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.

Bethlehem


I just couldn't resist this stamp from Elzybells, I bought it at the Port Sunlight Show in October.
It's stamped in black staz-on and coloured with prismacolor pencils and blending fluid. The background paper is from one of the books that Crafty Individuals make. To add a little decoration I used nailheads in each corner.
I just love the colours and how it turned out.

Christmas -Non Christmas Stamp


We have a challenge for November on Katyscorner Group. Make a blue and white card using a non Christmas stamp. So here's mine.
I used a Tim Holtz mask on a panel of white card and used distress ink to add colour. I stamped the bird from an Inkadinkado set over the panel using a darker ink. The white base card is stamped with a crackle stamp to add a little colour. Next a little bit of layering and it's complete.

Old Grist Mill


The stamp I've used is from The Old Grist Mill plate made by Artistic Outpost. It's stamped in black Memento ink onto background paper. I added some colour with Promarkers and some sparkle to the water with Rock Candy Distress Stickles, it doesn't show up very well in the photo though. The saying is from an old PSX set, flowers added as a finishing touch.
