A little bit of pink!

Really dark card today. I thought I had lightened it up enough,

but unfortunately not. I am working in bad light as I have been

keeping the blinds closed in my room while the roofers were here.

I played around with the Gorgeously Made Bundle and my colour is

Bubble bath pink.

I created some layers with the page die, added the leaves and some gold

thread and gold gems.

I did do a video showing the process but for a tag.

The video will be on my Shop page over on Facebook.

Rise and shine!

It was my turn to choose the theme for this fortnight over at

TAG TUESDAY

and I have gone with animals!

I made some more backgrounds using Gorgeously Made,

Foursquare Decorative masks and embossing paste.

I then stamped the chicken, coloured him up and cut him out

to 3d onto the tag. I added the sentiment and finished with some

ribbon stapled in place.

I hope you get time to play along.

Just add animals/insects/birds, whatever you have.

We will be so happy to see you there.

A few baubles!!

Happy Monday!

I have finally started my Christmas cards!!

I found a stash of cream card waiting to be used so dug out

some retired bits of paper to see if I could get a card from them.

I did and even had a strip for the inside.

The papers are really sparkly yet have a lovely vintage

Christmas feel. Reminds me of my childhood when my

parents hung paper baubles from the ceiling.

I used the patchwork pieces to cut the paper and glued to some

night of navy card. The stamp set is called Christmas Gleaming (R).

I stamped the bauble and coloured it in with blends.

The sentiment was stamped in night of navy ink

and I finished it off with some green/gold ribbon.

Pretty pleased to have one under my belt!!

For my card I made a mixed media background using

a variety of stamps and colours. I added some stencilling

and a bit of paste for texture.

I then ran it through the patchwork pieces die set.

I matted the pieces onto some pumpkin pie card

and layered it onto my base card.

I stamped the flower and leaves from the Darling Details set,

cut them out and layered them onto the corner.

I stamped a few little butterflies, coloured them up, cut

them out and added to the card.

It was then finished with a stamped sentiment.

Beautiful birthday bouquet

Happy September!

Today is our 44th Wedding Anniversary💓

Where did that time go??

My card today is made up of die cuts from the gorgeous

Paper Florist set. They have been coloured up and positioned

onto an embossed background.

The sentiment is stamped though and it's from a set called

Artistically Inked.

I will have a video tutorial over on my shop page Here.

So we had no tiles on the roof yesterday and YES it

rained all day long!

We had to get the boys back out as the water was coming

through the bedroom light fitting.

What a day, the poor fella was so annoyed but what can

you do about the weather.

He had the roof well covered but the amount of rain was

just too much for it.

Fingers crossed it gets finished today.
