Garden Fuchisa, Feathered Flourishes

Hi Bloggers,

Here again, welcome to my blog.

 I am away on holiday so I have found a couple of older crds to display. This one is made from honey doo garden fuschia which is painted with mica powders. I used the feathered flourinhes for the border. The more I use these flourishes the more I like them, they are becoming one of me go to stamps!

I finished off with a sentiment to complete the card. As usual all the stamps are available from Honey Doo stamps.

I do hope you are having a good week.
Take care

Hi Bloggers,



Here is a card I made in three different coloured Micas. I stamped the Rose with black versafine ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I masked it then stamped with the script background stamp and multi media glue. I added dry mica powder to give the background. Using the same colour Mica I painted the rose. The side panels are stamped with the swirl stamps, multi media glue and coated with Mica powder., (unfortunately this doesn't show well on the photo)  I find it interesting to see the difference just a change in colour makes. I hope you like them.

Hi Bloggers, 

Welcome to all you new bloggers and a special thank you to those who visit each week.

If you were watching Create and Craft last week you may recognise this card. I made it for Honey Doo crafts to showcase there new stamp range. The pretty peony was stamped and painted with mica powders. It was then masked before using the Script background to add some interest to the topper. I added distress inks to the edges completed the card by matting and layering on to Gold mirri card. The happy birthday sentiment was added and frayed hessian used as a ribbon completed the look.

Take care

Shower Bouquet,

Hi Bloggers,
So sorry I am late this week, I have been away for a short break, no wi fi!
Well I suppose its better late than never.
Here is a simple Christmas card which I made for Honey Doo stamps. I used the shower bouquet to make a christmas tree, stamped, embossed with clear embossing powder then painted with Mica Powders.

This was then matted and layered on black and gold card. Honey Doo Merry Christmas stamp was used for the sentiment.
A very simple Idea which I hope you like!
Take care
Janet

Shower Bouquet 2

Hi Bloggers,
I hope you are all well.
Here is another card made for  Honey Doo Crafts, again using their latest release  Shower Bouquet.
I stamped and embossed the image with Silver Sparkle embossing powder at the top and bottom of the card. I then stamped and embossed the image again on decoupage paper and coloured with blue lagoon Mica Powder. I then cut out and shaped the flowers, which I  then placed on the card.
I used the banner from up up and away stamp set for the sentiment.

I hope you like it.

 Hi all my friendly bloggers,

Did any of you get to Ally Pally? 

if so I do hope you visited the Honey Doo Stand where I am sure you would have received a ward welcome from Amanda and her team

Well after the unseasonal hot weather last week autumn has certainly arrived with damp mornings, darker nights and cooler weather so I thought I would bring you a nice card to brighten up your Day. 

Here I used the Pretty Peony stamp, from Honey Doo Stamps , which I cut out and decoupaged.I have tried to capture the depth of the decoupage in the second picture, I did use several Layers.  I often stamp on to white paper or plain paper for this technique, but for this one I edged each piece with picked Raspberry Distress ink I think it worked well. I used a Sue Wilson Die, Ornate Pierced Rectangles form her Noble Range, for the frame which also gave me the shape for the card.

The background is stamped with Honey Doo Script stamp which I embossed with Silver.  I always struggle with the sentiment when using large images, but this time I resorted to shrink plastic to make a tag which finished the card beautifully.

I hope you like it

Happy crafting

Take Care 

Janet
