Candy hearts...

howdy peeps....it's a very, very rainy day here today and there's nothing better than to play with your new sugar....mmmm! so delivered today and ordered yesterday...how is that for service from Funky Kits??

Not sure if I have went a bit overboard but I thought I would start with this little cutie called Candy Hearts from Sugar Nellie, coloured with copics. I also stamped the image onto masking paper and stuck the mask down onto the coloured image and then chalked the blue background....The papers are Echo Park - Hello Summer and Prima - Double Deux, all the layers have also been distressed. The clouds and flowers have been cut with MFT die-namics, I touched up the flowers with some ink too and then doodles everywhere really!! I finished with some glitter to the flowers...hope you like.

My GDT card for Joanna Sheen...

Good morning Sunday bloggers and it's my official first weekend of no weekend working..woo hoo!! Today's card is my GDT card for Joanna Sheen....I couldn't believe it when Paula emailed me to ask if I would like to join them for this challenge, so of course I said yes.

So I have used this fabby House Mouse Stamp called Rainy Daisy Days.......which I coloured with water colour pencils, I stamped the flowers out twice and gave them a 3D look...to look like wee brollies and then added glitter to them so that it look like the water shining and splashing on them. The papers are MME - Happy Go Lucky, I finished with a sizzix cut daisy and the sentiment is from personal Impressions.

Pop over to the Joanna Sheen blog to check out the others cards.

My first GDT card for Cupcake...

Good morning folks and welcome to my first scheduled post of the day. When the lovely Faye dropped me an email last month to ask if I would be guest over at Cupcake Craft Challenge for the month of April....well how could I refuse!!

So here we have my first offering...the theme is "something you would find in your sewing basket". I have mainly focused on the stitching side of things and have used this fab digi from Clear Dollar Stamps called Sew Grateful which I thought would work perfectly.

I coloured the image with copics, the papers are Alora from Bo Bunny. I made the backing papers look like a patchwork effect and added some zig zag stitching, on the images I added some embroidered stitching. To finish I added a couple of buttons and I threaded the needle with some embroidery thread. Pop over to the Cupcake Craft Challenge Blog to check out the other cards...

Happy Birthday Dad...

Well good afternoon bloggers, thought I would post this just now as I don't have anything else to show you but it will be fine as my dad doesn't look at my blog. It's my dad's birthday next week and this is the card I have made for him. The stamp is Sail Away from Stampin' Up, I coloured the sails with polychromos, there is actually white and a very pale blue in there!! The paper is from Jillybean Soup - Apple cheddar soup and all layered onto kraft. I doodled around the edges too...I quite like that look. I cut those little flags out with my MFT pennants die. The message is from LOTV...oops nearly forgot...I added a charm too.

I have given my blog a makeover yesterday as I had a few followers say they couldn't read the text on my other one, I think when it was on a go slow and the page took a while to load, so this is my first post on my new look blog.
