Wedding Day

I don't seem to do many cards which show off the sentiment more than the image. I popped onto Clean & Simple blog and saw their sketch.

I still wasn't sure but knew I could combine image and sentiment.

This too is one of my designs that I made up to a stamp.

Coloured with copic pens and the heart covered with glossy accents.

Happy Crafting.

Caravan Fun

Ok where has the time gone. Only one post so far this month.. very poor of me.

Still onwards and upwards to another two challenges.

Over at Daring Card Makers  we are going to party with festivals.

This card is made from one of my own designs that has been made into a stamp.

Coloured with copic pens and glossy accents on the small hearts.

The layout of this card comes from the sketch from Less is More.

Happy Crafting.

Crafts Galore Encore August Challenge

Ok where has that month gone?

We are now in August and next challenge over at Crafts Galore Encore Challenge

This month it's ANYTHING GOES 

We have a great sponsor Di's Digis and this months prize is $12 to spent over at the store.

So onto my creation. Wooden hearts grabbed me, jumped into my basket and wanted to come home with me, while shopping.

They then sat there for a while as I thought of how to decorate them.

This is what I came up with...

They are very simple but stand out. All covered with paper, edged with chocolate brown ink, punched flowers and butterflies which have glossy accents on them to make then sturdier, as they are paper.

Natural twine for hanging.

Now hwta are you waiting for pop over to Crafts Encore Galore and have a look at the fabulous design teams creations and join in with us.

Singing in the rain

Here is another challenge card for Less is More who are 'singing in the rain'.

I love these wellington boots stamp. The umbrella I have on the card is one I just made up with wire for the handle.

It is a simple card but my style.

Happy Crafting.

Let's Surf!!!!!

Well where has the time gone?

I have been doing a few crafty things which I will pop up on the blog soon.

But for now here is a card for Daring Cardmakers where they are asking you to be 'out on the water'

I stamped the surf board, shorts and flip flops. These were cut out and coloured. The water and the sand have been torn from blue and yellow card.

Stamps

Hello

It's been a few days since I have blogged.

I bought though that I would just pop a post on here to say that I am so excited about something that I have wanted to do for many years and just not had the right tools or should I say help to do it.

As some of you may well know my partner David designs and illustrates. He has had some lovely images he has drawn up that I fell in love with and printed out as a digi stamp. I do like digi stamps but am more of a hand stamp person so I can layer, mask and just generally place the image and wording where I want it.

Well i can now do that as David's images are being made into stamps by me.. yes I can now make the stamps.

Here is a photo of worded and image stamps that have been made.

Butterfly Love Card

Well hello again. Two post in one day.

The card I am about to show covers 5 challenges. I have been so busy with bits and time has flown by. To cover so many challenges is not really my thing so I am sorry about that.

Papertake Weekly says anything goes (with a christmas optional if you want).

Daring Card Makers are asking you not to use scissors please.

Less is More requires you to use something recycled on your creation.

Clean n Simple have a fab sketch for you to use.

AAA Cards have a multi challenge going on over at their blog.

My card has string used from a shop tag, the heart is cut with a die, corrugated butterflies, the sentiment is stamped onto the acetate (plastic)
