Background birthday

 I wanted to join in the birthday celebrations over at Bev’s blog

This is what I used…

I cut myself a frame and ink blended the background with crushed curry and tangerine tango

Then with my hand made frame mask I used the same inks through the stencil ,

 stamped the little circles, added some enamel dots 

To add definition I drew some dashed lines with a fine liner pen.

I’m not normally brave enough to add hand drawn elements, but felt it necessary on this occasion.

Do pop over HERE to join the celebrations, there’s some great inspirational ideas.

There’s also an Inkspirational challenge using stencils, with fab ideas

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits and comments.

Bouquet Bunch

Hello again, hope you are snuggled up on this cold Sunday evening.

There are already signs of spring in the garden, the first bulbs peeking above ground.

I needed more birthday cards before xmas, so had a bit of a theme going.

I saw this idea of having a blank panel between a dry embossed top and bottom area.

Some I stamped, but this one I decided to use up some Snippets of white card,

by stamping and die cutting some little flowers, using

Beautiful Bouquet and Bouquet Bunch.

I love these soft colours, Heather, Grapefruit, Mango, and some pinks,

added some rhinestones, and one of my favourite stitched labels.

I have used some snippets, so will play in the Snippets Playground challenge.

Do click on the link and join in if you can, or just look at all the lovely projects.

Miss Di writes entertaining posts too, and you might also see a ball of fluff called Dudley! 

Keep warm

have a good week

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all my blogging friends!

Fresh year, fresh opportunities, and a couple of fresh cards....

Sheltering Tree and Stitched Label Framelits used here in an aperture card.

Showing things are not just for christmas.....can you see I used the Sprig Punch to adorn the corner?

Same colours as I needed quick Birthday cards, and had these fresh colours out 

( Lime, Pineapple, Mango)

The swirl, top left, is from the Dashing Deer Dies !

So do look at your dies and punches, and see how you can use them all year round!

Hope to see you back, as I'm going to start sharing some brand new goodies!

Wishing you a happy, healthy, prosperous, crafty New Year
