Happy Saturday

Good Morning

Hi all, I hope you've had a good week and got some crafting done in this extremely hot weather we are having in the UK. It's been too hot for me and to be honest I haven't done much. As a diabetic I have noticed that my sugar levels have been a touch higher than normal and this makes me tired! Anyway,  I have loads of bits to do, so this weekend I will be crafting.

So I am showing a quick card I made for a birthday, I have loads coming up.

I love this stamp from Lili of the Valley you can find the digi image here, it's so sweet. I have coloured it with Hunkydory Prisms, the papers I've have had for ages and I don't know where they came from... sorry. The stitched square die is unbranded, flowers and ribbon from stash.

I'm having a crafty de-stash you can find the bits for sale here.

Thanks for passing by and stay safe.

Bildmalarna - Who Remember's these Stamps?

Hello Again

So, where has the week gone let alone the weekend. It's been lovely here in Southend and I do wish I had a garden to sit in. So I have been following the free classes on Kit and Clowder and more practice is still needed. It's where to put the shading that puzzles me. I know I will get there in the end!!

Anyway, I have a couple of cards to share with you today. They are cards using mini Bildmalarna stamps. Sadly Bildmalarna closed down, I loved their stamps. I've coloured them both using watercolour pencils from Hunkydory (Prisms). I found them easy to use considering I am a novice at colouring with this medium. 

How cute are they?

Have a good week, if you're passing by my blog, please say hello, it's not compulsory. 

Take care and stay safe.

A Wedding No More!

Hello Friends

Well who would have thought that the amount of rain that fell overnight here in Southend. I know a lot of gardens needed the downfall! Glad it's a bit brighter now, I can get on with some colouring. I'm following the free tutorial from Kit and Clowder. I've learnt about shading and it's a mind field!

Anyway on to my creation. I made this for a wedding for friends who unfortunately, due to lockdown and Covid 19 had their wedding cancelled. All those preparations. They're now getting married in 2021. So here is what I made them....

I made this using a frame I bought from Poundland, it had a black butterfly on it and I managed to take it off. I created the design in Cricut Design Space and cut the vinyl with my Cricut using a holographic vinyl, I changed the ribbon to a bright gold and added the bow. I've put a piece of white card at the back to take the photo so you can see the image better. Luckily I can take off the date and change it for the new one.

Anyway, thank you for looking and stopping by and enjoy the rest of your week.

Stay safe.

My Fav - Daisy

Good Afternoon

So what a beautiful day we have here in Southend, after getting soaked yesterday queuing for my shopping!

Anyway on to my card, it's one of my favourite stamps from Elisabeth Bell - Daisy, I think she is so sweet. My colouring is still pants, so I have decided to sign up for some colouring classes with Kit and Clowder so I can improve! So for the time being I wont be entering into any challenges. I will still update my blog as it is good therapy for me. So here is my card...

I've coloured her with Promarkers, the sentiment is Lili of the Valley all other items are from my stash drawer.

Have a good week and thanks for passing by. Stay safe.

A Clock I Made!

Good Morning Friends

I hope you've all had a good weekend. I've spent mine crafting and practising new techniques, which I will share at another time. 

Anyway, I needed a new clock for my kitchen and I decided to make one as I had some clock hands in a drawer which I had for ages. So here it is...

I created this using my Cricut Maker and I purchased the design from here. It would seem layered mandalas are all the rage at the moment especially on the Facebook pages for Cricut. The clock hands had a red second hand and I really didn't like the colour and thought how can I change this, so I used silver embossing powder and heated it and used loads of layers to build the colour up until I was happy and it worked really well.

I hope you all have a good week and hope the weather improves too!

Take and stay safe.

I used the following ingredients to make this.

Cricut Maker from Hochanda

Clock hands from The Works

Paper is from Hobbycraft

The frame is from B&M's

Mandala from Etsy

Hi Again

Hello

Good evening friends, I hope you are all well. So what's happened with the weather? Oh my it's really cold this evening, great excuse to craft!

Anyway on to my card. This is something out of my comfort zone... While I've been isolating I have been trying different techniques. I bought some watercolour pencils and thought I would give it a try colouring with them, I must admit I really enjoyed it. So here it is...

I have used a stamp from Lili of the Valley, Kraft card and card blank, watercolour pencils and Tim Holtz ink pads. ribbon and gems from stash.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and stay safe.
