12th March, 2017, A Card for a Friend.

Hi , Hope you are all having a lovely day. I have a card to show you that I made for a friend.  I used an image from a craft CD, so it was nice to not colour something in, especially when I was feeling a little bit under the weather.  I added a large heart, distressed on the edges with Tim Holtz inks as well as the card stock, which was from Lemon Craft.  The flowers I made using mulberry paper.

                                I did the inside of the card to complement the front.

                The images on the CD are so pretty, it was hard to choose which one to use.

               Hope you like my card, thank you for taking a peek, have a lovely day xx

2nd March 2107 Into Oval Cards

Hi, Good morning, beautiful day, cold but the sun is shining. Storm Doris passed us by, one bird table over and a bit of plastic sheeting and that was it.  Guess we are very lucky living in the Don Valley so we escape most of the bad weather....roll on Summer, not long to wait now.
Today I have another oval creation to show you using the lovely Tonic die that I am so enjoying using.  The image , if  I can remember is from Pion, had it quite a while cut from a sheet of other pretty ladies.

I had another go at doing the Foamiran flowers...getting better !  Added some dried gypsophilia to add to the romantic Shabby chic look.

                                                           A closer peep at the flowers.

                                                              Have a lovely day, Hugs xx

23rd Februar, 2017, Oval Toppers

Hello, Well I am waiting for storm Doris to arrive, so far everything is pretty much ok, just a little bit windy. Hopefully that will be all that we get in this area of England.

Today I have two toppers that I have done, I am very much in love with oval shapes at the moment.

                        I  have used a Marianne Anja Die for the frame, such a pretty die.

I kept nearly everything white, except for the little roses, which were originally white, just did a very light spritz of pink.

This oval frame is a much larger one, from Tonic, lots of other dies to mix with it to get different looks. Again I kept this one mostly white, the exception being the ivory dried gypsophilia to add to the Shabby Chic romantic look.

The image is from Pion Design.

Thank you for stopping by, hugs and best wishes xx

13th February, 2017 Some more of my work

Hello, here a re a few of my cards and toppers to show you that I have done recently. I have been so busy, some were for a commission and others to be purchased, hope you like them

                          A Mo Manning topper using an image purchased from The Hobby House

                                                            A Teddy Bo Card Topper.

This one was a digital download. My computer ink does not work too good, it smudges with alcohol pens and also with distress inks. However, at last I have discovered that by feeding in lightweight water colour paper, and then colouring with water soluble crayons, at last it does not run !

The last thing to show you is some pretty hand made frosted crystal butterflies, they sparkle much more than the photograph is showing.

Thank you for taking a peep at my work, it so keeps me out of mischief !  xx

2nd February, 2017 Magnolia Tilda Card

Hello , I have a few cards to show you today that have been done over the last few days. The  first one is a Magnolia card, pretty much all done in pink.

                                The next one is a LOTV card using one of their newest stamps

This one is an easel card. I used water soluble wax crayons for the colouring.

                      A Shabby Chic style card tag, inspired by the very talented Frank Garcia.

                   Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoy making them, take care, xx

20th January, 2017, Lots of Pretties

Hi everyone, After feeling not too good, I have spent quite a lot of my time just making pretty bits and bobs, as to just how I felt, so here are a few of my recent creations.  Firstly some pretty butterflies.  They were made from lots of layers of fine materials in my stash.

I love to use the dried gypsophilia ( can never spell it right  ! ) , it gives everything a lovely soft finish.
                             

Next is some pretty mulberry paper flowers, this time I popped a little pink rose in the middle.

Thank you for taking a peep, take care, xx           

9th January, 2017. A Mo Manning Card Topper.

Hello and a happy New Year to you all. Like so many of my friends, we have all had this terrible cold that has been doing the rounds, two weeks now and just starting to feel better. Therefore, not much crafting has been done, just not been feeling like doing any, but getting back into the swing !
I have a Mo Manning card topper to show you, I used a bought image, so no colouring done, which I guess is just as well as not really in the zone yet !

The die I used is a new one from Marianne, their Anja range, very pretty. The butterfly is a Poppy die.

I used bought flowers and added my usual oh so pretty dried ivory gypsohilia , plus die cut leaves. 
                           Hope you like my card topper, thank for taking a peep, hugs  xx
