I have used an image from our sponsor Sheepski Designs called Birthday Cocktail to make a birthday card, I have used a stencil with spray ink masking off about half of the card front and a Cadence stencil MA-27. I then allowed it to dry before outlining the circles with a black fine line pen (also on the straw), The image was painted with watercolours. The sentiment is a stamped and heat embossed Cheers from Letter-It Birthday set and a Create with TLC digital stamp.

Couple of Cards

 Hello again, 

I'm enjoying a couple of much cooler days after a week long heat wave 33C+, my poor budgies are all fluffed up trying to keep warm (14C) and have started moulting... while running back-up on my computer this morning I decided to make another Christmas card for my stash. This one is number 8 for the year... 


This card is a total scrap/snippet job I stamped the dog onto a snippet of white card stock and heat embossed in black powder before scribbling with watercolour pencils on another scrap of card and painting them onto the image. I die cut the sentiment from a scrap of silver paper and on the photo the Christmas looks a little lost against the background, not so bad IRL. The holly and berries were cut from some more scraps from Doodlebug papers.. the green leaves are from a different paper pad there are flowers on the back....

I have also made one birthday card using my distress oxide inks smooshing them on my gelli plate, spritzing with water, heat drying before moving on to the next colour. I then using the same colours to paint the heat embossed butterfly adding a tiny drop of water so the colours are brighter inside the stamped image.

edit... not sure how but forgot to add the watermark over my card...

I have used an image called The Moment from Ching Chou Kuik to make a birthday card which I think will be for my Mum, who loves to  read and drink tea. I have used some very old paper from a magazine including the lovely label, another magazine freebie a shrink plastic butterfly which is resting on the side of the teacup and doesn't look quite so dark in real life.


We would love to see any and all crafts you are working on, all handmade crafts are welcome.
