Inky Tulips

Good morning friends

It's been very hot in 'sunny Southend' too hot for me and my pale skin! I was this last week going to pop to the sea front and get a famous Rossi ice-cream, but it was way too busy for me, so I may go next week when the children go back to school.

Anyway, I have a card to share that is out of my comfort zone, but it's good to try something different! I was pleased with how it turned out and a very easy card to make, I'll try it again and add more elements to it next time, so here it is...

I used the following to make this:

A DL card size.

Hunkydory Prism Watercolour pencils, blended with water on watercolour card.

Stamp and die are unknown from eBay.

Sequins.

Thank you for your kind comments on my wedding card, they are so much appreciated and a big thanks to Meg who comments on all my creations, it's so kind of you to take the time to do this.

Have a great weekend.

Tulip Card

Good evening.

So I have just got back from a short break away, firstly my partner and I stopped off in York for a couple of days. What a lovely city, we took in some of the sights. Then stopped off in Scunthorpe to visit friends and then Sunday we went to Newark to visit more friends and to remember the Battle of Britain at their memorial. The Battle of Britain was 80 years ago today (Tuesday 15th September). Here are a couple of photos (my partner is on the right of the first picture).

Anyway I do have a card I made just before I went away. I really enjoyed making this. The tulips have been coloured with Hunkydory Prisms. Hope you all like it!

To make this card I used an embossing folder from Docrafts, Marianne Designs Petra triangle and everything else is unbranded.

Have a great week, I'm having a crafting day tomorrow and will share what I make at a later date.

OMG We're in September!

 Hello
Well August went too fast! I've been away for a week house sitting so not much crafting done apart from some knitting. I'm making a basket weave blanket in multi colour yarn, I will share this with you once I have finished.
I have a card to share with you that I made using watercolour pencils, I must admit I like using them as I find them easier to use than my Promarkers!  I used a wooden Penny Black stamp that I've had for years. I'm going to enter this into some challenges, I've not done this for so long. Anyway here is my card...

To make this card I have used the following items:
Penny Black 'Jungle Tulip' wooden stamp, Cuttlebug Embossing folder, Unbranded cutting die, Sprinkles, Lili of the Valley sentiment stamps, ribbon from stash and Hunkydory Prism watercolour pencils.
Thank you for taking the time to visit and have a great week, see you soon. Please stay safe.

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.
