An overdue post

 
 
It's been a while but I'm back with a few cards that I made just for fun.
 
The first one was inspired by a window display I saw while out shopping the other day. I loved the pink, brown, beige and torquoise colour combo.
 
 
 
This next one I designed after making up some backing paper using distress inks and gold embossing. The stamp used is the Naked Tree by Clarity Stamp
 
 
The final card was also designed using some backing paper I made up using distress inks. For the flower and the mat layer I also used some pearl paper that I made up a while ago and had stashed away. The stamp is by  Crafty Individuals.
 
 
Just noticed I'm showing as being in Surbiton no wonder I've been missing!!
 
Hopefully I'll get back a bit sooner next time. In the mean time thank you for visiting, I really appreciate it.

Girl on a Swing

Today I am sharing a card I made using the fabulous Girl on a Swing stamp set by the lovely Jayne
As I was designing this card inpiration struck and she actually does swing as you can see from the photos. It is a stepper card and I used papers from my stash  and DI to cover it.
I coloured the images with polychromos pencils and blending solution.


 
Thank you for visiting today and apologies for not being around much lately.

Boy and a bunny

 
 
Hi everyone, hope your weekend has started well.
I went out with my lovely friends for a meal last night. The food at Masons in Bloxwich was delicious and we had a really good laugh which did us all the power of good.
Today started well, lovely and sunny so John and myself had a run out to a nice garden centre (unfortunately no crafty stuff at this one) and had a nice cupa and teacake. Sadly it is now raining but we are back home, with John listening to the Wolves match on the radio  while I'm on here and catching up with Corrie on telly. Well us ladies can multitask can't we?
 
Well now I have a little card to share with you. Once again I have used one of the new stamp sets by the lovely Jayne.
 
 
I used water colour pencils and blending solution to colour the images for a change and I think the papers are by Marianne. He's such a cute chap isn't he?
 
Well I'd better go and get crafting as I've a couple of commisions to get done plus some cards I need to get done for myself.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend and thanks for stopping by today.
