Falling Flowers

Hi Everyone. 

Here is a card inspired by a workshop I attended with Eileen Godwin some time ago.  It is certainly something a little different for me!

 

A very simple card using Brushos, cobalt blue (available from Oyster Paper Crafts) which I sprinkled onto card and spritzed with water to get the background. Be careful not to spritz to much water or you will loose the effect. When it was dry I stamped the Falling Flowers Stamp from Honey Doo Crafts with Black Versafine, painted with cobalt blue brush and embossed with clear embossing powder. I added the sentiment from the new Mini Sentiments stamps again by Honey Doo Crafts, matted and layered on to Blue and black card.
I think the result was great for a very quick and simple card.

Friendship Quotes

Hi Bloggers,
Thanks for dropping in!
I hope the weather has been kind to you. We have had some flutters of snow here in Lincolnshire so I've been busy crafting.
Here is a card I have made for Honey Doo Crafts

I started by using the new Frames and Corner stamp to make the background paper. Using a 6x6 card I cut the front across the diagonal and placed the on to it. I placed the navy blue on the inside of the card. I used spellbinders die Adorning Squares (available from Oyster Stamps) to cut out the topper which was stamped with Friendship Quotes. The leaves were stamped with A bottle of Vine stamp, coloured with polychromes pencils and the flowers stamped with Flower shower coloured with pro markers.

I do hope you like it.

Take care until next time.

Frames and Corners

Hi Fellow Bloggers,
Thank you for visiting my blog.
At last it is now up and running. As you probably know we have moved from Kent to Lincolnshire over the past few weeks so things have been pretty hectic but now we are getting back to normal so I hope to get back to blogging on a regular basis.
Thank you for visiting my blog.

Anyway here are two cards I made for Honey Doo Crafts using their new stamps.

For the first  I stamped the frame (from frame and Corner stamp) on to to black card and embossed in white, I then stamped the flowers in black versa fine, cut and shaped then placed into the corners. These were matted and layered on to white card then black using perfect rulers (Available from Oyster Stamps). I stamped and cut out the Floral Obsession the shaped to make the centre flowers. I then stamped the frame in black on to the background card, placed a topper in each corner and finished off with a sentiment from Birthday Sentiments.

The second is using the same set of stamps Frames and Corners. I am having lots of fun playing with these stamps. This time I used one of the smaller line stamps to create a trellis effect. I then stamped the small flower into alternate squares and painted with Honey Doo Mica powder Pink Sapphire.  I used the large frame to make a topper and stamped the sentiment using Birthday Sentiments. I cut out several of the flowers to embellish. I used a die to cut out the leaves and embossed them with green embossing powder to strengthen them.

I hope you like both cards. Take care and Have a great week.

Flower Power

Hi Everyone I hope you are all well. 

Here is a card I made for Honey Doo Crafts  for their show on 2nd October. It uses Sue Wilson Stripplet Dies which I backed on to double sided adhesive. I then stuck silver micro beads to the spaces left.  I then used Honey Doo Crafts Flower Power to add the embellishments, and a sentiment from the mini sentiment stamps.

Floral Crest

Hi Bloggers,

Now that that honeydoos have been on create and craft it gives me a chance to show some cards I made with one of their new stamps Floral Crest. The sentiments are from two more new stamps Mini sentiments and flower garden sentiment. I love this stamp and feel that it needs very little embelishment. I hope you like the cards.

crealies Patchwork cards

Well what a wet few days. I do hope that the weather will improve soon.

Here are my cards from a recent workshop with the talented Eileen Godwin.

   

 Some are stencils which we coloured with distress ink and then used translucent paste to give a little dimension. We then sprinkled Micro beads over to give a wonderful effect. 

 

This one is a watercolour image embossed with White embossing powder. 

I love them all so delicate.

 Keep Well

Abstract Tulip

Hi Bloggers,

Well I hope you are all well and enjoying your crafty fixes, I know I am.

Well isn't it interesting what you can do with just one stamp. I have been playing with the Abstract Tulip stamp from Honey Doo Crafts and have three very different cards. You may have seen them on create and craft show some weeks ago.

I always start by doing the obvious, I stamp the full image and make up a card. For this one I coloured with distress inks and added Die Cutting with the grand scallop by spellbinders and some Sue Wilson corner Dies

I then Tried stamping a Background paper then matted and layered on to black card stock

    

then I cut out the flowers and arranged as a border down the side of a card. 

I Love playing with stamps to see what interesting things I can do with them.
