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,…
How busy is this card? I think I might have gone a bit mad with this one. I started to add glitter and just kept on going, by the time I had finished I was covered head to toe with the stuff. This is for the Christmas week challenge over at Magnolia Vs Stampavie Challenge blog, which is a lovely sketch. It…

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…
So I have finished my Christmas cards and not only that but they are all written and sent - don't hate me! It was so nice to be able to do a 'Spring' Card. I really enjoyed making this card after all those Christmas cards. This one uses BasicGrey papers and the cute Sarah Kay stamp that I've coloured in with Distress…
A challenge card for you and this one is for the Magnolia and Stampavie challenge blog and this week they have a sketch. I've used the Spring Breeze Kit from Designs by Krista.
