pretty pastels

Hi everyone, sorry I have been absent for a few days.

My card today has a background made with distress oxides swiped on with a credit card. The stamps are new ones that I have just recieved from Angelique, so this is the first outing. I diecut the snippet of green so the fairy was not suspended in the air! It matches the green di a lot better IRL!

Moving House

Hi everyone, I hope you all well

A very CAS card that I made for this week's CASology challenge which is 'house'
I used di's to create the hill, and the stamp is from a Penny Black set

Thanks for visiting

Resist

 Today's card was made using the resist technique. I first stamped my flower with Versamark and then heat embossed with detail white EP. I used some washi tape to mask off the sides and then sponged with di's, wilted violet, cracked pistachio and broken china. A little flick with some water finished it off

violet and black birthday

Hi everyone.
Today's card is based on the sketch at Paperbabe.
I have used my Paperbabe "Peony and Bud' stamp, slightly off the page, using wilted violet oxide di. I also used a Paper Artsy stamp for the speckles at the top. The corners are rounded and then I layered onto a black mat, added a strip of washi, and the die-cut word.

blues and purples

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well.
I have been playing with my new stitched dies from Stamplorations, and I am very pleased with them.
I stamped my hydrangea (Rubber Stampede) and added it to the pretty purple card base. I also added Madeira corner (Memory Box)in silver card and the double layered butterfly (possibly Spellbinders).

New baby card

Hi everyone, and a warm welcome to my 2 new followers.
I have made this card for a co-worker, who has just become a grandmother for the first time. Her new grandson arrived at the weekend - no name yet!
This is an un-named stamp which I have coloured with my Promarkers,
Caramel, Silver lining Argent, Arctic blue, and Cloud blue.
I used a stitched circle die to cut it out, then layered onto som matching blue dp. The edges are sponged with Broken China DI

Zebras

Today's card features a beautiful stamp which does not need any embellishment at all. I stamped onto a very pale cream card snippet, then layered onto a di background, then layered again onto a cream card base. I used chalks to lightly colour the trees and the ground.
