Happy birthday...

Morning folks...

Well, the winter has arrived, it's baltic!!!

It's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.

The theme this fortnight is "birthday".  Sweet Stampin is celebrating their birthday so why not join us in the fun.

This was the birthday card I made for my hubby's big day.  I actually bought this stamp set a while back but as usual never got the chance to use it, so here it is although I only stamped the birthday sentitment, I embossed the scene and then added the clouds and touch them up with some white ink, I also added some blue ink to the sea.

Hope you like it.

Happy Haunting...

 

Morning folks...

It's been another busy time for me at work and also had a wee break up north...yet again no orcas, so maybe next time!

It's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.

The theme this fortnight is "Halloween or the colours of Halloween".

Now I do love Halloween but I really don't have many stamps and then I remembered I had Frankie so here he is.  Stamped him up and coloured him green of course and layered him onto some purple stencilled clouds....I need to practice clouds.  I added a few sequins to finish.

Hope you like it.

Happy Birthday...

 

Morning folks...

It's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.

The theme this fortnight is "feature a sentiment".

I was at a bit of a loss what to make but I wanted to make the sentiment the main focus.  So I stencilled the background, stamped the sentiment onto a stencilled panel and layered onto the card.  I die cut a wee candle and added that to the card too...it's kind of plain and simple.

Hope you like it.

Time to unwind...

 

Morning folks...

I have been a bit AWOL with my cards lately as the crocheting has kind of taken over, after the holidays I am hoping to get back to an even split as I am missing making my cards, but I am also loving the crocheting...can't stop buying wool...oops!  So off on my holiday up north tomorrow and I am hoping to capture some great wildlife photos...top of the list is an orca but that is unlikely to happen but you never know!

It's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.

The theme this fortnight is "favourite colour".

Now I couldn't quite decide which colour was my favourite as I do like lots of colours however my wardrobe consists of black, black, more black etc but I do like blue and green together....maybe you can tell ha ha!

I actually bought this stamp set and embossing folder ages ago and just haven't had the chance to use it, so since I was talking wool I thought yep let's go with it.  First I embossed the background and added some blue and green ink.  I stamped up some of the wool images, tape measure and crochet hook using blue and green....I tried to colour one of the balls like variegated wool...lol.  I then fussy cut them and layered them onto the card.  I stamped up the sentiment and added some dots and sequins to finish.

Hope you like it.

Beautiful birthday...

 

Morning folks...it's that time again...

It's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.

The theme this fortnight is "use a stencil".

I bought this stamp and stencil set a few months ago but haven't had the chance to use them until now.  The images are quite big so was a bit unsure of how this was going to look anyway here it is.

I stamped and then stencilled the background leaves in blue and green and then layered onto black card.  I also then stamped and die cut a wee leaf, I die cut the sentiment and layered onto the leaf and then added to the card.  I finished with a few sequins.

Hope you like it.

Christmas in July...

Morning folks...I hope the weather is good wherever you are...it's a bit rubbish up here!

It's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.

The theme this fortnight is "Christmas in July".

I bought this stamp set last year but never got around to use it so making the effort to get my unused stuff used!

First I stenciled those little trees with various shades of green and blue...now this stencil was not part of the same set as the stamp but thought it matched perfectly.

I stamped up 3 different little trees, coloured them with copics and then die cut and layered them onto the card.  I stamped and white embossed the sentiment and layered that onto the card too.

I added some doodling around the edges too.
