In The Moment Chalk Pen

 Hi, we did this in class, so I can now share with you.

This is a very quick and simple way to Colour in your image.

It's white, so not exactly colour, and you can just select parts of the image

Typically, it looks whiter in real life!

I tried white pencils but the chalk pen dries to a nice bright white.

Any darkish card works, here I used Crumb Cake.

I added the cat from another set.

"In The Moment" is a fab popular set for all occasions

The sentiment is from Friendly Hello.

You can see I stamped the envelopes too.

Grace's Garden Decoupage (2)

Hi there

this is the card I made mum for her birthday.....

I used Grace's Garden set with an old decoupage image

I knew she'd like.

I kept the background subtle, but with the movement of the gate.

I managed to visit briefly, had a zoom video chat with family,

but sadly not her best birthday.

Not just because of the lockdown, but it would have been

my dad's birthday the following day.

She keeps a brave face on though.

Take care, keep safe,

treasure those close to you.

Grace's Garden Decoupage (1)

Hiya

I'm afraid it's Grace's Garden again.....I just love it so much!

Found some decoupage that I layered up with pinflair glue.

Some of the pieces were really teeny tiny!

I wanted to contrast the pretty girl making a daisy chain, 

with a muted stamped background.

Do let me know what you think as I may do another similar one?

There's a very cute cat again in the picture, can you spot it ?  :)

Take care

Grace's Garden on Crumb Cake

Hello again
today I have another Grace's Garden idea.
I love this set!

I stamped some foliage background, then layered up stamped die cuts that I coloured in.

I just love the cute little cat.......and the bird.

Take care

Bird Ballad in Grace's Garden

Hello

I fussy cut the bird from Bird Ballad,

then stamped a background, using inks and marker pens,

adding squiggles to ground the cat

Grace's Garden monochrome

Hello there

I needed a "quick" card.....we all know how that normally pans out!

In this case I stamped and die cut a few elements,

fiddled about a bit, did some second and third generation stamping in the background

(this just means you stamp a few times without adding more ink)

added a few gems,....et voila....

I raised some of it up on foam pads, and wished I'd maybe dry embossed the topper,

but I liked the white on white and simplicity.

(Highland Heather is the ink)

This is a set I knew I'd get lots of "play" out of.....do you find that with some products?

I hope you've had a good weekend

Happy New Year and Thank You

Hello

Happy New Year

Thank you for visiting, and for your blog land friendship.

Its time to make thank you's for all the support I've had

and all the cards and gifts received.

Here's my first attempt with a new set from the NEW Spring Catalogue out on 3rd January.

Grace's Garden

There are some sets that you just know you have to have....

this has oodles of elements to the stamp set and dies,

this card only uses a few, it is a very little card.

Spot the deliberate error!

I positioned and stamped the sentiment BEFORE adding the gate and foliage,

then I went and stuck the foliage to the gate, before sticking on the card.

Doh, now you can't read the first words properly!

Luckily you can lift the leaves up :)

I just did some gentle wink of stella colouring......I love using it's fine brush and some ink

to apply a gentle wash that gives sparkle too.

I hope this year brings all you wish for and more,

and some peace and comfort if you've had a tough time.
