Hi there, sorry I have been missing in action.

I recently purchased a new PC which runs win 11, and it has been quite a change from my old win 7 PC.

I have had to resolve a number of issues, mainly with help from youtube, and now I have struck another problem where blogger won't upload photos. For this one I had to copy and paste, and I am not really happy with the process or the result, so I apologise if it is not a clear picture.

For the left side I used a piece from my scrap box, and just had enough to die-cut to fit. The stamp is a very old one, which I have removed from the block, and did  not keep a record of the maker. If anyone knows, I would love to know too. The centre piece was stamped onto shrink plastic, shrunk, then layered with mounting tapeonto the stamped panel.

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

Birthday Balloons

 


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

Wish

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.
