Hair!

I started by inking a background then stamped mona with black stazon. I inked a chipboard heart to match and stamped the word on some of the spare inked paper and covered it in glossy accents.I added some highlights with an inkssentials white pen. I put a brad to match and some ribbon.

Bags

After a weekend of decorating in the hot weather I felt in the need of some simple playtime and these are what I made with my trusty cricut - something pretty and I feel better now after a weekend of no crafting

Hang in There!

Allison's challenge this week is "no colouring!" So I stamped this rubbadubbadoo stamp with versafine vintage sepia (the temptation to colour him in was immense!but I resisted!) I then embossed some gold card with a cuttle bug embossing folder. I added some spots to a prima flower and fastened it in place with a pearly brad. I added a photocorner that I cut with a sizzlet die colouring in the swirl with an inkssential pen and added a tiny gem. How did the ribbon get there??

Dot!

This weeks Funky Fairy Challenge is dotty and spotty so I thought I'd have a go I stamped the background with a hero arts spotty stamp with cherry pink stazon. Then I thought this little girl from a set of clear stamps from Lakeland was quite appropriate cause she already has a dotty dress I coloured her with watercolour pencils and stickles. I finished the card with a word sticker, ribbon and a brad!

Music For the Heart

At long last play time so I've done "Leonies Fab Friday Number 7 - Music for the Heart"

I started by printing off the lyrics of "Timbaland - Apologize"on paper and acetate. I then coloured the background with two red ink pads and gilded the edges. Then I gilded a slide frame and put some of the acetate behind and backed it with some crafty individuals paper.

Lastly I took a grungeboard heart and coloured it with the red pads I stamped a design by Heidi Grace and doodled over it with my inkssentials pen and filled the flower with glossy accents. I then gilded the edges again. It was all finished off with a butterfly charm and a rub on in the corner of the frame.

Martini?

A card for an old friend so out came my house mouse stamps. I coloured them in with water colours and cut the name on my cricut (what did I do before I got that?) Another quick card1 Hopefully I'll find some time soon to do some real playing!!

Baby Girl

Another order - not much play time there!!

This time a pretty baby girl card. Nice and simple. I cut the word on the cricut. Background paper is from craftwork cards. Gems and ribbon make a welcome appearance

More Luck

My other good luck card. Again words are done with stickers and rub ons. All paper is from hot off the press. I'm up to date now on orders anyway

Good Luck

More good luck cards today - here is the first one! The writing is with rub ons and the pencil is from jolees by you. All paper by hot off the press.

Bird Ribbon

I started by stamping the crafty individuals bird stamp with brown versafine. Then I restamped the image and embossed it - I then cut the frame. I then coloured the leaves in with watercolour pencils. Glossy accents were added to the bird. The bird was then matted onto holographic silver card. The background paper is from the english paper company - siesta mocha. I finished the card off with brown ribbon passed through a large brad and gold gems. The little flower at the corner of the frame is cut using a punch.

Spanish Lady

Allisons challenge this week is to use one of the

Girls of the world clip art images! So I printed them out and chose the spanish lady.I masked her so only her dress would pick up the stamped flowers . Then I coloured the rest of her with watcolour pencils.I made her fan sparkley with stickles and finished the card of with my old faithful ribbon and a couple of brads.

Father

Not much time today so a simple card. Stamps are from Woodware - veggie patch collection. I coloured it in with watercolour pencils and embossed the background.

21st

A quick card that turned out not so quick! I used K & co addison papers and stamped the background with tanda stamps. I then cut out 21 but cut it out too big so had to cut another out 1! I then cut the name out and added a few teeny brads to the numbers. Hey presto done!!!

Journey

A card to match yesterdays with my journey crafty individuals stamp and some hiedi grace stamps. The paper is from the english paper company - siesta mocha. I embossed the hiedi grace stamps and doodled dots with a n inkssentials pen

Friendly Card

For this card I have used a Crafty Individuals friends stamp and Paper Artsey swirly border stamps. For accents on the card I used gems and dots of inkssential white pigment pen.

Badger is 60!

I get some strange requests for things to put on cards and this time was no exception. A badger ! It doesn't matter how much stuff I have people always find something I haven't got . Anyway I did it I found a cute badger on the computer and cut the numbers with the cricut. The tag is made with a quickutz die. Words are all done with peel offs because I had to hurry up and get the card finished. Actually I'm really pleased with this card

Thanks a Bunch

The bunches of grapes were stamped with royal purple stazon. I then coloured the leaves with green gelly roll pen and the grapes with glossy accents. The Thanks a bunch words are actually part of a stamp with flowers on but I thought it was very appropriate so I masked the flowers off to use it! Guess how I finished it all off
