Leann Chivers Craft Inspirations

I’ve updated this post with the image mounted on a dark card base, as I could not get rid of the feeling that something was not quite right!  so here we are – its over to you Light Card base or Dark card base (poll at the bottom for your votes )

Purple Haze

Can you tell that I love these create a scene stamps?  This one has been stamped in Dusty Concord Distress Ink, then the colour “pulled through” with a damp brush, layerd on some matching card stock and finally some glitter highlights and a cute bow……. Can’t help thinking something not quite right though!  I think I should have used a cark card base instead of white…………… there’s always tomorrow night to try that!  Thanks for looking

Glitter highlights

…..also bought this Sheena Douglass theme plate at the NEC, and I love it…. Wrestled for a while trying to get a good impression, but think it was worth the wait!, not for the feint hearted, it takes a while to paint, but was very therapeutic… this is going to be for MIL on Mothers Day.  Background stamped and coloured with Lyra’s, front foreground stamped coloured and decoupaged over the background.  Simply matted onto some gold mirri and onto the base card, the main design is so detailed I did not think it needed anything else!………..  apologies for the photo quality, its late, my son is in bed and I am trying to keep the noise down! …………..

Hi all

Paid a very impromptu visit to the NEC yesterday, with a good friend who drove me …  Bought some lovely bits and bobs, and having a good old play today.  Made these two cards with the lovely new set of stamps Daisy and Dandelion – this is Daisy, I’ll be making a Dandelion card soon.  The papers are from the co-ordinating paper pad, which is an absolute bargain at £2.99 for 30 sheets of paper (30 different co-ordinating designs).  The images are coloured with Lyra’s (another purchase from yesterday!)  The shapes that Daisy is sitting on have been cut with the Cricut.  Thanks for stopping by
