Bluebells

I sponged the backrounds of this card with brilliance inkpads and stamped bluebells with versafine, colored them with H2Os. I used glossy accents on the flower heads. The birds were stamped and embossed on printed paper and cut out and adhered with silicone glue to give them some dimenson. It is on a five inch square white card but you can hardly see it so it looks like it's floating! Thanks for visiting xx

Card for a Friend

The stamp of lady in Cloched hat is one of the first stamps I bought a couple of years ago and every now and then I bring her out and give her an airing. I coloured her with my new Copics markers. thanks for stopping by xx

Black and White

This weeks theme on the Tilda & Co challenge blog is black and white. I have enjoyed looking at peeps entries on their blogs and the design teams' and thought I'd join in as I love Tilda in B&W. I stamped one of my favourite images of Tilda in Stazon and was going to colour her in a black marker but couldn't find one ( typical of me)! So I used my trusted ws wax crayons, it was then I wished she didn't have so much hair -trying to do shades of black with out aging her 50 years! I used a downloaded template from my computer for the printed paper background and cut it out. I stitched round Tilda with black quilting thread as it's thicker. added black gemstone stars to her wings and punched out some flowers and a couple of Quickut photo corners. Hope you like her it's one of my fave Tildas I've made. thanks for looking xx

CAT

This weeeks Sunday Stampers challenge is cats. So, I got out my Aud design cat stamp and stamped with Brilliance graphite black, coloured with copic markers then masked and sponged with Stampin up inks as I did on the 'First Something card which, was then sprayed with Glimmer mist pearl which doesn't show up on the scan too well. 'For You' was cut on my Crickut and the printed background paper is from Crafty Individuals Thanks for looking xx

Quick Card

This was a very quick card to make I stamped background with Stampin Up stamp and Vintage Photo ink, which I also edged the card with. I cut random strips of K&Co paper and stuck down Matt and layered the Happy birthday which was stamped and embossed with gold EP and Bobs your uncle!! xx

First Something

This is my 'first something' for this weeks challenge on the new Stamp Something challenge blog. The challenge is to stamp something or use something for the first time. Or, it could also be a new theme you've not done before. Well I decided to stamp on acetate for the first time - mistake!!! I used up all my acetate and they were all rubbish. So I decided to use some of my new stash. I used my new Stampin Up inks in Barley Banana, Sage Shadow, and Bashful Blue for the background, ( these were so easy to blend - I love them! )then I added a touch of Dusty concord distress ink and then, I put it through my Cuttle bug with my new Distressed stripes embossing folder, then I rubbed over it lightly with Dusty Concord. I stamped and embossed the birds on left over bits of background and inked up some embelishments from Embeliscrap, I stamped and added a little tag that came from AUD designs. Hope you like my effort thanks for looking. xx

Lucky

Last week I was lucky enough to win Stampin Up candy from Amandas' blog. Amanda is one of the UKs first Stampin up demonstrators and gave away the candy to celebrate her reaching 1000 posts . So, a big thankyou Amanda. I took a photo of my goodies but decided to use Amanda piccie as it's better then mine xx

Trio of Triangles

I 'lifted' the design of these cards from a fantastic triangle card I saw on StampimpingMatihildas blog.
