Sweet Stamp Shop April Release

I was thrilled to be asked to do a guest spot for the Sweet Stamp Shop and I am so lucky to be working with a Brand new Stamp set called Cityscape.

I had a play with this one and made a luminar and such fun to make.

 

Basically I stamped the building in a continuous strip then cut them out, I made a cylinder box with black card and vellum and wrapped the buildings around the base of the box, I used battery operated tea lights for the lighting, of course I had to finish with a pretty ribbon bow.

My next project with Cityscape is a card, I tried to keep it clean and simple.

 

Stamping out the images in teal, Petrol Blue and Aqua then cutting around them and stacking them one on top of the other using foam pads.

Now head over to the Sweet Stamp Shop Blog for more inspiration and to see all of the other new releases.

Unbelievable….

4 months ago I was unsure if I could still ride a bicycle, I used to watch Chris go out on his wishing that I could venture out with him.

I was told that by strengthening my core it would help with my back pain so we decided that I was also get a bike, it has been a slow process as some of the weeks my back was in such a state that I couldn’t even think of going out, but I kept at it.

Chris has had the patience of a Saint with me, he takes me out does a cycle run with me and then goes out again to do his own cycle run.

I have the watery eyes problem when riding and needed some sport sunglasses but didn’t want to go down the route of prescription ones as it would mean new ones every time I bought new glasses so I heard or read about the Over Glasses.  basically sun glasses that fit over your prescription glasses.

Mine arrived today

They work perfectly, so much so I’m awaiting another pair for in the car.

So my big achievement this week is……..

I did a 14 mile bike ride Whoooo hoooooo!

This is my stats from the ride

Who would have thunked it? little old me getting that far.

Old Fashioned Afternoon

A card made with the Old Fashioned Afternoon stamp set from Sweet Stamp Shop 

The stamp set has some gorgeous designs on it including a penny farthing bicycle so I had to have it.

I made the balloon into a decoupage image by stamping the balloon twice then cutting one out after colouring it with copic markers I added some Collall gel behind it to lift it up.

Designer papers are from Kaiser Kraft.

All that was left to do was to add some embellishments.

Dance, in the old fashioned way…..

Won't you stay in my arms?
Just melt against my skin
And let me feel your heart,
Don't let the music win
By dancing far apart.

Are you singing along yet? I just couldn’t help singing this when colouring this image.

Kitchen Dance by Mo’s Digital Pencil 

Coloured with Copic markers and chalk pencils and team with K&Co and Papertrey Ink designer papers

Just like me and Chris on a Saturday night, you have to sill your time in some how.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, aren't they gorgeous? and pearls from Mei Flower
