Congratulations...

 

  Morning folks...

This is a scheduled post, hopefully it posts...I'm away on holiday up north again.  Fingers crossed the weather will be better this time and I manage to get my boat trip...one of these days I will see an orca.  Last week I was on my wee puffin trip and got some fabulous photos...well I think they are..here's a couple of my favourites;

Aren't they just the cutest!!

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

The theme is "anything but a birthday".  

So I had a card to make for my daughters sister in law, it's her baby shower next week...hope this is ok as I couldn't find a baby shower sentiment.

 The stamp is from Stamping Bella, I coloured with copics, stamped up the words and cut and layered them, and finished with some sequins.

Hope you like it.

Breathe in deeply...

  Morning folks...

It's been a bit of a busy few weeks for me, we were up north on holiday, then it was Holly's hen weekend in Prague...yep I was the only old one and never again, it was just too much.  It's taken a full week for my bones to get back to a bit of normality.  Only 4 weeks until my next wee holiday.

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

The theme is "flowers".  

I do love this stamp set so I thought I would use it for this weeks challenge.  I stamped the image with archival ink and then coloured with my zig watercolor pens.  I added a few splodges, dots and sequins.

Merry Christmas...

 Morning folks...

I can't believe how fast this year is going in so far...and almost time for my first wee break up north this year.  I cannot wait, it's seems like forever since we have been on holiday, anyway not long to go. I am hoping to catch some good photos of the local Moray wildlife...it's just amazing but before that it's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.

The theme is "Christmas in April".  

I've actually had this stamp for a couple of years I think and yep..never been used so thought it would be perfect for this challenge.

I inked up with archival ink and coloured with derwent pencils, added the sentiment and a couple of enamel dots...kept it simple!

Hope you like it.

Party like a Puffin...

 

Hey folks, I thought I would share this wee card I made today, I really haven't spent much time lately on my cards and really need to get back into it...anyway I did spend ages colouring this one.

I stamped the image using archival ink and coloured with derwent inktense pencils, I did do quite a few layers to make the image stand out.  Those sand eels were a challenge as I didn't have the right shade of grey or silver so I coloured with the grey I had and once dry went over with white which lightened them a bit, I then did a mix of blue and violet...not that you can really see.

I added some splashes, dots and gems to finish.

Hope you like it.

We herd the good news...

 

Morning folks...

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

The theme is "Easter or spring".  

I thought I would go for spring but with a difference.  Aren;t thew sheep just so cute?

I cut a piece of grey card then stamped the sheep, I added the stencilled wool, I added some light splodes around the edges and then added the sentiment,

Hope you like it.

Simple Things...

Morning folks...

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

The theme is "Mother's Day or a special woman".  

I made this card a wee while back for a special friend, I love the eucalyptus stamp, it is just so simple and stamps up beautifully.  I used 2 different blue/green ink.  I then stamped the sentitment and layered it onto the card. I added some splashes, and a couple of little pearls and dots to finish.

Hope you like it.
