Love this image by Saturated Canary Digis she’s a little stunner.

DCWV designer papers, the fancy edge was made using a spellbinders die and the image was coloured with Copic sketch markers

Angelic! You Think?

Now as far as I’m aware Monday’s child is fair of face, i think this one just about makes it.

Flamin Go

Apparently when flamingo’s start their courtship the male of the species has to win it’s mate by performing a dance and when she is suitable impressed she gives in to his charming light-footedness and they become mates for life, this then excites others around them so much so that they copy his dance to celebrate. amazing huh!

Meet Ollie and Olga by Karen’s Doodles I could have gone two ways with this stamp Ostrich or flamingo but when i checked out their courtship habits I knew which i had to do.

It’s kind of funny because in my own courtship Chris was known for trying to impress me at the disco with a kind of turkey strut Oooo the memories.

A surprising Tonic

Where to start? These little beauties fell through my door while I was at work today, well actually the came in a dirty great box and my neighbour took them in for me. Decisions, decisions.
I also want to give a shout out to Ursula for a beautiful letter and some crochet flowers which she sent to me.

Victorian Mystique

I got the pleasure to work with some new stamps from Wonderland Stamps I just love the steampunk style, there is an air of attitude to them yet an elegance that the Victorians did so very well.

This one is image Wonderland No19 from Wonderland Stamps

I used a set of papers from my digital Scrapbook software as they fit perfect, coloured the image with the BG range of Copics a lush satin ribbon some die cut gears and a of bit paper piecing and some matting and layering.
