Crafters Companion - Rachelle Anne Miller

Hi peeps

Another quick sneaky peak for today , only 3 hours to go before kick off and our lovely Dawn  brings you the new Crafters Companion Rachelle Anne Miller Launch featuring the fabulous 'Animal Adventures' and 'Kids at play' CD roms

Here's a couple more samples to check out, hope you like them.


 The first Card features the owls and is from the 'Animal Adventures' stamp sets and have been coloured with my Spectrum Noirs and Pro markers , couldn't resist adding the goggley eyes to add an element of fun!!

This card has been created with the stamps again this time from the 'kids at play' range and coloured with my Speccies and pro markers and mount onto a circular card blank made from Lemon Centura pearl card  using the Spellbinders Grand Nestibilities Scallop dies and tonic's verso dies  and decorated with paper flowers and paper candies.

 The sentiment is also from the stamps set.  Had to colour the puppy grey to match my little Ruby!!

The next project is a cute little  kiddie tissue box, there's nothing worse than a child with a cold and a snotty nose but hopefully they will want a tissue from this box, I've made it bright and jolly to cheer up the patient may they be young or old.



Each side sports a different animal from the chilly penguin to the happy ducks.

The whole box was constructed using Lemon Pastel Centura Pearl card, and decorated with paper flowers , gems and lace and the hole at the top was cut with a circle die and then decorated with Crafters Companion Die'sire Doilie Circles die cuts

If you would like instructions on how to make a tissue box there are many tutoirals on the web and youtube I found this one very useful How to make a Tissue box

Thanks for poppin by xx
