Doxies Party

Here’s Doxies Party card made from the new stamp sets from Catherine Pooler Designs made for The Little Paper Tree Instahop.

Stamped in the new colours from CPD. The Happy Birthday To You is from the sentiment stamps Make A-Wish  stamp set and I’ve stamped it in the new colour Merlot.

These stamp pads are the juiciest I’ve used yet - they are the ones you’ve just got to try to be hooked on them and the colours in the range are gorgeous.

Make Today Amazing

Hello there,  hope you're having a lovely day.

Here's today's card, made using the Sunnie Stamp from Daisy B.  It's a lovely large stamp that is easy to colour.  

This time I used my Inktense I'm blocks to colour her, but could easily have used pencils or pens.

Stamped in Versafine Clare, the stamp is a lovely bold outline that could also be paper pieced.  How would you colour her in?

Jewelled Lashes

Here we have Jewelled Lashes which is a stamp by Daisy B Stamps.

The card is 8”x8” so you can see how big the stamp is.  

I stamped the main image in Grey Versafine and coloured using my Inktense blocks.  The sentiment is stamped in Versafine Clare.  I added jewels and decorated with Nuvo Drops and Glossy Accents.

Thanks for looking.

Chill with music

 Lockdown can be a really stressful time - I like to chill out in my craft room with my inks and paints - some like to listen to music - why not do both?

Here’s my Chill card made using one of Picket Fence Studios Beautiful Girls stamp and the Chill sentiment from Sunshine Bee Designs.

I stamped the girl on a small piece of card using black onyx Versafine and coloured in with watercolours. I then fussy cut it out.

Using Distress Oxides I made 2 backgrounds, one in hickory smoke, the other in the denim blue.   

To give the background depth, I second generation stamped an old music score stamp out of my stash randomly on the blue background using Smokey Grey Versafine, randomly.

I cut this layer to fit nicely inside the grey background and applied silver Gilding wax around the outside, then mounted onto a black layer.

Next glue the Beautiful Girl onto the bottom Left corner.

Stamp the Chill stamp using Black Versafine onto the blue background.

Attach all the layers together and add to an A5 card blank.

All done - hope you enjoy using these techniques.

Bye for now
