Christmas Tilda and New Home Card!

I made these two cards yesterday, as its the summer hols and can finally get some crafting time! Yay!!




Pink & Green Christmas Tilda!!

I love this Tilda stamp, but haven't used until now and am really pleased with my 3rd christmas card of the year!..although I have still got a lot to make yet...lol.


I used pink and green backing papers, coloured Tilda in with watercolours, punched out snowflakes, buttons and the Stamps Away stamp...again!!...


Then to finish off...with stickles glitter and ribbon!



New Home Card

One of my friends is due to move house, so I thought I would attempt a new home card.

The card is purple pearly card, then I used purple and white spotty backing paper, the cute house stamp is painted with pearly paints.

To finish off...purple ribbon, a white flower with sparkly purple brad and the 'new home' words.

TFL!

Penny Black Saturday Challenge 8...No Pink!

This is my entry for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge, number 8, the rule was No Pink!!!
I used a cute robin Penny Black stamp, and watercoloured the image.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge!

This is my first ever blog challenge i've done, the card had to feature snow, i chose the cute Penny Black stamp 'Lighting Up' and put snow falling in the background and under the cute lil' hedgehogs feet using stickles glitter glue.
The backing paper was from a K&Co mat stack, i watercolured the image, used Penny Black text on a muted green background.
For the finishing touches i added a red/green bow and green gems!

Elephant ATC!


Elephants are another of my favourite animals, so couldn't resist to make an ATC when i found the stamp in the drawer.
Again, the background was done with chalk ink pads, the flowers around the edge also stamped with a chalk pad, and added bling.
You gotta love stick on gems!
Details on the elephant done with metalic gel pens.
Hope you like!

Sunshine On A Rainy Day!


Last post of the day...a bright sunshine to brighten up your day...thats if its been anything like mine...very dull and rainy..=(
For the background i used chalk pads, Anita's sunshine stamp, and bright, happy embelishments. =D
Hope you like it and hopefully it will be sunny tomorrow!

One in a Million!


I made this yummy green card for my lovely mum...i mean..c'mon...who doesn't like green!?!...its so bright and happy!..
I used scraps of ribbon for the background and the words, flower and tag were out of a mixed tin...i think the make was K&Co. They come in really handy for space fillers and extras for both cards and scrapbooks.
Hope you like it...

Meow!...Black Cat ATC


Hey everyone!...I havn't been posting for a while, been very busy with school and things, and havn't had time to craft...=(...I made this cat atc....i love cats, and thought i would make an atc with one.
It was a quick and easy make, as i just used stickers, ribbon and bling, but I am quite pleased with it.
