Christmas

Hello All

Hope you are well?

Thought it about time I shared some Christmas cards. 

Very basic using backing papers, ribbon and Tonic snowman on Kraft card.

As always thanks for your visit.

Brothers

Hi All

Sharing the cards I made for both brothers, one in October and one November. 

Both using free gifts from the same mag and I can't remember which one, also used SW and Tonic dies along with my beloved distress inks...lol

Many thanks for visiting x

Fairies

Hello All

Just sharing a few fairy cards I've made.

 I masked off to create the strip and sprinkled the brushos on. Then stamped my images and used distress inks around the images.

A mixture of Lavinia and Inkylicious stamps.

As always thanks for your visit, it is much appreciated.

New Home

Hello All

The last half of this year has been really busy for new home cards, I've never made so many.

The first two are for nieces on both sides but I can now see that the red one is slightly wonky didn't look that bad in the flesh...lol

The third one was for our new neighbours who moved in the weekend, I used a new stamp by Lavinia that I picked up at the NEC.

I enjoyed the NEC this year but that might be because it didn't seem so busy but then at £16 for parking what do they expect and one of the exhibitors told me it might be going up to £20 which is really unbelievable! 

A friend  who'd never been before came along, she's only just getting in to crafting and she loved it, she was like a shaken bottle of pop...lol

Thank you all for you kind words regarding Frankie, I really appreciate it.

As always thanks for your visit x

Hello All

Just sharing a little card I made for one of my brother in laws back in August.

The stamp was from create stamping and papers from stash.

Good news bad news time.

So bad news is my beautiful Frankie was ran over and killed. I found her in the road and I'm heartbroken, she was developing a lovely character.

And the goods news is my brother in law is making a fantastic recovery, there is still a long way to go but he is definitely on the mend.

A always thanks for your visit, I really do appreciate it.

Brushos and Gilding Flakes

Helloooo

Well I had a day off yesterday (instead of my usual Monday).

On Sunday I'd been creating some backgrounds with Brushos and Pixie powders and wanted to see the effect gilding flakes had on it.  

I love my Brushos but find them a little flat so I have 3 pixie powders I use to lift them a little may add some more if I find the colours I want. Or should I try my Mica Powders?

I used French Foliage by SU, the Hello was a free stamp from Creative Stamping and Gilding Flakes, I found using the Honey Doo mixed media glue easier to use, I loved the self cleaning lid!

(Question: Does anyone know where to buy the self cleaning plastic bottles/lids from?)

Silver Gilding Flakes

Gold Gilding Flakes

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