Do You Think He Saurus?

Hello.  Welcome.  Just wanted to share a card I made for a special little man.  

I've used Signature dies, T-Rex and Wanted Poster.  The flower paper is a scrap of MME paper I think and the red is a posh envelope that I cut with the die and sanded.  The T-Rex was cut from a scrap of blue pearlised card and I used a Stormy Sky Distress marker to outline the details. I layered on a blue mat and black base card, using scissors to wiggle cut to match the die edges.

More Wings Please

Hello.  Welcome.  I have a little vintage style piece over at the Blank Page Muse blog today featuring this thoughtful man.  The white wings actually belong to the bloke, but I decided to get arty and splash them around.  Never be afraid to fussy cut bits off your image for a totally new look.  I have even been known to take scissors to stamps and rearrange them, but that's another story........

I used three Blank Page Muse stamps on this piece, Vintage Steampunk Gentleman with Wings, Steampunk Pocket Watch with Wings, and the sentiment Be Brave.  The stencil is from That's Crafty and is called Random Ovals.  Do hop over to the blog for all the details and leave me a little love so I know you passed by.  Thanks for visiting.  Hugz

Praline Chocolate with Sprinkles

Hello.  Welcome.  Whilst rattling through my stamps earlier I spotted this cute little dude with a cupcake and decided to use him on a tag.  

I cut the tag from a scrap of yogurt packaging using Stamplorations large Luggage Tag die.  I stamped the boy from Panduro's Children set onto the tag with black archival and used Promarkers to colour him.  I used a white gel pen for the candle and highlights.  Then I went a bit crazy with the glitter glue sprinkles!!  I stamped the small clustered hearts using a Rubber Dance stamp and blazing red StazOn, which is not the blazing red I was hoping for but more a crimson pink.  Has anyone got a tip for a really red good stamping ink???  I used Poppystamps Love Script Heart and cut a scrap of red card.  Then I backed it with a scrap of pink inked paper.  I cut round the boy's hat so I could tuck the tip of the heart behind him.  Some fancy wool and a red heart brad and done!!

Scandi Christmas

Hello.  Welcome.  I was checking out the gallery over at the Kickstart Christmas challenge where this time the delightful Jo  wants hearts.  There are a few entries that are red and white and hearts and look very Scandanavian.  I also saw the colour challenge over at MFT this morning and the red, red, grey and white also made me think Scandi so I had a quick hunt through my Panduro stamps and found this cute little Nisse with a tray of heart shaped cookies.  

OK, maybe I shouldn't have coloured the cookies bright red!!  I am sure they will still taste delicious.  Maybe they are red velvet cookies?  Made them one year.  Chocolate cookies with loads of red colouring.  Very festive.  So, stamps from Panduro.  I stamped the girl and the God Jul (Merry Christmas) banner.  I stamped the big heart and added some doodles to connect it to the banner.  I coloured with Promarkers, Molten Red, Crimson and grey and added some iridescent and red glitter glue.  Gotta have a little bling at christmas.  I did a simple Hickory Smoke distress ink water colour wash for the floor.  Cookie anyone????

Menagerie Set

Hello.  Welcome.  I have made a set of cards inspired by a design by Heather.  I liked the dotty patterned paper card base and the simple stamping on the panel.  So I cut up a 12 x 12 piece of patterned paper to make my card bases, and since I got three from one piece of paper I decided to make a set of three cards.

The patterned paper is from the Works.  I used Sizzix double stitch oval die to cut my panel and stamped the animals from Winnie and Walters Big Hugs clear stamp set.  Then I added a sentiment from Rubber Dance Just a Note (Norwegian sayings) to each panel.

Cute giraffes with a sentiment that means Thank You

Sweet bears with a sentiment that means Thinking of You

A cute elephant and monkey with a sentiment that says a little hello.

Unstamped Christmas

Hello.  Welcome.  There's a couple of challenges looking for no stamping, and I am so trying to use some of my stash, so tonight it's the turn of the stickers!!!!   I have lots of stickers!!!!  And it's christmas as well, cos I need to be making a few christmas cards a month.  So here we go, Memory Box Frosted Christmas tree with stickers embellishments.

I started with a white hammered card base and cut and embossed Memory Box Frosted Christmas Tree.  I used iridescent glitter glue, which has a pink sheen, to highlight the embossed areas.  I cut a pot from a scrap of black card and added a couple of strips of pink and cream paper tape.  

I found a couple of sheets of christmas stickers.  I added the fairy on the top of the tree and a teddy and a couple of presents at the bottom.  I cut a sentiment sticker in half and added it on either side of the tree.  Then I thought the pot was too dark so I added a poinsettia sticker on it.

Waiting for the Greens

Hello.  Welcome.  Spring is always green in my mind.  All those new leaves bursting out is a symphony of colour.  I've made a card to herald spring using green brusho's and green and gold Aztec paint from Colourcraft, and stamps from Rubber Dance and Lost Coast Designs.  

You can find all the details of how I put this together over on the Colourcraft blog.  Don't forget to leave me a little love so I know you passed by.
