Tilda in Blue~

Hiya All,

Feels like ages since I made a card with a Magnolia image. I have had this stamp for sometime now (March last year) and have only inked her up once, so couldn't wait to use her when I saw this lovely sketch at MDUC.
I don't often use these sort of roses/flowers on my cards, feel they are far too bulky, especially if you want to send the card to someone, I find it will not fit the envelope and being a lazy crafter! I cannot be bothered making a box envelope. I usually use a punched flower, like a NS or MS, I find these are fine and will squash down in the envelope.




Back to the card. Its made with some Basic Grey papers, June Bug they are called. A little basket shaped button, flowers and ribbon from my stash. Coloured with pro-markers.
It is a bit busy for me, I defiantly prefer the less is more look, but don't dislike it, just feels it's a bit OTT. LOL

Anyone for Anya?

Hi Folks,

What a nice day today (weather wise), thought it was supposed to be rather icy, so was pleasantly surprised to see the sun, mind you it was still cold, but at least there was no white stuff!!

Tonight I have made a card using a GF stamp, think this one is called "Snuggle". I bought this a while ago now, and have only inked it once, I think it's so sweet and girly.
The DP I have used is a Bo Bunny's Back to Backs, this paper is called "Persuasion" and I have used both sides to create the 4 squares on the front, I love this sketch by Card Patterns, so this one was easy for me. I have distressed the papers a bit with a file and used a Nestie Tag for the rub-on sentiment. Image is coloured with Pro-markers.
I am off now to watch a film with Hubby. I don't watch soaps and I am not that keen on The Ice thing! So a Blu-Ray is on the books (got about 10 at Christmas, so lots to choose from).

Happy Anniversary To Us~

Hiya All~

It is our 26th Wedding Anniversary on January 12th. I know it's a strange time of year to get married, especially in this country when the weather is so appalling at that time of year however, but there was method in our madness......We are both skiers, or WERE both skiers...We loved our skiing so much that we even took a skiing Honeymoon in Austria!! I know...weird!

I did not have a clue what image to use on my hubby Chris's card. I looked through all the stamps I had, and did find a nice couple clanking glasses together, but I just did not want to use it. Then I spotted this pair of ducks I bought in September and have not inked up yet, it's a Penny Black Slapstick stamp, I think it is perfect for an Anniversary card, do you?
I think Chris and I could be those two ducks, I am the one on the left of cause!!




I have followed the lovely sketch on Crafts 4 Eternity, and the colours I have used are one of my favorite combinations ~ green and brown. The papers used are a mix of all my old bits and bobs, the heart punch is a MS, I have added a GF "love" sentiment and a Card Candy blob!

I was also going to enter this card for the Phindy's Place Challenge blog, BUT It's theme is "Food and Drink" and I thought entering yummy DUCK was just too cruel!!! Lol

Smile for me~

Hello Folks~

I have had a very busy day considering it's my day off work, I can usually have a bit of a chill out in the afternoon! Alas not today.




Tonight I have had a little play with another of my new Pergamano stamps (told you I would be back with more!!)
Anyway I have used this New stamp + some New papers by Bare Elements, these papers are lovely, they all have distressed edges and words on them.
I have followed a sketch from The Pixie Cottage and have used a MS edge punch, a GF Sentiment with Smile on, and one of my stash buttons.

Special Fairy~

Tonights card is made using my New Images by Pergamano. Set 1 and 2 of Fairies.
I already have a set of Pergamano cling stamps in a different design and I find them very delicate and nice and easy to use. I used to think I was not a "fairy" sort of person, but I have realised lately when looking through my stamps that I have several different ones.




I am using up all my bits and bobs of paper, so no idea the make of what these are sorry. To colour the image I have used a mix of Pro-Markers and Copics, my Nestie ovals have come out again and my card size is one of my favorites...6x6.
The punch is one of my new ones from QVC, Hobbyhouse Gems and a WRMK rub on Sentiment. There are 6 of these fairies, so prepare to be fed up with me using them by the end of the month!! Lol
