Thinking of you

 

Hi everyone, and welcome to my blog today

I have made this card by diecutting an oblong in a left-over piece of textured card. Behind the aperture I attached  piece of tissue that I made some time ago, by crumpling, adding colours, and embossing with gold EP. I then added a diecut flower and a gold peeloff

Just for you

 

Hi crafty friends. It has been a while since I have posted on here

I made this card very similar to a birthday one earlier in the year

The stamp is Indigo Blu and the message is from a Woodware set

I have highlighted the image with a white Sharpie paint pen

In My Garden

 

Welcome

Today's card uses another of my 'plays', experimenting with ink, sprays, and water

I decided to pair this with a Paper Artsy stamp - Jofy JM34, which I stamped with Memento tuxedo black. I stamped again on some scraps, lightly tinted in the centre of the flowers, and layered onto the card. The small circles are filled with Dimensional Magic, and I finished off by drawing some wriggly lines for a frame

Hi Everyone

Today's card features an image from Dr Digi that I won recently

I have coloured him using various markers , and ran a black marker around the edge. I attached to the base card, positioning more towards the top left. The message is a peeloff which I coloured black

Hi everyone

First of all, welcome to my new follower, Carla Aerts, thank you

Today's card is the result of playing with some paints to make backgrounds. I first used 3 colours of Fresco paints, dotting them onto my card and then scraping across with an old credit card. I decided that I didn't like the colour combo, so mixed some perfect pearls into a little white paint and painted over the top, dabbing in some places to give a slight textured look

The circles from 'Round in Circles' (Rubberdance) were stamped with Brilliance graphite black, and the words from 'Affirmations' (Rubberdance) were stamped and embossed in detail white EP. I also coloured the large word lightly with a Sharpie paint pen

Tranquil Turquoise

 

Good morning crafty friends.

The stormy weather of the last few days has seemed to have stopped, and the sun is shining!

I trimmed my white piece to layer onto my turquoise base card, and added some diecut leaves, a sparkly flowere and a peeloff message trapped in 2 clear peeloffs.

Stitched Swans

 

First of all, a big welcome to my newest follower, Meg Patterson, thank you for joining

A last minute entry for the challenge at Creative Knockouts, where they have asked for 'all stitched up'

I have used a lovely sparkly black thread for this design, but it doesn't show in my scan. The edges are sponged with black soot DI and attached to a white base card.

I would also like to enter at Carlin's Card Paradise Challenge for a/g
