New nest!

Hello friends, I hope you are all keeping busy under lockdown

I have made this card for a co-worker who was able to move into her new apartment the day before lockdown

I have used a 'new to me' stamp set from GinaK "Owl always love you" which I believe is no longer available

I stamped with  Gina K black amalgam ink and clear embossed, then used a mix of Promarkers and prisma pencils to colour

Welcome back

Today's card was made to send to a young friend for Easter, I know it is not your usual chicken or bunny card, something a little different.

I painted my rainbow background on Fabriano watercolour card, then stamped the images from a NBUS  Crafty Individuals set with GinaK amalgam ink and clear embossed. I also stamped the young couple again on a scrap of white so that I could colour them and adhere to the b/g

Birthday Butterflies

Hi and welcome to my lovely visitors.

I have taken a break from spring cleaning to spend some time in my craft room, as there are a few challenges I wished to enter.

I searched through my box of backgrounds, and chose this one, I wish I could remember how I made it!!

As it has a touch of gold I decided to emboss my image from Crafty Individuals in a bright gold ep

I stamped the butterflies again on a scrap and coloured them with Promarkers, then raised them with mounting tape. The sentiment is from Stampin Up, but I covered the word gorgeous and just used the Happy Birthday part. 

The piece was outlined with the same blue promarker, and then attached to my card base

Thinking Of You

Welcome back

Today,s card is for a friend who's husband now has terminal cancer.

Because we are in lockdown, we cannot visit, so I decided to make a card for them

I cut the feather outlines in a gold card on my silhouette and backed with some dp (unknown brand that I have had about 4 years) I rounded the corners of the blue layer and stamped in white detail EP, a flourish from a Stampers Anonymous set (mini ornates) that I bought in New York a number of years ago and have never used! I added a gold peeloff (also very old) remember when these were so popular! I don't think I will ever use mine up!

Layered onto a white linen look deckle edged base card, and the feathers are raised with mounting tape

Hi and welcome back

Today's card uses the lovely Lavinia stamp that I had used last week.

I multiple stamped onto some designer paper, with GinaK black amalgam, and also stamped a sentiment from Unity in Shades dye ink (purple majesty). I overstamped in Versamark, then clear embossed. Thank heavens for my Misti, I would never be able to do this otherwise.

I added a little Wink of stella to the luna lights and also a white paint sharpie to high-lite

shopping!

Hi and welcome back.

Today's card is for my granddaughter's 14th birthday which is coming up this month.

I have based it on the challenge from Passion for Promarkers, which this week is for flowers and lace.

I have used a pretty piece of dp for my background which has bright colourful flowers on it.

My image is a digi from 'Girl about town' set, and it is very appropriate, as she loves clothes shopping. 

I have coloured with the following Promarkers

cardinal red,  dusky rose,  cadet blue,  pastel beige,  cinnamon,  saddle brown,   caramel,  praline,

buttercup,  and pastel green

 I added 2 rows of lace, which I deepened the colour with the dusky rose to match the girl;s blouse, and then finished with a co-ordinating flower

I hope she likes it!

 Hello and welcome back

Today's card uses an image from a great set for guys. I have chosen the golfer today, and stamped onto a piece of white card, along with the sentiment and the frightened golf ball!

I coloured with promarkers, layered slightly off-set onto a dark green card base and added a piece of washi tape
