Time Does Fly

It's been a while since I posted, time just goes by so quickly.
All the stamps on this card are from Stamp Camp. I stamped the dragonfly panel with Encore Sweet Dreams rainbow ink, then embossed with stardust embossing powder to add a little twinkle. The main image was stamped using StazOn black ink and water coloured. The wording was stamped and embossed using the same materials as the panel.I used my nestabilities for the main panel and wording, then layered on a white card. Just as a finishing touch I added some punched dragonflies to the panel.

Dotty Blooms

A really easy card to make but effective. The stamp is from The Stampman and was embossed in white powder and then cut out with a nestie. I left the cutting die in place while I coloured the circle using Distress Inks and my handmade colouring tool. Which is a square of wood with some protective furniture felt attached, a cheaper version than the Tim Holtz tool. I then removed the die and used the Distress inks to paint more colour onto the three flowers. The background layer is done in the same way using one of the single stamps on the stamp sheet. When I'd finished colouring I buffed up the embossing, this takes away any ink that might have been left on top of the embossing. The saying is from Elzybells and cut out using the nesties. All the layers were attached together and mounted onto a white card.

Forever Friends

This is a Forever Friends stamp bought for me by a friend and it's the only one of this range that I have. I stamped it using a Versafine Onyx Black Inkpad. I then embossed it using clear detail embossing powder, it was coloured in using Distress Inkpads.
I layered the bear and the saying (not sure who's stamp this is) using nesties. I used a piece of designer paper and a piece of cuttlebugged card as a background. Then punched out some flowers for decoration.

Ballerina Bear

Last one for today is a cutie. Ballerina Bear is from Elzybells Stamps and is one of a range of cute bears doing all sorts of things. The Happy Birthday stamp is an old one from a PSX set. She was stamped in Vintage Sepia Versafine ink and coloured using Prismacolor pencils and blending fluid. Her dress has beads at the waist and a little touch of glitter on the tutu frill. Cut out with a label nestie and layered on a cuttlebugged background. I also added a paper ribbon border down the left edge of the card.

Scaredy Cat

Enough birds for today, heres a cat that is scared of mice! The stamp is a Sugar Nellie design, the words are from a Woodware clear set. He was stamped in black StazOn and coloured using Distress Inks. Layered again using nestabilities and a cuttlebugged background.

Sing Your Song

Here's another bird card, both the bird and word stamp are from Elusive Images. I stamped it in black StazOn and coloured with Prismacolor pencils and blending fluid. I then used the Inksentials white pen to add dots wherever I felt like it.I used the nestabilities for the layers on the bird, the blue layer behind it was cuttlebugged using an embossing folder.

So Tweet

I love this bird from Personel Impressions. I stamped it in Vintage Sepia Versafine on ivory card. I stamped it again on background paper and paper pieced the body. I used nestabilities for the layers, the so tweet wording is one of those cheap Imaginince stamps.
