Another Journal page

Good afternoon Lovelies! Brrrrrrr! It's blimin cold! A great excuse to drink hot tea and craft :) bliss! So I've had a great time getting inky messy fingers lol!

I've done another page of my Art Journal amongst other projects which can't be blogged at mo! ;)

It's similar colours as the last but you will see by the bottom photo why! So I've used my Dylusions spray inks, texture paste with Dylusions and Spodgeaway Masks! I've used, Barbed wire and butterfly from Visible Image, the sentiment is Dylusions and the little wild flower sprigs are Studio 490, background stamps I've used Justrite harlequin/script background and Indigoblu crackle background, I bleached the butterfly after stamping with Archival black ink! Unfortunately the texture down the left side doesn't really show up so well in the photo but I coloured it with red DI once dried! I'm so loving playing like this! Thank you for all the lovely comments you leave, it really makes my day :)

 

Here are the two pages together, I wanted them to be similar in colour and style but not the same! If you get my meaning lol!

Art Journal

Good evening Lovelies and a warm welcome to new followers, I hope your all well and having a good week so far?

So I bought a cheap album from hobbycraft, just plain white it's 8x8 so I thought I'd use it as an Art Journal as they are so expensive to buy! So here is my very first page, I'm pretty pleased with how it's turned out, I enjoyed using lots of different techniques! Texture paste through Dylusions masks, spritzing with Dylusions spray inks, stamping and bleaching, the flowers are Studio 490 and the bird is by Visible Image It does feel good getting mucky hands! I hope you like it? Thank you for visiting xxx

Happy Birthday Princess!

Good morning Lovelies! And a very warm welcome to my new followers! Roll on the spring!

Well today's card is the card I have made for our gorgeous little princess Millie! Millie was our Foster girl that many of you know moved to her new family a month ago! I'm still grieving but I get better and stronger everyday! Anyway today is her 3rd Birthday, we get to speak to her tonight on the phone and we are going to visit on Sunday, I can't wait to see her but I'm also nervous too, because I know leaving her behind is going to kill us again! She was with us for 22 months! She seems to be settling well into her new family, and they of course are living their long awaited dream :)

I have made various versions of this card, I don't really do cute or character cards, I like Wellington bear and I think it's a versatile image?

Millie the day she moved aw!

There were no papers used on this card, I made everything from stamps, ink and white card! Well apart from the bling and ribbon of course lol! Hope you like my card? Thank you very much for visiting xxx

Splat Christmas Tree

Good morning Lovelies, and a very warm welcome to my new followers, I hope you enjoy visiting my blog, I certainly enjoy reading your comments, even the constructive ones ;)

A while back I won an Indigoblu stamp of my choice in a competition on Facebook, I can't tell you how thrilled I was, their products are second to none, I love them, and they are a British company!

So onto my card, 8x8 just for a change lol ;) this was the stamp I chose! I just created splats with various Distress Stains stamped over top, added liquid pearls and buttons, bit of mat and layering job done! The sentiment is from Creative Expressions and the embossing folder is a spellbinder one! I hope you like it? It's a bit different!

Mother's Day card

Good evening Lovelies! What a beautiful day today! Hope your all getting some nicer weather?

Tonight's card is another card inspired by Pinterest, 8x8 card base, I used Papermill Direct Linen texture card for the topper, matted onto red card also PD, I die cut a butterfly and used the waste as a stencil and used DI through it, I stamped the butterfly with a swirly stamp and used the DI to colour it, the flower/weed stamp is from Indigoblu, Mum is Do-crafts I think? And the sentiment is from Creative Expressions, I love this sentiment! This card took me 10 minutes max! Thank you for visiting xxx

My Daughters Birthday card

Hello Lovelies! Well I don't know about yours, but our weather here this afternoon is gorgeous, blue sky the sun is shining :) it was raining this morning though!

So here's my card I've made for my Daughter's birthday which is 3rd March she will be 29, oh my that makes me feel old :/ she lives in Canada so I needed to get this made so I can get it there on time!

Anyway onto my card, she likes things pretty simple and I saw a very similar one on Pinterest which inspired me! I knew this would be for Ashley as soon as I saw it! 8x8 I used Distress Stains on Linen texture paper from Papermill Direct, the flower/weed lol is Indigoblu, the sentiment is Creative Expressions and the Daughter is from stash not sure of the brand? Matted onto black card also from Papermill Direct.

Thank you for visiting, I really do appreciate the comments good or bad xxx

Twins card

Good evening Lovelies! Welcome to my new followers, I hope your all well and managing to keep warm?

Tonight I was asked by my hubby to make a card for a work colleague who's wife has given birth to twins, one of each! He wanted it big enough for them all to sign, so I've made it A4!

I used Centura Pearl card base, then a layer of white paper which I pierced all the way around the edge then another layer of CP which I cut and embossed the bottom piece with M-Bossability folder, the feet stamp is from Hobbycraft £1, bargain! I stamped using Perfect Medium then swiped over with Pan Pastels, the Congrats stamp I heat Embossed, I can't remember where it's from, added ribbon, bling and buttons, voila! Hope you like it? Hubby was pleased so that's good! Thank you very much for visiting, I really appreciate your comments xxx
