Repeat Stamping

Hi, today I’d like to share a quick card inspired by Lulucardmaking.Repeat-stamping-technique
I have used stamps by Julie Hickey on this first card. I’ve lifted the coloured ones on foam pads after colouring with my Promarkers


Here’s another try with stamps by Verve.

I’ve kept this one flat but also happy to have finally got out of its box my Press To Impress which was a Christmas gift. 

Pop over to see what Lou shared and have ago yourself

Just For You.

Hello,

Today I'd like to share a card I have made following a sketch I've picked up from the Lemoncraft Blog. Unfortunately at this time I have none of their papers so I can't join in the challenge but I'd like to share with you all.




I have used papers from the gorgeous Dream garden collection from Scrapboys which I picked up at Merly Impressions along with a touch of Kaisercraft paper too. The doily is one from my stash which I cut down so as not to hang over the edges too much.
I made the flowers using Foamiran and dies by ladyedesign The leaf die is by Spellbinders.


I have stitched around the edge of the first layer and distressed the edges. The strip is the other side of the paper which I first added to a touch of self coloured paper and added foam to the underside for lift. Before I added the doily I placed foam under the right side to level it out. I painted a small wooden frame pink and added that centrally then I went about adding leaves and flowers to follow the sketch. I have added touches of white paint about the layout (first time I've tried this and a bit scary!) along with extra pearls.

Here is a closer look at the sketch, they put out 4 different ones 2 of which could be layouts.



Thanks for stopping by today, maybe you could leave a word or two as it's always nice to know who has called by.
I'll be sharing this card at the following challenge sites.

Happy Holidays!

Hi,

Here I am today sharing a card I have made to join in with a challenge over at Magnolia Forever Challenge over on Facebook.
The challenge is to use Kraft on your card/project and as you can see I have made the base of my card and it's layer from it. Teaming it up with a paper kit from my stash.


I have used the adorable Tilda stamp where she is dressed to keep warm. I have coloured her in using my Promarker pens and fussy cut her out laying her on a oval of peach coloured card. As you can see I have used lace and a bold fabric flower along with leaves cut from matching cardstock. I added 2 wooden snowflakes which I had embossed with blue/white powder


The shape of the card is a new die of mine which I picked up recently, I think I'll be getting it out again soon as I love it.

I will be sharing at these other lovely challenge sites too....

Happy Easter

Hello,

Well as we are all being asked to take up Social Distancing this means there maybe more time to create! So I'd like to share with you a card I have made to send this Easter.

 I have chosen to use these pretty papers which all work so well together along with a little lace and pearls to finish off.

The little bunny I picked up from Hobbycraft and only £1 for about 8! I bought these egg dies just before Christmas aren't they cute.
The flowers I have made using Foamiran in 2 colours of yellow and a touch of lime green for a hint of a leaf. The lace die behind is from polkadoodles.co.uk

I hope you like what you see and maybe you'd like to leave a word or two as its always nice to see who has stopped by.

Prosecco Time!

Hello,
Well it’s been a while since I posted last but I’ve finally finished a few projects I’m allowed to share with you all.

Here is the first which was made to celebrate a fun loving ladies 60th birthday.


I have used one of my favourite stamps by All Dressed Up called Prosecco Time!  I have coloured her in using my alcohol markers after choosing my papers. The papers are from The Paper Boutique and are called Summer Blooms. I chose flowers to match from my stash.

After handing over this finished card I was asked to make it all again for another friend who will be turning a fabulous 50!


This time I decided to use this lovely bright yellow paper by Kaisercraft available at  merlyimpressions.co.uk  called boho from paisley-days-collection,  isn't it pretty? Again I coloured using alcohol markers and finished off using more flowers and dots of Nuvo drops.

I'd like to join in the challenge at alldressedupchallenges/february-challenge-102.
