Happy Birthday

How excited I was this week to receive my prize for winner of last months Power Poppy - Power and Spark challenge, thank you Marcella.  I just love PP stamps and of course I had to make a card with my lovely Camellia set. I stamped the image of a different type of card stock... it's very shiny and textured and absorbs the inks quickly... I used my shiny Twinkling H2Os to colour it. I faintly stamped script on to the mauve card and layered it with soft purple. Then finished it all off with a bow, gems and a stamped sentiment. So I'm posting again to the Power and Spark challenge - May Flowers. Thanks for taking a peek

Together is a Wonderful Place To Be

For my last card today I'm CASEing Shery's card for this months Stamplorations CASEplorations challenge.  I sponged some Distress Ink over a background created with ink on scrunched plastic bag. Then stamped the sentiment in black but it was kinda lost so I cut it out and mounted on white to frame it.  Thanks for taking a peek

Today is all about you ....

......oh my this has been an evolving card, over the week - still not sure I'm liking it as it is way too bright for me....I was a bit heavy handed with the blue around the flowers and used a white pen to break up the edge on the die cut and also the background. I used some lace and ribbon to dress it a bit and add a sentiment that could be used for a number of occasions.  I was guided with the layout at Try Stamping on Tuesday #269.  I have used Brushos to colour this card.  Thanks for taking a peek

Do What You Love

Last week Joanna at Inspired by Stamping offered this sentiment to download and use with our creation on the weekly  FB challenge.  I printed it on light card and teamed it with the fressias from the IBS Friends Forever set.  I used Distress Ink to colour the image and layered it onto green card. Thanks for taking a peek

Have a Beautiful Day

For my swap card this past month at Society of Stampaholics  I decided to go with the colour theme and also use cats.  I masked off a rectangle and used the theme colours in Distress Inks for create the background.  I stamped a silhouette garden as a background to my black die cut cat, then finished off with a stamped sentiment.  Thanks for taking a peek and hope Stacy likes her card.

Welcome

I'm posting today to Simon Says Monday challenge - Home Decor.
At present we are renovating and old old house and I was inspired to make this 'welcome' sign out of the old weatherboards. We are renovating a very old house and have removed the external walls, also discovered a few old bolts and  found this chain and old door bell to use.  I painted up some new wooden letters and distressed them with sandpaper and paint. and as I ponder what I've done so far I'm sure there will be some more 'decorations' added.  It's fair from a 'pretty' item but as a reminder of the old type of house I think it is perfect.  Thanks for taking a peek

Birthday Wishes

This week I got a great giveaway with a magazine.... a three part rose/leaf stamp and matching dies.... so I just had to give it a go today.  I used the layout at Try Stamping on Tuesdays challenge #268 to mount my three stamped roses and layered them onto some patterned paper and a darker border. Then finished with a stamped sentiment.  Thanks for taking a peek
