A Field of Flowers

It's new release day at All dressed up stamps  and I was lucky enough to play with A field of flowers, she  reminds me of a little girl making snow angels but in a field of wild flowers, she is so cute. I coloured her with copics and used Memories Baby Blue for the sky and Distress ink Bundled Sage, Pine Needles and Twisted Citron for the grass using a Lawn Fawn Grassy Hillside stencil.. I found a little wooden ladybird in my bit box that I thought fitted perfectly.

Hedgehog Flower

Hi there, it's time for the New release over at All dressed up stamps and I got to play with Hedgehog flower and I loved every minute of it. I coloured with copics, made my own background paper with an Imagination Crafts stencil called Leaf Swirl and Distress ink Shabby Shutters, the leaves and Thanks are Die cuts. I needed a thank you card for one of my lovely customers, I took her new cushions back for her and her room is full of crochet, she had made scatter cushions, doilies, antimacassars , they were so beautiful and delicate. Before lockdown I taught myself to crochet using YouTube and now I'm addicted, every spare minute I get I have a hook in my hand, well after I had finished swooning over my customers work, a few days later a parcel arrived with two crochet pattern books in, they are amazing so I am now in the process of making a mandala wall hanging for our new log cabin, I will post some pictures when it is eventually done. So this is a Thank you card for my customer.

Duck Swim

Hi there, it's that time again, and this is one of my faves, the theme this month is 

" BE SQUARE"

As you have probably guessed by now I love my square cards, I do try occasionally to do a different shape, in fact a couple of weeks ago I ordered myself some DL dies, but I haven't plucked up courage to use them yet, I see everyone else's beautiful cards but when I sit in my craftroom I get no inspiration, guess a visit to pinterest is called for.

Well I have used all dressed up's new one called duck swim that I coloured with copics, and used Distress ink Salty Ocean, Scattered Straw, Rusty Hinge, Evergreen Bough and Mermaid Lagoon for the background.

Father and Daughter

 Hiya, I was very honored to be asked to make two cards.

A friend in the village had not had contact with his daughter for over twenty years, and before lockdown they managed to reunite.

His lovely wife asked me to make them a card each, so that when the cards were placed side by side they made one picture, and this is what I came up with.

I  used Distress inks for the background and some Clarity stamps I've had for years for the foliage, the trees, deer and birds were cut out of black card with some dies, the stag is four layers deep as I wanted him to stand out a bit.

The customer loved them, she wrote her own messages inside.

And Relax

Hi there, it's time for he New Releases at All dressed up stamps and I was lucky enough to get to play with And Relax she was very calming to colour. 

I made a mistake colouring the background, I put my clouds on upside down, so I fussy cut her out and made a new background out of watercolour paper and distress inks, to be totally honest I much prefer this background any way, a Happy Accident. The image I coloured with copics.

Stampscapes Dad

Hiya, I hope your all enjoying the warm weather, I've been missing in action for a while, my craft room is in the attic bedroom which gets the afternoon and evening sun, it is gorgeous in the winter but unbearable in this heat, so I've been vegetating down stairs with my crochet.

I made this card last week when I was feeling a bit nostalgic with my rubber stamps. 

I've used Stampscapes inc. Country chapel set for this Father's Day card, distress ink background on glossy card. The kraft paper is from a 12x12 set from The Works.

Hope you have a great weekend, doing whatever your doing in the lockdown, and stay safe.

Two Little Fairy Mice

We have some wonderful new releases at All dressed up stamps this month,

I was lucky enough to play with two-little-fairy-mice I loved these with there stripy leggings and fluffy skirts. I used some glitter pens on the wings which has given them a lot of sparkle in real life but not on the photo that I'm afraid I took at eight o'clock last night, I know I'm not organised at all this month. I made the backing paper with stormy skies distress ink and a cloud template i made, the rest I coloured with copics.

New Home

Hi there, well it's a very wet Sunday afternoon here, so I'm upstairs playing in my craft room. 

When I was a young girl (many many years ago now) when it was raining so hard that the raindrops were bouncing in the puddles, my Mum always announced "It's colouring book weather, get your pens out" so I need no excuse to do the same today.

This is a card I made for a friends daughter, Helen and her partner Justin have just moved into their new home together. I have had this stamp for years it's called Crowns and Castles 4 from paperartsy I believe it's been discontinued now as I couldn't find it on their website.

I coloured it with copics and used salty ocean distress ink on the sky

Love you to the stars and back

Hi, we have a new FaceBook challenge for you starting today, and the theme is,

"YOUR FAVORITE COLOUR"

I must say at the moment I'm loving Chartreuse, I'm not normally a green person, but this is quite zingy, and it stands out really well against the night sky I created using Distress Inks, the glitter card is from B&M and the best I've ever used, I just wish there was more colours. I coloured with copics, a gel pen on the LOVE word and tiny gems on the stars, I thought this would make a cracking Father's Day card from a little one, so it's destined to go to the shop I supply. 

The image used is All dressed up stamps wonderful Stars and Back.

Beach Time

Hi there, it certainly feels like Beach Time today, after the thunderstorm from last night it's a beautiful day today, had a lovely ride out this morning (Sunday), just me and my dog singing along to the radio, we went to see my parents for the morning, back home then off to the garden center, cause whilst I was away my hubby made himself some window boxes for his man shed and we needed some plants to go in them. Now I'm being mega organised and typing my blog up whilst the roast is in, smells delicious.

We have a new release from All dressed up stamps this one is called Beach Time that I coloured with copics, used 3D laquer on the sunglass, phone and drink, the sky was done with Salty Ocean Distress Ink.
