Hi everyone.

I am back again with a card for the Passion for Promarkers challenge, where they want you to add a number.

Green - Y524, C446

Red - R766, R555, R274

Yellow - Y247

Carame4l - O727

I used a couple of scraps from my Christmas papers and layered them on to a white base card

Any holiday

Hi everyone.

I see that HIMCR has a 'any holiday' challenge, and it is almost about to close.

I have made my card base from kraft card, and stamped my snowman on a snippet of a paler colour.After colouring with copics, I have layered over a stripy ribbon, stamped in versamark and embossed in red ep, and added some doodle lines around the edges of both pieces. I also added a tiny white pompom to his hat!

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.

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

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

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

casing Monica!

 Hi everyone.

I am just sneaking in at the last minute to join in at Stamplorations 5th birthday bash!

This is Monica's design that I was so impressed with!

 

 This is my take on it using a Kaisercraft stamp, and the warm wishes is an unknown brand. 

I cut it out with my Stamplorations die (which I always have to adjust as US sizes are different from ours) and layered onto some DP and then onto a white card base

a little birdie told me!

Hi everyone

Todays card is the result of some playtime to make some backgrounds. I added Dylusion lime twist, Glimmermist, Peacock feathers DI, and another green spray onto my craft mat. Spritzed with a little water and swiped my heavy watercolour card through it until I was happy with the coverage. After drying, I stamped some music from Crafty Individuals and also some leaves from another CI stamp set.The birds are from a Ranger set called Little Birdies,  I stamped them as well on a scrap, coloured with a mix of copics and promarkers and adhered them over the stamped image.The panel was then attached to a cream card base

Winter Blues

Hi everyone.

Todays card features one of the birds from the Crazy Birds set by Stampers Anonymous. I have cased a card that I saw on Pinterest, but do not know who the original one was by, so apologies for that.

My background was done using the shaving cream technique, I trimmed and layered it onto a dark navy card base. my bird was stamped on the card and again onto a snippet and coloured with copics.  I added some sequins for interest.

Under the sea (again)

The Mood Board this month at Sum More Fun uses rather grungy colours, and I was able to use another Brusho and Infusions background that I had made earlier. I stamped the seahorse onto a snippet with Bundled sage DI, stamped the starfish with Tattered Rose DI and die cut them, The seaweed was stamped with Brilliance graphite black, then clear embossed. I also added some highlights with a white Sharpie pen.

Vintage Neutrals

Hi everyone.

Today's card is for my entry at Paper Artsy for vintage neutrals. Vintage is one of my favourite styles, although I hadn't done any for a while.

I used one of the stamps from HotPicks, HP1216, stamping onto some old creamy card, which I then tore around, and sponged the edges. It is layered onto 2 dp's and some very old flowers added.

Black and white

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well.

Today's card features 2 stamps from a Kanban set, which doesn't have a name!

I stamped with Versamark and embossed with detail white ep. The sentiment is from another set which has lost it's name. I added a little detail with a blue Gellyroll pen. Men's cards are hard to do, but I thought this one would suit the purpose
