Good morning to everyone. Oh my ! Where has March gone. here we are on the last day of the month. Weather warming up, absolutely lovely here in the U.K. proper Spring days.  Today I would like to show you some more of my work, cards and toppers that I have done over the past few days.

                         This one is using the beautiful Pion Design cardstock Theadore and Bella

This one was made using a Tonic Studio large oval die and a printed image.

These are two pretty gift tags. I hand made the Foamiran flowers.

Thank you for taking a peek at my work, always appreciated, have a lovely day xx

17th March 2017. More of my Pretty Cards & Toppers.

Hello lovely crafters, today I would like to show you a few of my cards and toppers that I have made recently.  To start with, this card was made using the lovely Pion Design , Theadore and Bella, so very pretty. I am fortunate to live near a lovely lady that stocks both Pion and Maja.

The next one is one of my oval frame toppers using Tonic Dies.

                                 I added Foamiran flowers and pretty white pearl stamens.

       I did a couple of Shabby Chic style card tags, for that special gift for a special person.

                            Thank you for taking a look at my work, have a lovely weekend xx

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
