Claire's birthday card.

This is the card I made for my daughter Claire. She is 26 this year.

I used JOFY and Paper Artsy stamps and distress inks, with a little Wink of Stella  pens.

Clarity Challenge August 15

Hi all Clarity stampers!

Another month has gone by!

I love Bingo! What a fantastic idea and so flexible.

I needed to make my ex mother in law a birthday card and I had in mind something very similar.

I have gone diagonal and used the birthday stamp as the stamp, stamped the flowers and got very messy with glitter.

I think it's a pretty card just right for her.

I hope you like it too?

Indigoblu Challenge August 15

Hi IndigoBlu  lovers!

This is my challenge piece for this month.

I was very lucky to win with my first entry a couple of months ago, and I love the prize stamps.

I have used 2 different colour gilding flakes, Chocolate and Lancashire Tart. I love the splat butterfly and I thought it would be perfect with the rich colours from the L T.

I mounted on 2 bright backing cards and added a couple of butterflies heat embossed onto acetate.

I hope you like.

Good luck to all.

Lavinia Challenge August - Anything but a Card

Hi, not sure what to do for this challenge but I had just finished a Finnabair inspired canvas so I thought that I would do something similar.

I have only used an 8 × 8 canvas, not too big.
I made a portrait of the lovely girl with flowers in her hair, made a frame from bits found in my craft room, glazed it with acetate and blinged it up with gilding waxes.

I coloured clear embossing paste with violet Brushos, and used it through a pretty stencil.

I made flowers and gave them a dash of violet. I used a few jewellery findings to go with the mini flowers and stamped 3 fairies on acetate. I also have a verse that starts with the words Fairy Dust and added it to a small bottle of glitter.

I hope you like it!

Clarity Challenge July 15 - Anything You Like

I thought that I would use the Club Stamp this month, two elephants entwined.

I used gold embossing enamel to make them stand out and cut around them. I made a background with Brushos and a Clarity stencil which I outlined in gold pen. I really wanted bold colours. 

I was going to add the sentiment LOVE but decided that ALWAYS was better, more of a commitment.

I hope you like my card.

Thank you for looking x

Hobby Art Stamp Challenge July 15

Thank you for looking at my blog.

This is a sweet little card for the challenge to add a verse.

I have quite a lot of Hobby Art stamps and they are lovely to use. I had made some background cards with Brushos and the piece that I chose was mainly blue and lilac.

I stamped small images on the card with a purple archival ink. I stamped the basket of lavender and carefully cut it out. I stamped the verse and die cut it with a Spellbinders die and used it as a stencil.

I love this card it's fresh and clean and I hope that you like it xx

Lavinia Stamps July 2015

I haven't posted for a while.

This is my entry to the Lavinia Challenge this month.

I bought these lovely Crealies Patchwork dies from the Oyster Crafts Stand at the Sincerely Yours Paper craft show in Portsmouth a few weeks ago and met the lovely and talented Marianne Lait.

The card is quite simple with Lavinia Stamps and Brushos in lemon. I let the die do the rest.

Thank you for looking. Hugs xx
