Another x-form! This time for Sam. Isn’t the orange a lovely, rich colour? The orange is so J-U-I-C-Y! I’m happy to give this one away – if you want it, drop me a line. Can give it as AI (CS5), SVG, GSD or Studio.

Square x-form

May 19th, 2012
A bit of fun with the ABR brush I posted a pic of the other day. I used it to make some papers from. Also did a nice green chicken in PS and made a background from that image, too. Printed off the papers and made my favourite jubblies with them. Just thought I’d show you! I love jubblies! The papers look cute and the jubbly suits them well. Love ‘em. Bobby Dazzlers!
Butterfly Extravaganza
May 19th, 2012
I made this quickly using a dingbat font (I think it’s WW Fantasy Fairy font) look closely and you’ll see the fairies in the middle. They’re slightly modified in that I had to cut off the longest stars or the middle wouldn’t have been left clear.
Butterflies are welded around the outside and topped with swathes of them – they’re on every side. It’s frothy, man! There’s no angle that I’ve managed to get a great shot though – it looks so busy in the pics but IRL it’s just beautiful. It’s cut from silver Conqueror but, sadly, the photograph doesn’t pick up the sheen and subtle ‘glitter’ in the paper stock.
I haven’t finished with these X-forms yet. It’s lovely they’re so easy, they fold flat and yet can be dressed up like proper little glamour-pusses! Am in love with them, for now!
Now it looks extra special!

There we go. I did a bit on this last night and finished this morning.
Very similar to the round x-form posted yesterday except I wasn’t happy that I hadn’t realised that aligning the butterfly wing tips to the bottom of the circle would have made a more stable structure – would have given the form ‘feet’ . This revised (totally redone actually but like anything, when you’ve done it once you know what to do next time) has welded flowers and butterflies topped with more butterflies as before but is extra special with the flourishy curls and swirls around it. It folds flat for popping into an envelope for posting so that side of things is covered, too!
I cut this with the Cougar, btw – starting to get a bit more confident with the machine now. Still experimenting with embossing so will show results when I’ve done something worth showing! Anyhoo, going to make a few more of these gorgeous pieces – they look fabulous. And assembly is so easy. Will be selling as soon as I’ve converted from Illustrator into the usual suspects! For now, must dash – got a train to catch.
And here comes the sun, too!

Butterflies all around
May 16th, 2012
***Updated May 17th Never chuck baby out with the bath water. Here is the original file in a circle with the lower butterflies resited. Simple matter of unlinking the weld nodes, moving the butterflies down to align with the bottom of the card and rewelding. Also added in a couple more flowery shaped curly wurly shapes that suit it nicely. Made it with the CR this time as I wanted stiffer card to cut it from and need the Detail Blade Holder for the Cougar so will have to get that ordered! *******

It turned out I was feeling a bit of misery guts having said goodbye to my visitors. They came back from Belfast on the Sunday and went home Monday afternoon. After nearly a whole month of ‘residents’ the house seemed gloomy and empty to come back to. Not exactly Nosferatu gloomy – dark shadows stretching up the stairwell with hands outstretched and claws ready to rip out my heart – but not far off (only joking – I’m NEVER that dark and miserable!). Ner, a feeling more akin to damp wellies, if you know what I mean. And this despite Mr Tree who is always very up – like his blood group he’s always B positive – being his usual jokey self and making me laugh!
But a new friend called round full of life and energy, all funny and bright, and invited me to meet her chickens next week! That is just Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I have a special love spot in my heart for chickens – and their smell! Like newborn puppy breath, there is nothing like it and it is just lovely. Don’t know if I’ll get a cup of tea at the kitchen table or will sit in the chookie house with the girls but we’ll see. Ha ha.
So, happier having had a laugh with art-lady friend and her very sweet daughter, I was mojoed up to tackle an X-form butterfly card. It folds flat but needs to be primped and teased out when opened to spread the butterfly wings (lots of them – see the pic: half-butterflies are welded on and then topped with whole ones to oomph up the glamour) and make it look pretty. A couple of mods and I’ll be posting it for sale probably tomorrow evening.
In the meantime, am posting a Photoshop brush I made called ‘Chicken Scratch’. You can use it with PSE as well as PS. I’ll make it available to download for free if I get five comments (all cleaned up and free of copyright, etc!):
Have fun now and speak laters!
