Inky fingers

Still love to get ink all over the place :-)

Play day

Got together with Sue today and managed to knock up a few cards inbetween mince pies!

Still enjoying using my spellbinders dies.

Missing in action

I have not been online much for the past couple of weeks, due to family commitments.
I have made the odd card while I have been away, using my new grand calibur and spellbinders dies....

for dads nurses

For mum

Who believes in fairies?

I absolutely adore these stamps!

Slowly getting to grips with the inks too, although I think I maybe a little heavy handed at times.
Need to get my head around the 'less is more' idea.

Variation on a theme

OK its official.....I am now a brayer addict!

Today I managed to use an image from my Joanna Sheen cd, dancing with shadows, imported it into my craft studio professional and created the perfect reflection.
So its cheating a little, but have you ever tried to get a perfect reflection with a brayer??

Pleased with the result I printed a few to play around with different colour schemes.

Almost impossible to pick a favourite.

I also revisted the fairy stamp I bought at Doncaster and put some more detailed elements in the background to look like mountains.

Shrink plastic is just fab!

A shiny new camera

I went out and treated myself to a new camera today.

What a difference it makes having 14 megapixels instead of a measly 2!!

I took some photos of the wedding cards I am making for someone at work. None of the cards have a greeting on the fron so I can personalise them at a later date.

This card was made using some beautiful pearlescent white card and mounted with a mat linen finish silver card. The flowers were made using a punch. The little bird embossing folder is perfect for wedding cards. A little ribbon and some gems to complete.

This card was made using the spellbinders in spades die. One of my favourites.

This card I did using an embossing board to create the diamond pattern and a simple nestie to cut out the aperture. The little flowers were made with a punch. When I made this card I was planning on it being a wedding card but it looked a little boring.....until I added the heart gems!

Maybe not a wedding card anymore but a fabulous birthday card.
