Thumbs up!

Hi peeps I haven't posted or created anything for over a week as I disclocated and fractured my thumb whilst out walking my dog Jude! I tripped and fell ( I shall take more water with it in future ) I saw the doc again today and he gave me the good news that I don't need surgery ( as was first thought! ) and have to go back in 2 weeks to have my cast removed and I should be able to start using it again

I just had to post today to let you know of some fantastic blog candy ( see picture ) my dear sister Sally has up for grabs please go visit her fab blog here

Tilda in Swimsuit

It's a while since I did the Stamp Something challenge and this weeks theme is 'summer somethings' so I used a Tilda stamp I've not used before from Magnolia Party and Vacation range, and coloured with my trusty ws. wax crayons. the background is Basic grey paper and Co-orditions card trimmed with my long rectangle Nestability die. I added some little pearl gems along the edge and a few buttons to finish. thanks for looking xx

Tilda on Pony

My final Tilda fatbook page for the swap Yeah! Coloured with ws crayons Background paper from Papertrey Ink. As was the flower stamps which I stamped with Versamagic and cut out. I added some aurora borealis gems and ribbon to complete. Thanks for stopping by xx

Coffee House

Another house for HCA swap. I used my fab new 'Coffee and Friends' stamp set from Flourishes. Papers were from Cosmo Cricket and I embossed the images with black, gold and white embossing powder.Bottom of house is trimmed with card cut with my Nestability long rectangle on my Cuttlebug.

A Pink House!

Another little house for the swap this time I coloured the house with a rose red Copic marker (R85) then dripped alcohol blending soloution on to it. A touch of pink ws crayon on the window panes. I stamped and embossed the leaves and cat and Voila! Done! And ... I only spoiled one house this time!! Thanks for looking xx

My First House

Front of house


Back of house

I am priviledged to be on a lovely friendly little forum where there is much talent and I bravely agreed to join the house swap. So, I have to make 10 of these ickle house they have to measure approx 5 x 3 1/2 inches and include some rubber stamping and we can decorate them as we see fit. Well I cut out 4 houses but only managed to finish 1 I ruined the other 3! I used distress inks dusty concorde and blue china direct to paper I got the idea of using the tag as a door from this months Craft Stamper and a photo turn from 7 gypsies then stuck on a no.5. the template for the house came from Dan it's his own design - isn't he wonderful?
I hope the recipient likes it - 1 down - 9 to go! thanks for looking xx

A Quick Card

Here is a card I made a few weeks ago for a male friend. I used a torn piece of whisper white paper stamped with sanded fron SU and inked the edges. I stamped up a large shadow stamp with shade of teals greens and pale yellow versacolor inkpads for the background and spritzed with gold glimmer mist, then 'painted' the flower stamp with 2 shades of teal Whisper marker pens and spritzed with water and stamped on to the background,and a little stickles in the centre, I quite like the effect. Thanks for looking xx

Friendship

Hels has extended the Tags swap for July so here is another I my made. I inked the background with some versacolour pads using direct to paper technique and stamped flowers using various shades of blue/green and vanilla, then stamped the script with Stazon black and embossed sentiment with detail gold. Added some felt flowers and brads. thanks for looking xx

I stamped the images using Stazon and coloured with WS crayons then I mounted the sheep on card cut and embossed with Nestabillities ( which I love ) then I cut out the face and added glossy accents 3 times - No! four times!!! I just could keep my fingers of it and smudged it 3 times!! I cut a the patterend paper with my Fiskars shape cutter - though most of it is hidden and added some ribbon. Thanks for stopping by xx
