Too Long Away As Usual

Will I ever post to my blog on a regular basis? Why I find it so difficult I'll never know, weeks seem to pass so quickly these day.

Here is a simple card using some of the new distress ink colours and a stamp from Elusive Images. It's stamped in white and then coloured with the inks. The wording is from an old PSX set.

Sitting Pretty

I've been laid low with a virus, it took a week to get back to feeling human again. How do I pick these things up when I hardly leave the house?

Today my card was stamped in black versafine and embossed in detail clear. Coloured in with Promarker pens. I usually pick any card and designer paper I'm using first so that I don't spend hours looking for paper to match. The stamps used to be made by Time To Stamp but are now sold by I Brake For Stamps. The greeting is from a clear set by Woodware and was stamped in Brilliance pearlescent rust ink.

ATC's

These three ATC's were created for a swap on a group I belong too. Stamps used were girl from Paperbag Studios, three birds from Inkadinkado and flower from Elusive Images.

Easel Card Calender

I made this easel card calender for myself, it's sitting on my craft table and makes me smile everytime I look at it. The cat stamp is a clear set from Elzybells. I stamped the image with onyx black versafine ink and embossed with clear detail embossing powder. I used my Promarker pens to colour the image leaving the cushion uncoloured. I then stamped the cushion portion again on designer paper, cut it out and paper pieced it onto my coloured image. I then added a few more embellishments to finish it off.

Set of ATC's

Here is a set of ATC's which were made for a swap. I've used various stamps so I'll not name them all here. If you'd like to know just leave a message and I'll get back to you.

Facelift and Listen to the Birds

Okay the blog has had a face lift and it's time to post again. My mojo has been missing in action, just hope it's back to stay now.

The stamp for this card is from Elusive Images. It's been stamped in black StazOn and coloured using Prisma Color pencils and blended with paper stumps and blending solution. I have added some detail using a white gel pen.

Spotlight Tree

Here's a spotlight card made using traditional Christmas colours. The poinsettia tree is a Magenta stamp. I stamped it in black Versafine ink and embossed it with clear detail embossing powder. I then added some colour using my Promarker pens. The greeting is from Elusive Images and was also stamped in black Versafine ink.
