Brighter Days Ahead...

Hi everyone, hope you are enjoying this lovely weather we are getting!

I made this card as part of the card swap on the Dies to Die for & Friends facebook page.  I thought it was a fab idea to get me back into it.

The stamp set and die  is from Concord & 9th, I used altenew inks to ink up the rainbow, die cut the clouds and covered with glitter, I added some doodles to the edge.

Hope you like.

My best selfie...

Hi everyone....so I just love this stamp set, it's sooooo cute and the sentiments are perfect.  When I am on a night out with my friend she has to always make sure we have lots of funny selfies and this image and sentiment reminded me of her so I made this card for her....just for being her lol!

I stamped the image using archival ink and then coloured with copics. I die cut the little frame and stamped the sentiment on the bottom and then layered it onto the card.  I doodled around the edges to finish.

Morning everybody, it's a lovely sunny day so I thought I would share this card I made...think it's a bit summery...what do you think?

For this card I  used Summer Citrus from WPlus9 and coloured with my copics.  I cut the images out (don't have the dies) and layered them onto the card using sticky fixers.  I added some gold leaf to the splodges...not sure you can see them as that didn't work out, wasn't quite what I had in mind! I then added some sequins, pearls and gems and doodles to finish...oh the sentiment is from a Concord & 9th set.

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.

Fabulous...

Hey all...I was super excited to get this card made after my new goodies arrived.  I spotted a card on Pinterest which was pretty similar and to where I got my inspiration for this one.

I used the stripe stencil for the background ...I masked it to a piece of watercolour card and lightly coloured it with blue and grey watercolours and once dry I added some splats.  I die cut the image, then stamped it up with versamark ink and white embossed.  I then coloured with the same watercolours and when dry layered it with sticky fixers. I stamped the sentiment and also white embossed the word "fabulous"...finished with some sequins.

Thanks...

Hi folks, here I am with a wee card I made last night.  I ordered some new crafty bits so needed to put them to use straight away!

I stamped up the image and white embossed on to watercolour card and then watercoloured using just 3 colours.  I added some splashes of colour, stamped the sentiment and then added some sequins to finish....oh I also forgot i doodled around the edges too!
