Sunday afternoon

Now don't all fall down in shock but, I actually managed to get 3 cards made this Sunday afternoon. The first one is a birthday card for my neighbour. The image is a stamp from www.liliofthevalley.co.uk, coloured in with promarkers and some generic scrap booking papers I had.



This one was made for my FIL birthday. It was made using some Tim Holtz alcohol inks ( i love them so quick and easy to use) the rubber stamp image is one of his too and some basic grey paper, quick simple and effective.



This one is for a very lovely Lady. Sadly on Friday dear Netties husband passed away.
Sympathy cards are not something I usually make, but I wanted something plain, simple and straightforward, and this came together so easily.




Now to start making the cards for the million and one (well it feels like it) that I need for May. I think it was 18 at the last count !!

thanks for stopping by

Mothers Day cards


These are the cards I made for our mums this year, The first one is penny black stamp coloured in with pro markers and copics, I even used the little sewing machine I asked for for Christmas, on it.

This one was made using Tim Holtzs alcohol inks. I got some for Christmas and like the sewing machine haven't had chance to play, until lately, and they are so simple, addictive and easy to use, It is hard to see the full effect of them in a photo as there is also some gold in the mix, which make sit look like marble when it catches the light, and my photography isn't the best, David Bailey has no threat from me LOL. The stamps are some do craft sets I had and they were blinged up with some pearls and twinkles from the hobby house.
