Blogging Break

Hi, Just wanted to say I`ll be away from my blog for the next few weeks, I have a guest staying with me for a short while then I will be changing rooms around and putting my new craft room together, decorating my bedroom and getting a new carpet laid etc. So I won`t have much time for crafting. Hopefully I`ll be back with a renewed vigour for crafting once my new craft room is up and running (I must say I`m not looking forward to shifting my craft stash, I`ll probably find things I haven`t seen for years LOL!)

So bye for now, be back soon xxx

Thanks a Bunch

I found this one in my picture file, a sample I`d done for Sir Stampalot a little while ago which got missed somewhere along the line! Anyway here it is ....



The stamp is Penny Black "Frolic" available from Sir Stampalot I`ve coloured with Distress inks and markers. The papers are MME - Quite Contrary and Basic Grey - Hopscotch. The pearl border is self adhesive from Woodware.



I stamped the little butterflies again and cut them out and added a bit of 3D glue gel for dimension and added hobby house 3mm pearls to the flower middles. The sentiment is from Art Impressions set 2903 all available from Sir Stampalot.

I`d like to enter this into the latest Allsorts Challenge which is " Fur and Feathers "

It`s going to be a scorcher here today, for once in England we are actually enjoying a Summer! so I`m off to the garden to make the most of it, thanks for looking in, bye for now and happy crafting xxx.

Tilly with Rose

Here is another Tilly card I`ve done for Sir Stampalot. This one is Tilly with Rose from Wild Rose Studios



I`ve coloured the image with distress inks and markers. The baking papers are Kaiser crafts and Graphic 45 patterns and solids. The roses are made from Tim Holtz - Tattered Pine Cone die and the large circle is from Grand Nestabilities - Stately Circles set.
The sentiment is Hero Arts - Mixed Messages set, all products available from Sir Stampalot.

Tillly with a Gift

Another Tilly card, this time I`ve gone for a clean and simple card as the image is so large and I actually resisted putting ribbons, flowers and other embellishments on it!



The image is Tilly with Gift available from Sir Stampalot. I`ve coloured with distress inks and markers, the papers are MME - Hazel 6" x 6" pad. The die is from DooHickey flag and cloud set and the mini buttons are woodware mini brads baby boy. The text is from an Art Impressions set-2903 also all available from Sir Stampalot.

I`d like to enter this into the Cupcake Craft challenge which is "Not for Flowers" Clean and Simple with no flowers or flower embellishments. This is certainly different for me because I love my flowers LOL!

Thanks for looking in, bye for now and happy crafting xxx

Tilly

Meet Tilly from Wild Rose Studios, isn`t she adorable?

The image is available from Sir Stampalot and that`s where this card is going.
I have coloured the image with distress inks and markers and added a bit of glossy accents to give her nose a healthy glow!

The papers are Magnolia - With Love - Dream Roses and I`ve used La La Land die - Heart Banner and Spellbinders die - Floral Ovals.
The sentiment comes with the stamp.

It`s a gorgeous sunny day here today so I`m going to make the most of the rest of it and sit in my garden, thanks for looking in, bye for now and happy crafting xxx

Bench Buddies

Here is a card I`ve made for my best friends birthday, it`s not until August but I`m trying to get ahead on all the years card making!



The image is from Stamping Bella - Uptown girls - Belinda and Bernadette the Bench Buddies, available from Quixotic Paperie. I love these stamps, most of them come with a sentiment too. I`ve coloured with distress inks and markers, the paper is from K&Co Watercolour Bouquet, flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and Magnolia and the die I have used for the easel shape is Grand Nestabilities Decorative Elements - Grand Stately Circles, available from Sir Stampalot.



I`d like to enter this into the following challenges - the new "A Creative Romance" challenge which is anything goes and
The "Paper Take Weekly" challenge which is anything goes with the optional extra of a non-square card.
