Alan's Amazing Canvas and Claire's Stunning Samples.

Good Morning Splodgers,

How are you all this lovely Bank Holiday Monday? I hope you have something nice planned today.

THANK YOU to everybody who bought masks from the show and also all the Splodgers who left lovely comments on the SplodgeAway Blog GiveAway. SplodgeAway HQ has been going crazy and we have had to cut so many 'Mask of Many Faces'.

Also a BIG Thank you to our new SplodgeAway Queen 'Hazel' you were great on the T.V and your demonstrations were beautiful.

Today we are showcasing 2 amazing DT members samples from Friday, they are great!

Alan can definitely say his samples were shown!!! These canvas creations are out of this world!!

Alan used the 'Mask of Many Faces' and the 'Clockwork' Border to create this canvas.

Alan has used 3 SplodgeAway Masks to create another stunning canvas. Alan has used the 'Padlocked Heart Border', 'Iron Fence Border' and an older SplodgeAway Mask...'Cog Heart'.

You would be daft not to....get yourselves over to Alan's blog where he has some amazing tutorials....find it here.

 Claire also made some stunning samples. Claire is a new member of the team and we were so excited when we seen these samples.

I love this card using the 'Girly Shoe Border'. It is so feminite. I also think it looks really effective on the brown kraft card.

The above cards are created using the 'Clockwork Border' and the famous 'Mask of Many Faces'. The Faces Masks have been so popular!!



I love this card too, I think the sky is so atmospheric. Claire has used the Midnight City Border to create this card.

Another cute card.. Claire has used the 'Linked Butterfly Border' to create this beautiful card.

To see more of Claire's amazing projects pop along to her blog.

BIG Thank you to Claire and Alan for your support with the show and amazing samples.

Tom and I are so proud of the design team they are all just SPLODGETASTIC!!

Don't forget you can buy all of the masks straight from http://www.splodgeaway.co.uk/

I'm off now to buy more vegetable plants and then try and hide them from Tom, most people do this with clothes and craft goodies, I do it with plants, lol!

Double the Trouble Today....

Good Morning Everybody,

Well the weather is still miserable but it is only 2 days until Tom and Hazel appear on Create and Craft at 11am and 6pm. Check back tomorrow for some sneak peeks AND

Have you left a comment on the SplodgeAway Blog GiveAway? Tom gave me some amazing products including a 12x12" SplodgeAway Mat, loads of StenSkapes and even a pack of Elegance Card.

Today is the final day of our SplodgeAway Elegance High Res Card and to finish it off we have 2 amazing DT members giving us their review of the card.

Kathleen has produced this stunning card and I love the monochrome colours with the orange tone.

This is what Kathleen had to say on the card:

I loved using the elegance card, it is so smooth and the stamped images came out sharp and clear every time. I used my alcohol pens and they glided over the paper, blending easily and no bleed... I used distress inks, a Brayer and my SplodgeAway Mat to colour the card on the treasure project, the little pirate boy was also stamped and decoupaged.... A perfect all round card which has become my new favourite...:-)

Check out Kathleen's blog for more inspiration.

Shell who is our colouring guru made 2 projects using the SplodgeAway Elegance High Res Card.

Hi Shell here, I finally got my hands on some of the Elegance High Res card and all I can say is WOW.  Before I say what I though of the card I just wanted to say I'm not an expert on colouring but I do know what I like so with that said I can honestly say this cardstock is one of the better ones out there, it's 300gsm and is super smooth so it's perfect for all your alcohol marker pens, it even went through my printer so I could use my digi's.

 I like to layer my colours  to get the right amount of shading I want and I had no bleeding even with my reds, the image I coloured in red I used 4 different pens and still no bleeding.

 Value for money is also important to me and at £4.99 for 25 sheets it's just right. For my card I have used copics for the hair and promarkers for the rest of the image. The image if from Saturated Canary, I used a SplodgeAway mask called Dirty Skratchy for the background all the die cuts have been cut on my cameo..

Thanks for stopping by today and I would say get some of this card and try it for yourself you won't be disappointed.

Thank you to Shell and Kathleen for your amazing samples.

Check out the blog tomorrow for some sneak peeks of the masks going on the show on Friday :-)

Yvonne

Hello Splodgy Splodgers,

How are you today? Only 3 days until Tom appears back on our screens, a little sneaky tip, the night before the show Create and Craft often add the new products onto their website and a certain kit maybe re-appearing??

Today we have a lovely project from Yvonne using the SplodgeAway High Res Elegance A4 card. I love this card as Dahlias are my favourite plants.

 
Using the Vine Layout mask I embossed this onto the Elegance High Res paper.  Leaving the mask in place I blended Vintage Photo and Squeezed Lemonade Distress inks (quite lightly) onto the background.  Then I removed the mask and coloured the vine pattern with Panpastels.  For a little interest I stamped the Dahlia stamp onto the background with Momento London Fog.

Following this I stamped the Dahlia stamp three times also on to the Elegance paper.  Using Promarkers (Tulip Yellow, Dusky Rose and antique Pink) I coloured and blended the flowers.  These were then cut out and attached to the background with foam pads for dimension.

I found the Elegance card very smooth and a joy to use with Promarkers.

This is the 8"x8" SplodgeAway Vine Layout Mask that Yvonne used on the project alongside the Elegance Card.

If you enjoyed looking at Yvonne's samples why not pop over to her blog, you won't be disappointed!

Check back tomorrow to see Kathleen's and Shell's amazing projects,

Thank you for taking the time to look at the blog,

Susan xx
