Easter Card

I used a Martha Stewart punch to edge a piece of green card and attached the stamped image to it. The stamp I used is by Flower Soft and I coloured the image with Promarkers.

Bonjour Madame

I love the Mannequin Cafe stamps by Character Construction, this is my first attempt with them. The Eiffel Tower and Arc De Triomphe are by Invoke Arts, the rest of the images are by Character Construction.

Grunge

This is an ATC I made for a KCUK Grunge swap. I coloured the background with distress inks and painted some broken china Distress Crackle Paint in one corner. The swirly background stamp is by Creative Expressions and the chequered background stamp is a Stamp Bug SSP Guild stamp. The main stamp image and sentiment are by Stampotique. I edged the ATC with some arctic black Cosmic Shimmer UTEE.

Blue Challenge

These are two cards I made for a blue challenge. The image is by Darkroom Door and the colour is shades of blue by Marvy Blending Blox. For the butterflies I used a Martha Stewart punch and stamps. I spread Distress Stickles over the image and butterflies on the top card unfortunatly the photo doesn't show how glittery it is.

Corset

I really enjoyed making this for Lynne, it was for a corset mingle on KCUK. I stamped some pink roses on to some cream card and then embossed it with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I coloured some white lace with pink Glimmer Mist and used it to edge the corset, then I added some pearl beads and some roses. The rose stamp is by Clarity Stamps.

Easel Card

It was my son's 22nd birthday this week and this is the card I made for him.
The stamps I've used are Flippin' Stamps by La Pashe for the fisherman, the sentiment is by After Midnight and the border is by Elusive Images. I coloured the image with Promarkers, the more I use these pens the more I love them.

Deco Pages for Jo

I'm taking part in a deco book swap and these are the first pages I've made. They 're for a lady called Jo and the theme for her book is Country's.
The stamps I've used for the Egyptian page are by Non Sequiter. Nefertiti's head has been embossed with gold Metal Magic, I've also embossed a couple of the corners with the Metal Magic. I used Delight modeling clay for the Pharaoh's head and when it had dried I coloured it with gold Viva Precious Metal Colour.
The stamps I used on the England page are Cherry Pie Art for the castle, Big Ben and the Queen, Elusive Images for the poppy and Crafty Individuals for the trees in the background. All the colouring in has been done with felt tips. I triple embossed the Queens head.

Wild Flowers

The stamps I've used for this card are by Elusive Images and I coloured the image and edges of the card with Distress Inks, barn door and crushed olive. I mounted the image onto some black card and added some pale green gems.

Moo Cards

I made these Moo Cards for a swap, the theme is Time. I've never made a moo card before so it was nice to do something different. The background and clock face stamps are by Creative Expressions and the stamp I used for the wings is by Invoke Art. I coloured the background with distress ink and covered the card and clock face with Crackle Accents but it doesn't show up very well on the photo. The edges of the cards has been embossed with cobalt sky Cosmic Shimmer UTEE. I wanted the wings to move so I attached them with a brad and stuck the face to the brad.

Think Of A Number

The theme for KCUK's February ATC swap was numbers, this is my contribution. The black card is called Black Magic, I embossed it with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and then sanded it to remove the black and show the colour underneath. I've got a stamping set that's like the John Bull printing set that I had when I was a kid, I find it very useful to make up words to stamp, I used it to make the sentiment. The ruler is some preprinted tape that I had.

Iris Card

Another quick card. The Iris stamp is by Penny Black and the words are by Hero Arts. I used Marvy Blending Blox ink on the stamps, I seem to use this ink quite a lot, the images were layered on to coloured card and I added some ribbon and some gems.

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.
