In the pink!


It's time for our May challenge over at
TAG-ALONG (and ATC's)
where I have chosen the theme of PINK.
You can add a little or a lot, up to you,
OR you can go with the anything goes option.

For my tag I made the background on my gelli plate
using a mix of acrylic paints in pink and white.
I laid a piece of lace over the paint
to get the nice soft texture.
Next I stamped some text along one side using
Gorgeously Made stamps (SU)
and stencilled some dots with 
TH embossing paste on the other side.
I stamped some flowers in pink from
Painted Seasons (SU) and arranged them
at the bottom of my tag.
I punched some butterflies out of the
waste paper from the gelli plate and
positioned them around the sentiment
from Framed Florets stamps (SU).
I finished by added some pearlised enamel
dots in red and added some lace
tied with ribbon to the top.

I would like to enter this into


****************************************


For my ATC I used the gelli plate again
with a piece of old lace material and
pink and white acrylic paint.

I added more petals to the flowers using
the pink paint and a brush
and then embellished with some colour
using acrylic markers.
I finished with some faux stitching,
pearlised enamel dots and a
sentiment.

I would like to enter this into

I hope you get time to play along with us.
Remember you can follow the theme or
anything goes and you can make a tag,
ATC or Bookmark!

We do, as always have a fantastic prize
and a chosen top 3!!

Shutter card


My Mother-in-law's 86th birthday is coming up this month
and I always like to make her a funfold card.
I used a Tattered Lace die for this shutter card.
The papers are from a Basic Grey set called Sultry.
Stamp sets used
Happy Birthday to You, Alphabest, Approaching Perfection
and Painted Seasons, all SU.
I added ribbons, brads, pearls and a leaf punch.
The flowers have been double stamped and cut and layered.


This is a side view.
It does close flat and fits into a larger envelope.

Stamping Sensations November Challenge



Our challenge over at
STAMPING SENSATIONS
is all about Traditional Christmas using the colours
red, green and gold - any or all!

I pulled out some old (painted seasons) and some new stamp sets to create this card.
It has bits of gold embossing. Each bauble was gold embossed then coloured and I also gold embossed the
edges of the sentiment.




Those little green thread bows where tricky to make but I like the effect.
I just wanted something subtle.
I had intended to stamp some little yellow stars/spots between the branches
but totally forgot. I will add at some stage before it gets posted out.

We are sponsored this month by

Chocolate Baroque

so be sure and get your stamped entries in for a chance to win.

Grace and wisdom!


I had another 80th birthday card request and
again I went with the painted seasons stamp set.
I hope you were lucky enough to pick this up during Sale-a-bration!
I used the painted seasons dsp along with the stamp set.
The flowers where stamped and cut out along with the leaves to add dimension.
The inner flowers were stamped and masked to add some leaves.
I really enjoy this type of stamping and find it very therapeutic! 
I personalied it using the Make a difference stamp set and the sentiment
is from Strong & Beautiful stamp set.
with lemon lime twist and balmy blue ink pads.
The ribbons I used are lemon lime twist and grapefruit grove.

Have a great weekend! I'll be back on Sunday
with my Stamping Sensations DT card.
