Merry Christmas

Hi everyone, I hope you having a good week.

Just a quick post to show you a card I've made inspired by the sketch at Less Is More.

To make my card, the base was inked and dots of glue pen applied and heat embossed in white. Also used the same technique for the snow on the die cut branch and the owl was coloured with Chameleon pens and fussy cut.

Hello everyone, I hope you're well!

At last I have been able to have time and energy to make a card.  I die cut the frame, trees, ice and penguin and stamped the penguin and ice (Winter Pals) in black Memento and coloured with Promarkers.  There are touches of texture paste and glitter on the trees.

Time Out GD reminder card

Hi everyone, I'm delighted to be guest designer at Tme Out and it's the second week of the inspired by words challenge. The words are 'Happy is the bride on whom the sun shines' and you can choose all or any of the words as inspiration for your card.

To make my card, I've used some cloud DP paper as the base and added some torn vellum, an inked and stamped die cut and die cut sun.

Don't forget to check out all the beautiful creations that the Time Out DT have made!

Time Out GD

Grettings everyone

I am very honoured to be Guest Designer at Time Out Challenges.  We have an 'Inspired by words' theme and the words are 'Happy is the bride that the sun shines on'.  You can use any of these words as inspiration (i.e. happy, bride, sun, shine). 

I wanted to use more of my DP on cards and here's what I've made.  The base was a die cut stiched rectangle cut from DP, then I added the "happy", bird, vellum banner, grey banner with "birthday" heat embossed in white and the vellum foliage tinted with a Promarker.

Looking forward to seeing you at Time Out. Have fun!!

Addicted to Stamps and More #131 - Anything Goes

Hello crafting friends, I hope you're well and having a good week!

It's time to start a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More and this week it's Anything Goes.

Our fabulous sponsor is Sweet Pea Stamps and our winner will receive a prize of 4 digis from their store!

I wasn't going to make any more "love" cards as I've made a few already, but when I saw Kylie's beautiful card which we are invited to CASE (with a twist) at Time Out, and the colours and roses at The Card Concept (Romantic Roses), it seemed a good opportunity to use my cute little foxes stamp again.

For my "twist" on Kylie's card, I stencilled onto the card blank with texture sparkle medium.  The little tags and flowers are die-cuts, and the foxes were stamped with black Memento and coloured with Promarkers.

Will also be linking up to House of Cards, where the theme is LOVE.

 

There's beautiful inspiration from the our Guest Designer, Janine at Sweet Pea and from the Design Team ladies over at the ATSM challenge blog, so do be sure to wander over and have a look. We hope you're inspired to join in the fun and look forward to seeing your creations and visiting your blogs.

Have a great rest of the week! xx

Two little owls

To make my card, I brushed on ink over a cloud template, stamped and coloured the owls and fussy cut them, added diecut branch, sentiment and hearts.

Have a lovely day!

Hi everyone, I hope you're well and the weather isn't being too unkind!

I've made another card for Time Out as the photo inspiration is lovely this week and I wanted to have another go! This time I've taken inspiration from the row of cushions and the flower pattern

The flowers were stamped in black Memento and coloured with Promarkers and then I cut out three squares from the larger image.

The flowers were coloured using the ColourQ selection and am also linking to Darnell's fun NBUS (never before used schtuff) and CAS-ology where the theme is also NBUS, as this is the first trip out for the Blossoming Buds stamp set and
