Shades of teal

 

Hi Everyone

I loved yesterday's card so much, that I made another one in the same style

My stamp is unknown, and if anyone does know it I would love to know the details.

I stamped with Brilliance Graphite black and clear embossed.

The colouring was done with Memento teal zeal and two different Inkit ink pads. I smooched them onto my TH glass mat, added some water, and used a paint brush to colour

I have again doodled around the image, trimmed and mounted onto some teal card and adhered to a white card base

Another Merry Christmas

 

Hi everyone

This scan looks as though the right side of the card has been trimmed wrong, but I can assure you it is correct IRL!

I have directly coloured with Memento dewdrops (thank you Chris Dayton) in Bamboo Leaves and Lady Bug, my 2003 Penny Black stamp called Brush Holly

I have done some doodling around the image following a tutorial by Natasha Foote, a fellow Kiwi

Snowflakes

 

Hi, another Christmas card today

I have used a stencil (unknown) and Memento Bahama blue to make my pretty snowflakes.

I then ran it through my cuttlebug using a swiss dots embossing folder.The red sticker was adhered to a scrap, and the edges coloured with the stamp pad too. I ran the stamp pad around my base card which was white, to frame the embossed piece

Merry Christmas

 

Welcome

Another Christmas card from me today

I watched JoFY on FB showcasing her Let it Snow stamp, but I liked the idea so much I went ahead and followed her idea using what I had.

I cut my kraft card slightly smaller than my white card base. I found a scrap of vellum in my 'bits' box, stamped the sentiment, embossed with white detail EP, and wrapped it around the kraft piece

I then splattered with some watered down white ink, then attached the snowflakes. I coloured only the Merry in a blue pen and added some blue gems too

Hello and Welcome

Today's card follows the sketch from MFT

I have used a pretty soft green DP for my background and cut the strips from some white canvas that was amongst the jumble on my desk

The flowers and bird are from a packet of ephemera from Ultimate Crafts, and the sentiment is from my peeloff mountain

Cat Lovers hop day 5

 

On my way to get ready for bed, and realized I had not posted my final hop card

I stamped my crazy cat (by Tim Holtz) directly onto a piece of DP and coloured him with grey shades of Copics. I added another strip at the bottom and handcut a flag for the sentiment

BYSH Cardmakers day 7

 

I am back again with my final entry for the BYSHC blog hop

I cut the pieces for the truck on my Cameo and glued them together, except for the first layer, which has mounting tape in between. I had such a frustrating time trying to get my Cameo to cut, and ended up having to put in a new blade, which solved the problem.

I glued a rectangle of DP to my red card base and then attached the truck. 

The Merry Christmas is a sticker.

I will send this one to my 2 grandsons in Sydney, I don't think they will be coming for a holiday again this year because of Covid restrictions. 

Thank goodness for Skype!

Timeless Beauty

 

Back for my second post today

This gorgeous image is for this month's challenge at Fripperies and Butterflies, Gecko Gals Steampunk Challenge

After printing, I chose a dark green base card as it tones so well with the beautiful mask

I adhered a piece of old lace down the side and coloured it with gold paint, and also adding some paint to the top right for interest The clock embellishment also matches the one on the mask

Cat Lovers hop day 4

 

Hi everyone

I am back today with another entry for Janice's wonderful Cat Lovers Hop

BYSH Cardmakers day 6

 

I spotted this design on one of the blogs that I follow, so this is my version

I stamped onto kraft card and again on a scrap of DP using my Penny Black stamp (dated 2005)

I added a strip of washi across the bottom and then drew a white line either side

I drew the star freehand and outlined it with a black pen, then smudged it a bit

I also drew the black and white lines that the tree is grounded on

Message stamped in Brilliance grahite black
