Many Hoppy Returns

A clean and simple card today. I love hares and couldn’t resist making another card featuring a gorgeous hare. Xx

Australian Day Card

I made this simple card today for Australia Day. It is heartbreaking to think of all the lives lost in the forest fires in Australia. xx

December Daily, Book Folding and Napkins

I have finally completed my December Daily for 2019! I cut a selection of pages, envelopes, tags etc, originallyI was going to use book rings. I soon decided that they looked too bulky, so I opted for ribbon instead.

I wanted to keep it simple and easy to do, so I used a pad of stickers from Kaiserkraft which incorporated numbers from 1 to 31 which were very useful. 

I have also recently tried book folding for the first time. 

I also recycled a beautiful Deer image from a serviette. 

Thank you for visiting xx

Happy 2020

Wishing all of my crafting friends and followers, a very happy and healthy 2020 xx 

Merry Christmas Room

I have spent all of December making this little scene. It  is far from perfect, but at least I finally finished it in time for Christmas. 

Wishing you a wonderfully happy and magical Christmas time xx

Bah Humbug

This is most definitely not my own sentiment! I have made this for some one who is a real Bah Humbug person. I used a Christmas Carol stamp set, and stamped out the houses and Mr Scrooge, and coloured them all before fussy cutting and adhering them to my prepared canvas. I found an old fashioned lamp stamp too, and just in case things were not gloomy enough I added in Eeyore! 

I generously used texture paste smothered with fine glitter for snow, and added a small twig as a tree. After stamping and colouring some holly leaves at the top of the canvas, I flicked white acrylic paint over the scene as falling snow. Of course I did not forget to add the large Bah Humbug sign to the tree!

Thank you for visiting xx

I would like to enter this small canvas into the following challenges.

Artistic Stamper Christmas 

Star Of Wonder

I have made this canvas for a friend, who lives opposite the golf club, so he often has foxes visiitng him. One winter he took many photos of a fox happily playing in the snow outside his house. So I tried to recreate that scene for this canvas.

I used a wood fox from Calico Craft Parts, and painted him with acrylics, and added a fluffy tail from some needle felting wool. A brick stencil was useful to suggest his house, and texture paste covered with glitter worked as snow. I also added a some twigs and trees, and my finishing touch was to add battery operated lights.

Thank you for visiting me today, how is  your Christmas crafting going. xx
