Do what makes you happy

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

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!

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!

Another card today, made for the Memory Box challenge, which is to use glitter paper, or glue.

I diecut a piece of pearl metallic card with a TH die and backed it with a piece of red card which I glittered with WoW fine glitter.

I diecut my poppies twice, once in green card, and once in red card. I added Art Glitter glue and more of the WoW glitter to the red poppies, When dry, I trimmed them and glued to the green layer. A stamped bee and some washi tape completed the card

Hi Everyone.

I hope you are all being very crafty, my country is in total lock-down, so I am having fun in my craft room to pass the time.

For this card, I stamped a piece of cream paper with some clocks and cogs to make my background. It looked too bright so I layered a piece of velum paper over it to soften. 

I cut the penny-farthing on my cameo silhouette, and glued to the velum. I also added a small brad in each corner, and some peel offs that look like hinges. Then attached to my dark maroon base card.
