31st December 2019 Just a bit more that I have done.

Hi, So here we are at the end of another year, where has this year gone ?  Gone so quickly for me, but hopefully next year will be as wonderful. Lovely news this year as I am going to be a great grandma, a little girl I am told.  How times have changed over the years to be able now to know the sex of your baby, truly amazing !

So here is some more of my work for you to take a peek at.....

I made the flowers from Foamiran, coloured with pastels and a baby wipe.

A bit of altered art type work here, a multi coloured background, a touch of stencilling and my lovely Posca pens.  The flowers were water coloured and fussy cut.

And a bit of doodling !

I wish each and everyone a very happy New Year, filled with contentment  and good health.

15th December 2019 , a Birthday Card.

Hi good morning, !  I would like to show you a lovely card that I have made for my oldest daughter's birthday. Just loving this digi stamp that I down loaded from Etsy. I am not a favourite of down loaded stuff as I seem to have trouble colouring in as I like to use Copics and they seem to smudge. Then somebody said, go over the printed image with your heat gun...and it worked, my Copics did not smudge, so well pleased with that tip. The image is from Aurora Wings and I am so in love with it, must do more...here she is in all her glory, complete with lots of bling !!

I added loads of tiny, and I mean tiny , turquoise diamante's  , clear AB diamante's and just a few green ones.

If only you could see the sparkle. I added sparkle to the flowers as well as white paste.

Hope you like it as much as I really enjoyed making it, bye for now  xx

25th November 2019 More of my work

Hello, I cannot believe that it is almost a month since I showed you some of my work. I guess like most ladies we are busy getting ready for the festive season and the time just runs away. I have managed to do all my Christmas gift shopping. The next thing is to make an evening spare and get them all wrapped up in one go.

Here is some of my work recently done, always a lovely escape into my craft room , bliss !

The flowers are made from Foamiran. It was not my original intention to make them look like Winter Anemones but as soon as I put the black centres in that's what I thought they looked like.

Now all together different. Distressed background using water colours, stamped, and used the bleaching out technique to repaint the flowers.  Added a few dots with my white Posca pen to make it jump out that bit more.

Again something different. I love making butterflies, the sparkly the better ! Lots of glitter on a pink pearl painted butterfly.

Hope you like some of my latest creations, have a wonderful day , hugs xxx

2nd October, 2019 Super Sparkle Butterflies

Hello, We all love butterflies and to add them to our crafting projects make them so pretty. Every now and then I get the yearning to make some super sparkly ones and they have to be in pink !  Hope you like them.

I die cut two sizes of butterflies on white card, painted them pink and added the black paint to the edges.

I covered each layer with Glossy Accents and white glass glitter, left them to dry and then added to the edges some Stickles as well as the dabs in the centre of the wings.

All were layered together with hot glue then the little pink crystals added along the length of the body.

So super sparkly , just love them  !

The Stickles seem to pick up the black detail underneath and add that touch of colour other than just the pink.

Thank you for taking a peep, enjoy your day, xx

15th September, 2019.

Hi, I got a little tired of the more complicated style of cards so did a few water colouring ones, so here they are and hope you like them ……..

                          This one I would separate and put into a frame, so enjoyed doing it.

 This one was using Brusho's for the back ground and bleaching out the flowers so could be coloured.

I distressed the back ground with water colours then stamped on the image. I saw a tutorial on using ' crayons ' ….not successful I'm afraid as the stamped image smudged as soon as I tried to work on it...I should have thought it through, never mind, as this one is so easy, simple and pretty.

               I hope you like my cards, thank for taking a peep, enjoy your day xxxx

22nd August, 2019. A Steam Punk Style card.

Hi, I was looking on Pinterest at all the mixed media work which I do love to dabble with, not very successful I must admit. I saw some Steam Punk stuff....wooooow!   love this , so had to give it a try. I already had a load of metallic pastes and gilding wax, all that was needed was some steam punk style embossing folders. Love Tim Holtz products, he does some great stuff, one ordered, delivered and here is my first Steam Punk style work.

I already had the stamp from forever ago which I though she went pretty well . The cogs border die again had forever and hardly used. I used black card stock, embossed part with a Tim Holtz one and then got to work with my metallic pastes and gilding wax...so loved doing it !

I used at least three different shades to get the result I wanted. I also added a touch of gold on the die cut foliage.

The flowers were made from some left over Tim Holtz card stock, grunged up and a touch of gold and brown on the petals.

Hope you like it.....have a lovely weekend xx
