Group of trees

I cannot take credit for the idea for this card as I saw it on another blog (sorry cannot remember who). Here is my version, hope you like it. The card is a white 5x5 inch card but for some reason it has come out blue in the photo.

The recipe for the card is:

• Group of trees stamp from Xelacrafts ebay shop
• The shimmer for the snow is my own, which is Acrylic shimmer paint mixed with rubbing alcohol and lightly sprayed.
• Whispers archival ink - colour whisper lilac

Out there, Little soldier

As you know from a previous post Jaks sadly lost her 19mth old great nephew to meningitis and has been raising money for the Meningitis search 4 a Vaccine Campaign by selling 2 specially designed digi stamps. Here are the cards I've made from the stamps the 1st is called Out there by Mo Manning.

and the second is the Little Soldier which was designed by Jim Harker.

To make the cards I used: Whispers stroke brush markers to colour both images.

3D My Way by Jeje with matching peeloffs for the 1st card

Backing paper by Docrafts for the snowman (little soldier)

Loads of

Yet again it's a busy time for family birthdays, which include several men, so I decided some stamping was called for. For the 1st card I embossed the SU loads of love lorry (love that set!) and used black embossing powder then used brushstrokes pens to watercolour in the images. The backing paper is old TLC card stock. The edge of the tag has been sponged with SU barely blue (I think that's its name lol) The sentiment is also from the loads of love stamp set.



For the second card I used a topper that I had and instead of cutting it out I tore it and sponged SU chocolate chip ink around the tears and also around the backing sheet and banner. The twine is dark brown and waxed.

Where has this month gone?!!

Time flies when you're having fun! I've been busy making cards for family our godson got marrien last weekend and a friends father has been poorly so I made these cards for them.

I have also been busy with my stampin up goodies that I ordered at the party, Here is the 1st card I've managed to finish and send after using my new stamps.
