<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used the following supplies to create this project:- Chameleon Color Tone Pens and Pencils, Penny Black 30-447 Hedgy Joy (Hedgehog stamp), 30-441 Christmas Hugs (Little Bird), 51-389 Hedgy Joy Cut-Out (sentiment & hedgehog) 30-439 Gather Around (snowflake stamp), 51-372 Winter Branch die, 51-376 Stitch a Snowflake (smaller snowflake), 51-395 Snow Family Cut out (other small snowflakes), Aladine Izink Nuit, Mer du sun & Outremer Dye ink & White Pigment ink, Pinflair Iced Diamond and Snow Dust, Creative Expressions Micro Beads, white, blue and brown card and light blue patterned paper, sequins, dimensional foam and acetate, nesting circle dies, Stickles glitter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
How to </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>I die cut a circle from white card and added Izink Mer du sud ink using a blending tool, I then added the deeper shades of Nuit and Outremer to the outside edges. Water was then flicked onto the circle to create a mottled effect and then the whole image given a muted frost by going over with a light application of white ink.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">I found a two tone piece of wood veneer in my draw and thought how fun it would be to stamp and then colour with my Chameleon Color Tone Pencils.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For this project I used Penny Black's <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/full-of-glee" target="_blank">Full of Glee 40-509</a> cling floral stamp and <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/happy-times" target="_blank">Happy Times 30-422</a> for the sentiment. The flower was stamped using Memento Rich Cocoa ink and the sentiment stamped with Versafine Vintage Sepia Ink and then coloured using <a href="http://shopuk.chameleonpens.com/?utm_source=maindotcom&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=buyUK" target="_blank">Chameleon Color Tone Pencils</a> #'<span style="font-size: xx-small;">s</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8 & 20. To finish off I added some sequins and some <a href="https://mayaroad.com/collections/twine-collection/products/ko-jute-craft-string" target="_blank">Maya Road KO Jute Craft String</a>.</div>
<br />
The project was then mounted onto some brown card stock and a white insert added. I just love how well the pencils work on the two tone wood veneer, it looks so vibrant!<br />
<br />
Thanks for joining me today, will be back soon with more inspiration, hugs<br />

We don't celebrate it quite to much here in the UK as our cousins across the pond do, but I know that it can be scary to get a knock on the door late at night, so was inspired to create this card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYEEEl_5j6wQjSsrKmx8MvD46c-VnEm9vhviho4VkYWueaKhJ5kImZGkrZOErSywo4ZHJ8zCJm1o-cM6qaSNgE3F6tj66AnJq-Nz04ItMeozqTGBPnG6lVB7NAX_5x1uQyADFBIghmGAW0/s1600/IMG_2913.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1249" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYEEEl_5j6wQjSsrKmx8MvD46c-VnEm9vhviho4VkYWueaKhJ5kImZGkrZOErSywo4ZHJ8zCJm1o-cM6qaSNgE3F6tj66AnJq-Nz04ItMeozqTGBPnG6lVB7NAX_5x1uQyADFBIghmGAW0/s400/IMG_2913.jpg" width="311" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp Penny Black's <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/witchy" target="_blank">Witchy 40-553</a> stamp together with <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/spooky-spheres" target="_blank">Spooky Spheres stamp set 30-249 </a>for the spider, bat and sentiment and <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/natures-friend?pp=8" target="_blank">Nature's Friend 30-261</a> for the branches. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I drew the spiders web using my <a href="http://www.chameleonpens.com/products" target="_blank">Chameleon Detail pen</a> and coloured the witch in using <a href="http://www.chameleonpens.com/products" target="_blank">Chameleon Color Tone Pens</a>, Lavender, Spring Meadow, Nude, Fawn and Cool Grey 8, combined with <a href="http://www.chameleonpens.com/products" target="_blank">Chameleon Color Tops</a>, Grass Green, Deep Violet, Bark & Black. The background has been shaded with Tim Holtz distress inks; chipped Sapphire, Stormy Sky and Black soot, a little sparkle was added to the spiders web with a Wink of Stella pen and the spider given a shine with Clear Pico Embellisher.</div>

Thanks for visiting me today, I hope that when halloween comes later this month it is not too scary for you! Hugs Cathy x</div>

<br />
This card was created by stamping the little girl using Memento Rich Cocoa ink and Penny Black's <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/hello-autumn?pp=8" target="_blank">Hello Autumn 40-554 stamp</a> then colouring with <a href="http://www.chameleonpens.com/products" target="_blank">Chameleon Color Tone pens, pencils & Color Tops</a>, the background was coloured using Tim Holtz distress inks Fossilized Amber and Carved Pumpkin.<br />
<br />
The leaves along the top are from Penny Black's transparent set <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/tweet-tweet?pp=8" target="_blank">Tweet Tweet 30-156</a> using Tim Holtz distress inks, Fossilized Amber, Carved Pumpkin and Candid Apple.

<br />

<br />
This shaker card was created using Penny Black's <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/santas-hat" target="_blank">Santa's Hat stamp 4283K</a>, stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink and coloured with Chameleon Color Tone Pens & Pencils, Penny Black's <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/antique-frame" target="_blank">Antique Frame 51-397</a> and <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/serenity?pp=8" target="_blank">Serenity 51-158</a> dies for the frame (I trimmed the branches back- they are the only ones done this year the ones in the garden still need doing!), the sentiment is from Penny Black's <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/full-of-merriment" target="_blank">Full Of Merriment stamp set 30-444</a> and banner from <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/shades?pp=40&sort_selection=recommended" target="_blank">Shades die set 51-055</a>. The snow is pin flair Iced Diamond & Snow Dust mixed.<br />
<br />
If you would like to learn how to colour Penny Black cute Christmas stamps, I have an article coming out in Card Making & Papercraft issue 175 which goes on sale on the 3rd October.<br />

<br />
This was the result!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKeW9sxHV8TAz4P0MbpugcuGOzcgItw-ISPlqlc9bvROMciob-V0VNTvYjQ1ItaLjc2WODpE48zNclGMWN0r9lffUiwCZvQovIlhkvvRRV0WbQhhrLmBfmnHQJ2wCpFVCvEPi3jogYDhCZ/s1600/IMG_2851.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="317" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKeW9sxHV8TAz4P0MbpugcuGOzcgItw-ISPlqlc9bvROMciob-V0VNTvYjQ1ItaLjc2WODpE48zNclGMWN0r9lffUiwCZvQovIlhkvvRRV0WbQhhrLmBfmnHQJ2wCpFVCvEPi3jogYDhCZ/s400/IMG_2851.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
In addition to my Chameleon pencils I also used Penny Black's <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/flower-cascade?pp=8" target="_blank">Flower Cascade stamp 40-466</a> and <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/edge-to-edge?pp=8" target="_blank">Edge to Edge 30-164</a>, Memento London Fog and Purple Grape ink and uni-ball white pen.<br />
<br />
Still not sure that grey is something I will reach for to use as a base colour, but as they say if you don't try you will never know!<br />
<br />

<br />
I thought I would share something a bit different today, one of their brushstroke style stamps, where you colour the stamp with ink before stamping onto the paper, to create this winter robin scene.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib16mcPE53Mhf8UAJFtTTB4M2fxvbDyVq4WHquOLVxSDBzBpof9f-1IkgjZvZwZf-nAWlNwe95THGILNbf6fJkogACN0pakpqw8ifaJmnLU0lhEHFbdPw1VnXu63Ipq10QlLJwvy7hPzNo/s1600/IMG_2893.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib16mcPE53Mhf8UAJFtTTB4M2fxvbDyVq4WHquOLVxSDBzBpof9f-1IkgjZvZwZf-nAWlNwe95THGILNbf6fJkogACN0pakpqw8ifaJmnLU0lhEHFbdPw1VnXu63Ipq10QlLJwvy7hPzNo/s400/IMG_2893.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
I chose to stamp <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/snowy-perch" target="_blank">Snowy Perch 40-556</a> using Tombow markers 845, 346, 879 & 977 colouring in each element and then stamping to avoid the ink drying out too quickly.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIJd_eYhyKiIIxjFoQCZvUWS5DId8qWzatlprZr-Aeuu8dPsKibuXsPg98AvGFFD9dZBRUmHRyNZ_jn0nV8ojt96WvsclHJQUKhy4Eln0q0LGnwTYFwnAPIEJdYz4YDvJIEUP1tCoEwDGX/s1600/IMG_5435.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIJd_eYhyKiIIxjFoQCZvUWS5DId8qWzatlprZr-Aeuu8dPsKibuXsPg98AvGFFD9dZBRUmHRyNZ_jn0nV8ojt96WvsclHJQUKhy4Eln0q0LGnwTYFwnAPIEJdYz4YDvJIEUP1tCoEwDGX/s400/IMG_5435.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
I then used a Versamark pen to colour in areas where I wanted snow and sprinkled with Sparkle Snow WOW embossing powder and heat set, then I used a damp brush to spread the ink colours to give a base to work on.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC92l6fbyzD-6jKkkdkO-afRlSYvsIpSy2SGKSYUHylBozZ7IEF2ECeSeEv2yfUt2rJICPpxHZ5E03xKl0iIMDktHGdUXughuij10qgT3d8PUHRIsyo8-Hvzr40d08ZPTDkJAoJAErP4rD/s1600/IMG_5436.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC92l6fbyzD-6jKkkdkO-afRlSYvsIpSy2SGKSYUHylBozZ7IEF2ECeSeEv2yfUt2rJICPpxHZ5E03xKl0iIMDktHGdUXughuij10qgT3d8PUHRIsyo8-Hvzr40d08ZPTDkJAoJAErP4rD/s400/IMG_5436.jpg" width="341" /></a><br />
<br />
I then mixed colours on an acrylic block and added more depth to the image using Tombow markers 885, 905, 947, 899, 992, 098, 346, 665, N15 & 533.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-ZuD-5izhfGwQNmpX4tN2_uuV4nFH84edd6M68XjApYXd-LNOWWdCzclqRZ-9e-XyDHo-JAFP0Dlq6OV_pb_mXGafCRa7BK6HOaa8rLlNHnjkD0gs9HPV5uFlT8vME8DQLNmCJLo2i2pK/s1600/IMG_5437.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-ZuD-5izhfGwQNmpX4tN2_uuV4nFH84edd6M68XjApYXd-LNOWWdCzclqRZ-9e-XyDHo-JAFP0Dlq6OV_pb_mXGafCRa7BK6HOaa8rLlNHnjkD0gs9HPV5uFlT8vME8DQLNmCJLo2i2pK/s320/IMG_5437.jpg" width="296" /></a><br />
<br />
The sentiment from <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/a-festive-season" target="_blank">A Festive Season 30-442 </a>was then stamped into the right corner using Versafine Onyx Black ink, and a frame cut from <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/snow%EF%AC%82ake-stitch-frames" target="_blank">Snowflake Stitch Frames 51-375</a>, the image was mounted onto a 6" square card blank and the frame added on top with foam pads, the dots in the frame were then enhanced with Diamond Stickles to finish.<br />
<br />

No more nagging husband complaining as I pop the lids on and off my pen whilst he is engrossed in his latest TV soap! The pencils are so neat in their little box, there are 25 pencils in the set but that gives me 50 colours and it is the perfect size to be by my side!<br />
<br />
Last night I created these two little cuties....<br />

Using the Go Press and Foil With Other Company DiesHi everyone, I know it is a LONG, LONG, LONG time since I last posted, but I have been super busy with Chameleon and all the wonderful new products, not to mention hosting a few workshops!<br />
<br />
I am super excited to share a new product with you all today, the Go Press and Foil Machine by Couture Creations, this is VERY different to other foiling machines as it allows you to foil your existing dies and embossing folders! There are lots of videos online that show all the ways you can use this machine, but I wanted to show you a twist on the techniques currently shown!<br />
<br />
I was able to foil this card using the non cutting side of my Penny Black Doily Trio Die 51-227.<br />

Making Tips:-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>To create the background border of grass and flowers I placed the top cutting mat only partially over the die so that it would only cut out the grass.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>Add an old coin to the back of the slider mechanism to make it move easier.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>To get the dog to go into the kennel raise one side of the kennel up on dimensional foam pads.</li>
</ul>
<div>
You can see how this card works with this short video.<br />

I love the cool patterns you can get and thought this colour scheme would make a great card for guys!<br />

Tip: When wanting to raise a die cut sentiment off the page, rather than cut several words and sticking together to gain height, cut the word from funky foam and glue to the sentiment to get the depth required.</div>
