Just Us Girls - Leap Day with Video

Hello Everyone!

Well 'Bold Angel' is back in charge on Day 3 of "Pamellia's Schizophrenic Week of Mojo"!! This is my last week as a guest designer over at Just Us Girls. It's been a fun month and I am so thankful to the team for inviting me join in with them! For my last challenge with them, it's "PHOTO WEEK" and you can find the inspiration photo just below my card. I do hope you join in the fun!

I have made a video for this card, which you can find further down the page. And by popular request, I have also finally did a flower tutorial video as well.




I was most inspired by the little calendar page, so I decided to make a card to celebrate Leap Year / Leap Day. I was also inspired by the bright green and even the flourishes in the background. The touches of purple were just for me! tee hee








Alright, double whammy today - with not one, but two videos for your viewing pleasure! lol. I hope you enjoy both the card tutorial and the flower tutorial! Thanks for your support everyone and keep the requests coming, I promise to get around to everything eventually!






UPDATE
My card won an award in the following wonderful challenges


***

One of my favourite things to take photos of is how the street lamps cast amazing colours when mixed with the colours in the sunset. It's just so beautiful and even looks fake sometime to see a big orange or green branch sticking out over the footpath.



This shot was so much prettier in real life. The tunnel was green, the footpath on the other side was bright blue from the sky, and the sky on the horizon was pink from the sunset. 





I had a new visitor the other day. He is really tiny and very skittish. He must be brand new to the world because you can see he still has some baby fur on his head and back. I've never seen one quite this colour before. He reminds me of a milk chocolate bar, so I have named him Chocolate Charlie. I do hope to see him again soon.


That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. I read and appreciate every single one! If you have any questions, please let me know.

  12. deleted my question meant to ask if a candle flame would work as well.xx

    1. I think a candle would work just fine Annie. It may be easier to pass the petal through the flame of the candle, leaving the candle stationery, instead of passing the candle under the petal...that way the wax isn't dripping all over the place. hugs :)

  29. Hi Pamellia
    Delicious colour combo on this divine card and the florals are amazing.
    Terrific video. As I said last time, had fun with a heat tool but I'll have the fire brigade on standby with a lighter lol! Mind you, I manage to seal the ends of my bows with a lighter without burning the house down yet!
    Welcome to the brood Chocolate Charlie.

  37. Giggling... I always enjoy the "Tah-Dah!" At the end!! So glad the bold angel chose these spring colors and taught me to use hot glue in MS molds! Want to try that for sure. Did you find the molds near the MS punches at Michaels? I also did not realize the carried the assorted colors of beadies! So beautiful, Pamellia. Thanks for the tutorials and videos. XO

    1. Hi Donna. Unfortunately those molds aren't available at Michaels any more, for some reason they stopped carrying the whole line. The microbeads are from two different collections, one Martha Stewart and one Recollections. I did buy those at Michaels quite a while ago. Thanks for your sweet comments Donna. hugs :)

  38. This card just looks like Spring! The videos are great, thank you. I, too, like the "ta dah" at the end. Also, am wondering how you keep from burning your fingers and going "Ow! Ow! Ow!" when attaching the petals with the glue gun. A beautiful card and flowers!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Gorgeous, Gorgeous, GORGEOUS colors and amazing flowers! I love that bold Twisted Citron background and those microbeads are just the perfect touch! I can't wait to see the videos! I'm still behind on these with so little time to spend in front of the computer these days. But that is for me to look forward to! I do like your bold angel side! Hugs!

  40. Pamellia, you are a crafty genius! This is spectacular! The bold colors are stunning together and my heart is so happy as I lose myself in this creation. The ribbon flowers paired with the bow must be one of my favorite combinations ever... they're so ruffly, soft, and simply exquisite. I LOVE how you even carried over the microbeads inside them... that is amazing. YOU are such a talented cookie. Thank you for sharing your videos. I will be watching them shortly. I also love the crackle paste work. I love everything from your crafty heart. :o) Gorgeous creation, my friend! Lots of hugs for you and your fluffy friends. :o)

    Hugs and blessings,
    Karen

  41. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - so in love with the GORGEOUS green on this card Pamellia. Against the white and the purple - it just looks LUSCIOUS... well - the entire card is SPECTACULAR. I really believe this is one of my favorites of yours.

    TWO tutorial videos - my gracious - what a thrill. Thank you so much. You are such a super teacher. Not to mention how easy they are to watch - super editor too! Well, hey = in my book your a just plain SUPER at everything.

    And Chocolate Charlie is so handsome. He looks more like our squirrels but he is still prettier. Love the colors on his tummy. Loved your photos too. I would be scared walking through that tunnel - whew. Happy Sunday. XX j

  72. Whoa, I really love the purple and green, it looks incredible, so vibrant and colours pick out so much detail. More fabulous flowers and your mirco beads look so organic, almost as if they are alive and flowing over your card.

    I have not had time to watch the videos yet, I am saving them for the morning when I will not be disturbed. Such a treat.
