    The Flower Challenge – Patterned Paper

    June 4, 2019

    Hello This month at The Flower Challenge we challenge you to focus on background stamping. I created my own patterned paper by using a new to me stamp Anna’s Flora by Winnie and Walter and did easy copic colouring, leaving a white highlight for a more graphic style. The heat embossed sentiment is by Simon Says Stamp spiritual sentiments. There is a prize this month too so go check out the The Flower Challenge for more details.

    Dot Colouring practice | SSS May Card Kit

    May 17, 2019

    Hi friends Today I took some time to play with the Simon Says Stamp May card kit which I absolutely love. The beautiful pattern papers and the floral stamp set are truly a joy for me and make creating so easy. Over on Instagram one of the talented card makers that I follow is Alex Syberia and she has been challenging us to dot colouring with our alcohol markers. So today’s card is totally out of my comfort zone and using a technique that I obviously need a lot more practice with, but I am really excited to keep working with this technique as I absolutely love Alex’s cards. The…

    WCMD baby card with oxide ink blending

    October 8, 2018

    Hi friends It is currently at card making week at Winnie and Walter and there are lots and lots of fun challenges. First of all we were encouraged to take a craftie of us or our desk so here’s mine 🙂 Today’s card is for a couple of the challenges: Ink blending with Lea – I used distress oxide inks in tumbled glass and salty ocean Coordinating die Challenge with Kelly – I don’t have any dies for my stamps so I followed Carols example to use a word die as a mask and stamp round it, basically the challenge in reverse – I hope this still counts? So I die…

    August 15, 2018

    Hi friends It’s that point in the month, it’s reminder time! The theme this month for The Flower Challenge is One Layer Card Here’s how I made my card: 1) use a stamping tool if you have one to stamp Pinkfresh Studio Always Flowers in copic friendly black ink such as memento tuxedo black 2) stamp the four corners and then create a mask so that you can stamp the larger border stamp in the middle in the same black ink 3) stamp your sentiment in the centre, I used Pinkfresh Studio Walk by Faith 4)colour your flowers with alcohol markers. I used copics – g000, g02, y11, y15, r81,…

    You are Turtley Awesome

    June 6, 2018

    Hi friends, I just received this cute turtle stamp from heffy doodle and had to play with it straight away. Firstly I found this fab stamp by Mama Elephant called modern borders, it may be retired now, and thought the scallop would make a great looking sea. I used my tim holtz stamping platform to help stamp my ‘sea’ with Altenew inks in shades of blue. Next I stamped my turtle with memento tuxedo black ink which is Copic friendly, fussy cut it and did some quick and easy colouring. Then I trimmed down my scallop panel and used my tim holtz knife to create little flaps around the waves…
