Fibres, ribbon and twine

Woohoo, I'm a guest designer with my old teamies at the Incy Wincy Challenge today, and have used some of my favourite things on my creation today to ease my mojo back from it's absence.

The theme is fibres, ribbons and twine, and I've used all three on my card.  I've stamped my image onto Stamping Linen and frayed the edges to really show off the linen effect.  I've also used my favourite 15mm wide satin ribbon and some matching red twine which is holding on a cute little silver jingle bell.  All my other embellishments are white to keep the design simple and not cover up any more of the pretty pink Magnolia papers than I had to.

(Red and) White Winter

The theme today at Top Tip Tuesday is Seasons, so you need to pick a season, and make something that represents that season.

I couldn't resist choosing Winter, and so I have made a winter white card.

I've printed my image on stamping linen, and coloured her in shades of red.  All of the other embellishments are white.

Sugar Nellie Baggie and Stamping Linen

It's been a while since I used my Stamping Linen, so I thought I'd dig it out again, since I love it when I use it.  Also, instead of using it on a card I used it on a fabric baggie, also decorating it with some red ribbon ('saved' from a chocolate box), some vintage style lace, some flower ribbon, and a small crocheted flower, with a button centre.

I also stamped the baggie with my lovely Stampendous Ruffled Bloom stamp which was a gift from my lovely blogpal Samantha (thanks honey).  I stamped it in bright red ink to match the colour scheme of my image and accessories.

I also used stardust gel pens on the pretty fairy to give her some sparkle.  The stamping linen is frayed at the edges to show that it is fabric not card.  The frayed edges also give it some interest.

Here's a close up of the main part of the baggie:

And here's a view of the whole baggie:

Holly and some Stamping Linen

The theme today at ABC Christmas Challenge is F for Felt or Fabric.  For my fabric I've used Stamping Linen and printed my digital image onto it in grey-scale before colouring it with my copics and fraying the edges.  It was quite difficult to get the colours to blend, and I did find that some of the colours seemed to be different to how they normally look, but they didn't bleed over the surface like the've done when I've stamped onto fabric before.  I've added some sparkle and some liquid pearls, and some snowflake themed die cuts.
