Caught a Bug (video)?

I saw the current funtabulous challenge over at The Alley Way Stamps and just had to join in.  I was inspired by the colours and of course the polka dots (who isn’t…)  I thought I would film as I went…

Lucky Stars

I have a quick share today, I combined a few fun challenges to create this card and it looks absolutely nothing like the original plan….  it started out as a birthday cake but that’s a long story so I won’t…

A Friend for Life!

Another Texture Effect today and it’s embossing with glitter, such a fun technique and a great way to enjoy a glittery day, because if you are anything like me then there will be glitter glitter everywhere! Sorry about the less…

Shine Bright!

Back with some more Textural Effects and this time it ‘s embossing paste.  I do love the look of the Inka Gold used as an embossing paste although I found that I had to add a little water as it was…

Big Birthday Wishes!

Today I started working on Textural Effects and thought I would try out Dry Embossing first, what a great one layer twist on this technique and even better I get to use some of those embossing folders that have been…

A Star is Born!

I can always use some baby cards in my stash, I hardly ever make them….  or wedding cards, sympathy….  well I’m sure you get what I mean lol.  Anyhoo, more online class Creative Colouring and this time it’s Simple Copic…

Remember Creative Colouring!

Back with another fun technique  Watercolouring Made Easy for  Day 7  Creative Colouring.  Now would you believe that I don’t own any watercolour paints at all so I compromised and used Distress Inks on my craft sheet, so it’s the…

Having some Graffiti fun!

Back in class again and now I have a Graffiti card for Backgrounds into the Foreground, I just love this technique and think it’s particularly good for those wonderfully challenging masculine designs. Not my best card but this class is…

Smiling!

Today I’m focusing on Creative Coloring and using Tasnim’s fab technique of tracing images.  So out came my Hero Arts background stamp and I dug around and eventually found a gold gel pen, what fun! I’d like to share this…

Still on the Illusion….

I’m kinda stuck on Day 3 here, but loving it.  My visitors have deserted me and now instead of cleaning the house after camping, working etc I am having some fun in my crafty space (wink).  So today it’s another…

Masked Backgrounds

Back with some more homework for the Online Card Class and today it’s Masked backgrounds, and I wanted mine bright and cheery…   so it is. Gotta head off to work now and my brother arrives today, yipppeee! Other Supplies:…

Optical Illusion – Stamp Layering

Back with a quick card that I made using the Stamp Layering technique.  How cool is this class, I can’t wait to see what everyone else it up to!  I’d better get back to camping……  lol. Thanks for popping by,…

It’s an Optical Illusion!

Well class is still on and now it’s Optical Illusions and today I thought I would start with Scenic Stamping.  I promise I really did try and make it ‘more water coloury’ but it just wasn’t going to happen, I…

Faux metal With Love!

Back again with another faux technique and this is one of my faves…   faux metal.  I kept it simple, it’s a Clean & Simple class right, so what else would I do.  I kinda thought this would make a…

Masculine runway…..

This gorgeous challenge at Runway screamed elegance to me, so go figure why I decided to make a masculine birthday design, might have something to do with the fact that it’s my hubby’s birthday today and also that I came…

Have a Great Day at Muse!

Who would’ve thought wood could be so much fun, today I decided that maybe I could colour with my Copics onto sticky barc and it worked a treat! Here is my card for this weeks Muse I can’t wait to see how…

Inspired by Harper

It’s hard not to be inspired by someone as amazing as Charley Harper, his style and colour combinations are incredible and I just had to make my very own ‘Harper’ esque bird.  My card had to be CAS as I…
