Want some cake...

Hello Saturday bloggers and another miserable day here in Sunny Scotland...lol!!  It feels like winter is back...maybe it never really went away though!!

So today I have this wee card for you...finished it off last night...now pinks isn't normally a colour I go for however that doesn't mean I don't like pink like some people (no names mentioned) so I thought it would be a wee change.

The papers have been my stash forever and are from Crate Paper Bliss Collection, the stamp is from LOTV which I coloured with copics, I added some stickles to the icing and the fairy wings although it's hard to see in the photo, the flower has been cut using my die-namics rolled daisy die (not my favourite die but thought it would be a change too), I also added a a ribbon bow fastened with a teeny button and charm...finished with some itsy bitsy pearls...can you see them??

Wee Blossom...

 

Good morning Sunday people...well I thought I was going to be organised this morning...I woke up early with the sun shining so thought I would get loads of washing done and hung up outside and guess what...the heavens have opened and it's pouring...typical Scottish weather!! Well I suppose I can make a start on my Cowboy Pie for dinner tonight...yummy!!

Anyway, I made this wee card last night.  I am loving my new sunflower die...and these papers from Fancy Pants Park Bench which I layered and distressed.  The stamp is Wee Blossom which I coloured with copics, I added some cheesecloth, pearls, the ribbon and button...this seems to be my style, the distressed layers, the blue and other colour combo and those fabby die cut flowers...this seems to be me and I hope you likey!!

A bit of hippie love...

Good morning bloggers and my second scheduled post of the day....

The inspiration this week from the team at My Mum's Craft Shop is "love/valentines"....so I went for a bit of love and peace!!

The papers are Fancy Pants - love Story which I layered onto bazzill card and doodled around the edges.  I used my new die-namics button border die, which I love although you can't see most of it on this card, the flowers have been cut from flower trio die.  The stamp and words are from My Favourite Things - Doodle Garden Far Out which I coloured with copics, I added some glossy accents to her specs to make it look like real specs. I added a ribbon and a little peace charm and some pearls to finish.

Hello Audrey....

Good morning my luvvlies and my scheduled post...

So the team over at My Mum's Craft Shop are sharing some inspiration with you this week, you've seen some fabby cards this week already and a few more to go but first there's mine!!

When I saw this stamp I just had to have her...she is adorable and perfect for paper piecing although it did take me almost 4 hours so although very therapeutic, I'm not sure I would do that in a hurry again...

The papers are Basic Grey - Little Black Dress which I layered onto Bazzill card, I then stitched each of the layers.  I added a doily, some lace and ribbon aswell for a bit of texture...the flower is a die-namics mini hybrid rolled rose(fabby) and I layered that onto a die-namics fancy flourish and finished with some stickles and a birthday message....oh almost forgot I made some tiny pearls too. hope you can see the photo ok...it's not easy to get a good photo of dark colours!!
