Doodled Flowers

Hi! Here's a Mother's Day card I made. I masked the circle before stamping the flowers, then coloured them with inks. I added gems to the centres of the flowers, for a bit of sparkle.

Cuddle Monster

Hiya! Here are some more valentines cards I made - I tried to do something a bit different from the usual hearts and flowers, and went for … monsters!

I smooshed inks onto acetate and then squished the monster image into the ink. When dry, I cut it out and layered it onto the card. Then I added sparkly horns with a gelly roll pen, and coloured the eyes and fangs with a white gelly roll pen.

You Stamped With What??

Hiya! There's a challenge over at Shopping Our Stash at the moment, to stamp with something that isn't a stamp! I was determined to come up with something for this, but it took a bit trial and error, and I'm still deciding whether I like the results or not... well, at least it's unique! There's a photo of the 'stamps' at the bottom of the post!

I stamped with the head of a screw, and used that to make flowers, adding Nuvo Drops to the centres. I drew the stems and leaves with a black pen. For the first card, I used the bottom of a pencil sharpener for a vase, then coloured it with Promarkers. In the second card I used the bottom of an oval perfume bottle (masking the top and bottom) to make the outline of vases, and coloured with inks. Here's what I made:

Drenched Painted Harvest Flowers

Hi! I can't put these SU stamps down! Here's another card, colours inspired by the current MFT challenge, although after spritzing with so much water, it's hard to see the pink, and some of the orange has become yellow. I love how the colours have spread, though! I used oxides, which has made the flowers look even softer :)

I Love My New JOFY Trees So Much

Hiya! I can't stop making cards with my new JOFY set. I really love these cute trees! Here are a couple of cards I made, by creating backgrounds with Distress Oxides, stamping onto the background, and then paper piecing onto the stamped image on the card. I usually hate cutting out, but even I can manage triangles, and using oxides for colour means I don't have to do any colouring in! :D I used a Gell Roll glitter pen and Nuvo Drops to add sparkle and dimension.

Wishing You Some Magic

Hi! Here are a couple of quick CAS cards I made. I coloured the wings with inks and a water brush. I added some shimmer to the moon with a Wink of Stella pen, although I'm not sure you can see it in the photos. I added Glimmer Dust to the fairy's wings and to the stars.

Dance 'Til You Fall Over

Hi! I can't dance for toffee, and when I try I'm more of a danger to anyone nearby than a thing of grace and beauty, but I love the image from the current Inkspirational challenge, and was determined to make a card for it. I haven't got any background stamps or papers with music on, so I made a background with Distress Oxides. I printed an image of a dancer, and labouriously cut it out (I really hate fussy cutting!). I cut a frame with my Big Shot, fixed the background behind it, and used 3D squares to attach the dancer in front.

A bit late, but...

Hiya! Here are 3 Mother's Day cards. At least I'm all set for next year...

I made this first one using a digi stamp from Lizzie Love. I coloured with inks and a water brush, drew the flower stems and stamped the leaves. I 3D-ed one of the flowers to give a bit of dimension, punched tiny flowers for the centres and added a gem.

Crafty Creations: 'Anything Goes'

I made this next one by clear embossing the flowers, and colouring with Brushos and inks. I went a bit crazy with some Glimmer Mist over the top of it, so it is quite shiny and hard to take a photo of! I added gems to the centres of the flowers.

Little Tangles: 'Watercolour'
Crafty Calendar: 'April Showers or Spring'

I make this last one with a stamp from Lavinia, stamping in oranges and yellows and with gold embossing. I used ink dusters to colour the background.
