Fleur De Lis Pendant

I used the Spellbinders Fleur de lis pendant die and red card stock cut out and embossed using the tan Matt then I cut the die shaped into quarters I attached the shapes to the left facing corner then attached some of the waste petal shapes to cast over the corner a bit like a sunburst.
The friends was stamped in red poppy ink, from PTI


Attention to Detail...

This is the border that can be purchased to match the pendant die, I actually cut it out on an extra piece of Kraft Card and stuck it down on top of the red card then added it to the base card where the ribbon is hiding the join.

Jack at 4 Weeks old

He is wonderful isn't he?
Just finding out that he actually does like the bath, So much hair to wash.
I could just kiss him to bits, he smells like a fresh new tea-cake scrummy.


Another Bag - Glittered Vintage

I posted earlier this week (here) about the inkjet transfer paper from Photo Paper Direct
this time I tried out the glitter transfer paper it isn't a heavy coating of glitter, more of a subtle twinkle, tiny gold flecks of glitter in the paper which adds that special touch, I printed out the vintage image then ironed the paper onto the bag on a flat surface (I used my marble cutting board) then left the paper to cool before peeling off the backing, this one leaves a glossy finish onto the bag, where as the plain leaves a more of a Matt finish.
Oh yes I nearly forgot to add, my Mam claimed this one.

Rudolph - Christmas Card

These punched out Reindeer were such fun to make, all I used was the Stampin Up oval punch and a small dusty miller leaf punch for the antlers some googly eyes and dew drop gems for the nose coloured with Copic markers in black and red, I also used the oval punch for the body and just turned it on it's side.
I found the idea whilst blog hopping here Andrea Walford

Attention to detail...



I added white flower soft to the fence, the fence was made using the cuttlebug distressed stripes A2 embossing folder then cut into strips and distressed by dragging each strip across a brown ink pad. Stickles was also added to give the snow effect.

Ollyfants Autumn

This stamp is from the Ollyfant range and is called Autumn 2 I love the wind swept little girl and the umberella in this set.
Coloured with Copic and Promarkers.


Attention to detail...

The ribbon was slotted through the button then tied into a bow.

The top patterned paper was punched to give it a fancy edge and the diecut Nestabilities label was sponged with ink around the edges.
