one direction

Just been uploading some pics to put on here and found this - it was a quick order for a neighbour 

So I thought I would share an extra blog post 

I used my Serif programme and some images from the internet .

Simples and quick - but the twelve year old it was intended for loved it 

Ruby Wedding

This is a commission for a friend for her husband.

Terry really likes watches and she didn't want a "mushy" card so this is what I cam up with the little hearts are mdf and I got them from a cog or two ages ago when I went to a steam punk market.  I picked up the charms somewhere or other - they were in my stash.  The fob-watches are Clarity and the writing is done on the computer.

Christmas again

I could use a rhyme here about a chap that works with dead pheasants and his daughter -but I wont lol x

My new tree stencil came out again for this one and then I stamped the original stamp on top.

I started by stamping the pheasant and masking him off then I inked through the stencil with a brush.  I used black archival for the treescape stamp and then coloured in my pheasant.  Bit hard to see but I also used a glue pen and added some glitter to the trees

Jigsaw homework 2

This is the second of my Clarity jigsaw homework samples - this was a right pain to do I did LOADS before I got the jigsaw stamped to my satisfaction - its quite a big stamp and these are always harder to stamp to get the middle to print then a few times I masked off the line while I inked it then can you believe I actually tried to stamp it without moving the mask - oh well I got there eventually.  I just did a simple little scene and used glossy accents for the water under the bridge x

Jigsaw homework

Morning all thought I would get around to blogging some of the cards I have made over the last few days - so I will schedule a few to come up

If you are a Clarity fan hasn't that been a truly great weekend with three days of Clarity shows on the telly and some of the samples that the DT had done were great and what about young Massimo's jigsaw homework and he is only 5 amazing. If you didn't watch or you are not a fan sorry for rabbing on lol.


So here is one of the cards  I sent in to C & C as homework from the last class with Barbara  It uses the treescape stencil - a purchase from Harrogate, the maple leaf set and the spare piece from the jigsaw set.  Lots of masking going on .

five gold rings

Good Morning All - today I am off to the Great Northern Papercrafts Extravaganza in Harrogate - up way to early though so just thought I would post this card before I go to pick up my crafty friends ready for the road trip - YAY.

Not one of my better pics - seems to be a bit pale at the bottom but hey ho David Bailey I am not lol 

I originally did this for a blog but then changed my mind so it has gone in my Christmas stash ready.  

12 days of Christmas ? what to do - here is the result lol I took the Noel Framer and embossed in gold to the left of the card I then repeated on 4 pieces of card and cut out the "rings" I brayered some sky and then made little scenes in each of the O's using the miniature Christmas kit, the little log cabin . 

Hope you like it

All the stamps are Clarity 

Snowmen

the last two for now but these will not be the last of that I am sure lol

I think I have had these two snowmen stamps since the first Christmas that I started making cards I think they were made by Habico.  just simply stamped in black archival and coloured with pencils .  I wanted just a touch of colour and I had stamped with archival then I thought oh now I can't use promarkers now but I think the pencils have given a lovely soft touch
