Month: January 2016

Hi Guys!

It’s Saturday, gosh the weeks go fast! We are really closing up on valentines day so I thought I would share another love card today. I’m using the Little Miss Muffet Stamps stamp Zappa from the Polka Dot Pals series, which is one of my absolutely favourite stamp series ever, and Little Miss Muffet Stamps are coming out with new ones every month! This little girl/cat is adorable! And I also wanted to join the Simon Says Stamp challenges, the Monday one that is Love is in the air + Use red and the Wednesday one which is anything goes. While on the subject of challenges have you joined the Little Miss Muffet Stamps Challenge? It’s Anything goes this bi-weekly period.

Hi Guys!

Today is the fourth card in my valentine series, and today I have another one with not so typical colours. To be honest the reason for my paper choices was that I really, really wanted to colour that fox in bright oranges, and then I just felt he needed that woodgrain and some leaves. Btw today is the release for the February images from Little Blue Button Stamps, and that includes the image I used today, called Kimono Girl.

I’m also entering this card in Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge that is Anything Goes.

Hi Guys!

Hi Guys!

Todays card is made with the Simon Says Stamp January Card Kit which I combined with the super adorable Polka Dot Pals Lirienne. I love how this kit contained so much goodies from Doodlebug Designs and how perfect all of the Little Miss Muffet Stamps go with them, it’s like they are best friends, which is why I enter this card in the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge with the theme of Best Friends.

Hi guys!

So when I learned that this bi-weekly challenge over at lawnscapings was Watercolour I knew I wanted to play along, but I was a little bit divided, I have a little watercolour set I bought a couple of months ago that I still haven’t used, but I also just reorganized my distress inks. I ended up playing with the distress inks. I might have gotten a little bit carried away with my drops but I had loads of fun creating this.

Hi Guys!

Time to get those valentines and love cards going, I believe that valentines is one of those great times to show your near and dear ones that you love them. So this year I’m starting a little valentines series, and though I start out with a “traditional” love card with pinks and hearts I thought I would also mix it up during the series.

Hi Guys!

One of the things that I do in my life with everything, is trying to improve. And todays card is sort of an improvement on yesterdays, the background that is. I loved how the background turned out yesterday but I felt it missed depth, the depth you get when you use multiple colours. So today I used two colours for the smudging and 4 colors for the splatter. Todays card is also my inspiration card for the Make It Colourful colouring challenge, which is feathers. This is one I longed to get to do as I love birds and I had alot of fun colouring this cute little Robin. My colouring tip for doing feathers is flicking, loads of small flicks.

Hi Guys!

Today I have a clean and simple card, I must be honest for the past couple of weeks I’ve been struggling with my creativity the idea I get don’t really turn out the way I want. But I found something that work, when I don’t “feel” a card I leave it for awhile and go and do something else. Then when I come back I’m no longer in the middle of it and can have another “eye” at it sort of. I did this with this card, the first idea was to make a paper pattern card as I usually do, but I didn’t “feel it”, so I went away and cross stitch for awhile (and watch some criminal tv series, love those) and when I came back it just hit me, I need to make a splatter background with Abandoned Coral and I need to use some die cut sentiment. And it just came together, I really love the result.
