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 :)

Snappy Birthday

 Hi everyone!

Another month has disappeared somewhere! I do love autumn though  :)

Onto my card, I decided to make this a fun shaker one. The fab crocodile stamps are from Heffy Doodle, I stamped them onto Botanical Ultra Smooth watercolour paper with an Archival ink pad.

I painted the crocs with Distress Inks, fussy cut them out and added 3D foam pads on the back of them.

I then die cut the 'Happy Birthday' out of plain white cardstock, stuck acetate on the back, then carefully stuck down all the middle bits from the die cut on to the front of the acetate. I then added 3D fun foam on the back, filled with sprinkles and stars and stuck a piece of cardstock on (which I ink blended with Distress Oxide in the colour Wilted Violet).

I then ink blended the front with Distress Oxide in the colour Squeezed Lemonade, popped the crocs on and a few stars and voila! Oh and I added a wee bit of sparkle with my Wink Of Stella pen :)

Inhale The Future

 Hello everyone!

I'm back with another card and another rainbow! :D  

I stamped the image, which is from Stamping Bella, with an Archival ink pad onto Botanical Ultra Smooth watercolour card, painted it and the rainbow with my new Mijello Mission Gold watercolours. 

I then used a Distress Oxide ink pad in the colour Tumbled Glass for a few stencilled clouds and blended with it around the image.

For the finishing touches I added some shimmer with a Wink Of Stella pen, glued a few wee stars on and stamped the sentiment with the same Archival ink pad. And voila! Another card finished! :)

Baby Shower

 Hi everyone!

My sister called me on Saturday night in a flap because she couldn't find a baby shower card anywhere and needed one for the next day! What on earth do you put on a baby shower card? Anyhoo, eventually this design popped into my head, probably because there's rainbows everywhere at the moment ;D

So to start with I painted a rainbow! :D  I then used a cloud stencil from My Favorite Things with a Distress Oxide ink pad in the colour Tumbled Glass. 

The word die is from Marianne Design, which I die cut four times and layered for depth and the letter stamps are from Stampin' Up.

For the finishing touch I added some wee coloured clay hearts as a kind of 'shower' effect :)

Thank you for visiting today.

80 Wishes

 Hi everyone

Not sure what happened to August!? Anyhoo, I needed to make a special big birthday card for today, so as always I was making it last minute yesterday! ;D

The big number templates I've had ages are from Craftwork Cards, which I drew around and watercoloured with my Distress Inks. The flower and leaf stamps are from Cardio-Majestix, I stamped these using Versa Color ink pads. And the cute wee dragonflies are from Pretty Pink Posh, I painted these with Distress Inks and pearlescent paint from Altenew. 

The sweet dragonfly stamps are also available in my papercraft shop HERE.

Thank you for visiting today :)

Birthday Roses

Hi everyone!

It was my Dad's birthday on Sunday and this is card I made him, slightly different to what I first had in mind but men like flowers too right?

The stamp is from Penny Black Inc, which I stamped with a Distress Ink 'Antique Linen' ink pad onto Botanical ultra smooth watercolour card and also painted with Distress Inks. I then stamped and embossed the 'Dad' sentiment with a Versamark ink pad and silver embossing powder, then decided to go over that with silver Stickles glitter glue. The 'Happy Birthday' stamp was stamped with a Memento ink pad.

For the finishing touch I die cut three tiny butterflies, painted them with a shimmery purple watercolour paint and stuck them on :D

Thank you for visiting today.

Pretty Peony

Hi everyone!

I hope you're all well. I fancied painting this fabulous and massive stamp from The Ton. It took a good couple of hours! I used Distress Inks to watercolour, some gold watercolour paint and a wee bit of coloured pencil on top for a bit more shading.

I then decided to emboss the edges with gold embossing powder. I was going to pop a sentiment on there too but I changed my mind ;D

Thank you for visiting today.
