Birthday Girl

Hello

My little card today was for my niece, there was a lot of die cutting for this one but I think it was worth the effort.

 Some of the stamps and dies were un-branded and some were from a magazine and I’ve since bought some branded ones along with the dies.

Coloured with Promarkers and zig Clean Colors Real Brushes . 

Thanks for your visit, I really do appreciate it!

 

Happy Gardening!

 

Good morning all!

Sorry I've been a bit  awol, hubby on holiday and we've been in the garden everyday, trying to level a part of the garden where he wants to put a pond!

 

Here is my little shaker card which will be given to an aunty who loves her garden.

Papers were from a Peter Rabbit Mag and the stamped images came with another magazine.

 

Thanks for visiting I really do appreciate it!

ATC's

Hello

Well, the weather is still a bit strange isn’t it, I’m sure this time last year we were having a heatwave!

The last couple of days have been ok and I’ve ben able to get outside for a couple of hours.

Sharing some more ATC’s with you, most of these were for swaps but the doodles ones were sent as RAK’s.

 

Lots of different mediums used, with lots of inkiness and stamps.

Thanks for your visit I really do appreciate!

 

Sister

Hello

 Another week gone by and its nearly April, I don't know where the weeks are going!

We've moved our holiday again to June next year, will we ever get it and really hoping that the September holiday can go ahead because I haven't seen my sister in two years now.

 Talking about said sister who lives on Kos, these are the cards I've sent over to them. I really hope they get there it's very hit and miss and was even before Covid!

My first card for my BIL followed one of layout challenges, image is SU and the greeting Phill Martin with some DP, stamped and coloured with distress inks.

Sister’s card was made awhile ago and not sure if I’ve shared but I created the background by inking through a stencil and then created a frame and stamped an image that came with Simply Cards and Papercraft and a little bee, with some JND butterflies, using distress inks and Zig Real Colour.

  

Thanks for your visit it is very much appreciated!

 

Sketches

Hello

I had my first jab yesterday, didn’t feel a thing, I haven’t got many side effects, just my joints feel a little stiffer than usual and perhaps a headache that comes and goes.

 

My cards today are from our WhatsApp group, we haven’t met since last March so we’ve kept in touch via WhatsApp with weekly sketches. Here is some of them.

Thanks for your visit, I really do appreciate it!

 

 Hello

Well I don't know about you but I'm fed up of the rain now!

Painting done, had a couple of selections of flooring but as usual struggling what colour to have, not sure if any of you have heard of a floor product called Kardean, well that's what we are having in the living room but with a wooden floor effect but we can't choose between lightish oak or darkish oak... what are we like. When we do finally choose I hope it can be down for Christmas!

So on to my card, it was a friends anniversary in September and this is the card I made for them.

The stamps were free with a magazines and the papers were from Lily of the Valley which they don't do any more only via digi and I'm not keen on digi papers. Coloured with Zig Clean Colour and Christina Griffiths dies.

As usual thanks for your visit!

Hydrangea

Hello All

Sharing some more cards made with the freebies from simply cards and papercraft from a few months back. 

This time using the stamps, coloured with prisma pencils with some matting and layering in different colours.

As always thanks for your visit!

Butterflies

Hello All

Hope you are enjoying the sunshine, summer will soon be here!

These little cards were created with a free butterfly die from a mag and brushos for the background.

I die cut the shapes of the butterfly and then put the butterfly back in. 

The greeting was also a freebie from another mag.

Glad you liked yours Lis.

As always thanks for your visit, I really do appreciate it!

 

Hydrangea

Hello All

Hope you're enjoying the rain! Monday was beautiful here, which made up for the rain all day Sunday.

While out shopping on Friday I brought Simply cards and Papercraft, been umming and ahhing whether to buy it for a week because I tend to buy and never use the freebies but so glad I did.

I had a lovely day playing Sunday, well I couldn't do anything else with all that rain...lol and there are a few more to come!

I've been admiring the die on the second card for a while, as I keep seeing Janice make some gorgeous cards, which you can see an example here, so thanks Janice for helping me spend my pennies...lol

I used my trustee distress inks and prisma pencils on the butterflies.

As always thanks for your visit, I really do appreciate it!
