Seeing Stars

Good morning Lovelies! Well waiting at Kuala Lumpur airport to fly to our next destination which is Penang, we've had 3 days in KL which has been super but very busy, very hot and humid, a beautiful and vibrant place, now we have 12 days lazing in the sun :) boy do I need it!

So onto my make which I made the night before we came away, I was just playing and then found I can enter it into the Panpastelukchallengeblog

I used a Manilla tag and using a SplodgeAway mask and texture paste created the stars, I left it over night to dry, then spritzed with Lime green Dylusions spray ink with the mask in place and then removed the mask and sprayed with Blue Dylusions ink, added some dots with a yellow pen, I added Distress clear rock candy to the bigger stars, stuck a moon face charm on and voila a very simple tag, hope you like it? Thank you for visiting xxx

Dream

Good evening Lovelies! I hope everyone is managing to keep warm and dry?

Here is my second post for today! A very simple card, 6x6 the stamps are from Visible Image, the flower is a spellbinder die I cut all three and layered them up, I coloured the butterfly and flower with DI, the embossing folder is a 6x6 by CC, I pierced around the edges of the first layer using my Tim Holtz ruler, I love this technique, it just finishes off the edges nicely I think, thank you for visiting today xx

StenSkape!

Good morning Lovelies! An early post from me as I've been awake for quite some time I'd put it to good use!

Last night I thought I'd have a play, so I got out my StenSkapes, I've only got 2 and to be honest when I bought them I really wasn't sure I was going to use them, so here is my very first attempt, it's ok, but I need a lot more practice! It's not quite as easy as Tom makes it look.

So what do you think? I enjoyed using it, but not sure I will be using them often, I love my stamping much more! Thank you for spending the time to visit xx

Tags for a swap

Well it's been a while since I've blogged! Been having a tough time! My little foster girl moved last Thursday to her new forever family! We've had her 22 months so it's been really hard letting go! Don't get me wrong it's wonderful for her and she has now got a wonderful new Mummy and Daddy, but we love her so much and have been through a lot with her, so we are grieving our loss! I've not been able to craft for over a week, I've just not felt up to it! In fact I didn't get dressed for 3 days, but each day I have cried a little less! It takes time, I learned that from the last one, you never get over it but in time you move on and remember the good memories! I can't wait for that to happen this time, I can tell you it's felt like the end of the world, the pain is so real! :( "But" I have actually been out in my craft room and made some tags for a swap with a group I belong to, thank you for visiting my blog and reading my story, hope it hasn't depressed you too much?

60th Birthday Card!

Good evening Lovelies! I was asked tonight if I would make a card for a friends Mum who is going to be 60! She is a very glamorous lady and would never had thought of her as 60! She told me she liked flowers, but as she is a rather trendy and glamorous lady I thought I could get away with something a little more Funky as long as it was pretty too!

I used 8x8 white card base matted with black which I pierced all around the edge, I used white Linen texture card and blended Magenta tint through to shade Pan Pastels, the stamps are Wendy Vecchi Studio 490 the 60 is made from a template, the Happy Birthday stamp is from the patchwork numbers by Jane Nesterenko ! I hope I've spelt that right? I'm pleased with how it's turned out! Thank you for visiting!

A Canvas for Millie!

  Good evening Lovelies! Well today was officially our last day with Millie as a family! Tomorrow she meets her new Mummy and Daddy for the first time, so things change tomorrow! We had a lovely day at home, baking cookies for her new Mummy and Daddy, the neighbours kids came over to play and say goodbye! All very very sad, my hubby and I have been sitting bawling our eyes out most of the evening, this is the hardest part of being Foster carer's.

I've had a go at doing a Canvas, it's my very first time and I have to say I'm pretty chuffed with it! I have of course made it for Millie's new bedroom, which they have decorated in lilac!

It's only about 5"x3" I bought a pack of 4 for £2.99 a few months ago, not really knowing why I bought them? But thought they were a bargain, I'm soooo glad I did now! Could be another obsession lol? Anyway I started by using texture paste through a Dylusions stencil, I coloured it and all the flowers and butterflies with Pan Pastels! I hope you like it?
