A few cards made for Birthdays and a lot of practise

Here are a few new cards I have made recently.  Some are for birthdays and some are just for practise.

 This is a Pen Holder for the Silhouette Sketch pens.  Keeps them nice and tidy and easy to find.

I made these 6x6" card boxes for those lovely embellished cards.

This is a display box for 6x6 cards in cellophane.  It keeps them neat and tidy in the shop where I sell them.

 I am starting to use some flowers and embellishments on my cards.  This is why I needed a box for cards, I didn't want these getting crushed if they are to be mailed.

 This card was a GDT card for Slinky Tarts Digi Stamps.

I asked my daughter is she had a suggestion for a birthday card for her partner.  She said anything funny.  He is so good with the kids and the house that I thought this very apt.

 I have a passion for Zentagle lately, I am trying to finish this one off in an A4 size for a frame.

Colouring with Pencils - With Alyce Keegan at Kit and Clowder

I seem to have gained a thirst for learning Art.  I have now completed the Colouring with Pencils Class over at Kit and Clowder and so happy with the results.  As usual with Alyce Keegans classes at Kit and Clowder, they were easy to follow lessons that gave a wealth of information.  Here are the results.

Slinky Tarts GDT spot for March.

Slinky Tarts are a unique design of Digital Stamps.  As you can see they are very "Smexie".  Pop on over to their website and take a look at something different.

This is my first post as Guest Designer for the month of March.  Another one to come this month.

Go on over to Slinky Tarts and have a look at some of their beautiful Smexies.

 This is the second and last Guest Desinger card for Slinky Tarts.  This is "Blood Soup"

This one isn't on a card yet, but will be very soon.  She is "Cut the Crap"

 "We like it Dirty"

 Another Smexie for Slinky Tarts Digi's is this beautiful "Princess Lleanna"

Colouring Clothing Class with Alyce Keegan

I have now completed the Clothing Technique Class.  Just waiting on Graduation Certificate.

Onto Pencils and Watercolours next.
It has arrived.

 

This post is to cover my progress with the Clothing Class with Alyce Keegan at Kit and Clowder.

I have completed the Skin and Hair Class and the All About Animals Class. There is a seperate post for these classes.  The lessons are very easy to follow and have video tutorial to guide you as well as written guides.  But the class covers so much more.  It includes blending techniques and light source theory and practise.

 Well, so much to update this time.  The classes just get better and better.  So much so I have purchased the materials for the Distress Ink Class and the soon to be launched "Pencils Class".  But for now, here is some progress shots.

I have now finished the "Clothing Class" by Alyce Keegan at Kit and Clowder.  Here are my final lessons.  See what can be learned.  This class was very extensive in its coverage of technique.

 Another Paper Piecing image.  I really enjoy this technique, but then I enjoyed all of them.

 Just a few extra images to show that I had learned the subjects. This one demostrates Sheer Fabric and Irridescent Fabric

 This was a lesson on creating pattern on fabric.
