The Engineer - Mo Manning Image

It is Jim Harker's Birthday on Friday and I was dreading making him a card until I stumbled across this digi stamp by Mo Manning.

Jim is the Artist I work with at La Pashe, as you can imagine making a card for an artist is some mean task "but" as Jim is just crazy about trains and steam this image made it oh, so easy.

I coloured the image with Promarkers.

Attention to detail...

I used buttons and a leather twine to embellish the card. The background paper is one by K&Co which is all about railways and the stamping on the cream is a Steam Engine made by Personal Impressions.

This is what I did for the insert

Fingers crossed that Jim doesn't pop onto my blog.

Lovely Day

Isn't he just adorable?

Words just cannot describe how much I love this little lad.

Jack is now 10 weeks old with eyes of blue, I think it is now safe to say that he will now remain a blue eyed boy.

We had our dinner made for us today Lauren invited us and I have to say she makes a wonderful Sunday Roast. While Lauren was adding the finishing touches to dinner Chris (doting Grandad) stepped out with the Pram for a little walk and had the little lad nicely asleep so we could all enjoy our dinner.

News Flash

Excited??? I am.

I received an email from Mo Manning, if you follow my blog you will know that Mo is a very talented artist that also makes digi stamps and I have featured quite a few after falling in love with her work.

Well! on reading the email I soon became very, very excited. Mo asked me if I would be part of her Design Team, so of course I wrote straight back and accepted her offer, well really how could a girl resist.

It is going to be real fun, not only working with Mo but also the other Girls who will be making up the team, I'm sure you'll know a few of them, each and every one of them create some spectacular work.

Big thanks to Mo for asking me, also for a no stress post in her team.

Winters Eve

This is my favourite old stamp by Penny Black it most definitely must be Prancer. I heat embossed the stamp with a sparkly Galaxy powder then cut it out using a Labels die by Spellbinders and then sponged the edges with a deep indigo ink before adding the crushed glass glitter.

The background stamp is by Rubber Stampede and called Holiday Pear collage, another oldie.

Attention to detail...

I used the Sizzix Snowflake die to cut out the larger snowflakes then a punch by Kuretake for the smaller snowflake, I dipped the edges in crushed glass glitter to give them a bit of a dazzle.

those of you looking for the Crushed Glass Glitter head over to Joanna Sheen as she has it in stock.

Duck Day by Mo Manning

A sweet card using Duck Day digi Stamp by Mo Manning, coloured with Promarkers then glossy accents was added to the brolli top and the puddles.

Spellbinders Pendant Fleur de lis

This flower was made using the Spellbinders Pendant dies one of my free background damask papers printed onto cream paper, A cream base card and a wine coloured stardream card.

The Idea was cased from the very talented Becca Feeken at Amazing Paper Grace.

Attention to Detail...

The center pearl is a button, I also dotted a few more flat backed pearls around the pendant flower
