Reflections

Reflections

Craftie Jellie

I love trying to take photos of reflective surfaces and seeing this inspiration photo reminded me that I’d been meaning to try this as a way of putting 2 identical images on a card.

This is the card I made. Since our local pond is frozen over I tried a Winter scene for a Christmas card with frozen water reflecting. I’m not sure if I’ve captured it! I designed the card using Craft Artist, adding the Sylvia Zet Silver Fairy and inverting it to make the reflection. I coloured the image using Promarkers and then highlighted the image, water and snow using pearlescent ink.

I also used pearlescent ink dabbed round the edges of the card. I took another photo at an angle to give an idea of the effect the ink gives!

I’m still on my stash ban and doing my best to be innovative! I used the great photo from The Shabby Tearoom challenge for inspiration.


I used the colours, the sewing theme and also the vintage feel by using papers which remind me of vintage wallpaper.

The digi is from the Paper Shelter and is called the cute dressmaker. I recycled brown card packaging for my mats. I used distress ink around the edges of the card and image.

I used up some left over embroidery thread and buttons cut off clothes to add to my sentiment.

The back lacy ribbon was from Sew Sweet and was from a win on the wonderful Top Tip Tuesday. The green ribbon is from stash.

The inside of the card uses a heart from Nit Wits Threads and Thimbles.

Another Christmas card. I’ve succumbed to attempting a card with a holly theme!!

I’ve inked the edges of the card and holly/ baubles paper with distress inks (red and some green towards centre. The sentiment was a magazine freebie.

I coloured the digi with Promarkers. I added glossy accents on the nose and boots. The fluffy hat bits were stickled and then I added Polar flowersoft. The background isn’t showing too well here but I used embossing ink and clear embossing powder mixed with turquoise Perfect Pearls and then heated.

Not sure what I think of this attempt!

Not the best photo! I coloured my penguin digi with Promarkers and used flower soft to get fluffy feathers! I also used flowersoft and coloured it with glitter to make my coloured snow, colouring behind it with Promarkers and using stickles for the falling snow. The digi papers were made on computer with Craft Artist. I used my snowflake punches and a LOTV Let it snow sentiment.

I was playing around with pear green and lilac to make digi papers and for colouring my digi.

The background papers were made using my computer. The top layer and tag is textured card sanded with an emery board and the outer edge blended with green distress ink.

I used a button from stash and some white ribbon cut out from my clothes (the annnoying ones used to keep clothes on the hanger which constantly come out when you’re wearing them so I cut them off and keep the for crafting and gift tags!). I coloured the ribbon with lavender distress ink.

This is such a gorgeous digi!

I used Antique Rose distress ink blended oto the edges of the card and on the black and white flower backing paper. I then dabbed it around my image. I used two layers of lilac ribbon which are both fairly translucent.

I coloured my Silver Fairy digi with Promarkers and added some Lilac stickles. I’m leaving it without a sentiment for now so I can add one when I know who the card is going to be for!

I needed to make a girly Winter card ready for a birthday in December. When I saw the beautiful inspiration card photo for the Ribbon Reel Challenge (see end of post) I knew the pastel flower theme together with my Winter angel digi would be perfect.

 I made the flower paper with the roses wreath on the computer using Craft artist. I blended Distress ink on the paper and I used Promarkers to colour the flowers on the paper. The Winter Fairy digi was coloured with pastel Promarkers and then I used somepink, light green and white stickles on some parts of the image.

I made the background paper by stamping repeated flower patterns using purple and blue ink.

The LOTV sentiment was stamped in purple onto card which had been distressed. The frame was stamped as well and decorated with 4 pearl embellishments. I punched the corners of the frame and threaded ribbon through. I coloured the flowers on the ribbon using the dusky pink Promarker and stickles.

I made the flower embellishment. The two layers of flowers from stash were distressed and decorated with pink stickles on the bottom layer and white on the top layer. I then removed the flower head off a flower pin using cutters and added it with glossy accents.

Another card featuring my new Autumn Happiness digi. The colours are from gorgeous inspiration photos (see below).

I blended purple distress ink round the outside of the card and on the sentiment card. I ripped the textured purple paper layer. I made the leaf with orange cross stitch layer using Craft Artist on my computer and then used green distress ink blotted around the outside with a sponge.

I coloured my digi with Promarkers. I stamped my LOTV sentiment using purple ink onto my purple distressed card.
