Fairy hugs

 Hi crafting friends

I'm popping in today to share this sweet card I made using a lili of the valley image.

Its a digi image that I printed in grey and coloured using my Spectrum noir water colour pencils and inktense water colour pencils.

 

I die cut a circle around it, and layered it on another tattered lace die cut (I inked the edges a little).  I also used various other dies for the background.  The papers are from Anna Marie designs.  The banner is from Elizabeth crafts design and the flowers are from my stash..

I printed some lilac spotted paper and using my graphics package, wrote the sentiment, then spaced the letters so I could cut them apart.  I finished the card with more ink and some white gesso.

Not my usual style and I did look on Pinterest for some inspiration - there are so many gorgeous cards like this, and I'd love to make more. 

I hope you like it.

So... the last few cards you may have noticed I have looked around on Etsy for some new designers and ideas to play with.  I came across Vera Lane studios (who you may recognise from some of the aall and create stamps.  I have always love Alice in wonderland, and when I saw there was a different type of Alice, she was added to basket and checked out quicker than I could say 'I'm late!' 

I also wanted to try a bit of a new style.  Grungy but with pretty flowers and colour, so this was the combo I came up with.  I made several in this style and am loving it!

Hope you like it too!

How you bean??

 Hi everyone

Today I'm sharing a cute card using my favourite colour combination and stamp company (well one of them - there are sooooo many cute stamps out there I struggle to choose!)

Again  no particular reason for this card other than to bulk up my emergency stash for those times I have forgotten someone's birthday and need a card to grab! This one is a cute shaker card.

Please check out my Instagram and Facebook pages on the link here on the right, I'd love for you to follow me.

Ingredient list:

Lawn fawn - How you bean stamp set

Card and patterned paper form my stash

Coloured with Spectrum noir triblend brush markers

Glitter is also from my stash

Its so difficult to see in the photo but the glitter has both fine and chunky and is rainbow iridescent.  Its so pretty in the shaker! I also add, that it is all around my craft room so its certainly living up to its name! 

I stamped all of the images and cut them out using my scan and cut with a 1mm line around the edge.  The jar I cut the middle with my craft knife.  I know that there are dies to match, but I don't have them so I improvise!  I made the shaker by stamping the jar again onto the spotty paper and fussy cut it out, doing the same to the acetate.  Because the line was so thin, I couldn't cut my foam tape without it tearing, so instead I used some purple fun foam in thin strips and glued them together to form a strong bond to keep the glitter inside.

I coloured the images with my triblend markers and rummaged through my card stock to find some colours that would match.
