Bookworm



Other than crafting I don't think there is anything else I would rather get lost in than a book. I love the way you can be transported to another place. What are your favorite books? I always like recommendations so hit me with them :) 
I think my favorites are  Philip Pullmans "Dark Materials" trilogy. I can not tell you how excited I am that the BBC is doing an adaption of them on at the moment. It is so much better than the film.


Anyway onto my card. I made this one at the Crafty Purple Frog getaway and we were lucky enough to have Kraftin'  Kimmie and Trimcraft donate our little group some very yummy goodies to use over the week. 
This stamp set is called "Girl Power" you get two great characters in the set as well as some fitting sentiments. I have made something with the other girl as well so watch this space :) 
I coloured my bookworm with the following tri-blend markers:
Skin: Fair Skin Blend
Hair: Ice Blue Blend
Jumper, glasses and trousers: Ice Grey Shades
Shoes and top: Bright Pink Shades
Bag: Dull Green Blend and Light Green Blend
Book: Red Brown Blend
Ground: Red Brown Blend


The paper is from First Edition and was part of some samples that Trimcraft kindly sent us. The paper are called wonderlust and this one is foiled and stunning. As normal for me to finish the card I added some nuvo drops to add a bit of dimension and texture.

Wonderlust

 Hello I hope you are all well and enjoying this beautiful autumn weather. I don't know about you but when I can I would love to do more traveling and see some more of the world. I have been lucky to see quite a few place already but there is so much to see!


So this Kraftin' Kimmie stamp set called "life is a journey" it really spoke to me when I saw it. I have coloured this lovely lady up with the following Spectrum noir tri-blends:

Skin: Fair Skin Blend
Hair: Earth Brown Shade, Earth Brown Blend
Sunglasses: Ice Grey Shade
Top: Ice Blue Blend
Trousers: Lavender Blend
Backpack: Green Turquoise Blend
Suitcase: Muted Brown Blend
Ground: Grey Brown Blend
Outline/ background: Light Yellow Blend, Gold Yellow Blend, Gold Brown Blend.


For the background I used one of the Krafin' Kimmie stencils called "leaves and vines". I used cracked pistachio distress oxide ink and the whole stencil to cover a piece of white paper and then twisted the stencil around to a different angle before using lucky clover distress oxide to ink through the stencil again. I love the effect this has given me. 
I made this card while on the Crafty Purple Frog getaway and the design paper was from a first edition paper pack called "Wonderlust" that was kindly donated for us to all be able to use by Trimcraft. To finish it off I used some Nuvo drops just to add a bit of sparkle and texture.
If you like my creations I would LOVE it if you would follow me so I can follow you back :)
