Just For You

I just love this stamp!!!  It’s from a set of free stamps that came with a magazine I bought.  Lot of open space for colouring.  I coloured this one up with Shinan Touch Twin markers and added a little Prismacolour pencil to highlight.

Loving my Distress inks

This card was painted with Distress reinkers.  The stamp is an oldie from Stampin’ Up.   I found this scrap of “handmade” paper in my stash that just seemed so right for this card.

Definitely a girlie girl card

Lots of girly glam with this card, eh?  Stickles, flowers and shoes that I definitely can’t wear.  ( too bad. so sad).

Things that Fly

I recently bought this Magenta stamp from someone ready to send it on to a new home.   I painted it up with watercolour, added some layers, mounted it to a base card that I embossed with a long rectangular Nestabilitie that my sweet sistah gave me for my birthday.

Thanks for stopping by.

Uptown Girl

Here’s another card using another one of Stampingbella’s gorgeous stamps.  This is Uptown Girl is coloured with Touch markers and highlighted with a bit of pencil crayon.  I added some Liquid Pearls and sponged Distress ink on the Spellbinder Nestabilities label.

Waiting for My Master

I’m really smitten with this stamp from Stampingbella.  I coloured it up with Touch alcohol markers and added a little Prismacolour pencil crayon for highlights.  The sentiment is by Magenta.

Thanks for looking.

What happened to summer?

Last week we were enjoying temps in the high twenties with lots of sunshine.  It went on for 6 days and was it ever nice to feel the warmth of the sun.  Mother Nature loves to tease us though as  we’re back to single digit temps with mixed precip.  I refuse to believe that winter has returned, so here’s a couple of springy cards. 

Thanks for visiting.

Framing an Image

I’ve framed around my watercoloured image with a square Nestabilitie and I absolutely love this look!    If you’ve not tried this, the sandwich recipe is on the Spellbinders packaging and can be adapted to the die cutting machine you have.  When my Cuttlebug “passed on” I replaced it with a Big Shot and I absolutely love it.

Thanks for taking the time to visit.

Inchies

This was a fun card to make.  I kept the colour pallette quite neutral.  I’ve used Inkadinkadoo, Magenta and a few other small stamps from my arsenal.

Red, Black & White

I know, long time no bloggie.  What can I say; it’s either stamp or blog.  LOL.  I’m going to try updating my blog on my lunch hours at work and see if that works any better.

Anyways, enough of the blah-blah.  Here’s a card I made a while back and I love this colour combination.  I find it quite striking.     I used one of my favourite text stamps from Hero Arts and the Spellbinder butterfly die was run thru my Cuttlebug.  

Thanks for stopping by for a peek!

Happy Valentine’s Day

Wishing everyone a very happy Valentine’s day.

I recently bought a new die (Grand Madison Window) and couldn’t wait to test it out.  I love it and so did hubby!

Stamps:  Magenta, Quietfire Design, Daisy Bucket

Other Stuff:  Flower Soft, Martha Stewart foliage punch, red glitter embossing powder, Shin Nan alcohol markers, Prismacolour pencil crayons, mineral spirits.

Not A Single Stamp!

I think this paper speaks for itself and rather than obscure the beauty of the paper I opted for just a simple strip of dotted paper and some flowers from my stash.

A Lovely Winter Scene

This stamp is from Stamps Happen.  I’ve coloured the image with Prismacolour pencils and added some glitter. 

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree…….

I love this tree stamp from Magenta.  I coloured with Prismacolour pencils and Taltine and added some gold Liquid Pearls.

Prismacolour

    

I so love my Rubbermoon stamps and these 4 cards were such fun to make.  All of the images were coloured with Prismacolour pencils and blended with odorless mineral spirits.  I find that Prismacolour pencils really are the best pencils crayons for this technique.

Have a super day!

Twinkling H2Os

I was definitely on a roll when I did these cards.  I followed the same process for each of them; painting  the rubber stamp with H2Os, slightly misting with a mini mister and then stamping on to white cardstock.  My Cuttlebug definitely got a workout  too.  LOL

I think I like the last one the best.  How about you?  Do you have a favourite?

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

My Oasis

This is a page I did in my Art Journal.  I started by applying a coat of black acrylic paint to the page and once that was dry I combined flower stencils with hand-drawn flowers.  The flowers were first done with a lead pencil.  I then painted them all in with my “Twinks” (H2Os).  To finish the piece off, I outlined the flowers with black and white markers.

I’m really pleased with the end result.  What do you think?

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a wonderful day!

How many of these can I whip up?

I SO love this stamp and am wondering how many different colour combinations I can come up with.  I was doing a happy dance whilst colouring her.  Like yesterday’s card, I stamped with Memento ink on smooth cardstock, coloured with Touch Twin Markers and added a bit of Prismacolour pencil to highlight.  And of course, I had to use some Stickles and Glossy Accents.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great week!

‘Tis that time of year once again!

Jumping on the band wagon with Christmas cards and I decided to go with non-traditional colours for this one. 

I stamped with my fave ink (Memento), coloured it with Touch Twin markers and highlighted with Prismacolour pencils and to finish it off, added some Stickles.

Do I like it?  Yup!

Simply Stamped

This was a quick and easy card.  (Gotta love those!)   The flower is a retired Stampin’ Up.  Sentiment is from Rubber Stampede.
