Baroque Christmas Tree–IndigoBlu

I got the most beautiful present from Kay at IndigoBlu on Wednesday.
It is the Baroque Christmas Tree, not only did she leave me her stamp but even the Slim Jim acrylic stamp block, I’d ordered the Flitter glitter glue and Mega flakes to use it but just couldn’t wait for it to arrive as I was itching to get it stamped.

And of course a little close up for you

I used fine detail White embossing powder then added a gem from Mei Flower here and there to accent the tree.
Just to Clarify, the background is stamped by using part of a flourish by Papertrey ink.

Back to basics

Hi everyone, just a note to remind you that me shows for La Pashe are tomorrow, I'm at Peterborough now sitting and relaxing before tomorrow.
I have a post set for the morning with peeks of what I will be demoing and times and links. I also have a freebie which will come in handy for those that buy the fabulous new decoupage sheets, so be sure to come back and pick it up. Ohh you might want to tape the shows too for some ideas.

If you remember I had my nails done a little while back and to be honest I was less than pleased with the result, I ended up having the false tips removed and having gel nails added to cover up the dreadful mess, my nails are still recovering so I have had them cut back as short as possible and had a product called CND Shellac over the top of them to make them look presentable.
So today a did a little bidding and won a starter kit of the product.

Life in the Old Dog–Lazy Mutt

Aren’t these fabulous? Lazy Mutt by Mo’s Digital Pencil I think any animal lover would love these.

I saw a card by Jane which had two of these on and fell in love with it so I knew I’d be giving them a whirl. If you are new to colouring and want something easy to colour then this is the set for you, the card was made very quickly in between my prepping for shows.

I just love the simplicity of it. Coloured with Copic markers.
