Dotty stencil

Hello and welcome

Today's card has a background made from a dotty stencil and distress inks. I stamped the flower directly onto the panel and again onto some scrap card with my flower stamp from Stampendous which I have had for years. I coloured the edges with a red pencil and glued some very tiny beads to the centre. The stems are hand drawn. I finished with a wee piece of washi tape and a little metal heart

Sentiment in focus

Welcome to my blog

Today's card was made very quickly, by die cutting a piece of Dp with a stitched rectangle die. Stamped and embossed with 'Ebony Shimmer' ep, layered onto a toning paper, edges sponged with Wilted Violet DI, and then attached 

to a black card base. The ep is quite sparkly IRL, but does not show in the scan

Welcome

Today's card is one that I cut on my Cameo, mainly using Bazil cardstock. The file was from Dreaming Tree, and I love how it turned out.

Feathered Friend

Welcome

Today's card features a lovely stamp from La Blanche - it does not have a title.

I stamped it with Adirondack 'expresso' and lightly coloured with pastel pencils. After distressing the edges, I adhered it to a toning brown base card.

One of a kind!

Welcome to my blog

Today's card features another of  Tim Holtz' crazy dogs. These are such fun stamps to have, and I try and use them whenever I can.

The challenge at Time Out is 'Unique' so I thought this would suit it perfectly.

I have layered 2 different papers from a lovely pad that I won (LOTV On a High Note) and then attached my image that I had coloured with copics. The colllar has some wink of stella added and it is so sparkly IRL! Words are computer generated and I also added a couple of 'Candi' to finish off

Celebrate in green!

Welcome

My card today features one of the birds from Stampers Anonymous. I first adhered a piece of card that I had played with using different paints, and it is much greener IRL. I then stamped my bird, and stamped again on a seperate scrap of card, which I coloured with Copics. The words are from a very useful set from Paperbabe
