Gorguss girl

 

Hi everyone

Just sneaking in at the last minute with my entry for Allsorts where they are asking for 'girly'

I have had this stamp set for quite some time, and this is the first time I have used it.

I coloured with a mix of copics and promarkers, and was quite pleased with the hair, although I probably need more practice yet.

A piece of sparkly trim and a gold embellishment finished the bottom

Christmas Santa

 

Hi everyone

I am back today with mu Rudolph Days entry

I used a piece of DP for my background and outlined the images with a gold pen. The cute Santa is made from felt and the sentiment is a peeloff.

Welcome, I hope you are all well

I have made this shaker card  for one of my grandsons, who has a birthday later this month.

I followed a tutorial from Jennifer MacGuire, so that the fish also shakes but stays upright. The sentiment is computer generated.

Welcome

Today's card uses a stamp from one of my favourite sets - "Crazy Birds"

I keep going back to this set, as there are so many ways to use these birds!

I stamped onto a piece of kraft card, and coloured him with stencils, and added some 'google eyes' just for fun.After layering onto some lime green card, I also added a little flag with a gold star to mean 'well done', then attached to a white base card

Welcome

My first entry for Allsorts 13th birthday celebration

I masked a diagonal area and then stamped with Brilliance graphite black, using my misti to get a good impression. After removing the mask I stamped the sentiment (Woodware) and outlined the edges with a black marker. To finish, I highlighted some areas with a white pen, and layered onto a black card base

For You

 

Welcome everyone, I hope you are all keeping well

Today's card follows loosely one of Tash Foote's YouTube videos.

I randomly cut the shapes from 3 colours of card and adhered them to acetate leaving a little gap in between The circle of vellum is a diecut, and the bird and branch from is from a Stampin Up punch.

I added some colour using copics and then attached a simple sentiment

Good morning all

Today's card follows the sketch from MFT #591

I have used a piece of left over designer paper for the lower portion and die cut it with a stitched edge die (unknown brand)

The flower is one of the first stamps that I bought, and it is still one of my favourites. I stamped it onto a scrap of orange card with Brilliance graphite black. I outlined the edge with an orange marker and yellow WOS The birthday sentiment is from Woodware and I finished off by adding some black sequins to the centre of the flower

Hello all

 I am back again with a card I have made for the BYSHC Spring into Christmas Linky party

I have used the sketch from BYSHC challenge #21.

The designer papers are from Stampin Up and the stamp is from Stamp-It (Australia)

I used Memento teal zeal and also outlined the layers with Promarker verdigris, which matched perfectly

I would also like to enter this into the Rudolph Days challenge which runs until the end of April

Bleep!

 Hi crafters, It's been a while since I posted, I hope you are all well

Today's card has a piece of yellow card which I ran through my cuttlebug with a folder from Provo Craft, it does not have a name. I swiped over it with dried marigold DI to high-lite the pattern.

My little robots are from a set by TPC Studio, which I stamped in black, cut around, and adhered.

Sail Away

 

Welcome, I hope you are all well

Something different for me today, and something I haven't done for a very long time, as I have arthritis, and find it difficult to prick the holes manually. I experimented using my Cameo Silhouette, to see whether I could scan the design and then cut it on the machine. I was pleased at the result, so you may see more stitched cards in the future. I mounted the panel on a dark blue card base, after sponging the edges with walnut stain DI. The words are stamped with a red Memento ink pad and clear embossed

Welcome back

A very CAS card from me today, I think it took me less than fifteen minutes to make, so quick and simple too!

I used distress oxides - faded jeans and wilted violet through a stencil across the corner.

Then stamped one of Tim Holtz's crazy dogs with memento ink and coloured with copics
