Birthday celebrations...

Good morning folks,

I hope my post schedules ok...I am off on a wee long weekend.

The challenge over on the Stamping Sensations Challenge blog this month is to use your favourite colours, please remember to use at least one element of stamping.

This is the prize up for grabs this month.

Four A5 stamp sets from Highlight Crafts, two winners each receiving two sets.

For my card I stamped the butterfly and then masked it off, I then stamped and white embossed the background.  I then added watercolours in my favourite colours.  Once dry I added some splashes, I die cute the sentiment and layered them on top.

Happy Anniversary...

 

Hi folks.

I'm sharing this wee card I made using The Ton Round Foliage window dies ( I love it). I die cut the 2 circles in white, I used my copics and coloured one with shades of blue and the other with shades of green then layered them up.  I added a sentiment, some gems and sequins to finish.

Hope you like.

Sweet Stampin DT card...

 

Hi folks!

It's time for another challenge over on the Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog.  This fortnight's theme is "Things with Wings".  Pop over and check out what the rest of the team have made.

For my card I have used stamp and die from The ton called transformation.  I first white embossed the image and wateroloured, I then die cut the butterfly from a separate panel and doodled around the edges. I fixed a piece of acetate to the reverse and then added some 3D foam, it was a bit fiddly adding the sequins but I managed and layered over the coloured image.  I finished off with some splashes, gems and pearls.

Hope you like.

Birthday balloons...

Hi everybody....hope you are all surviving!

Once again I seem to have other things to be doing than cardmaking however I am on holiday from work for the next 3 weeks so I will defo be making time for myself and some cardmaking although having said that we pick our new puppy in a few days so she will also be keeping me busy but she's a baby and will sleep a lot (ha ha).

For my card today I have used this fabby little stamp set from The Ton.  I white embossed the balloons and coloured them with my zig pens, I added some splashes and sequins to finish.

Hello friend

Hi everybody....it's been a while!  

I really haven't had much time in the last year as most of my spare time is spent looking after my dad however he has a care package in place now and getting on well so I feel I have some time back. I've also had tennis elbow for a few months which has spread to my wrist so holding a pen or pencil and typing can be painful....but now that we are in lockdown I have been able to rest it a bit so thought this would be the perfect time to get back into it so thought I would start by making something that is familiar to me....and fairly easy.

I bought this stamp a few weeks ago although I didn't realise it was so big, but I think it looks quite funky hanging a bit off the card.  I stamped and white embossed (my favourite technique) and then coloured with water colours.  Once the colour was dry I added some little squiggles of gold leaf, some splodges of colour and some sequins.

Hope you like.
