27th June 2019 A Lovely Polkadoodle Mermaid.

Hi, good morning. At las the sun has decided to shine up here in South Yorkshire. Days and days of rain and so cold. Jumpers and cardigans on in June !  Even had to light my fire in the evenings to keep out the chill.  Hopefully we will now be getting our share of the lovely weather.

Today I would like to show you a card topper that I made using a Polkadoodles digi image. I was so tempted to buy some more stamps and resisted as I have far too many, so went for the CD Rom instead. This one that I used was already coloured but you can download and colour yourself.  Bit of a problem for me as for some reason the inks in my printer do not respond well to which ever colouring medium I use.  So here it is.....pretty isn't she ?

The flowers were my new stamp and die set from Heartfelt Creations. I added a few micro beads to the centres of some of the flowers. which  I bought from my local pound store. They are sets of micro beads in little tiny phials, meant for nail art, loads of different colours and you can use the little phials for altered art projects.

 I stamped with Stazon Teal Blue then coloured the flower petals with Versa Magic Chalk ink  Turquoise Gem before die cutting and shaping.

 I matched up with some smaller flowers.  The seahorse was die cut and heavily embossed with three different powders and given a few AB crystals down his spine.

Thanks for taking a peep, enjoy your day, hugs xx

20th June, 2019 Lovely Sophia,

Hi ! I could not resist buying the lovely Sophia stamp, another one by the talented Tracy Easson. she was stamped and coloured using my favourite, Copics.  I do wish there was a fairly local place where I could be given lessons on using  distress inks.,  Tried many times and failed.  So here is the pretty Sophia.

The flowers are made from Foamiran. I added some white pen dots to her hair. The stamped flowers were not part of this stamp set but from another Tracy Easson one.

The flowers were white Foamiran which are coloured by using Pan Pastels and a wet wipe, just touching both back and front of some of the die cut petals.

Isn't she adorable ?

The feathers were die cut and embossed in a heavy embossing powder, tied together with a bit of rustic twine.

Have a lovely evening, thank you for taking a peep at my work xxx

11th June, 2019 Tahlia again.

Hi, Just had to colour Tahlia in again. This time with bright coloured hair, using Copics again. The card stock used if again from Anna Marie, same pattern but in a different colourway, lovely lilac theme.

I am really liking the turquoise hair, something so very different from what I normally do.

The little white dots are from using a Posca pen, the only pen so far that I have found to do a proper good white dot.

I added a few AB crystals to her hair...well a girl has to sparkle !

  The inside done to match the front.

Thank you for looking at my work, have a lovely evening xx

5th June, 2019 Isn't she adorable ?

Hi , must show off this adorable stamped image. Her name is Tahlia and I am just loving her.  I have coloured her using my favourites, Copics.  I have seen her done in water colours and looks amazing, so must give it a try.

I added a stencil to the background card , stunning card by Anna Marie Designs, which I was so lucky to pick up two 12" x 12" pads, different colours at a local craft show last weekend.  Love Anna Marie's work, soooo Shabby Chic ! The rose is hand made using white Foamiran that I inked up with a magenta wax crayon and die cut with Spellbibders circle rose die, using the largest.

Really pleased with the results...so here she is.....

another peep

So itching to do her again......

Thanks for having a look at my work , hugs xxxx
