More balloons!

My penultimate catch-up post! Finally nearing the end of the outstanding posts list! I seem to have been at it for ages, lol! This card was a lot of work, though I really wanted to have a go at a “Shadow Box” style card regardless of how hard it might be. This was a commissionContinue reading “More balloons!”

Koi

This was a themed birthday card using a traditional koi tattoo image. I used zig markers and water to colour it, and then made it into a simple easel card. I added stickles glitter glue, flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and Bling from Shimelle. I tried a few versions of it, I also like thisContinue reading “Koi”

Feline Spooky?

I think Feline Spooky Annie from Stamp Anniething may be feline herself for this stamp! She seems to have some added sexy sass going on, and I am very ok with that 😀 Really enjoyed colouring her up, also spent far too long on the pumpkin! 😀 This is another stencil-pencil card, but before IContinue reading “Feline Spooky?”

Oh Deer.

So this was a commissioned card for one of my besties. Her partner wanted something special for her 50th! We had been talking about stag tattoo designs for yonks so this is why it has a bit of a tattoo-ish feel about it. She does now have a stag tattoo, but not this design. ThisContinue reading “Oh Deer.”

Pub Quiz

This is a 21st birthday card commission, for a great crafty friend who wanted something pub themed for her son who has landed a great job with one of the pub chains. It was pretty hard to take a picture of, it’s both very large and a Z -fold. But if you layout in thisContinue reading “Pub Quiz”

Magnolia

I made a couple of cards using a white heat-embossed Magnolia Stamp and Gansai Tambi Watercolours. I then printed greetings onto vellum to pop a sentiment between the flowers. I also added some sequins from the stash. Magnolia Stamp is from Sheena Douglass, A little bit floral. I am not keen on using her stampsContinue reading “Magnolia”

Mr Slater’s Parrot

Good Dr.Digi Friyay to you! I am feeling pretty up-to-date right now, this is actually a new release! This is Mr. Slater’s Parrot (digistamp) from Dr.Digi’s House of Stamps! Why is it called that? Cos Dr.Digi loves an obscure music reference! lol. Don’t tell him I said that 😉 I had fun with this image,Continue reading “Mr Slater’s Parrot”

E.E. Smith

A very specific card, as requested by my friend, for her to give to her Dad. He is a big fan of science fiction novels and an author himself. His favourite author is E.E. Smith so I made a background by compiling the images from covers and then printed a small passage from one ofContinue reading “E.E. Smith”

Greetings Earthling!

Teaser for the super new September release from Stamp Anniething today! I love this Greetings Earthling image! I coloured her up and decided I’d like to keep her, so added her to a little notebook I am going to start to keep track of my pencil combo’s in! Here is what the stamp set looksContinue reading “Greetings Earthling!”

Football

I think if you make cards for other people it is inevitable you will have to make the odd football themed card. I am not keen. I usually find a football layout that isn’t too hard to make and then convert that to the relevant team. So this is my current football model that IContinue reading “Football”
