Thinking Of You Sugar

I'm loving distress ink watercolouring at the moment and it just seems to go so well with the Sarah Kay images. This one uses BasicGrey papers and embellished by cutting out the heart leafs from another sheet and giving dimension with silicone glue. The metal hearts were coloured with alcohol inks and the lace with VersaCraft ink. The sentiment is from Inkadinkado,…

Scissors…

Wahoo - I've found my scissors! They were hiding in my ribbon box and I looked everywhere for those naughty Minkeys :) A card that hits two challenge buttons today. Firstly it uses the lovely sketch over at BasicGrey Challenge blog and then it incorporates embossing for the Penny Black Challenge blog.

More is More…

I might have gone a bit overboard on this one :) No excuse – I just got a bit carried away. This card is heavy! I've used a few recycled finds such as some broken jewellery that someone gave me, not as a gift don't worry. People now know that I collect anything, particularly buttons and beads, so when they don't want…
