Geeky Love

Morning folks! Judy here!

Sorry to be absent for so long :)

The last couple of weeks were the kids mid term holidays and it has taken me till Friday i.e. today,  to get back into the swing of things again :))

As it is Friday I have some lovely goodies to share with you from Quixotic Paperie.

Firstly I have used 'Geeky Love' from Make it Crafty and coloured the image with copics. What a cute couple ! I have also added a few pearls to the centre of the flowers for a little dimension. The papers are MME 'Lost and Found', which have a really lovely vintagey feel to them.

Thanks for popping by today. I would love to hear from you to know that you have popped by today !

Have a great weekend!

Time for Tea - Octopode factory

Morning all !

Hope you are all fine this lovely day :)

Just flying by to share with you today a fabby stamp set you can find at Quixotic Paperie. This one is from the Octopode Factory which has some pretty quirky and fantastical designs. This one is from the Alice in Wonderland set and is called 'Time for Tea'.

I just love the bold design of it.

Now I fell in love with THIS card I saw earlier this week on THE extremely talented Lori Boyd's blog. I loved the graphic design of it. So I have used the same sketch for my card too :)) The sketch is from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, ( SSSC138).

The papers are just scraps I have had in my drawer.. The button and chocolate brown twine are from Sew Sweet.

Thanks bunches for your time today!

Pretty in Patches - Belles and Whistles

Good morning , Judy here, and what a glorious morning it is .....the sun is beating down once again on Bonnie Scotland. You see we shout about it and get excited because it happens so rarely!

Today I would like to share with you some lovely goodies available from Quixotic Paperie. Today I have coloured 'Pretty in Patches' from Belles and Whistles. I missed this image first time around when it was sold by Sugar Nellie and am delighted now to own it!

I decided to put my copics aside and this image is done completely in Prsimacolor pencils. I have kept the layout of this card pretty clean and simple. The papers I have used are MME 'All Spice' 6 x 6 paper pad. Added a little stitching, a sparkly flourish and a cute little flower  :)

Thanks for popping by today. I have kept this short and sweet as I know we all want to be outside on this lovely Autumn day.......I just can't believe it is 1st October!!

Have a wonderful weekend,

Home Sweet Home

Morning my crafty friends. Today I want to share with you something that I was completely inspired by yesterday. And I can happily share it with you for my Quixotic Paperie DT day!

I have had this house stamp from Christy Croll for ages and have just been waiting to be inspired to use it! I was browsing through the mega talented Linda Heaven's blog and she had created a fantastic card with it for a class she was doing. I was so totally in love with it!  I was going to link you to it, but her post has disappeared :(( So thank you Linda for the wonderful inspiration. If I ever get the chance to link to her card I will because the credit for this idea goes to her.

 I used a canvas board that I got from Simply Create. I then painted the sky with blue acrylic paints and the ground with green. Whilst that was drying I stamped the Christy Croll house several times and inked with Distress Inks: Fired Brick, Frayed Burlap and Wild honey. I cut out the pieces I needed and stuck onto the canvas board. The clouds are die cuts and the sentiment is computer generated.. To create the mottled grass effect I used tissue paper scrunched up and inked it up and then dabbed it randomly to create some texture. Then there is some random stamping around the edges with different background stamps.


Thank for your visit today!

Please let me know if you have this stamp and I would love to come see what you have created with it!

have a great weekend !

Fox Gloves by Gorjuss

Morning my crafty readers!

How things??? Thanks for popping by. Today I have to share with you some gorgeous goodies from Quixotic Paperie.

I have stamped on kraft and coloured with pencils this beautiful wintry image from the Gorjuss range. It is called Fox Gloves. I really wanted to stamp onto kraft as you can really show the brilliance of the snow by colouring it with prisma pencils.  Once the image was coloured and I was happy with it, I then added tiny dabs of PVA glue wher I wanted some sparkle and covered it with some Glamour Dust.

The papers I have used are from a range from Bo Bunny that I purchased last year. I am commiting myself to not buying any more Christmas papers till I use up the mounds I have from last year and the year before that and maybe even the year before that!

I have also added a couple of Make It Crafty Chipboard Snowflakes which have been covered with Picket Fence Crackle Paint. Also, something I am delighted to have found, which is new to me...but may not be to all of you is Picket Fence Distress Stain!! Wow...I edged all of my papers with this! So quick and dries in an instant! Elaine if you are reading this....you REALLY need to stock this. It is perfect for the winter season

Thanks guys for stopping by today . I really appreciate your visit.

Have a wonderful day,

Judy

Kenny K - Queen's Cutie

Good afternoon!!

My week has just flown by without a minute to post this. So without further ado...I'd like to present 'Queen's Cutie'. Isn't she adorable! She is available in rubber at Quixotic Paperie. The image is coloured with a mixture of copics and prismas. I used some [prismas to deepen the shading in her hair . A touch of deep brown at the roots.  I also used prismas to create the blended sky background, which always looks very faint after being photographed!

I have used the most gorgeous papers from MME called Paris and Co. Gorgeous shades of brown and muted turquoise!!

This is a quick picture of the inside. A rare occasion...I don't always have time to finish these before I post on the blog. The sentiment is from Paper Makeup Stamps.

I also want to remind you that Quixotic Paperie will be on holiday for a well earned break from 27th August to 8th of September.

The Greeting Farm- Oliver

Hello everyone!

Today I am following a trend :)) Now all over blogland and Facebook groups there has been a new trend starting!! And I just had to give it a try . Talented crafters on the Make It Crafty Facebook Group have been colouring their stamped images with no black lines....and instead using evry faint grey ones.

So I had to see if it was as hard as it looked ...I do like a challenge!!

So for my Quixotic Paperie DT card this week  I stamped an image from The Greeting Farm which I have had for ages but it has not seen any love as yet!  This one is Oliver from the 'Journey Set'. He is coloured with copics and a little amount of pencil for the sky background.  I used (as recommended by Elaine) an Adrionack Ink Pad 'Lake Mist' to get the light grey lines on the image. Once coloured it creates a really nice soft, pastel effect on the image. This is a technique I would love to try again and perfect a little more .

The papers I used are Fancy Pants 'Beach Bum' 6 x6 pad. I have given them all the distressed treatment. I have also used a Tim Holtz journalling ticket and a Tim Holtz Metal Hinge Clip.

Before I go have you checked out the fabulous and quirky new stamps from Octopode??? A few have sneaked into my basket!


Thanks for popping by today!
