Catitudes Diorama

Morning!! Loads going on on Hochanda today!! The Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens are back - and so is the fabulous Catitudes CD featuring the art work of the fabulous Marilyn Robertson.

This diorama card is made using the papers and digital elements from CD2. I love the black and yellow together!!

Make sure to tune in to see Debbie at 8am, 10am and 3pm to catch all the offers on the CD, dies, stamps and embossing folders!

Sparkling Flowers

Today's offereing is an 8x8 card that uses a Just Inklined digi called "Open Rose Vase". The sentiment is from Crafter's Inspiration 6, stamped with Onyx Black Versafine.

I used Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens to colour the image:

Roses: Red Berry, Crystal Clear, Spun Gold 

Leaves: Black, Holly Green, Crystal Clear

Vase: Black, Sterling, Crystal Clear 

The embossed background was created using an Embossalicious 8x8 folder called Rose Garden.

Spectrum Noir AquaBlends

Fiona was on Hochanda yesterday with the gorgeous Spectrum Noir AquaBlends. This is using Sheena Douglass' Magnolia Blossom on Crafter's Companion Watercolour Card.

The pencils I used were :

Flower: Florals - Elderberry

Leaves: Naturals - Cypress, Oregano

Stem: Essentials - Black Umber 

I made the image into a circular easel card using Crafter's Companion Matt Black card, with some pink from my stash.

Big Box Card

Morning!! I have another Catitudes project today! This one is a large pop up box card - made from an A3 sheet of double sided Centura Pearl Fresh White card. 

The papers are from the 8x8 paper pack, with the images, sentiment and embellishments from both of the CDs. I embossed some matching card with the Ornate Fans folder, and die cut the Cat Silhouette, the Boutique sign and the fans from the Oriental Additions.

A bit of Catittudes!

I loved working on the launch of the Catitudes range. It has such fun images and gorgeous colours! And even better, all the elements available in digital format for playing around with!

And that's what I did with this little boxed set of cards.

Each card is roughly 4x4, and was created entirely digitally (I use Publisher) then printed directly onto Sheena White Stamping card!!

I just loved playing around with the images and background papers, layering and moving around!! I absolutely love physical papercrafting - but I do rather enjoy doing this kind of thing now and again!

Teddy Bear!

Morning! More colouring today! This time with the Spectrum Noir Illustrator pens. The image is from Just Inklined, and is called Baby Boys Clothes. However, you can see that I chose to use pinks and purples to colour it in.

The colours I used are: 

Teddy: Tints - Blossom, Moonlight, Tones - Pink Lace, Vintage Pink, Portrait - Ivory

Blankets: Tints - Vanilla, Moonlight,
Blossom, Tones - Pink Lace, Vintage Pink, Wisteria, Old Lavender, Portrait - Ivory
Booties: Tones - Wisteria, Old Lavender, Tints - Lavender, Vanilla, Moonlight,
Portrait - Ivory

The sentiment stamp is from Crafter’s Inspiration 6, the patterned papers from an old Kanban A4 pad, and I decorated with pearls.

A little watercolour....

Something totally different today! A circular tent fold card I made using the Spectrum Aqua pens and Sheena's Passion Flower stamp from the "A Little Bit Sketchy" range.

I love the Spectrum Aqua pens as you can scribble them on a tile, spritz them, and use them for backgrounds, as well as using them directly on the card. That's how I created the background for the card.

I did attempt the Bokeh effect with Pebeo White Gesso too - but it was rather a feeble attempt and really doesn't show up.

The main colours I used were from the Nature set- Sea Green and Peacock Blue. I also used Essentials Black and Spice for centres and Florals Jasmine and Orchid for centres.
