Blue

Hi everyone, 

I have been 'missing in action' for a while as we have been away on a trip in our motorhome. I have been catching up on blogs, and saw there was a challenge at Allsorts for the colour blue, or water.

I had recently made this card, cutting it out with my Cameo and colouring the layered flowers with copics, so thought it would be suitable.

I will add a sentiment when I decide who it is for.

Here is a pic of a lovely weeping cherry tree that I took while we were away. You can just see the top of our motorhome behind the fence

Things with wings

Hi everyone.

Todays card features a beautiful butterfly that I stamped onto vellum and embossed with white detail ep. My background was coloured with distress oxides and I used a stamp with water to take off some of the colour. I added a lovely verse and also some pearls for the body.

HIMCR #368 - pastels

Bizzy Becs Store Challenge - a/g

Heavy Metal!

Hi everyone.

First of all a very warm welcome to my new followers, MaryH and Susan. I hope you enjoy your visits

Today's card is an experiment to see if I could print a digi stamp over a distressed background, and I was happy to find that it worked quite well. I cut an oblong from a spare piece of card and used it to mask a frame while I coloured the inner oblong with di's. The digi is one that I have had in my files for some time, and I can't recall where I got it from. I have trimmed the bottom with some musical tape and added a key for embellishment

I'm late! I'm late!

Hi everyone, it's good to be back, but time is running out for some challenges!
A very warm welcome to my new followers -

Charlene 'White Deer' Heathwood and Mia

My card today is a simple style for a guy, and I have used a new DarkRoom Door stamp that I bought at a recent Craft Show.

I stamped it twice so that I could raise the lens part, which makes it more realistic. The 'smile' is stamped in silver and I outlined it with a white paint Sharpie

Challenges

Rubberdance - black and white + 1 (my green base card)

ink transfer

Hi everyone, and welcome to my blog

Today I am sharing a mixed media wall art that I have made from a kit.

The big white butterfly is done with the transfer method of printing on wax paper, then laying the image face down and rubbing, to transfer the ink. I have used various other stamps direct to the gessoed base and added some flowers, stencilling, butterflies, and some turquoise colour randomly

Challenges 

Paper Artsy - transfers

Southern Girls - a bit flash
