Ruby Anniversary

 Hello everyone!

Here's a card I made for my uncle and aunty's ruby wedding anniversary, where I was a wee bridesmaid 40 years ago!!! Crikey! Lol!

The sweet stamp is from Lili Of The Valley, I used Vintage Sepia Versafine ink to stamp with on to Botanical Ultra Smooth watercolour paper and coloured with my trusty Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils.

I ink blended around the image with Distress Oxide ink pads in the colours Spun Sugar and Festive Berries and used a cloud stencil with these colours too. I then splattered with water, the same inks and Perfect Pearls.

I stamped the sentiment inside the heart balloon with the same Versafine ink, used some Stickles Sprinkled Sugar glitter glue for a bit of sparkle and popped some pretty heart embellishments on to finish.

Winter Woodland

 Hi everyone!

Christmas is coming thick 'n' fast! I've been busy doing orders and still have lots to do, but determined to get them all finished by early December! :D

The image stamp I've used is from Lili Of The Valley, stamped with a Versafine ink pad onto Botanical Ultra Smooth watercolour paper. 

I've painted with my Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils and a wee bit of gold handmade watercolour paint.

Next I ink blended with a couple of Distress Oxide inks and splattered with white acrylic paint for the snowfall effect.

The branch background stamp is from Penny Black Inc, also stamped with a Versafine ink pad.

The sentiment die is from Pretty Pink Posh, which I've die cut four times and layered for depth.

For the finishing touches I've used white texture paste and Diamond Dust Twinklets for the snow, some white Flower Soft on her hat and scarf and a wee heart embellishment above the 'i'.

Thank you for visiting today, stay safe.

Angelic Christmas

 Hello everyone!

I've been busy crafting for Christmas today, about time really! 

The first two cards are using stamps from Hello Bluebird, stamped using Distress Ink and Ink on 3 ink pads. I then painted them with my Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils, some gorgeous sparkly gold watercolour paint and also some pale pearlescent paint, both of which unfortunately hasn't shown up very well in the photos.

I ink blended around the images with a Distress Oxide ink pad in the colour Antique Linen.

To finish off, the sentiment stamps are a variety from Hello Bluebird, Penny Black Inc and Simon Says Stamp, I stamped these with a Versafine ink pad.

Thank you for visiting today :)
