Happy 8th Anniversary!

Hiya Peeps

I've just finished this card for hubby! In case you hadn't guessed, it's our 8th Wedding Anniversary today! :)

This gorgeous puddy cat is from Penny Black, papers are from Pink Petticoat and I've printed them out in 'Smoke' and 'Silver'. The cute corner stamps are from LOTV, I'd almost forgotten about these and I'd already put the card together when I decided I would use them!!! I'm a real risk taker me! :D

I've coloured with me watercolours, used abit of Glossy Accents on the pen and gone around the image with a Brilliance 'Starlight Silver' inkpad.

Thank you for visiting, it always makes my day :)



If I Knew You Were Comin'........

............I'da baked a cake, baked a cake! Got that song in your heads now? :D  Had a peek at the challenge over at Cupcake Craft, which has a theme of 'cooking' and couldn't resist having a play with this sweetie!

The image is of course from Lili Of The Valley, the pretty papers are from Dovecraft, I've used a couple of Martha Stewart punches, the Cherish Hearts border punch and the Vintage Doily medium punch too.

I've coloured with Derwent Inktense Watercolours and used Liquid Pearls for the cake mix :)

Simple Congrats

Hiya Peeps

Phew! What a scorcher! Hope everyone's enjoying the fantastic weather today, little bit too hot outside this afternoon for me, so have been having a play in me craft room! :D

As soon as I saw the challenge over at Less Is More, I had a picture in my head of what I wanted to do! However, it's ever so slightly different, I wanted to do a shaker card, which I have, which is the main bit I suppose! :D  The first attempt ended up in the bin though!

A close-up of the shaker bit :)

Thank you for visting and enjoy the rest of the day :)

Hi again!

Must be on a bit of roll today! I have to admit I don't think I've inked half my stamps up, so just lately I've been manically stamping images out so they're ready to paint! :D

This is another Penny Black, the papers are DCWV again and I think this was the first paper pad I ever bought! The flower corner punch is from Martha Stewart and the flower punch is an old one from X-Cut. I seem to be  re-discovering alot of old craft goodies! :D  And the pearls I made with a Pearl Maker Pen.
