Sorry I have not been around for a while, but as I mentioned on my last post my Mum has been unwell after a fall and is still having problems. Other relatives are poorly too, so time for crafting has been a bit scarce. Anyway, my sister and brother in law have been married for 50 years and celebrated their Golden Anniverary yesterday. I made this card for them using the bookatrix board.

Fishing Penguin

This card is for this weeks Bah Humbug Challenge, the theme being Embossing. The Penguin and sentiment rubber stamps are both from Art Impressions. I coloured the hat, scarf, feet and beak with inktense pencils and the snow and ice with watercolour pencils, covered with stickles for the Christmassy sparkle, before sticking a tiny pompom on his hat. I used the circle nestability die and the cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder. The sentiment is stamped in green versacolour ink and embossed with clear powder. I used a Nellie Snellen oval die to cut this out and threaded lilac ribbon through the holes. I punched some little green fish and added some lilac buttons threaded with the same lilac ribbon.
The bp is from Artylicious seasons greetings, I do like this paper.
Thankyou for looking.

An Easter Thankyou

I made this card as an Easter Thankyou. The digi stamp is from Mo's digital pencil, I have coloured with promarkers and edged with distress ink. The sentiment rubber stamp is from elusive Images,stamped in pink and mounted on a circle nestability die. I used the swirl cuttlebug embossing folder, some pink spotty ribbon and bp from cute companions outdoors.
Thankyou for looking.

A watercolour door scene

Good morning, it is not as sunny today, but still quite pleasant here, the birds are busy trying to decide where to start building their nests in my garden.
I just love using these stamps by Art Impressions, I find it so therapeutic using the water brush to blend the colours with Marvy Leplumme Markers. The stamps used were doorway, small, vine, daisy bunch, wood planter, bare branch and jumbo tiny grass. The image was just matted with nestabilities, the backing paper is gingham by Joanna Sheen, the sentiment graphicus, with a simple lilac ribbon to finish off.
Thankyou for looking.

Rainbow lady's challenge

Hi what a beautiful day it has been today, the sun was shining and there was a bit of warmth in it. I took my dog Olivia to the beach and felt the real feel good factor.
This weeks Rainbow Lady Challenge is to stamp on an unusual material. Last week we put up some new vertical blinds and had to cut them to size. I kept some of the off cuts and this is what I used to stamp on with a stamp from The Stamp Man Aspects of Design Flutters and Florals using stazon.I thought this was an unusual material lol. I coloured with Sakura glaze pens and cut out with circle nestabilities. Thankyou for looking in today.

A christening card

My sister asked me to make a card for her granddaughters, my great niece's Christening. As she doesn't like anything too fussy and because she was being christened in a lovely Country Church in Yorkshire, I thought this would fit the bill.
The stamp is from Joanna Sheen, embossed with gold. The sentiment is computer generated and then layered on rectangle nestabilities. It is finished off with a simple gold ribbon and a rhinstone ribbon slider. Sorry the pic is a bit blurry.
Thanks for looking

My Daughters card

I made this card last week for my daughter's birthday, she loves cute and animals so I thought this image was perfect for her. The image is from Mo's Digital Pencil and coloured with inktense pencils. The buttons are tied with embroidery thread and the punch is martha stewart. I used round nestabilities for the sentiment at the bottom. It was my first easle card.
