Fairy

Card is 7 x 7 inches
I've used Distress Inks to make the background. Stamps are a mix of Lavinia and Card-io

Good Luck

A 'happy accident' card.

I used distress inks for the yellow background, it was originally for something else but I made a mistake on it. Then I stamped the black frame (Phill Martin stamp) and made another mistake - there was a big black ink smudge in the middle...used a square die to cut that out...then tore the frame...so used a butterfly die-cut to cover the tear! I mounted the yellow frame on foam pads.

I wasn't sure what to use on the inside of the frame but could see a small pot of bronze gilding flakes on my desk, I decided to stamp a Lili of the Valley greeting with tacky glue and added the gilding flakes.
To say it was all a "make it up as I go along" card I am pleased with how it turned out :)

Christmas

I've been ill for the best part of a fortnight so had to finish off my cards for posting in a mad rush.

This is a flat card, I try to do these at this time of year as we have relatives who are scattered about the country and the postage soon mounts up.


The main stamp is by Crafty Individuals, I've used distress inks to make the backgrounds. The snowflake stamp is by Chloe, I've roughly embossed it and added Glamour Dust in places.

Thinking of You

I masked off a strip on some white card and smudged on a couple of distress inks, then stamped with Card-io stamps in black.
The sentiment is Jane's Script by Woodware.

Courage

Background made with distress inks, all stamps are by Waltzingmouse.
(love that sentiment!)

Friends

Blue background card is Tim Holtz kraft and I've lightly sanded it.
Sentiment stamp is Hero Arts, I masked it off to use part with black ink and part with Versamark and embossing powder.

Watercolour background is distress inks patted on to an acrylic block and then applied with a water-brush. The white patches were made by small pieces of sellotape dabbed on and removed, it takes away the top layer of colour.

Fairy Dreams

Background coloured with distress inks
Fairy text stamp is very old PSX (these used to go for silly money on ebay, £30+)
Sentiment stamp is Clearly Besotted
I've entered this in the Silhouette challenge on CM&P.

Bon Voyage

This is for a challenge on Cardmaking & Papercraft, the theme is silhouettes.
I've used distress inks for the background, Memory Box dies, and the sentiment is by Clearly Besotted stamps.

Courage

Stamps and inks are Tim Holtz, except for the splatter stamp which is SU.
The smaller panel is on 3-d foam for a bit of depth.

Balloon

This is a very old rubber stamp, I'm not sure who it is made by (I think Creative Stamping?).
I coloured it with Copics and some distress ink around the edges.
The patterned paper is by Magnolia and I roughed the edges a bit with some scissors.
The self-adhesive gems are from Ebay and the sentiment is an old one from my stash.
