Oxford Starting School

Oxford is one of the new digi stamps my mo manning and can be bought here.

He's just gorgeous isn't he?

I made him into a 4 year olds card and made a Blackboard to go behind him, coloured with promarkers, some Papermania background papers, a button, handmade mini pencils and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Attention to detail...

The attention to detail could have been my blackboard or even the button tied with the twill tape but I decided to feature my pencils as they are so darn cute. Made with cocktail sticks and coloured with Promarkers.

Summer time card - Lacie with Ice- cream

The summer time card is a little ironic as yesterday we had bright sunshine then rain and later we even had hail stones here in the UK.

Lacie with Ice-cream is a new digi image by Mo Manning and can be purchased from Digital Pencil Too, I used Stampin Up background papers, Nestabilities Ovals, a Prima Flower some dew drops ribbon and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Attention to detail...

I added the Prima Flower then with a stickles glitter glue I just touched the edges of the flower to add a little sparkle.

As a few people asked me to do a tutorial on how to use the nestabilities with an overhang of the image I have done one, it is over on the tutorial page.

Nestabilities labels 10

The main feature on this card is the Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 10 and what a perfect way to accentuate them then having a stamp set purposely made to match them.

Claire Brennan at Waltzingmouse Stamps creates fantastic stamp designs so be sure to give her a visit and you won't be disappointed.

Melon coloured base card a cream Cuttlebug embossed background and a gold card underlay punched using the Martha Stewart border punch, a blossom and some pearls and a bit of love to bring it together.
