Arched Poinsettia on paper

 Happy Easter Sunday 

to you lovely people.

I don’t make Easter cards, but do have another Christmas card, 

using the Crafty Roo stamp that I used  recently HERE

I stamped and heat embossed in gold onto the old SU green paper with the whole design,

then onto the red paper that I used for the background as well, just cutting out the flower.

Mounted onto a SU Arch white die cut,

Taking this over to the Peace on Earth Christmas challenge #109,

anything goes, and a mood board.

I hope you have a peaceful day.

Thanks for taking the time to visit, and I really appreciate your comments

Take care and see you soon

Poinsettia tag

 Hi there, how are you doing?

I’m popping by today to share my tag in a few challenges.

Tag-along and ATC’s was the initial inspiration, under the “anything goes” option.

It’s a large Crafty Roo stamp, approximately 4 x 3 1/2”

which I heat embossed in gold onto some old SU papers, and fussy cut.

I added some ink with blend pens but I’m not sure about it…..what do you think

with or without 🤔?

I added sequins and ribbon, so will enter it into Just Add Ink #782

Below are the snippets I used, and the stamp sets I was lucky to win at the

Snippets Playground challenge,  #528 so I’ll be taking this tag to the playground too 😃

I’m hoping to pop by later with another project…..

meantime, I hope you have a relaxing day.

Take care and see you soon

Tag along with crafty roo

I have been lucky recently and won some lovely prizes, for which I’m extremely grateful.

I’ve been longing to enter the Tag-along and ATC challenge with a lovely large die set,

the one I’ve made here is only the third largest!

 

I received this Crafty Roo set so set about doing a decoupage collage.

My desk is still covered with Christmas stuff!

For some reason I opted for vanilla card, then inked with Poppy Parade and Shy Shamrock.

The weather is so dull it’s hard to get a decent picture, hopefully you can see some sparkle on the close up.

I’m not sure about my white highlights, I smudged the gold glitter glue,

and the sentiment went a bit wonky, but hey, shows it’s hand made eh?!

I used 3 strands of glittery ribbon and a couple of wired berries.

(I save all the bits from crackers…..does that mean I’m crackers?!)

I’m entering this into the challenge  Tag-along and ATC  using the anything goes option.

Thanks for taking the time to visit, and I really appreciate your comments

Take care and see you soon

Crafty Roo for Allsorts

 I really wanted to enter the Allsorts challenge this week, but had nothing fishy to hand,

so next best is a prize I won from them and haven’t used yet, a large corner stamp from Crafty Roo,

(my memory is getting worse, so please tell me if that’s not right).

Edited to add…….the gorgeous stamp was a prize from the Snippets Playground!

My inspiration was from Jo Rice, using the honeycomb and bee.

I made my own stencil using a Detailed Bee SU die,  inked with daffodil delight,

having stamped the large corner in black.

I coloured it and the bee (from SU Honey Bee stamp) with watercolour pencils, using the blue and yellow from the bottom mountain picture at “Hand stamped sentiments”.

I stamped two bees, using snippets of white, then fussy cut the main body and top wings to add dimension.

Then I faffed around 😂 with the card base and mount. 

I ended up fussy cutting around the large corner, 

and also cut my base card, from a square to more of a rectangle, as it just didn’t look right.

I’m entering the following challenges…..

Allsorts #798 (anything goes) 

NBUS #66 (never before used)

Snippets Playground #489 (use snippets)

We love stamping   (hand coloured)

Hand stamped sentiments #447 (mood board, bottom mountain pic colours)
