Fairy Dust

Hi Crafters,

Just popping in for a quick share with you of one of a series of cards I've been making.

Using some Lavinia, Inkylicious and Sheena Douglas stamps, which work together beautifully, I have been creating a number of fairy themed cards.

Recipe

Lavinia Stamps - Fairies, Toadstools and Seed Heads

Sheena Douglas Stamps - Grass and flowers

Magazine Freebie - Sentiment

Distress Inks

Perfect Pearls Spray

These are so much fun to make and I have so many different coloured backgrounds in the making too. The combinations of Distress Inks are never ending.

After I stamped the seed heads I dabbed them with water and took off some of the colour to make them paler and more defined against the background.
Also it was a pleasant change from the plethora of Christmas cards I have made of late :o)

Braver Than You Believe!

Hi Crafters,

I love this quote stamp from Inkylicious and thought it was about time I used some of my stash of MDF plaques that have been waiting patiently to be decorated. So here it is...

I painted the plaque with Pebeo matt paint, cut the heart shape from LOTV dotty paper using a set of Xcut dies and heat embossed the glitter edging. Stamped the Inkylicious sentiment and heat embossed this also to make it stand out and added the spray of purple roses together with two die cut Joy Crafts flourishes. To hang it I added a length of frilly edged ribbon.

Well a bit of crafting time for me today whilst it is sleeting outside, hopefully the sun will come out later as I had planned to get out and tidy up the garden today :/

Hope you are enjoying your Saturday!

New Home

Hi Crafters,

This post is being blown to you from a very windy Norfolk today.

I have a New Home card to share with you all today created using a rather lovely stamp from Inkylicious.

Recipe

Sentiment Stamp - Inkylicious - New Home

Black Embossing Powder

House Dies - CraftEmotions

Distress Inks

I began by inking some white card with a range of blue Distress Inks until I had the sky how I liked it. Then I stamped and heat embossed the large sentiment and added the house die cuts in a row popping the red one up on foam pads for a little definition.

A quick and easy make this time.
