Another New Little Claire Stamp

This is another one of the new designs from Little Claire stamps - coloured with Promarkers as before. The dotted circle is stamped - a Visible Image design and then I punched a circle of card and added a greeting.

A Little Bit of Christmas .....

These are three ATCs that I made for a "Christmas in July" swap - all three are Elzybells images. I didn't think they needed much adding so have just put them on some card and added a greeting to the smaller image.

Variation on a Theme

This is a coloured version of the black and white card I posted a couple of weeks back - it's coloured with Promarkers and then mounted onto some Anna Griffin paper with a little paper flower in the corner.

Pretty in Pink

These are two images from a new set of Personal Impressions stamps that I bought recently coloured with Promarkers and then made into ATCs.

Minizine

This is a minizine that I've made this past weekend for a swap - the little book is hand made and I've decorated it with papers, vintage images and some word tickets.

Black and White Card

This is a swap card made for a black and white swap - the image is a stamped one and then it's layered on different backgrounds. The little flower is just two large black punched flowers with a smaller white flower overlayed.

ATC Swap

These are three ATCs that I've made for a monthly swap. The bottom two are made with Elzybells images - very cute stamps!

New Little Claire Stamp

This is a card made with a new stamp from Little Claires - the stamp is called "Victoria". It's layered onto Bazzill card and coloured with Copic markers.

The Stamp Man Workshop

I've been to a workshop today given by Jill Tuck from The Stamp Man and made this gorgeous chipboard and acetate book. The book is a Woodware kit and we used images from one of Kay Carley's sheets of UMs. The backgrounds were sprayed and then the same inks used to colour in the flower images.

Black and White Decoupage

These are two of the cards made from a sheet of black and white decoupage designs that I bought recently. There are silver outlines on the flowers so I've used some silver mirri-card as one of my mats - they don't show up too well in the photos.

Matchbox Swap

This is matchbox and some small ATCs to go inside that I've made this weekend for a swap. I've done a vintage theme and managed to use up lots of little scraps of paper and tiny images.

Dream Box

This is a box that I made recently for a swap - we were given the metal book plate holder and could choose what we used it to make. I painted the box and then used Brilliance Ink on the top. It is stamped with a Paper Artsy Mini and the book plate holder was coloured using alcohol inks.

Spring Mini Book

These are some of the pages from a Spring mini book that I made for a recent swap. It's not something that I'd tried before but I really enjoyed it and was pleased with the results.

Decoupage Birthday Card

I couldn't resist these new decoupage designs in the Dandylion and Daisy series - the come with the backing paper which is a perfect match and the Best Wishes stip along the bottom of the card.

Flower Pot Card

This is a card made for a recent swap using a flower pot stamp from Visible Image. The background is done with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and then I used a strip of green card with some border peel offs on it.

Oriental ATCs

These are 3 Oriental ATCs that I've made this weekend for a swap. The images are some of my favourite Oriental stamps and the gold and black background is a beautiful Washi paper that I've had for years and only use in small quantities!

Footballing Hedgehogs

And this is the card I made for my Dad's birthday - the image is from Little Claire and I decided to try a different shaped card for a change.

Stitched Mother's Day Card

This is a stitched card that I made for Mother's Day earlier this month.

Black, Red and Gold ATC Swap

These are two ATCs that I have just made for a black, red and gold swap. The obvious choice was Oriental so I decided to go for that and another design as well.

Black Magic Card

This is an ATC that I made yesterday using Black Magic cardstock and one of the Cuttlebug embossing folders. I sanded it afterwards and it's really easier to sand - the colours pop through very quickly.

I really like the colours - the black is a good contrast to the pastel colours.

The flower is cut using a Sizzlit die and I added a piece of sheer ribbon to the background.
