Lady Steampunk by Julie Lavalette

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here today and I do hope you are having a lovely weekend preparing for the forthcoming Festivities. I thought it would be nice to share a card using the fantastic Steampunk dies that Cheery Lynn make. I love the versatility of these dies and have fun making them look grungy, masculine or giving them a feminine shabby look. So let me take you through the details on my card.

My Steampunk corners, cogs and butterfly wings were all heat embossed with Frantage powders, tucking accents of cogs behind my paper layers with touches of lace and cheesecloth.

My corset was mounted onto patterned paper and trimmed around the edges. I repeated this process cutting out the bust area only and glued in place on top of the corset with silicone glue to add dimension. The belt was made using the Hinges die adding a little thread. I finished my corset with lace edges and some bling then mounted onto my Butterfly.

My roses and leaves were cut in coordinating paper to compliment the roses on my paper.

2016 Fall and Winter Holiday Release Part One - Winter and Christmas with Julie Lavalette.

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 17 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE here hosting the blog and today I am showcasing our fabulous Fun Santa Set in our current mini series. This is part one of our Fall and Winter Release.

As you can see the Fun Santa Set comes with a great collection of dies and on my card I have used 5 of the dies out of this set.

Santa has been shaded with Copics. I layer his body twice for extra dimension adding some silicone glue in between my layers. His belt and head were also layered on twice. I highlighted his beard, hair and coat with a Snow Writer pen, adding on some Glamour dust for extra sparkle.

My window I layered a polka dot paper and a Reindeer behind to give the illusion of snow falling and looking outside. My curtains were made my spraying a length of paper with water to dampen, adding my concertina folds and drying with my heat gun.

My tree I added decorations, coloured with Copics and touches of Stickles. My Christmas lights I added some Glossy Accents onto the bulbs. Tucking in my Christmas parcels at the base of the tree. The bows and Christmas sentiment I added Red Tinsel Embossing Powder for lots more sparkle.

Songbirds by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Hi Everyone, it's JULIE here today. In Scotland the Songbirds are all starting to sing. It's so lovely to hear them happy now that Spring has arrived.....unless it's 5 o'clock in the morning ! So my card today was taken from inspiration of the blossom filled trees and these beautiful birds.

I started by layering up a couple of my stacker dies to form the frame of my card. I love how the inverted scallops give the appearance of a postage stamp edge.

My branches were all cut out in textured Green Cardstock and I went over the branch area with a Brown Copic Pen. I then shaded a small piece of White Cardstock with a few shades of ink and then die cut out my flowers and added a little Stickles into the centres.

My sentiment was stamped onto patterned paper.

My sweet little birds were shaded with Distress inks to look like a Robin and a Blue Tit. I added a drop of Liquid Pearls for their eyes and highlighted the details of the die with a Fine Liner pen. If you google an image of the kind of bird you want to colour on your die, I find this makes it easy to shade them.

Our Current Challenge is Mothers Day and I do hope you get a chance to join in for a chance to win a $20 shopping spree. Thanks so much for stopping by and for the wonderful comments you leave. I love reading them and appreciate them so much.
