Card for Darlene


Darlene bought me this stamp and the small bird too so I thought I should make her a card with it. I used the pro markers to colour it I am getting quite used to them, very easy to use but have not cracked shading with them yet, am trying though

Made from my mess



Doing a monthly challenge on KC and this month it is to make something out of the mess we make when we are making backgrounds or whatever. We are all good at making a mess and sometimes it is a shame to bin it when you can makes something out of it. Any how hope you like what I have done

KC resist challenge


These are my effort for the resist, unfortunately it does not show up well on the scan
. We had to make a card and a bookmark, the figure stamps are paper artsy and the trees and flowers are Elusive images

Wax resist

This was done for a challenge on one of the groups I am on, it is were you scrunch up wax paper then IRON ( forbidden word) onto glossy card stock then go over it with inks, you can get some really good effects with this. Was the first time I had done it and was quite pleased as I did it right for once

New stamp


Surprise surprise, I have got a new stamp, isn't she lovely. Have stamped her on a alcohol ink background, which doesn't look too bad. The stamp is from Stampattack, fell in love with her as soon as I saw her.

September challenge on KC


This is the card I have done for the challenge, the stamp is jozart from stampattack, lovely cheeky little face she has.
The challenge is called spotlight you can see why when you look at it, you spotlight just part of the stamp, some thing a bit different

Serindipity cards


These are cards I made for a challenge, well 2 challenges really one was the star challenge and the other serendipity, so have to admit I cheated and combined the two, the other card is what I made with bits left over from the first one and most likely have enough for yet another card.
I had forgot how good using your scraps could look it is so long since I had done this

Card for my Nephew

Just made this for my Nephew, it is his birthday today. I always struggle for men cards unless it is my Hubby can make him a cheeky one as he doesn't mind.
The stamp is from I brakeforstamps, love her images of the cowboys and the Indians, sounds like a movie.
Can't get on as often as I would like as it is school hol's I seem as if I am always minding the Grandkids, love them to bits but too tired for crafting when they have gone. Well that is my excuse and am sticking to it

I had a tag published in Rubber Stamp Madness and these plus some others were a gift from Della at I Brake for stamps. I was so chuffed to get published as never done anything like this before.
Anyhow made this today from 2 of the stamps hope you like it

Monkey business


Got this stamp off a friend and have just made this. Right up my street. Had to post it, mind I could of wrote something quite different on

Printed background


Just got this CD and must admit I love it, it is backgrounds but a lot more besides, so when I can't get the effect I want I can print it. The stamp is a sugar nellie and I have coloured it with my Promarkers, still getting used to them I have always used felt tips. Love the way they blend together

Sort of recycling again


Wish I could spell, anyway made this card out of something my daughter was putting in the bin. The hand made paper and you know me hate to waste, The centre image is mounted on silver mirrow board but it never show up on a scan does it. The stamp was a gift from a dear friend. I think the company is artistic outpost, there are some nice bird stamps on the plate too

Card I made for a friend

I made this for a friends birthday, can upload it now as she has got it, her favourite colour is blue, so this is what I come up with. I am pleased to say she liked it, can't remember where I got the Betty boop stamps. The cake is Magnolia and the background stam is I brakeforstamps, the words are stamping up I think

Blue and white

Love these colours together, the scan is not brill, but never mind. The stamps used are Judikins and the background is shaving foam which I have never tried before and must admit I like the effect.

Delicate card


The scan does not show this card great as it is very shimmery, I made it at a friends shop when I was on holiday at another friends and it was easy to make but just looks lovely I think anyway. We stamped in versamark then brushed shimmer dust over. then made the butterfly seperate and attached it to the ribbon.
