Meet Mabel - Prisma Colouring

A Fun Card
I saw this fun stamp by Art Impressions & thought it would be fun to colour it in bright zingy colours, so, out came the Prisma Pencils and the baby oil to blend the pencil lines.
I loved making this and thinking up some captions to add to it. my family all thought she looked like Sue Pollard (Peggy from Hi de Hi) but for some reason I named her Mabel lol!

Not Quite Floral Punch Craft

Mothers birthday Card
I loved making this card, my loving husband punched out all of the shapes for me from a Pear Punch each petal of the roses are made from 1 punched out pear I then used my bone folder to shape the individual petals then carefully glued them together to form the roses.
I then took other smaller full flower punched shaped and used a ball tool to cup chape them and added tiny pearls to the centre of each flower, the stalks were made by twisting green strips of paper into stalk shapes then glueing the smaller flowers on top the leaves were cut out free hand.
I used the oval nestabilities the scalloped in the same deep red as the rose and the plain oval in the same light cream as the base card.





It's hard to believe
that the shapes from
this pear punch was
made into these
roses





RAK Cards Received

A RAK Card from Katie

I just love this little Bicycle it's so cute with the baskets filled with flowers and the colours all work wonderfully together, I know from the note attached to the card that Katie raided her Mum's craft stuff to make it.
Thank you Katie this was just the pick up tonic I needed.



A Rak card from Teal (Jackie)

I received this beautiful Rak card from Teal, made with Aprils release colours and Butterfly Kisses stamps from PTI also layered with a white Cuttlebug embossed card I was so greatful to receive it.

And another...

Woodware flower and leaf maker punches.

Once you start you just can't stop, these are so addictive, made as the earlier cards except I used black card for the leaves so no shading work on them.

Flower & Leaf Maker Punch

I decided to give the Flower Punch another whirl using more dramatic colours and as I'm still having problems with my hands my lovely husband Chris came to the rescue and punched the 2 flower heads out for me.

I used Black archival ink to shade the petals and stamp the DMD Border Stamps.
