AIRBRUSHING TUTORIAL

Hi there and thanks for stopping by.

I just wanted to let you know that I have just posted a tutorial on "HOW TO AIRBRUSH A SNOWY BACKGROUND WITH COPICS" on the LaLaLand crafts blog.

This is the card I made….


If you would like to see how I made the background behind Luka, you can view the entire tutorial HERE

I'd love to know what you thought of my tutorial so I can improve next time.

Oh, and if you are wondering who the "hand model" is in the tutorial, it's my DD#2. Those hands are WAY too young and smooth to be mine.

Thanks for stopping by,

DS128 ~HAPPY BIRTHDAY~

It's my Mum's Birthday tomorrow, and I have used this week's new Deconstructed sketch to make her card. It's a bit different from my usual style, but I think she will like it.




I've used Graphic 45 papers, a few different dies and a text stamp from Penny Black. You're probably thinking hmmmm… she hasn't used her copics, but you would be wrong if you are. The antique looking lace started white and I coloured it to match the papers.

Here's jen's awesome sketch….




You can check out all of the DT girl's blogs below.....





We would love you to join in the fun and link up your creation on The Deconstructed Sketch blog HERE

Have a great week, and Happy Birthday to my lovely Mum.

Hugs,

INSPIRATION FRIDAY ~ ABOUT A BOY~


This week's theme over at LaLaLand crafts is ABOUT A BOY.

I always struggle with boy cards, but had lots of fun colouring up this super-cute Luka. I must give credit to my dear friend Bernie for the card design, as she has already made a very similar card, and even included a little bag of bath crystals behind a cut-out circle in the card.

So here is my boy-themed card…...



I hope you like it.

SWEET 16 ~DS127~

Hi there.

It's time for a new Deconstructed sketch.

DD no 2 turned 16 this week, so I used Jen's awesome sketch to design her birthday card…..


She loves animal print, and I even found matching wrapping paper for her gift. She loves to decorate cakes, hence this particular Saturated Canary image.

And here's Jen's fab sketch…



It was so quick and easy to work with. I'm sure I will be using it over and over again.

You can check out all of the DT girl's blogs below.....





We would love you to join in the fun and link up your creation on The Deconstructed Sketch blog HERE

Have a great week,

Hugs,

Tracey XO

MERRY CHRISTMAS ~DS126~

Hi there. Wow, Thursday has come around quickly this week. It's been busy, busy in our household, with hubby undergoing spinal surgery, and 2 girlies unwell. So, my card this week is a very simple one. Definitely no colic colouring as I could only set aside half an hour from start to finish.

Here it is…..


I hope you like it. there's a pocket on the front with a removable tag. You could also add a gift card too. There's plenty of room.

And here's Jen's awesome sketch….
