Under the weather!

This gatefold card was made for someone who may be feeling under the weather. One of the samples I used for a stamping class. The dog reminds me of our miniature daschund. Probably why I bought the set of stamp in the first place. I coloured the image with Sakura glaze pens

Sorry can't remember who the stamp manufacturers are but if anyone knows please leave a comment on my blog. Thanks.

Not getting older.......

I stamped this card for stock coloured with watercolour pencils and used peel-offs to highlight the golf club and ball. The stamp is by "I Brake For Stamps"

I spent the afternoon trying to tidy my craft room and I have only managed a small corner. Got bogged down trying to sort out my sequins. Why does the container always tip as you take it out the cupboard!

I'm in love !

I spent most of today working on my next card for the Crafty Devils Papercraft website. Managed to finish the instructions , all I need to do now is upload the photos.
I have fallen in love!!!! At 54 years of age and counting you ask? Yes, with Magnolia stamps. Stamped and paper-pieced my first Tilda today and I love her, love her, love her.Hopefully I will be able to let you see her tomorrow.

Good News

Two pieces of good news today. Looks like I may have another class starting and my oldest daughter is coming for a visit this weekend.Haven't seen my daughter for about six months so I am really looking forward to her visit.
Had a scrapbooking class this morning and preparing for tomorrows cardmaking class this afternoon. They will be paper-piecing some rubber stamped images and if I have time I will post one of the samples I made tomorrow.

Another Z-fold card

I seem to be making a series of Z-fold cards at the moment. The image is one of my favourite stamps by Creative Stamping. I watercoloured her dress with Marvy pens and finished it off with fine glitter and a Swarovski crystal. Sorry the image is squint. Technology, as I have said before, is not my strong point

"Ladybirds In Love" Engagement Card

I have been playing today, with a stamp I bought over a year ago and have never used. I bought it with some other stamps from the USA but I can't remember the name of the maker. Sorry!

Anyway I thought it would make a quirky engagement or wedding card. I stamped it with Staz-on and glossy card and coloured it with Sakura pens. I mounted it on a red pearlescent Z fold card and stamped the greeting with a Woodware stamp and Brilliance ink pad. Ideally I should have used Staz-on for the word but I am never happy using Staz-on with clear stamps. I think this is why the " Congratulations" is a little blurred. Oh well.......

Decided to enter it for the Funky Fairy challenge 21

Spring Card

Well,I got the camera fixed but the laptop is now playing up. Managed to upload the spring card I made for tonights class. The stamp is by Penny Black and I watercoloured it with Marvy pens. Quite pleased with it!
