Great Coffee

Hello and welcome to my blog

Todays card was made to join in with the coffee lovers hop.

I used a kraft base layered with red diecut with my new Sizzix die. The mug is a digi which I coloured with copics, and I printed the quote onto some scraps

3 balloons

Hello and welcome to my blog.

Today's card features a bird from one of my favourite sets - Tim Holtz's bird crazy. I printed the sentiment from  my computer and stamped the bird direct to the card, and again on a seperate scrap. I have used Promarkers to colour - buttercup and arctic blue. The balloons are punched, again from scraps, and he is holding them tucked under his wing. I have cased this card from one I saw on Pinterest, but forgot to take details of the designer, sorry.

'gold'

Hello and welcome to my blog.

Today's card features one of my favourite stamps from Paper Artsy. I have stamped it onto a dp using wilted violet distress ink. I stamped the butterfly part again on an extra piece and went over the outlines with my glue pen. I then laid gold leaf over and rubbed it in. After cutting it out I attached it with a glue dot in the centre. The sentiment is from a set by Lawn Fawn embossed in bright gold. The butterfly looks beautiful IRL, but my scan does not show it up well. Edited to add a photo which shows the gold better

'add a sticker'

Hi everyone.

Today's card is my entry for Southern Girls Challenge 'stuck on you'

I have used a piece of dp on my card front and added a strip of another down the left side. On this I layed a sheer ribbon which I gathered and stitched on.  The main picture is a sticker which I have attached to card and stitched around also. Finished off with a couple of matching buttons

My entry for day 4

This was a free image that I had downloaded, it quite tickled my fancy, as it reminded me of a cat we 'inherited' when we bought a house. It stole a whole fish off the bench that I had got out to prepare for our dinner!

I cut out the rectangle with my Stamplorations die and layered onto a green card blank. Then added a little grass with a copic marker

Cat Lovers day 3

Another cat from my catitude set. This one is stamped onto a DI background, I distressed the edges and added a diecut mouse

Hi everone, and welcome to Day 2 of the cat lovers blog hop.
I made this card using some DP on the left, the red is from a punch and the cat and sentiment are from a set I have had a long time, I think it is called 'catitude'. I added a touch of red to his body too

cat lovers blog hop day 1

Hi Cat lovers!

Here is my entry for day one of the cat lovers blog hop. I love this card and have made it several times

Boo!

Welcome to my blog

Todays card looks very crooked, but I think it is the way I scanned it!

The background was created on photo paper using brushos and dylusion sprays.

The crazy cat was stamped on the card and also on a separate snippet which I coloured with copics, and glued on top. I also added some 'googly' eyes and stamped 'boo' down the side.

Any holiday

Hi everyone.

I see that HIMCR has a 'any holiday' challenge, and it is almost about to close.

I have made my card base from kraft card, and stamped my snowman on a snippet of a paler colour.After colouring with copics, I have layered over a stripy ribbon, stamped in versamark and embossed in red ep, and added some doodle lines around the edges of both pieces. I also added a tiny white pompom to his hat!

Blue

Hi everyone, 

I have been 'missing in action' for a while as we have been away on a trip in our motorhome. I have been catching up on blogs, and saw there was a challenge at Allsorts for the colour blue, or water.

I had recently made this card, cutting it out with my Cameo and colouring the layered flowers with copics, so thought it would be suitable.

I will add a sentiment when I decide who it is for.

Here is a pic of a lovely weeping cherry tree that I took while we were away. You can just see the top of our motorhome behind the fence

Things with wings
