What is happening!

Hi All

I hope your day is going well.

I am not too sure what is happening to me!

As you know I love stamps and ink only but today somehow I wanted to colour and then this led me to making a shaker.....which I have only made one before and I get in a real pickle trying to do them. However this turned out not so bad!

I coloured the Uniko flower using the colours from Just Us Girls and even had a go at adding detail with a white gel pen (a pressie for my Birthday from hubby) but have no idea how to do this so will be asking Nonni how to do this as she is the expert!

Then had to hunt for some acetate to make the shaker!

Oh well....way out of my comfort zone but a change and fun!

Be The Wild Flower!

Hi All

I don't usually post twice in one day but have been a bit more crafty today than normal...2 cards in one day is a lot for me!

Here is what I made inspired by the challenges below and my dear crafty friend Anita's card here. I am the lucky owner of her striped card and just had to do my own version-thank you Anita for the inspiration.

I have used Funky Fossil's stamp set 'In the Meadows' and Uniko's Background blocks stamp set.

The challenges that inspired this are:

As you Like It Challenge-your favourite colour with purple-well I just love yellow with purple as I am sure many of you know!

Fusion-I went with the sketch and one of the colours from the photo.

Uniko Challenge-AG-I went with option of Bright and Happy!

That's me for today and hope you had a good one x

       

You are all Beautiful to me!

Hi All

And a very Happy Weekend to you!

Here is a card I made with the new stamps I got from Funky Fossil Designs

I based this layout on CAS(E) This Sketch and also for AAA Cards-use a third, option not taken.

Have a super day my crafty friends x

    

You Are A Star!

Hi All

I was inspired to try layering stencils after I saw Darnell try it here. I loved how her card turned out and as I have just got into stencilling I thought I would try layering them! Thanks for the inspiration Darnell! This is the theme at CAS Stencil Challenge

Here is what I came up with:

I was inspired to use these colours after I saw the photo at Fusion this week. I love how these colours blend and tried using the same but sponging with distress inks with this 'spotlight' stencil from Funky Fossil Designs. I then layered up the star stencil and just used a section of it-stencil also from Funky Fossil.

I had to hunt for this sentiment from The Ton Stamps but I knew it would fit perfectly.

My first go at layering stencils but I do like how it turned out!

This spotlight stencil only arrived yesterday so I will enter it into Darnell's NBUS

You are all stars to me!

Enjoy your day x

    

More Christmas!

Hi All

Another Christmas card for you:

The die is from Penny Black. And the sentiment from Uniko

I made this with the colours from Color Throw down but didn't realise that it was the colours from last week!

I used the sketch at CAS Colour and Sketches for my layout-using the score lines as part of this.

I will also enter this into Addicted to Stamps and More-CAS

Have a good day x

Happy Memories!

Hi All

I love using cream and white together and this is the colour challenge at Less is More this week-so had to play along.

I made a sympathy card. Always good to have some but in the hope you don't have to use them. Cream and white seem perfect for this type of card.

I used subtle embossed base card and then used a white panel popped up. I stamped the flowers from CAS-ual Fridays-this set is now retired but I just love it. I then cut just one of the flower dies in cream embossed card and also popped this up.

I really like this sentiment (from a retired company) for sympathy card as I think it makes you focus on the good times and these I hope will bring comfort.

I know this card looks simple but it took ages! I have to run up and downstairs as hubby now works at home and my craft stuff is in different places as we don't have the space-It drives me a bit crazy but in these strange times we just have to adapt.

Crafting may take longer but needs must!

You all have a good day and a Happy Mother's Day to all you Mum's celebrating it across the pond!
