In my garden

 

Hello everyone

Today's card features a stamp that I have had for a number of years, Hydrangea by Rubber Stampede

I have double layered it with a matching teal mat and layered onto a white card base.

I have coloured with the following Promarkers

Arctic Blue

Cloud Blue

Pastel Blue

Pastel Green

Herb Green

I finished off by winding some silver cord around and attaching a wee silver butterfly

Welcome friends

Today's card features a lovely stamp that a friend lent me, I believe it is by Kaisercraft.

I made the background using shiny card, Brusho's and cling wrap. I love the results you can get with this technique. I have roughened the edge and run a purple ink pad around, then layered onto a green card base.

The sentiment is raised with mounting tape.

Hi, I am back again today with this gardener card

I stamped and embossed in black and coloured with the following Promarkers

Y247 summer sun

R346 antique pink

R766 molten red

Y524 herb green

O356 saddle brown

The sentiment is computer generated, and I added 2 strips of washi tape for grounding

The card base is a creamy colour, but did not scan well

Steampunk

 

Welcome everyone

Today I have 2 ATC's to share with you, something I have not made for such a long time, and I had forgotten how much fun they are

The theme is steampunk and I have printed my background images and added embellishments. The bicycle one is printed over the background, and touched up with a black gellyroll pen.

The cogs are stamped with Hickory Smoke DOX.

I added some  distressed silver peeloffs to both, and the first one has an old watch face attached. 

The edges are sponged with Black Soot DI

I would like to enter into the new  Steampunk Challenge #1

I then decided to make these into cards

I dry embossed 2 pieces of mirror card and swiped over the raised surface with Brilliance graphite black, then heat embossed with a black EP

Layered with black and then onto a black card base

Welcome

This is my first post using the new blogger, so hope it goes OK

I would love to get rid of the extra step of redirect when reading blogs, it is so unnecessary. If anyone can help, I would be very grateful

I have followed this sketch from Sketch Saturday 

the sentiment is from Lawn Fawn, and I am not sure about the butterfly

I used snippets of black and white for the diecuts

Hello crafters

Today's card uses a sketch from Poetic Artistry

I used 3 designer papers from my 6x6 Authentique pad, which I have had for some time. I layered onto some black paper to make the design stand out. I diecut the 2 circles and stamped my vintage car (unknown brand) onto a scrap from my snippets box, and coloured with copics. I also used  Dimensional Magic on the windscreen to look like glass

Hi everyone

The challenge this week for Sketch Saturday is to use one of the sketches from  2016

I have chosen #394 for my card. I have used this gorgeous digi that I won from Stamplorations, and re-sized it to fit on an angle on my white card. I have coloured with copics to match my base card. I added a strip of black that I punched with a Fiskars border punch and the stamp is from a set by Clearly Besotted stamps

I would like to enter the following challenges

Art Impressions - quick and simple

Stamplorations - never ending challenge
