I started crafting with cards in 2006 and now I am hooked,I love any kind of stamping and have been very lucky to get published in Paper craft essentials, making cards, Simply cards & papercraft, Digital crafting essentials and Crafters Companion Inspiration magazines. I have made some very talented friends through this blog, I love my crafting buddies. Any questions feel free to email me at greavsie1967@hotmail.com
I just love these WRS stamps, this one is called Grandad relaxing, I have coloured in with my prisma pencils blended with sansodor, I used a x-cut die to matt and layer him. The DP is from forever friends. I used a spot embossing folder and finished off with some buttons, twine and the sentiments.
I am loving these new Digi's from Ladybugcraftsink, they are so versatile and great for Mother's Day, retirements and Birthdays. This image is called Garden Bench Delight I have coloured with a mixture of Promarkers and prisma pencils and some Tim Holtz ink for the sky, I then matted to some pink gingham CS and hand sewed around the edge, I used a craft concepts embossing folder called Budding vine. The DP is from Forever friends, I have used a sentiment strip from Pink Petticoat and curved it across the card. I finished off with some gems for the centre of the flowers, some punched out butterflies, pearls and some flowers from Do crafts. The other sentiment is computer generated.
The challenge this fortnight at CYDA is Button or Bow, we are sponsored by Crafty Emma
I have chosen Button. The stamp I have used is from Ladybugcraftsink called I'm not asleep wrinkley, as soon as I saw this stamp I had to buy it, it is so my dad. I have coloured him with promarkers and sakura glaze pens, then cut out with a sizzix arch die and matted to some papermania DP also cut with the larger arch die. The DP I made myself, I have added a double scallop border, some twine and a basic grey button, some photo corners were also added, and a brown border at the bottom with 2 metal button tied with twine and the words DAD, the sentiments around the imeage come with the stamp so amazing value.
This is nurse Margaret from Bugaboo, she looks a bit scary lol.
My friend Patricia requested her.
She is coloured with promarkers and then mounted onto navy, then cream card., I have used a flower embossing folder, coloured some of the flowers blue and added some pearls to the centres, then mounted onto cream card. The DP is from my stash. I made the border at the bottom using my MS doily flower punch and added the sentiment strip which is from pink petticoat. I cut the flower using a Sissix die and added a chipboard button and card candi to the centre. The ribbon to the side is blue grossgrain and i made a double loop bow and added card candi to the centre. The other sentiment is computer generated.
This had to be a quick card as my friend Sara wanted it quickly, so I used my Forever Friends cd rom, I added some sentiments to each picture and then printed them out onto some linen card, then mounted them onto some pearlised purple card. The lilac spot DP is from the cd rom aswell. I have added a lilac organza ribbon and bow to the left. The sentiment ribbon is from pink petticoat and the other sentiments are computer generated.
