The butterfly  and sentiment have both been inked up with Red Geranium Atchival ink  onto white card and layered onto some red card.. I decided this needed a couple of roses...I haven't used any for ages......I am off to do some blog commenting now I am afraid I have been a bit laxed on this front.xxx

Fabulous

.......I have my card for the FWF.I have used a gorgeous Poppy stamp from the Nov 2014 Kit of the Month. I have inked up my background with some Distress inks then  bleached out some colour using a stencil and baby wipe. I like the way it looks like light coming in through a window.

I then stamped and coloured the poppies, added the sentiment and butterflies.

Friends with Flair Friday

Well I have finally gone and got myself some Brusho Crystals ,I am not sure why I have never bothered before because they are made just a mile from where I live .....Anyway I did get some and this is the result of my first play.

I must admit they are fun but you don't have a lot of control over what happens so it is a bit hit and miss...I did  get a couple of backgrounds I was happy with.

I have teamed one of them up with a couple of Donna Downey stamps

GD for Crafting by Designs

Hello to you all...I am so honoured this month to have been chosen as one of the March Spotlight Winners over at "Crafting by Designs " As a result of this I was asked to be a guest designer  and jumped at the chance.

I have made a birthday card using one of my Gelli papers and some Deco Art Paints with Tims Butterfly . I used the technique  again that I saw of Barbara Gray on you tube. I have used this a lot.xxx

Be Happy

Hello to you all, I am back again, I have been playing with some Stampbord just lately, I have some 2inch square pieces.... I covered the entire piece with Chipped Sapphire Distress ink and once dry stamped my image and sentiment using Black Versafine,I then heat set this and using a scrapper tool started scrapping out the areas that should be white. Once this was all dry I sanded the edges back to reveal the  white clay.

 I have added some magnets on the back and made it into a Fridge Magnet.

I have done another one of these but you will have to 

wait a couple of weeks as it is for a GD piece  xxx

Distress ink Chipped Sapphire

Visible Image Stamps-Vision Incognito,Be Happy Set

Some more Gelli

I have been having some more playtime with my Gelli Plate and Acrylic Paints ....It is so addictive and I love using what I make. I used the technique that I saw on a You tube Video by Barbara Gray It is a perfect gap for a sentiment.......Anyway I have matched this one with these fab Visible Image stamps....I inked them up with Black Versafine and Clear embossed.xxx

Thank You

I don't think you can have to many Thank you cards,it is always nice to send someone a thanks for just about anything.

Take Risks

I am sharing a wooden door plaque today....I have painted a wooden block with Acrylic paint layering up blues and white and of course painted in a moon. After giving it a good sanding backI stamped my quotes with black Versafine and went round the edges with Black Soot Distress ink, this gives it a bit of depth
