Many "Blessings" to you all at Christmas

Time has flown by and Christmas has been and gone and now we have the New Year celebrations to look forward to ... I do love watching or even recording (as we are going out) the Jules Holland Show. Not sure why, but this programme has begun to signify the end of one year and the beginning of the new. We all have our own little traditions I suppose. Sadly no snow over Christmas and I think one year it would be wonderful to open the curtains on Christmas Day to see a white glistening carpet but until then, I can always tune in to the countless films on TV and immerse myself.

Well whilst I'm still on Christmas, here is a card I made using Winnie Winterland from Polka Doodles combined with the wonderful new dies that Nikky has designed.

I have printed the imaged and then framed Winnie using the Ribbon/Gift frames & Corners die. This in turn has been mounted on to black card to make her really stand out.Next matting with paper from the Winnie Winterland collection.


Finally I used the large corner die, slipping it behind the last layer to give the appearance of a decorative larger panel ... if that makes sense ... !


The flowers are from the Bubbleicious Frames die set, cut in complimentary card with leaves cut out from the backing paper. Sentiment is also from the same collection.

Rather belatedly ... MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all,

Lou

Underwater Artist Art Journal Page using Marlene's World Collection from Studio Light

I treated myself a long while ago to the fabulous Marlene's World Collection from Studio Light and sadly have to report that it has stayed hidden in a folder since then. Finally, I had some precious "me time" and decided to get the collection and have a play around with a few of the stamps plus collage/paper piece s. It was the sentiment that really "sang to me" 😍 but not like a Sea Siren does ...! A full "how I did it" is below & also a full list of supplies at the bottom of the post.

Birthday Dah-ling ... Yar !

It's a new challenge over at The Pencil Case and we were very lucky to be given a sponsor image to use and I have coloured Big Eye Sassy Girl, Bianca ... I have obviously used my wonderful Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor Pencils. I printed the image on to water colour paper which has given a real textured feel to both my colouring and also the image itself. The papers I have used are from Polka Doodles Winnie in Wonderland collection and I picked these because I loved the floral embellishments built in to the paper. I have cut around these blooms and placed my image behind. I thought that this gave the impression that she was standing in amongst the flowers ...! Colours used: Skin: light flesh, pink madder lake, light carmine Hair: dark sepia, van dyck brown, raw umber & gold ochre Dress: moss green, olive green, light violet, dark violet, aquamarine & black Socks: black, light violet & dark violet Shadow: silver grey, medium grey & dark grey Simpl

Learning to photograph my craft projects featuring Text(ures) stamps by Lou Collins

Do you know what I find the hardest about blogging and sharing on social media? Taking clear, good photographs. It really is a daily struggle & some days, the struggle can be monumental when doing photography editing.   Recently I’ve been following a few wonderful artists & a few companies, who above being creative, also share their hints and tips about how to get the best shots to show case the project you may have spent hours making.   My subject for this post is the card below …
