Hi All

I have made another card this time for my brother-in-law Nev. He is a bit of a gardener and loves to grow veg in his greenhouse so I thought this card would be appropriate.


I used versermark for the stamp,  then black embossing powder I did this twice, cut out the  watering can and butterfly then mounted it on top of the first stamp. I used my promarkers on the flowers and butterfly. I mounted the image on green mirri board and paper.

Hi everyone I hope you are all happy and feeling well on this miserable day. I don't know if you got much sleep last night, it was warn in bed  even with the fan on all night. I did not get a good nights sleep. I made the following card for my sister-in-law who sadly lost her Father recently. I'm not much into sympathy cards so I thought a nice thinking of you card would be much more suitable and here it is.



I was pleased with the outcome and I hope the family like it also.

Hi everyone what a miserable day we are having in Lincoln today. Its not raining for a change but it looks miserable out there, I shall stay in the study today and maybe get into my craft room later for a play.
We have been invited to my friends 60th Birthday party so I thought I would make my own acceptance card. Here is my  effort.



 
I just love these crinklies stamps and I must admit as time goes on and I get older I feel they reflect my image more and more.

Hi All


Two posts in one week I must have nothing to do. Well I came across four coloured images as I was tidying my desk and thought these are too pretty to leave lying around I would therefore turn them into four quick cards all with the same theme.  




Four cards ready for when I have my big sale.

See you soon.

Hi All

I have finally taken pictures of the Birthday cards my crafting buddies sent me.


Sue and Denise


Carol and Willy

 

Wendy and Fiona


Pauline and Margaret


Gina

My friends are so talented didn't I get some lovely cards what a lucky lady I am.

It was also my wedding anniversary 39 years and as my Hugh says you get less time for murder, he is so romantic and this was his card.





Just love the image I think it was a free digi the small tags should have been the same colour but the small square tag was the third attempt. Then I pick up the wrong distressing ink and hey presto another mistake. So I edged the stamp image with the same ink and there you have it a mistake corrected or so I think.

See you soon.

Hi All
Today has been another sunny day and  this afternoon I have been sat in my garden room crafting. I was also listening to my Rebus audio book. A nice afternoon was had by all.

And this is what I produced.


And the second design.



I was very pleased with how both cards turned out.

Stamps by Little Claire Design coloured with my promarkers.

These stamps also had a window design and all the little stamps fit inside it.This will be used in my next card something for you all to look forward,  which should be made and posted next.

Bye for now

Hi All

Here we go again this card was made for my friend Denise's birthday. Sorry the colours look a little washed out but my picture is not very good.



I like this digi stamp the young girl is a little old fashioned but the colours used on the card bring her bang up to date.

As usual I am not sure where the paper came from. I used a free digi stamp, I am a crafty crafter. The lace was from the Newark market I always have a rummage in the off cuts box. The flowers well your guess is as good as mine.

See you all soon.
