Thinking Of You

 Hi everyone!

It's gonna be very hot today, we're already starting to melt! Perfect day to sit and colour I say. Anyhoo, I made this card for Dad-in-law for Father's Day last week and I really enjoyed colouring this stamp in. I decided to make the bird look like a Blue Tit as they're so pretty with their blue, yellow and green colours.

This was my Father's Day card for my Dad who loves coffee, so these sweeties were the perfect stamp set! They're from Anita Jeram @ Colorado Craft Co and I think I've bought nearly all her sets so expect more cute cards like this soon!

I stamped the images with my Vintage Sepia Versafine ink pad on to Botanical Ultra Smooth watercolour paper and coloured with my Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer pencils.

 Hi everyone!

Wow! What fantastic weather! And it's a Bank Holiday!!! Lol! 

So I'm back with another adorable Penny Black hedgie and made this card exactly the same way as my previous one, except I chose blues for this card. I used Distress Oxide in the colour Speckled Egg and stamped the sentiment with Versafine in the colour Deep Lagoon.

Hedgie Bunch

 Hi everyone!

It's Bank Holiday weekend! Yay! And monsoon season is over! Double yay! Lol! And I have a hedgie card!

So, I started off by ink blending some Distress Oxide (Dried Marigold) in a kind of oval shape, then splattered this with the same ink and Perfect Pearls.

I then used a stencil with Nuvo Embellishment Mousse over the top.

I stamped the gorgeous hedgie from Penny Black on to Botanical Ultra Smooth watercolour paper with a Versafine (Vintage Sepia) ink pad and painted with my Caran D'Ache Supracolor pencils, fussy cut it out and applied 3D foam pads on the back.

I stamped the sentiment with a Versafine (Habanero) ink pad and then popped a few gems on for sparkle, oh and added Stickles Glitter Glue on the image too.

 Thank you for visiting today and have a fab weekend everyone!

Very Valentiny

Hi everyone!

Two card posts in one week! Quite a rarity these days! Lol! So on to my card order for a valentines featuring a T-Rex and an English Bull Terrier! And fortunately I had stamps to match that combination! 

The T-Rex is from Heffy Doodle and the dog is from Stamping Bella. The other wee images are from Pretty Pink Posh. I stamped all the images with a Versafine ink pad onto Botanical Ultra Smooth watercolour paper and painted them with Mijello Mission Gold paints and Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer pencils.

For the background I stamped the large 'love' sentiment onto watercolour papper with a Versamark ink pad and embossed with silver embossing powder. I then used the matching die and cut it from a piece of cold pressed watercolour paper, which I had painted purple and stencilled with a purple ink pad.

For the shaker part, I glued acetate on the back of the panel and filled with some clear heart embellishments. 

I stamped the sentiment onto red card with Versamark ink and embossed it with white embossing powder.

Then for the finishing touches, I used Stickles glitter glue on some of the stencilling and the doggy's collar, dotted about with Nuvo Crystal Drops and I used Glossy Accents to give the doggy a shiney eye and nose.

Products I have used that you can find in my store:

Pretty Pink Posh 'Love' clear stamps

Pretty Pink Posh 'Love' background stencil

Thank You Hedgies

 Hi everyone!

So we're heading in to lockdown number three! At least the days are getting longer, always try and look on the bright side! :D

My first cards of the year are featuring some super cute hedgies from Penny Black Inc. I kept these very simple as they are only 4 x 4 inches square.

I stamped the hedgies on to Botanical Ultra Smooth watercolour paper with a Versafine ink pad. I then painted them with my Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils.

I ink blended around them with Distress Oxide ink pads in the colours Shaded Lilac, Spun Sugar and Speckled Egg.

The stamped sentiment is from Clearly Besotted and for the finishing touches I used my Wink Of Stella pen on the presents and glued a wee clay heart on each card too.

I've also made a video for these cards which you can find HERE.

Thank you for visiting today.
