Rose's Garden

Hello, today I have a card made with one of my older stamps from Stampavie by Sara Kay called Rose's Garden.  The image has been coloured with Copics.

The paper is from a pad called Princess Fairytale by Dovecraft.  The die is one of the new SB D-lites called Asters and Poppies and this is the Poppy.

Yee Haa!

Hello, today I have a card using mostly LOTV products.  The image is one of their Boys/Men rubber stamps called Yee Haa! and the backing paper is from one of their paper pads with NitWits called Candles and Cake.  

I had half a mind to use this card for their weekly challenge "Spots and Stripes" but by the time it was finished, the link was closed so I placed it in reserve.  Ah well!!

Pink Diamante

Hello, today I have another image from a Chocolate Baroque set called Diamante Delights which has been coloured with PMs and glitter pens with a bit of Stickles in the centre.

The butterfly paper is from a Prima Reflections pad and I have used Memory Box dies for the butterfly.

I am back!

Hello everyone - my project is completed and I can now get crafting again, I have missed it and your lovely creations so much.  

Thank you all for your lovely comments on my Spitfire - it does go to show that I am my own worst critic!

My first card is made with some of the new Heartfelt Creations release Sun Kissed Fleurs. This was made at the same time as the Spitfire and I wasn't entirely happy with the distressing on this one either and I felt I was having an off day but my Mum loves it.  I think these HC papers are beautiful.

Here I have used the backing paper and one of the Sun Kissed Fleurs Swirls.  It has been embossed with gold powder and coloured with Flexis.

Blog Break

Hello, I have to take a break from my blog for a while because a project which I started back in September last year now needs completion and I am not finding enough time to make cards which is why I am posting infrequently.

I hope you will all continue to visit from time to time as I will be back in due course and I will catch up with all your lovely creations upon my return.

Spitfire

Hello, today I have a Father's Day card which uses a stamp from Stamps Away called Spitfire.  I am not entirely happy with it because a) the image slipped on the mat so the left margin is thicker and b) the distressing doesn't look right in the photo although IRL it looks OK.  

I am thinking about removing the image altogether and redoing it - I will see how easy that is!

The stars are MB dies and the paper is by Maja and from Life in the Country.
