It was my OH's birthday this weekend and we did lots of lovely birthday stuff, including eating lots of yummy food and visiting places such as doing the tour around BBC Television Centre. He took Friday afternoon and Monday off work and it has been a nice extended weekend. Shock to the system getting back to normal today! Plus I reckon I…
Still in the pink today and the card uses an Elzybells Art Stamp paper pieced with SEI papers and 'floated' onto some swirly Papermania acetate :) Lovely sparkly buttons are from Buttons Galore and they are very juicy - I love them! So how do you like the Pinkwall tyres? If I had a car I would like Pinkwall tyres - don't…
Back to normal today and the novelty of the snow has worn off, so showing cards :) Today we are in the pink with some papers from S.E.I. and some ladies that tea from Elzybells Art Stamps. Hope you are all keeping warm. Materials: Stamp - Elzybells Art Stamp Ink - VersaFine Onyx Black; Versacolor Opera pink Colouring - Letraset promarkers Usual…
The penultimate Christmas card from me this year (I hope) and I thought I would have a go at the challenge Katy has put up on the Craft Stamper Blog, which is to use Glimmer Mist in a project. This follows on from a fab masterclass article in the January edition of the mag. So I used the cellophane (cling film, Saran…
Well, I'm a little later than usual with my posting today. On top of that, I don't have a finished project to show you - shock! Has the 20-card marathon washed me out? Well perhaps, but the main reason is I've been a bit busy on other things - double shock. I've been to a creative embroidery class: I'm starting next year…
A Blooming Marvellous card for an avid gardener, with a bit of a gardening twist. The card uses the Kaboodle Doodle Blossom Berry Bright kit with a watering can stamp from Elzybells Art Stamps. I had fun glittering the sentiment and the flowers on this one. I made this a while back now for a birthday this month and I've been sitting…
A card for a wedding today, using the lovely Blossom Berry Bright kit from Kaboodle Doodle – I love this kit – and a stamp from Elzybells Art Stamp. This one uses the fab sketch from this week's Friday Sketchers. You can't see it too well in the photo but I used co-ordinating glitter on the dress, flowers, hat, waistcoat and cravat.…
Elizabeth has started to put challenges up on the Elzybells blog. The challenges are fab sketches using Elzybells wonderful stamps and the DT cards are beautiful so go check it out. Here is my humble attempt :) I love paper piecing with these stamps. Materials: Stamp - Elzybells Colouring - paper piecing and Letraset promarkers Ink - VersaFine black Papers - PaperMania…
Here is my take on this week's great sketch from Mumur at Friday Sketchers. The papers I've used are from a fab new kit, 'Blossom Berry Brights', which is being launched from Kaboodle Doodles soon. Elizabeth over at Elzybells Art Stamps has showcased my card on her blog – I'm tickled pink, thank you Elizabeth. You must have a look at her…
Here is a RAK card I made recently. It uses some flowers I made from paper inspired from nature itself. Walking to work one day, I found a petal shape on a flower that I just knew I had to copy. I sketched it then made a template flower which I've now been using in lots of different ways. I've been asked…
