Back with Day 9 and I’m trying Jennifer’s technique Multi-Inking and Gilding: Floral Builder Stamps. I used some fine glitter to create my stripes and ‘gilded’ leaves instead of embossing them as I was hoping the glitter would shimmer just that little bit more…. probably didn’t expect it to glitter up this much though, is there anything as too much glitter?
Thanks for popping in again.

Hi there, I’m back today with another set of cards that I was lucky enough to have published with the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine. As soon as I saw this pretty little set of flowers from AnnaBelles I knew that it had to be in the blues and greens and this paper pad from Teresa Collins worked perfectly.
Phew!
That was certainly a lot of photos, glad to see you made it through. I’ll be back again real soon.

This week at AnnaBelle Stamps we are featuring Sentimental Bluebells… my card does not have any bluebells at all, but I have embossed and die cut this fabulous label from the set. Actually this card looks absolutely nothing like what I set out to make, go figure.
And because it’s our Friday Feature stamp set it’s been reduced by 20% for the next week, yay!
You still have time to join us with our current challenge, you can find the deets HERE! Also don’t forget to check out the rest of the team members creations you can find their links in my sidebar.
I would like to share this card at Simon Says Stamp where the challenge this week is to use a clear or a rubber stamp… easy peasy. Hope you have a great weekend.

I needed a quick ‘Get Well’ card for a great friend who just had some surgery and I found inspiration at Jay Gee’s Nook current challenge (as always). I thought it would also be a great opportunity to join my great cyber friend Annette who is having a Link Up at her blog, she is an awesome paper crafter and always an inspiration.
I am so enjoying my new Backgrounds By Design set from AnnaBelle Stamps… who would have thought this little stamp set could create this amazing pattern!
Other Supplies: Grey Satin Ribbon.
It’s been so long since I’ve had a chance to play along at the Play Date Cafe and today I needed a quick card for my niece who is having surgery next week, so I knew exactly where to go for inspiration. Of course it’s yet another gorgeous combination of colours, and what better time to play with my (nearly new) TAWS stamps – Gotta Bug?
BUT first of all I had to find the ‘flock’, I wanted to create one of those ‘fluffy’ hot water bottles (you know, like the one my grandmother had)…… I knew it had to be somewhere….. oh, and then I had to google how to use it.. yes, it’s really been that long! Thanks for stopping by!
Other Supplies: Copics – R81, G40, C0. Flocking Fibre – Rose Pink (The Stencil Specialists)
