21st June, 2018 My First Attempt at a large bow Card.

Hi, This is my very first attempt at making a bow card. Pretty pleased at how it turned out, got a bit carried away with the lace. Started going through my lace box ( pretty big ) and was finding all bits and bobs, so was loving this to be able to use them....hence getting carried away !!  First rule in making this kind of card, be so extra careful cutting out and copying the template and to be honest I did find the making of it quite easy. Hope you like it.

Now you can see how I got carried away with the lace !

View from the side.

Thank you for taking a peep and hope this inspires you to have a go !

14th June 2018 A bit of Shabby Chic.

Hi everyone, Hope all is well with you. My fractured foot is coming along very well but getting a little bit of ' cabin fever '  Cannot walk too far, but getting better every day.

It certainly gives me the opportunity to do a bit more craft work and I have been making some pretty Foamiran flowers. Here is some of my work.

The filigree bow is an old die, I think it could be a Sue Wilson one, but it does get a lot of use.

The large circular die is a Cheery Lyn die, again had for a number of years but so very pretty.

Hope you like my flowers, thank you for taking a peep xx

5th June 2018 , A few more cards.

Helle, Good morning, hope all is well with you. I have been doing a few more ' less is more cards ' after receiving some beautiful papers by Alexandra Renke, plus a couple of her dies which only arrived yesterday. Like all crafters, itching to use them.

       

             The peony die cut flower was painted using Brush paints to match the tulip.

This one is again using the Renke papers but decided to do something totally different , a bit of a collage thing going off on this one.

Thank you for taking a peep at my work, always appreciated, have  a wonderful day.    

23rd May 2018 A Polka Doodles Card.

Hi, the sun has been shining today, temperature on the up and it feels so good.  My roses are all starting to bud up really well and I am just waiting for them to burst into bloom. Don't we all love roses. My favourites are the old fashioned ones, Old English roses, so not long now.

I would like to show you a Polka Doodles card that I recently made, I did the colouring whilst away on my short break , no pun intended here for my broken foot I might add.

  At last getting a hang of this making bigger, wish I had learnt it sooner. Was coloured using my Copics and a touch of white Posca Pen to highlight a few areas on the teapot and hair flower.

                            I always like to do the inside of the card to compliment the front.

                                      Thank you for stopping by, enjoy your evening  xxx

19th May 2018 A few ' Less is More ' style cards.

Hi, Today was the BIG day for our Prince Harry and his beautiful fiancée Megan, and what a beautiful day it has been. She looked radiant , her dress was pure class, and we did it in style like us Brits always do.

Me....?  Yes I have done something in style, broken my foot, simply fell off a kerb. so I have on a lovely black ' boot ' to keep my foot snug. Really stylish, I think not  ! Standing for any length of time is a bit uncomfortable so I have been doing cards that are slightly more simplified...' Less is More '  I have really enjoyed making them.  Here is some of my latest work......

This is a set of two Memory Box dies, Floating Butterflies, guess I can do a lot with these. This one was a straight forward die cut of each one, layered on top of each other, a misting of pink and a few gems.

Seems like I am into butterflies.  Double layered butterfly on a dotty embossed background.Added some white flat back pearls. Love the lovely white linen card that I am using at the moment.

Not a butterfly this time but a pretty bird cut from some Lemoncraft papers with an added Tim Holtz die cut wildflower spritzed with a touch of blue to pick up the blue of the bird.

Hope you enjoyed my cards and thank you so much for having a look at them. Enjoy the rest of the
                                                               weekend  xx

7th May 2018 A Nellie Snellen card topper

Hi everyone. I have been searching through my collection of stamps, I have so many, and so many forgotten about and I came across three very pretty Nellie Snellen stamps. So here is my latest bit of work, hope you like them.  Copics were used to colour them.

This one is a Whimsy Stamp. 

They are all my favourite ones at the moment. Just love adding lots of glitter to the fairy wings.

Hope that you are all enjoying this wonderful weather we are having at the moment.  Thank you for taking a peep at my work and hope that you are all having a lovely evening.  Hugs xx
