do I have some FABULOUS news for you! well..... fabulous for me too! so last week, I spoke to the OMG amazinglytalented draw dropping sensation that is the one and only....drum roll please SHEENA DOUGLAS!!! .........................................................................................................................................................................................................

.............................................................( me being speechless!...ANY one who knows me...knows this DOESN'T happen!)

I haven't been that excited in a long time, and was smiling like a Cheshire cat for the rest of the afternoon!

 Sheena has a fabulous one day wonder this week, 11th December on Create and Craft with some totally amazing new products, stamps and stencils, and I was asked if I would like to hang out with the brilliant "Inkoids" and help with some samples! err YES please! Now these girls on this DT turn out some amazing work, if you have Sheena's products then you know the quality, just beautiful beautiful! so the pressure was on!!

 I'm a newbie to using stencils,  I have to say my first try was using some of Sheena's last stencils released and they are on my blog I LOVED working with them, and that's when I got the bug , I cant wait to get inking stamping, and digging deep into the pot of working with mixed media! but its a learning curve, right!? part of the fun, and if I can learn it then anyone can, so, I will stop waffling and share with you a sneaky peek of the gorgeous new products that will be winging there way to you...

be gentle with me guys , remember I'm learning lol, so here i have used a new stamp with Red Riding hood on! , the most fabulous tree stamp, and 3 of the new stencils being launched, that depict, landscapes, trees and  clouds...AMAZING! The top one I used the tree stamp, to stamp at different angles around my image, popped the image of Red in the centre, coloured up with my spectrum noir pens and then added lashings of distress inks to create some spooky atmosphere! I have to say you wouldn't catch me walking through there! and number 2, well..... this was a work in progress as it was my first time using a stencil to create a landscape... well any landscape actually lol, i thought i had lost it at one point and it nearly headed in the bin! but i ploughed through and persevered, got covered in more ink ( was fab!)  and kept working it! I had the best couple of hours ! honestly i kept thinking what i hear Sheena say on telly...its just a piece of card! it can be quite scary when your throwing lots of colours at it, but it was great fun! This one i coloured in Aquatints and then used distress inks to define my landscape.

now for a SPLASH OF COLOUR!

Here i have used the most luscious of lush colours!! Aquatints Bright and Beautiful!....and they are definitely that!, there was a stamp of just two Wolf eyes, and i just loved it, didn't want to use anything else, just that and my Aquatints, 

Simply by wetting some watercolour colour card then adding droplets of juicy colours i created the most amazing background

a touch of gold frantage to the corners, and using one of Sheena's sentiments that come with the stamp...voila! quick, simple and FUN!

right, the shows! Create and Craft 11th of December, show times 8am, 11am, 2pm, 4pm and 7pm

get yourself a lovely cuppa and get your feet up ready, and watch Sheena bring you some dazzling new products! 

I will be showing the rest of my samples tomorrow! the Highland Cow is just superb!!!

thank you for dropping by!! would love to now what you think!

Brambly Hedge Stamps from Crafters Companion

Hi Guys,

so this week I had the pleasure of working with some of the  Brambly Hedge  Stamps for Crafters Companion

Me and the girls on the DT really have loved this collection! but while all the stamps work fabulously TOGETHER to create beautiful pictures, and you can see this in the collection as there are main stamps and then the most wonderful little accent stamps, but I really wanted to see if I could create something using each stamp on their own?!  We all try to bring you something different when making our DT cards, the whole point in having such a wonderful varied team is we all create as many different designs as we can to showcase as many possibilities that we can think of for you !, and the samples this time have been fabulous! so here we go,

the stamps i was given to work with were

1. Juggling Mouse 
2. Old Keys
3. Triple Cots
4. Steaming bowls

All created using CC pearl card stock bases, all the wonderful collall glues! then various bits from my crafty stash, stamped onto CC Neenah card stock and coloured up with Spectrum Noir pens and pencils!

thanks for taking a peek!

hope you will drop back soon!

Open Rose Vase by Just Inklined

Good Morning Crafters,

Today I am sharing a special card with you all, It has been a very sad week this week for me as I lost a very dear friend last monday. Who fought an extremely brave battle over the last 3 years with cancer, my beautiful friend Pam xx She started as my boss! a few years ago, and quickly became my friend, I have many wonderful, and funny memories that I am very grateful for, but today is the day we go to say goodbye, and I found myself having to make a card I didn't ever want to make . 

Pam loved bright beautiful colours, so I thought of what to do, and this card wasnt about how fancy I could make it or how many dies I could use, it was about choosing something pretty in memory of my friend to give to her lovely daughter Jo, and the message it would send, and so I chose a beautiful image from 

Just Inklined called Open Rose Vase

 

I coloured it up with my Spectrum Noir pens choosing colours I knew Pam would like and then inside I chose the words

Those we love remain with us

For love itself lives on,

And cherished memories never fade

Because a loved ones gone

Those we love can never be

More than a thought apart

For as long as there is memory

They'll live on in our heart.

thank you for stopping by and readsing my post today

love
