We are having an auction at my Church so I am frantically building up a stock of cards which hopefully will bring in a few much needed pounds for Church funds. I love these Crafty Individual papers and stamps - in fact I think the Springtime Background Papers are some of the loveliest I have seen. I stamped in Versamagic Ocean Depth and added some Glossy Accents to the heart - it hasn't picked up very well on the scan. Added some punching from Martha Stewart punches, a small piece of ribbon and finished with flower and lovely brad.

Thanks for looking.

This is an image I received in a swap on CSF. Coloured with Copic markers and matted onto My Mind's Eye paper - I love these images - just wish they had mouths ! lol. Thanks for looking.


Oh I just love these images from Crafty Individuals - just perfect for men's cards. I stamped with Archival Ink jet black and inked the edges with DI peeled paint. Matted onto two different green mats and onto Stampin Up card. The leaf stamp is also Stampin Up. Thanks for looking.

I love this set of three bird stamps from Crafty Individuals and think they make lovely cards for men. I have stamped the two that I have used in DI and embossed with clear EP. The small flower flourish is from Stampin Up. A simple but effective card. Thanks for looking.

Another card using one of Mo's Digital Pencil downloads. Coloured with Copic Markers, background paper is from My Mind's Eye, Simply Delightful range. I have made the handheld game shiny with Glossy Accents, not too sure this shows up on the pic.

Thanks for looking.


Another card made for a friend on Craftswap Forum, made using the watercolour stamping technique, I used DI for the background and main image, the butterfly is coloured using Copic Markers - the card is from Stampin Up - lovely colours available.
Thanks for looking.

Another watercoloured image - I am 'on-a-roll' trying to get all my birthday cards finished before my holiday in May and then the medical stuff to get on with ! I love this stamped image which was one I received in a swap on Craft Swap forum (thanks Paul ), coloured with Copic pens, background distress inks and then Glossy Accents used on butterfly.

Thanks for looking.



Another card using the lovely Elusive Images stamps which came in a stash box from Graphicus, I just love them. Once again using watercolour stamping and finishing with Glossy Accents.

Thanks for looking.

Here is a card which I have made using watercolour stamping technique for the first time. I used TH distress inks on stamp then sprayed with water before stamping onto card. I then used watercolour brush to drag the inks onto the image, when dry I covered the poppy heads with glossy accents. I used the distress inks around the edge of the pic, stamped and embossed the butterfly and coloured with copic markers, added ribbon bow and sentiment. A really easy card to make but I think it is so effective. I shall be using this technique much more in future. Thanks for looking.

This is card for my friend's teenage granddaughter, I have used an image from Mo's Digital Pencil - I think her images are great if you don't have an appropriate stamp you want to use. I printed it out and paper pieced the background - coloured with Copic markers and added a couple of embellishments.
Thanks for looking.

Cover of my SSP Circle Book II


This is the cover for my SSP Circle Book II - as the stamp I chose to use was from TH range, I thought I would stick to the same theme for the cover - I just love the TH Alterables range of dies for the Bigshot and coloured with distress inks and then added distress stickles and a bit of bling with the coloured stones. Thanks for looking.
