Sunshine colours!

This gorguss stamp is one that arrived today as part of my prize at Pixie's Playground. I couldn't wait to try it out, and this is the result.
I have embossed the background orange piece through my cuttlebug, and lightly touched the edges with a black ink pad. The image is stamped with Brilliance Graphite black end embossed with black detail EP. I have coloured her in using a mixture of copics and promarkers. The 3 flowers have atamens added (another part of Pixie's prize) and some glitter added to the edges.
 Challenges:-
Graph It - yellow and orange
Cuttlebugmania - anything goes

Imagine!

Here is my attempt this week adapting the instructions from the Paper Artsy blog.
I made a rough background using texture paste, and sprinkled a little red EP in places and melted it.
I cut the heart from red card and stamped some circles on it from my JOFY set. I then melted some beeswax onto it - what fun - I have never done this before!! I stamped the word (from one of TH stamp sets) onto Crunchy Waxed Kraft paper, and embossed with white detail EP. I added the wee bird just for fun, and the piece of black chain, and attached it to black card. I am entering this at Paper Artsy

Scrap card

I was so pleased with the effect of this design on a previous card, that I decided to make it again using pieces from my scrap box. I could probably make a hundred of these and still have a box full of snippets!!

Christmas again

I should have scanned this card against something dark so that you can see it is a square card.
I was inspired by the challenge at Craftyhazelnuts Xmas, and chose to use red, white green, reindeer, and holly.
The reindeer is embossed with white detail EP, and I am please with how it turned out.
Thanks for looking

My first for this year!

Christmas card - that is!
I have used 2 images from my Tim Holtz set, stamped in Adirondack Expresso. It goes well with the pale cream card. I distressed the edges a little.
I have used a piece of very old lace, and threaded it with some recycled gold ribbon. The holly is a punch and I added 3 red beads to finish.
Sorry the scan is a little crooked!.

CAS birthday card

Today I have been busy with cardmaking and this is one of them.
The base card is from Craftwork Cards, included in a lovely prize that I won from Enfys - (Going Buggy)
I have used washi tape on a slope and stamped the sentiment and flowers above. I have also added some minute buttons at the centres of the flowers.
I would like to enter this one at
CASual Fridays - CAS and buttons

Nautical

The present challenge at Opus Gluei is a beach theme, so I thought this one would be appropriate.
I have used an embossing folder, and highlighted the raised areas with a metallic paste. I have also coloured the scallop shell with copics and metallic paste as well. I layered it onto black card, after tearing the bottom edge and added a couple of diecut shells.
