Christmas

Hello,

Whilst on Lock down and Furloughed, I managed to make a few Christmas cards when I wasn't homeschooling my boys! Here is one of them.


With this 6" x 6" square card I stamped a Father Christmas from my  'Nitwit' Merry and Bright stamp set I got free, quite some years ago with Simply Homemade magazine.
I coloured him with my Promarkers, and stamped a greeting on some themed paper which came with the stamp set.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges

Thanks


Live Life


Hiya,

 I have made the below card for my Manager at work I hope she likes it!

I have made the card using the lovely papers from Making Cards & Papercraft Magazine January edition 2020. I also die cut the 'Live Life' and used a happy birthday greeting, and a '30' sticker, also added a die cut bird.


I would like to enter this card into the following challenges

Butterfly season!

I have made the below card, making my own background paper.


I have taken a piece of slightly ridged paper and stamped butterfly and dragonfly images then heat embossed with clear embossing powder then used my old 'Big and Juicy' vibrant primary colours ink pad which have all blended into a mix of colours, I used a speedball brayer to apply the ink. I then stamped some flowers/leaf stems with embossing ink and heat embossed with Cosmic Sparkle and Sprinkle 'Wisteria' powder. I also spayed over the top with some Tattered Angels glimmer Mist ( can't see this in the photo). I then ripped around the edge of the paper to fit onto my base card.
Finally I stamped a greeting and stuck on two butterflys' which I heat embossed with white embossing powder onto purple velum and cut out. Added 3 small pearls.

Catch the Bug Colour Challenge

Hiya Everyone,

My card today is made for the colour Challenge on Catch the Bug challenge.

I do have a few Bugaboo Digi images but we have had a broken computer for a while so I can't access them, but luckily I had one image already printed out ready to use!

I love the colours on this weeks challenge, blues and browns.  I have used all scraps of card or paper on a kraft card base, and coloured the image using promarkers. I have also added a couple of brads, charms and some ribbon.




It has been a while since I posted a card so I hope you like it.

Such a long time away!

Well I have not posted for a few years!! Been busy working and family to look after. I have not had much spare time. With being furloughed currently due to the Covid 19 I have a little bit of spare time amongst home schooling and family etc so I thought I would put a few cards etc on here. I have still been making cards but not posted them on my blog.
