A Little Thank You

Hi folks, happy Friday!

I'm here today with my card for My Mum's Craft Shop!

I have been doing a bit of watercolouring and this set of stamps from MFT called Build-able Bouquet is the perfect set to start with as the images aren't too big. 

For this card I stamped the images and white embossed, this helps the colour not to run over the lines, it kind of holds it in place....it's a fab technique!  I then used watercolour pens to colour the images.  I added some little sequins and some white splodges to finish!


challenges:
Cute Card Thursday - embossing
Cute as a button- anything goes
Bunny Zoe -summer florals
Fab 'n' Funky - add a sentiment

A little krafty...

Hi folks....here's a wee quickie from me this evening!  

I have been busy playing with my new toy today, just trying to work out how everything works...

This has to be the most on the spur of the moment purchase I have ever made...just hope I have made the right decision!!

So onto the card, I actually made this the other night....and now I quite like it!!

This has to be one of the easiest cards to make, so first I die cut a piece of kraft card, I then stamped a few different stamps from the set called Water Blooms from Mama Elephant using a versamark stamp and then embossed with with embossing powder. Unfortunately this stamp set is out of stock but will be available soon. I then stamped some black spots. I aslo added black to the centres of a few of the flowers just for a little more detail.  The sentiment is also from the same stamp set. I added a die- cut scalloped strip and added some little pearls to this.

Happy Sunday folks...bet you thought I had gone missing??  I have had a busy week with work last week and had to prepare a presentation, go through 4 stages of an interview not to get the job!!  At least I still have my old one...

Although it has been snowing this week I felt it was to for a spring time card.  I bought this stamp at the SECC...isn't it cute!!

Now I am not quite sure how the green thing happened but it has...I have used papers from MME - Meadow which I layered onto bazzill card and stitched and distressed each of the layers.  The stamp is from LOTv which I coloured with copics.  I added a ribbon and a few little bud type things which I coloured green to match the card...oh and some pearls.

Good morning campers and my scheduled post...yes working again!!

So over at My Mum's Craft Shop there's some more inspiration this week with what's available to buy in the shop...here's my inspiration for this week.

I had been eying up this little tree for a while, as I do like trees but couldn't think what I would use it for...anyway I decided to go ahead and buy it and I am so glad I did...I just love it!!

I cut out a pale blue circle and embossed it, then layered it onto bazzill card and distressed around the edges. The cloud has also bee cut from blue paper.  The trees were cut from different coordinating green paper...oh and some doodling too!!

All dies are MFT die-namics...flat bottomed cloud, terardrop tree and the wonky scallop....you can buy them all from the shop.

Peek a boo...

Good morning Sunday bloggers and my first post of the New Year...thought I would get this posted now as I have a busy day ahead of me. I need to make some soup, then I need to do the Facebook post and then I am helping my friend deliver some leaflets...which will be for about 3 hours...I am thinking of the brisk walking so some exercise in there.

So last night I doodled away colouring this little cutie and finished the card off this morning...it's a bit different and I think I like it although I'm not sure about the pink...

The papers are my new Basic Grey - Little Black Dress (although they are brown), the rolled flower has been cut with a MFT die-namics die and the leafy one is a magnolia die.  The image is Peek a Boo birthday from Sugar Nellie which as been coloured with copics and then glittered....hope you like.
