Stampendous 'Snow Bird'

Good afternoon everyone

I hope everyone had a good weekend? I spent the weekend crafting which was rather relaxing, I'm trying new techniques using watercolour pens and ink, I'm not sharing them today, but will in the future. The weather is improving here in 'sunny Southend' it's rather warm but no sun! Today I am sharing a card using a stamp I've had for years and never inked up and here it is...

Ingredients Used are:

6x6 card base

Stampendous Cling Stamp 'Snow Bird'

coloured with Promarker's on to Neenah Classic card

Inkylicious Bauble stencil, as you can see I cut round the stencil and this was a bit of a pain!

Lili of the Valley Christmas Tags stamps, you can find the Digi images HERE

I'm not sure where the Embossing folder came from as I store mine out their packages, sorry

Decor Glamour Dust for the snow look

Ribbon and bling from my stash.

Have a great week and I'll see you all soon.

LOTV - Blossom

Hello Peeps,  I know it's been a while and I know I'm a useless blogger. I have lots of reasons for not posting, but it would take a lifetime to tell you and I think we would all rather make some cards.
Also I've heard a rumour that we are expecting some summer weather this weekend, what do you think, are those pigs flying yet?
Anyway now that my mojo is back I've managed to make some cards recently and I have one to show you today and here it is.

I so adore this image from Lili of the Valley and it's the first time I've inked her up. I treated myself to the Tim Holtz - on the edge doily die and I love it and think it works perfectly with this card.

Ingredients Used Are

 Lili of the Valley Image coloured

with Promarkers

Lucy Cromwell Papers from Papermania

Nesties and Memory Box Dies

Flowers and Ribbon Wild Orchid Crafts

Lili of the Valley Sentiment

Pearls and Cute button from stash

I hope you all like the card and I have a new motto 'I must do better with blogging and try and blog more often'. Have a great weekend friends and thank you for sticking with me.

Hugs Debbie x

My Favourite Stamp

Hello Friends, I hope you've all had a good weekend? It's been a bright but chilly day here in Southend. I had a request from the boyfriend to make a thank you card for his cousins daughter and the brief was 'pink and fairies'. So I dug out my favourite LOTV stamp which was one of the first I ever bought.

Dare to Dream

Hello, I would first like to say thank you for all the lovely comments on my last card, they were so much appreciated and lovely to read. I also had a lovely couple of days away and found a lovely craft village to visit - all I can say it was lucky I got paid while I was away!  Also I would like to apologise with lack of commenting, this is due to blogger issues - hopefully this will sort itself out soon.

Anyway I have a card to share with you today which I will be entering into some challenges that I have come across - see list below.  So here she is using another stamp from Lili of the Valley.
