The Handbag - Digi Stamp

I figured that I couldn't make a shoe card without the perfect accessory so I set to work on making this handbag card.
This is another digi stamp from sketching stamper digi-stamps coloured with copic sketch markers then layered onto SU Paper.
A matching ribbon and a couple of buttons to finish.


Attention to Detail...



Stickles Diamond glitter glue was added to the clasp on the handbag to make it twinkle.

The Shoe - Copic Creations Challenge 10

I created this card for the Copic Creations Challenge, I don't normally do challenges but my friend Marge told me about it & thought this one could be fun, I had The Shoe digi stamp by sketching stamper digi-stamps just sitting itching to be coloured so here it is, my challenge entry.


Attention to detail...

I wasn't sure which part of detail to show you on this card, the single petal at the bottom corner, the punched out heart shape in the top corner, the double tied ribbon? so I plumbed for the rose and the shoe detail.

The rose was made with a heart punch, I distressed some paper with red ink fading it out to a pink shade then punching out the hearts and tweaking the shapes into individual petals.


The front of the shoe was adorned with gold bedazzles to give a little sparkle and to add dimension.

Fantasy Tree

A white base card layered with gold and another white card, stamped with the Penny Black Fantasy Tree and heat embossed with gold detail powder.
I punched out snowflakes from acetate (be warned; I also broke one of my punches in the process) then dotted them with glossy accents and dropped them into some crushed glass glitter.
The snowflakes were added to the card with silicon then a pearl popped on the top of each one.


Attention to detail...

A large snowflake cut from acetate, dotted with glossy accents and dipped in crushed glass glitter.

The ribbon was tied through an iridescent button and tied into a bow.

A Big Thank You

A big thank you for all the wonderful comments made on my previous post, I have had the PUVA treatment before with good results so that is why I am so eager to have it again.

I have also been on Methotrexate for my arthritis and yes this drug did help but unfortunately I had to be took off it for health reasons, I feel like the light at the end of a tunnel knowing that my treatment will soon start.

On another note I had no idea so many of you out there suffered with psoriasis, nasty little devil that it is, also I empathise with those of you that hide away as I do the same, often apologise when handing money to shop assistants in case they think it is catching, often try to hide it away hoping that know one will notice it.

I hope you all have a scratch free night and some ease from the tightness it causes.
