Today I thought of you and and wanted you to know (by Dawn Lotharius)

I just fell in love with this dreamy image when Ignacio from NiceCrane Designssent me the link to dowmload.

Doesn't she look like she is just dreaming while she is standing in a field- the wind is swirling around her?

I really loved coloring her with my Copic markers- and played around with the outlining.


And lot of stunning previous works by my DT:

AND ALL OVER WHAT ABOUT WORKING
 WITH PETER RABBIT PICTS?

You know I love Peter Rabbit Characters,,,so I asked to my Dt to work with these adroablen ones,,,,and all over ,I have designed some new packs for you, I hope you enjoy them...

First of all is the amazing work by Alison Bomber  and her incredible Peter Rabbit ' s Triptych, directly from her blog:

I'm sharing a Design Team piece today, a triptych inspired by the wonderful images from Nicecrane Designs, and since it's also inspired by a story I grew up on, happily it should fit right in with Simon Says Stamp and 
Show's new challenge, Ever After.  The timing of that challenge coming out particularly pleases me, since when I made the frames weeks ago I said at the time that they felt like Fairy Tale frames to me... I just didn't know what went inside them at that point!

This triptych uses images from the Always Peter Rabbit set which you can findhere.  I've only used three of them, but the set includes eight beautiful reproductions from The Tale of Peter Rabbit.  Or you can go for the Peter Rabbit Save Pack, which gets you lots more pictures for your money.

Sadly, you won't be able to purchase the Beatrix Potter images if you are in the UK because of copyright issues, but everyone else in the world is allowed to.





But there are thousands of other gorgeous images available at Nicecrane, so you'll be sure to find something lovely to play with.I'm a huge Beatrix Potter fan.  I grew up on the Tales, particularly loving the illustrations.  And if you've never seen the enchanting film of the Royal Ballet version of the tales, with extraordinary masks and costumes to die for, then I can only suggest that you hunt it down immediately!  I've found you a little taster to tempt you.




I only found out much later that she was also a respected naturalist, gaining recognition from the scientific establishment for her work on fungi - not only for her mycological illustrations but also her research into how fungi reproduce (no mean feat for a 'mere' woman in the 19th century).

Some of you may remember these Cabinet die frames from my workdesk a few WOYWWs ago...  They've been hanging around ever since, waiting for the right project to form around them. 







The colours in these illustrations seemed to be the perfect fit - though looking at them next to the Nicecrane preview, it seems my printer may have been having a slightly green day!

The frames first had a layer of Ferro texture paint, roughly applied, and then coats of paint and ink and Treasure Gold.  I used one of the small stamps from Tim Holtz's Nature's Elements set to add some ivy/mossy texture over all my other layers.  I'm quite pleased with the stony look of them.

I cut another three large Cabinet cards out of chipboard and gave them a coat of acrylic paint, sand and white mixed together straight onto the chipboard. 

I used one of the lovely grasses from the same stamp set to add some detail to these panels, stamping in Coffee and Sepia Archival.

On the reverse, I stamped some woodgrain using one of the brilliant Kaisercraft stamps, tapping the same two Archival inks onto the stamp so that the colour varies across the panels, and blended on some Gathered Twigs DI for a more rustic look.

I cut two hinges from the Hardware Findings die out of Grungeboard, and inked them up with a mixture of Gathered Twigs and Vintage Photo inks and stains.


The beauty of Grungeboard is that it is flexible and mouldable, making it perfect for doing duty where there's going to be movement involved.

I used Pesto alcohol ink to colour a few of the Idea-ology fasteners and attached the hinges. 

I even remembered to make sure that the attachers would be coming through behind the illustrations, so that they wouldn't be showing on the other side!  And, of course, that had to be done before sticking down the images.

And then I began to assemble my triptych. 

There are twiggy hearts and mulberry paper flowers, and some more of my favourite wooden flourishes from Crafty Emblies. 

It took some juggling to arrange them all to my satisfaction, but eventually I got out the Glossy Accents and glued everything in place.

The illustrations are mounted on padded tape, both to give them extra prominence and to keep them clear of the ends of the attachers which are coming through from behind.

I deliberately selected images where the rabbits aren't dressed in clothing, because I wanted to stick to the natural colour palette, but I know I'll be coming back to this set for another go - it's so lovely to work with. 

And Nicecrane Designs also has several fabulous Beatrix Potter clipart sets, where you get a whole variety of characters from the Tales to play with - you may well see some of those soon too!

Since they're digital sets, you get them immediately, so you could use them to join in a few of the challenges I'm entering with this project - lots of furry themes have fortuitously all bobbed up this week! 

For now, thank you so much for your company - so much appreciated - and I hope to see you again soon, either here or elsewhere in Craftyblogland.

Amazing Save Packs & Babies

Wowww ladies,,, Elisabeth from Scrappingno did this seetie and so amazing card working with my Bessie Gutmann Save Pack. It is a must- have for any crafters.

Tobias cute to be baptized, and the beautiful design from Nice Crane designs fit so wonderfully well with this card and the nice boy!

I always find designs I can use from Nicerane Designs, and I really fell for these sheets, labeled Bessie Gutman pack. The card is great in blue, with different flowers, twine, gold ornaments and torn edges.

Inside, I used it again, as semicircle.

I hope Tobias will like it when he gets a little bigger ;)

Happy scrapping.

I must tell you  Astridchristine Maclean is now on my DT.....woww,woww, and she did this absolutely Gorgeus,,,,,,Vintage Book working with my Romantic Valentine Collections

Hello everyone and welcome (for the second time today...). It is not often you'll find me posting twice in one day, but I have some exciting news to share and also a little project to show.

Some of you regulars here have heard me mention Nicecrane Designs a few times in the last few days. Well, the lovely Ignacio has invited me to become part of his Design Team, and so I want to share with you a little project I just finished using some of his gorgeous images. The images I have used for this little book are from the Romantic Valentine Collection 1 & 2.  I also used loads of different stamps (I am on a bit of a mission to use more of my stamps, specially those that have been gathering dust for a long time. This means that in many cases

The basic booklet was made out of 1 sheet of 12 x 12 scrapbook paper. It is the so called Wbooklet. Tim Holtz has a tutorial on his blog and reminded everyone two days ago. If you click on his name you'll go straight there. It's quick easy and a lot of fun. The booklet has 6 pages and three pockets. I'm going to let the photos tell their own story (beware there are quite a few of them....☺)

This is the first double page. The image on the right is from Nicecrane, the left page is made up of collaged elements from the Prima Romance Novel 6 x 6 collection. Here are a couple of close ups

Next double page, again the right side is a Nicecrane image, the left side was stamped and collaged over the paper I used to make the booklet.

And here the left and right side separately:

For the next double page, both sides were stamped and collaged with a few little images from the Romance Novel collection. The top hat was a stamp I found in Michael's Dollar Bin a couple of years ago when visiting the States.

And here is the last double page:

Ç

Same story, Nicecrane image on the right and collage and stamping on both pages.

I just realized I forgot to photograph one of the double pages, - how stupid is that? Unfortunately my battery is flat, so this will have to do. Below are the tags that fit inside still. They were all collaged and stamped with bits and pieces from my stash. The stamps I used here are from Artistic Outpost and Kaisercraft.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this little project and I'll leave you with a photo of the booklet with the tags inside. Thank you for visiting and see you next time.
