Vases of Flowers

This is a very simple card to make. The stamps I've used are by Penny Black and I stamped the images with Marvey Blending Blox. I layered the images on to coloured card and added some ribbon and some gems.

Embossed Card No 2

This card was made the same way as the previous card except that the background was coloured with Glimmer Mist and I matted it on to cream card.

Embossed Card

I used shades of blue and shades of green Marvy Blending Blox to colour some white card, then I stamped the image in black. The stamp I used is by Hero Arts. Then I embossed the stamped card with a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, attached some ribbon then matted it on to black card and then matted it on to a green card blank. The sentiment was done the same way. I finished it off with a couple of bird charms.

Lily Card

The stamp I've used for this card is by Joanna Sheen.
I stamped the image with Versamark on to a white card blank and then dabbed on orange and yellow chalk. The main image was stamped on to white card and coloured with Promarkers, the first time I've used them, all the card has been edged with a Marvy Blending Blox shades of gold. I rounded the corners of the image then matted on to a terracotta card and then stuck some black gems in the corners, I did the same with the happy birthday. I put some orange ribbon on the side of the card before attaching the happy birthday.

Fishing Card

I made this card last week for a friends birthday, as he's mad about fishing I thought I'd make him a fishing card. I couldn't get any inspiration from the fishing stamps I've got so I thought I would use my computer. I printed a photo of my friend six times and cut them down to make a pyramage, I also used the photo to make the background paper.The fishing sentiment is from After Midnight and the happy birthday is from Rubbadubbadoo. I edged all the straight edges with gold peeloffs.

Another Fun Challenge Card

I've had this stamp for years and this is the first time I've used it. It's made by Stamps Happen. I stamped the image onto white card and coloured the background with Kaleidacolor pastel and I used felt tips on the woman. I've no idea who made the spotty background paper.

Fun Challenge Card

This is one of the three cards that I made for the KCUK fun challenge. The stamp I used is by After Midnight and it was stamped on K&Co paper. The background paper is also by K&Co. Isn't he a hunk?

Another Card

Here is another card using the same image as the last post. The background paper is by Basic Grey and I embellished the card with some gold thread and some green jewels.

Birthday Card

Here is a card that I made a earlier in the month. I've no idea what make the stamps are that I used. The image is stamped on to card that has been coloured with glimmer mist and the background paper was stamped with worn lipstick Distress Ink.

Can't Show One Without The Other

Here is a photo of my other Working Cocker Spaniel, he's called Josh and he's 6 month old. I think he likes his new playmate but but does tend to play a bit rough.

New Member Of The Family

This is Murphy, he's 8 weeks old and he came to live with us on Saturday. He's a Working Cocker Spaniel and he's soooooo cute. I know my blog is for my artwork but I couldn't resist.

Journal

I enjoyed making this. I covered a couple of 9"x 6"mountboard pieces with green foiled paper and then dabbed gold and bronze Brilliance ink pads on the piece that was going to be the top cover. On top of this I put a piece of Grungeboard that I'd painted with Viva Precious Metal paint. The Crafty Individuals stamp was stamped on to mountboard then triple embossed and edged with pink ink. I made three Grungepaper flowers and coloured them with gold Viva Precious Metal paint and edged them with bronze then put some metal brads in the centre. I added some Grungeboard flourishes and a pinky green ribbon. Unfortunately my photo doesn't show the colours properly.

18th Birthday Card

Last week my friends daughter was 18 and this is the card I made for her. All the stamps used are by Stampotique and all the colouring was done with Glimmer Mist. I matted the stamped image on to Black Magic Card and sanded it so that the colour underneath came through.

Colour ATC

In October the group that I belong to did a Colour swap and this is the ATC that I did. The stamp is a Crafty Individuals one and I coloured it with Dauber Duos.

Caught In Crystal Tag

I framed my caught in crystal piece with a black frame and used teal zircon and nutmeg Radiant Rain dabbers to colour the frame. The tag was coloured with gold Mica Mist and teal zircon Radiant Rain dabber. All the stamps used are by Crafty Individuals.
