Flutter of Joy...

 Morning folks,

It's been a busy week, I'm just back from my big birthday holiday up north which was fab, the weather was glorious, the scenery is amazing and we actually saw lots of dolphins this time...they were soooo cool!  Only a few more weeks until we are back again!

It's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.

The theme for this challenge is "clean and simple".

For my card I have used this sweet butterfly set from Altenew, I stamped the butterflies with archival ink and added some subtle watercolours to the image.  I then added some splashes and sequins to finish.

Howdy folks,

I've been in a right guddle over the past few weeks with some DIY going on in the house but nearly there and most of all my new craft room is next on the agenda and I'm hoping we can get it done by the end of May...fingers crossed!

It's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog. 

The theme is "animals" so let's see your fabulous makes.

For my card I have used this cute little stamp that I bought recently from Simon Says Stamp, I stamped up the image with archival ink and coloured with water colours and layered onto some dark green card and then onto the card base.

Happy Birthday...

 Good morning folks,

           So, it's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin challenge Blog.

The theme this fortnight is Birthday girls.  I had bought this new stamp a few weeks ago but haven't had the chance to use it....I thought it would be perfect for a girl.

I stamped the image with memento ink and coloured with copics, I have really neglected my copics so it was good getting them back out again.  I added some little splashes, a couple of enamel dots and some glitter to finish off.

Happy Birthday...

 

Morning sweet stampers and Happy New Year!

I have been choked with the cold and been left with an annoying cough but it's getting better thankfully.

It's time for the first challenge of 2024 over on the Sweet Stampin challenge blog.  The theme is "new"...interpret that in which ever way you like but remember to use stamping.

For my card I used a new background stamp, first I coloured up the background with watercolours and once dried I stamped the birthday wording. I added some splashes of white paint and some gems.  I also die cut a candle and the birthday and layered them on the card...you can kind of see from the image below.

This is the prize up for grabs this month.

Good morning Sweet Stampers....my post is scheduled as I am on my holidays...hopefully it goes according to plan!

It's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.

The theme is "doodling"....my favourite!

I stamped the flowers onto watercolour card and coloured them using my zig pens, I added some background watercolouring too.  I added some white splashes, some little doodled hearts and some sequins....finished with the doodled border around the edges of the card.

Hope you like it.

Thanks a bunch...

 

Howdy folks,

The weather seems to have got a bit milder today, thankfully, I just hope the snow stays away!  Before we go out and about and head for our doggy friendly lunch I thought I would share my latest make.

With my last purchase of Stampin Up goodies I received this stamp set as a freebie...I just love it, it's different but fab...well I think so anyway.

I stamped the carrot layers, added the stalks, some doodles and sequins...so easy and quick!

Hope you like it.
