Wishing you Happiness

Hi I hope all is well with you. It looks like spring is finally arriving with some sunny days predicted for next week. I have been making a few slimline cards recently, it is nice to work with a different size card. 

For this card I have used one of the stunning new stamps by Anita Jeram, who illustrated the “ Guess How Much I Love You “ books. I created the background and coloured the stamp with water colours,

Reflecting

Hello, I hope all is ok with you. Here in the UK tomorrow is the National Day of Reflection. It will be a year since our first lockdown, and we will be remembering all those who have sadly died from this horrific virus.I am not sure of the exact number now, and I dread to look it up. 

I have like so many others spent a year stuck at home, only going out to attend medical appointments. 

 I have recently been spending my time going through my stamp collection. Which was rather overflowing! I ended up with quite a collection of surplus stamps, which I gave away on facebook. I also came across the first stamps I ever owned which were some lovely wooden Classic Pooh ones. So of course I couldn’t resist having a play with them.

I used them in this little mint tin, which I altered into a little 100 Acre Wood Scene.

I used decoupage papers to cover the tin, and added a little Pooh and Piglet punch out which is also quite old! 

National Day of Reflection

We will never forget the precious lives lost.

Stay safe xx

The Storm will Pass

Hello how are you today? I want to begin my post by thanking Carol from  Crafty Stamper for kindly alerting me that I had won the Stamping Sensations February challenge. I have now added my name to my blog as Brenda didn’t know who the winner was! I am very much looking forward to receiving my voucher from Bee Crafty. It must have been my lucky month as I also won the Paperbabe challenge, and Kim has already kindly sent me some lovely stamps, which I hope to play with soon. Thank you very much Kim xx

I haven’t  made any ATC coins for nearly a year, so I thought it was time to make some again. I’ve called them “The Storm Will Pass”, and let’s hope it really does. I should be getting my second vaccine in a month or so, and hopefully it maybe safe to leave home.... I water coloured the stamped image, and also used clear embossing powder. 

Stay safe xx

Dance with Joy

Hello and thank you for stopping by. I hope you are doing ok, it looks as if the virus numbers and sad deaths may be starting to come down which is very good news! More and more of those of us who are vulnerable are being vaccinated, which is all very good news. So maybe just  maybe there is a little light at the end of this very dark long tunnel.

I have made yet another card using this lovely pink ink designs fairy Stamp. This time I drew a little dancing Teddy bear in her hand. I stamped and coloured some flowers, and leaves and fussy cut them to add around the edge of the picture. Pink Ink had a Facebook challenge to use lead pencil to colour your stamped images, I enjoyed giving this a try, and went on to create several more cards in the same vein.

Hello, how are you today? 

I have been having fun with Tracy’s stamps again, and this time I have combined  it with hanging flowers from Chocolate  Baraque. I used watercolours to create the background, and to colour the images. I think this lovely little lady is out having a nice spring walk in the park. 

Thank you for visiting me today, I hope you are staying safe, and enjoying crafting, it helps to take your mind off things for a while doesn’t it xx
