Crazy little bird...

Hi folks, hope everyone is well. 

I haven't been on here as much as I would like to as work is still very, very busy but managed to squeeze this one in today!

First I cut a square of watercolour card, I stamped the sentiment using versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder.

Next I brushed the card with water and I added in a wash of Spectrum Noir Marine, it was quite light to start with. Once that was dry I stamped the bird and the splodges with versamark and embossed in white, then I added some Navy and Moss. I then added some black splodges too.

I used Lori's tutorial over on the spectrum Noir Blog as my inspiration for this one...same principle but I just used different stamps.

Remember I still have my candy on offer, so get your name in to win!

For my card this week I have used papers from October Afternoon and Scenic Route. I distressed the edges of the card on each of the layers as I made a bit of a boob when stitching..totally covered up now...I am getting to be a dab hand at the patch up jobs!!I also embossed the circle with a snowflake embossing folder. The image is Penelope from CC Designs...Stamp & Create lots of CC Designs stamps. I coloured Penelope with copics.The snowflake has been punched with the Martha Stewart Scandanvian Snowflake punch..love it!! I stuck a jumbo gem in the middle for some extra glitz and I added some glitter to finish off....I am quite chuffed with this one.

Christmas angel...

Good morning fellow bloggers and those of you who are off to the NEC...so lucky. I might save my pennies for the NEC next time instead of the SECC. You must tell me what it's like. I am hoping that I can get a couple of cards done today but Holly is off scholl unwell so she is still sleeping just now but she is a hard patient and lays it on worse than it really is...I almost have to be by her side tending to her every demand.."can I have a driiiink", "can you change the channel on the telly", "can you fluff up my pillows"...that's how it will go the full day....she has a sore throat!!
So the is the first one today...the snowflake papers are from Fancy Pants and the digi image is from CC Designs and I coloured this cute little angel with promarkers and then just done some shading on top with waterpencils. The snowflakes were punched with the Martha Stewart punches...Love them!! I finished off with gems and glitter...hope you like!!

Mixed Mediums with Paper Sundaes

Welcome Sundae bloggers and my scheduled post...yes working again!! This week over at Paper Sundaes the challenege is to use mixed mediums so you need to use more than one type of colouring medium for example I have used water pencils on top of copics, but you could use chalks, inks, prismacolours, watercolours etc. This week one lucky winner will receive a $25 certificate to use at My Creative Classroom.
For my card I have used papers from Echo Park...which I really like. The stamp is a new stamp I spotted over at Quixotic Paperie I just needed to buy her....isn't she cute and you'll never guess what her name is....well I'll tell you...it's Fiona!! How cool is that...a stamp named after me!! As I said I have coloured Fiona with copics and water pencils. The flower has been cut using my die-namics rolled flower die using a piece of white felt...which worked really well but a pity I stuck it not quite in the right place. I decided it should be over a bit once it had dried but the craft knife wouldn't budge it....at least the glue is strong then!! I also added the strip of lace and the little pearls. Hope you like and I have also entered this card in the following challenges: oh BTW incase anybody is thinking is the stamp named after me...it's not ...just a coincidence!!

this one has new flowers!!

Well my new die arrived so of course I needed to test it out....what do you think...I'm not sure yet. For this card I used Crate Papers - Paper Doll Collection and the image has been coloured with copics. I added ribbon and a ribbon charm but I had to colour the ribbon to match the card...now the flowers were made with my new die-namycs die from My Favourite Things...it's just a spiral and then it's rolled to make this type of flower. I added pearls to the centres of the flowers. I also embossed the backing panel with swirls as I don't have a swirl die...yet. I have entered this card in the following challenges:
