Just a quickie !!!!

Hi Guys and girls,
Well last week I managed to make another card and the only night I had time to get on and blog to my horror Blogger was closed for maintenance you could hear my nooooooooooooo across all of Peterborough.
I fell in love with this stamp as soon as I saw it on the Sirstampalot blog, so you know how it goes I just had to have it ;)

Josephine cuddling her pet cat Kiki
The papers are from my stash one is basic grey and the other is a Ladybug paper, but I am not sure of the names.
I am rubbish today because I cant remember the exact name of the Martha stewart punch I used either, I think it is a Lace heart.
The copics used are:
Greens: YG17, YG13, YG11
Browns: E44, E43, E42, E41, E40
Skin: E02, E00, E000, E0000 and for the blush R20
I will try my best to get round and comment tomorrow.
Ciao for now
Hugs

Something Simple

Hello fellow groovers,
I think I have my mojo back, well a little !!!!
I just love the new Kaiser craft wooden flourishes, they fell into my basket when I saw them at Sirstampalot.
My favourite has to be the Dress Form, so I thought it would make a great feature on a friends birthday card.

The paper is from my stash its Bobunny but I am not sure what it is.
The text stamp is from my collection I took out of the packet so I dont know what it is I am sorry :(

Sorry I missed most of you on saturday my friends turned up earlier than we had arranged and no matter how hard I tried the night before to get them to come along I don't know why but non crafters have a really strange idea of what a demo day will be, they seem to think it will be boring but with Chris heading the demo they couldnt be more wrong. So I only managed to grab  about 30 mins watching Chris, who as always was fantastic, gutted I didnt get to see more.

So hope to catch up with you all soon :)

Sneaky Peak

Hello Fellow groovers,
Well I have to say I am one of a lucky few who have managed to get their hands on a couple of the new release Molly Blooms, and they are fabulous, they should be up on sirstampalots website soon. I know some of the other design team also got a few samples so check out the gallery to see some of the other new releases on their way :)

The stamps I used are Molly with brolley, Duck in puddle, and the April showers text.
I distressed the edges with Broken China distress ink, and used a martha stewart botonical border punch.
The copis I used are: Blues B02, B01, B000, B0000
Browns: E44, E43, E42, E41, E40
Skin:E02, E00, E000, E0000, R20
and YR02, YR00 for the duck beak and legs and finally a bit of C1 for shading.
I had to use glossy accents on the wellies, brolley and rain drops.
I just love the new range of stamps, I cant wait for the new launch.
Hugs

Spread the love

Hi fellow bloggers,
I finally managed to uninstall the software that made my computer go at a snails pace, so I can blog again.
Seriously I would turn the computer on, have a bath, make my dinner, do my ironing and the computer still would be trying to load up my internet connection !!!!
So here is my latest creation, I was aiming for an old fashioned sepia photo look that had a hint of skin colour, just to explain why its so monotone in colour,  I hope you like it :)
