23rd December, 2016 A Sarah Kay Card.

Good afternoon, I have a pretty Sarah Kay card to show you today that was coloured in with distress inks, not my favourite but hopefully getting better.

The seam binding ribbon I dyed myself to try to get as near as possible to the large flower, in colour. The large flower was my very first attempt at using Foamiran.  For those who have not used it, it is pretty much in vogue at the moment.  I watched numerous YouTube videos and they were very helpful. However, tricky stuff to use as well as quite expensive, so may I suggest to tread carefully when using it so as not to waste any.  The little roses were from my stash and the colours tied in well with the colours on the Sarah Kay stamped image.

A closer peep at my first Foamiran flower.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas xx

15th December, 2016 A Birthday card for my daughter.

Hello , today I have a pretty birthday card to show you that I have made for my daughters birthday. She is a proper girly girl so thought this LOTV stamp would be most appropriate. I used Copics to colour this time. I added lots of pretty things, very pink seam binding ribbon, lovely flowers and lace.

The cardstock that I used was a real find.  My local pound shop was stocking lots of lovely packs of craft paper, all really good quality, so guess who grabbed as much as I could !

  The lovely flower die is another new one ( !) oh dear cannot resist !  It is from Joy Craft and I love it.  I added  a few pink roses across the flowers with dried ivory gypsophila .  Love the butterfly. I added lots of glitter to it's wings and some glass glitter to add that extra sparkle.

  Hope you enjoy looking at my latest creation. As mentioned before I am not aligned to any craft company, these are all my own thoughts and love that go into each card. Take care, and thank you for taking a peep.  
                                                         

5th December, 2016. Almost White on White LOTV Card Topper.

Hello, we are well into December and hopefully organised for Christmas. I have done most of my shopping, wrapped and ready to go under the tree.  Just the food to order, as everyone all coming to me this year, so will have a lovely house full of family, especially the little ones.

Today I would like to show you a LOTV almost white on white Christmas card topper that I have done, using a LOTV purchased image.  These are so pretty, and if like me, I have far too may LOTV rubber stamps, many not used, so it helps to keep the cost down and I can indulge in more !

The background card stock was a lovely new addition to my dies, by Marianne, Anja Frames, love it. I added some snowflakes, a hand made white flower and a filigree bow.  Not a great deal needed for this one, but I find it very pretty, hope you do also.

A peep at the white flower, of course, some glitter added to the petals.

Thank you for stopping by, happy crafting, xx
