A not so scary haunted staircase

This pretty princess is not scared by this staircase in her castle. I wanted to show that this Haunted Staircase digi stamp from Sweet November Stamps could be used for more than just Halloween. 

The beautiful princess is an oldie but a goodie called Lillianne. She is another digi stamp from Sweet November Stamps. I love the way you can mix and match all the digi stamps so easily to make fun scenes like this. I coloured this scene with a mix of copic markers and a gold Nova acrylic paint pen. to add some shiny metallic details to her bodice.

The sentiment is from the Royal Treatment clear stamp set.

I hope you are all having a lovely week and I would love to know what characters you would like to put in this castle :D

Let the shellebration begin!

I am so ready for the warmer weather to show up now. I think this little mermaid is feeling the same. She was part of the last digi Christmas release over at Sweet November Stamps last year but she definitely works for any season.

She is part of the Griswold and Bethany digi set and because she is a digi you could grab her right now. No waiting for or paying for postage. It doesn't get much better than that :D  

I have coloured her up with the following copics:

Hair: W10, W8, W6, W4

Skin: V17, E35, E13

Tail: R85, R83, R81

Clam shell: E42, E41

Sand: E43, E42

Water: B00

Dahlia Fae

This beautiful oldie but a goodie digi is called Dahlia-fae and you can get her from the awesome Sweet November Stamps. I had a lot of fun colouring her up with copics and will have a video on my colouring shortly on my YouTube channel. If you haven't already I would love it if you would follow me over there. You can find my YouTube 

For the background I used a stencil called Laurel from Lavinia stamps and inked blended Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn distress oxide inks before flicking some Rustic Wilderness distress oxide spray. 

I coloured her with the following copics:

Skin: E33, E11, E00

Hair: W9, E49, E59, E57

Die cutting First Edition craft Vinyl

I have another Christmas in July inspired make for you today. This time I am showcasing the mat-less vinyl from DRK Crafts. I got sent some to play with and used the white, silver and blue to create the tea light holder using a cheap glass I got from the supermarket. And I also upcycled a glass jar that had cooking sauce in it to make a vase. Rather than using a cutting machine as I have not got mine on hand at the moment I used my dies (I used the snowflakes from the falalala Time for tea dies) and die cutting machine to create these.

This is what I learned from die cutting these snowflakes.....

It die cuts easily and it gives a great option for those that don't have an expensive cutting machine. However getting the little unwanted bit out of the dies before you can use them again is a bit annoying and time consuming. Plus you generally can't use the transfer film as the cut shapes can lift with the dies so do not stay on the backing sheet with this method. So the weeding process is harder and of course you need to cut repeated times as can only cut as many as you have the dies for each time. All in all I would prefer to do this sort of project with a cutting machine but am pleased with the results so I hope you like it too.

The glass tealight holder has a fake candle in it and the glass itself was 50p in ASDA. 

The "vase" is as you can see a recycled curry sauce jar. 

I really enjoyed using this First Edition matless vinyl and can not wait to use it with a cutting machine but this showed me that there are so many more options for how it can be used.

I am entering these makes for the following challenges:

The crafty addicts - Anything Goes

The holly and the ivy - Christmas

Crafting from the heart - Anything but a card goes

Pearly Sparkles - Christmas in July

Gerbera daisy fae my first post as part of the Sweet November Stamps DT

I am so excited to be able to share this card as my first official post as part of the Sweet November Stamps DT. This is one of the beautiful Flower Fae digis.

I have coloured this Gerbera daisy fae with the following copics:

Skin: V17, E35, E13 (R22 for lips)

Hair: W9, W7, W5

Flower:YR27, Y19, Y13

Leaf: G28, G09, YG03

Dress: V17, V15, V12

Hay bale: Y28, YR31, Y11

Grass: YG25, YG03,YG01

Sky: B00

For the rest of the card to spotlight her I have used a mix of 2 Dovecraft A4 card packs, Summer and Primary. On the yellow card I used the Heffy Doodle Flower power stencil and rather than inking through it I used a white gel pen to make lots of dots forming the flower shapes. Then I moved the stencil to fit even more of them in.
