Two for one

This card uses an old free stamp from the Craft Stamper back in January 2009 never used it at the time but this year it really spoke to me, Make My Monday want to see a red ribbon and Crafty Cardmakers would like you to use the same stamp in 3 different ways .
I've stamped direct onto the card then added a stamped masked and watercolour background stamped the flower again and coloured with promarker and decoupaged toped off with the Tim Holtz bird and a red ribbon

As you can see I did get a bit carried away lol the card atc and tag were for a swap and the last card that took ages to make is for my mum

Less is more and it's snowing

No it's not really snowing here in Hampshire yet but LIM want to see one layer cards let it snow and looking at the enties which are all beautiful I see I'm not the only one who got these free stamps with a magazine so hope you like how I have used them :)

Sunny days at Just for Fun

We're working up a sweat here, well we can live in hope can't we lol at Just for Fun with Zoe taking us into the summer.
We also have a guest this week Ann  invited by Neet whom I'm sure will have come up with something pretty amazing being a tallented crafter
My little offering this week is a domino stamped and embossed with flowers and butterfly from Personal Impressions on an alcohol ink background and coloured with sukura pens and topped off with glossy accents

It's getting warmer at Just for Fun

We're here with the second week of Zoe's choice at Just for Fun
After winter comes the spring, longer day and warming sun bringing forth new life and for me a favourite sight are the woods full of bluebells of which there are plenty of near to me :)

I hope I have captured that feeling of a bright day in the woods with an alcohol background and trees from Kanban and a suggestion of bluebells . Zoe and Neet of course have their own vision of spring which are just wonderful

Hope you are keeping nice and warm and dreaming of days to come

Make your own flowers for the Craft room Challange

If you are a reader of my blog you will know how I love to make flowers :)

This card shows 3 different flowers a tiny rosette flower a canvas flower and a tiny paper flower. The base card has been embossed with Craft concept folder, a piece of glossy card stamped and embossed with a daisy background from the Stampman and then brayerd just love the way it's left a halo of white around the little flowers.
There is lots of lovely inspiration on the Craft room challenge blog :)

Baby it's cold outside

It's the 1st of December and Zoe's choice at Just for Fun and she would like to see your interpretation of winter. Winter always bring to mind a poem we learnt at school. When the north wind doth blow we shall have snow and what will the robin do then, poor thing

I have used a shallow tray into which I have added a background of distress inks and Penny black trees a TH flourish to represent the cold wind part of a TH on the edge twigs and of course the TH bird.
