Hello
I have a quick Art Journal Page today using a lovely floral stamp with papers added in a patchwork style.
I have overstamped various background images to bring the layers together.
I hope you like it.

Hello
I have another card today using one of my stock stencil and stitched cut-outs.
This one is for my friend who was poorly so I added a punch art flower.
Thanks for visiting.

Hello
I have a card to share today which I have made as part of a stash busting exercise. I cut lots of card using a set of stencils and then added stitching detail and co-ordinating paper.
For this stencil I folded co-ordinating papers to create a nice corner.
This card is obviously for a 40th birthday so I added some numbers from stock which I coloured with an alcohol marker to co-ordinate.
I hope you like it.

Hello
I have another quick card today using a mask.
I started with a piece of card that I had painted with green and yellow acrylic paint.
I then used the same green paint mixed with some texture paste through the mask.
I added a strip of co-ordinating harlequin paper and 2 yellow diecuts and then the final addition of 3 paper daffodils I had made using a die and patterned paper.
A little different.
I hope you like it.

Hello
I have a card today which uses one of my favourite Daisy stamps from the wonderful Hobby Art.
I started by stamping in each of the corners. I masked the original images and stamped either side to fill the corner. I coloured using watercolour pencils which give a really subtle effect.
To complete the card, I added some co-ordinated layers of cardstock – one plain and one a colourful dotty pattern.
Finally, I added some embellishments picking out the turquoise colouring from the daisies – some daisies and corners.
I hope you like it.

Hello
I have a simple but pretty card today.
I started with the topper. I used pastels to create the background by blending purple and blue pastels together until the card was sufficiently covered.
I then stamped in black ink and clear embossing powder the butterfly stamp from my stash.
I used various flourish stamps to accent the pink background layer and to add interest.
Finally, I added a purple layer with a co-ordinated paper ribbon (made using paper punches) and a corner punch on 2 corners.
A simple but pretty card I think.

Hello
I have another card to share today.
I love collage stamping and here I have utilised the waste from a die cut to create a mask.
I used a selection of stamps from my stash, including a flourish, text, harlequin and filigree and overstamped until the shape was sufficiently filled.
I added some ink with a sponge around the edge of the mask to add definition.
For the background, I used some large diecuts in grey and sparkly black.
I like the grey tones and think this would make a fantastic masculine card.
Thanks for visiting.

Hello
I have a quick share today and I love this card…mainly because I love cupcakes (or fairy cakes when I was a child) but at least this sort has fewer calories!
I love stamping in a circle and I think it looks interesting.
I always start stamping in North, South, East & West positions and then I mask the images (although in this case I didn’t need to because they wouldn’t be overlapping) and stamp in between.
I coloured the images using coloured pencils for a subtle look.
I layered an assortment of co-ordinating papers behind the main image and I added detail around the edge with a fine black pen.
Lastly I added a beautiful paper rose which I had created using a floral die from my collection.
A very happy cheery card to make you smile.
Thanks for visiting.

Hello
June for me is birthday season, so I can now share my Dad’s Birthday Card.
I was at a loss what to do for him on his 82nd birthday so as he is ex RAF and likes planes, this is what I did…
I used my new die set from XCut.
I cut everything in white cardstock and coloured everything using watercolours…
I watercoloured the background…
I watercoloured the components…
and assembled…
Then put it all together…
The plane and ship are connected on a split pin, so they actually move around the world…
Absolutely appropriate for an 82nd birthday…I think!

Hi
Further to Mums Birthday Card, this was Dads…
I just adore these Tim Holtz birds. I could colour them all day.
