Feather Christmas Tree card

Good morning all, 

Yay

It is Friday. 

I do hope you have a lovely weekend to look forward too. 

I am just popping in to let you know that I have another 

little catch up video to share with you. 

This one was made after one of our lovely Lavinia friends got in touch and asked about a card 

design that I had made. 

Thanks so much Vi Wilkinson for messaging me. 

Here is your video to hopefully answer some of your questions.

A starting point and I am really looking forward to seeing where you take the ideas. 

Thanks for popping in 

Take care 

Much love and hugs

Full of Hope

Good morning all, 

How are you today ? 

I don’t know about you but it is definitely cooler here today. 

We are nudging into Autumn.

Fancy that , my favourite colours. 

I couldn’t resist using them on one of my recent Aall & Create samples. 

I started with a white board tag from That’s Crafty. As you know I am a big fan of these. 

I started by adding the ink, direct to the tag. 

Next I stamped in black ink and added clear embossing powder. 

This is a wonderful new stamp from Tracy Evan’s, and it works so well here. 

Next I added some doodles with a white gel pen, plus this wonderful Janet Klein heart, 

I just loved playing around and deciding where I was going to place  my embellishments. 

Some posca splats and some coordinating wool and my design was complete. 

Here is a closer look 

I just adore the details, 

I am off now to the post office. 

I hope you have a lovely day, whatever you are doing. 

Much love and hugs

Falling Leaves.

Good morning everyone, 

Wow, September already. 

 

As it is a new month , 

We have a new Lavinia Challenge. 

Our new theme is 

Falling Leaves.

Here is my inspiration for you 

I do hope you like it.  

I started by cutting my card to size and doing my stamping.

My favourite ‘Shady Lady ‘ ink pad. 

Next I added some colour using Elements ink and water. 

Followed by the stencil work, 

As always I stencilled across all the layers at the same time. 

I added some extra detail using my chalk pastel pencils. 

Followed by some ink and water splats. 

A sentiment , some sparkle with my signo pens , some shadows and my art work is finished. 

Here is a closer look. 

This is such a fun challenge I do hope you join in. 

Remember you could win £40 to spend at Lavinia , and the winner is chosen at random, 

You can find all the details on the website. 

I hope you have a lovely day. 

Thanks for joining me today. 

Much love and hugs

Small Dwellings in a Hanging Garland

Good evening everyone, 

I thought I would pop back with another little video to share with you.

A lovely gift

Good afternoon everyone, 

I do hope you have had a lovely weekend.

We had a couple of visits to the park with Elliot and Jenson  and luckily we had some sunny weather too. 

I must say though, it is so cold today. 

Definitely feeling a bit more like Autumn. 

I had a lovely surprise in the post 

Look what I received. 

Thank you so much Sheena, you made my day. 

So thoughtful of you. 

Today I am busy creating more samples for the tv. 

So I thought I would share a recent Aall & Create sample with you. 

A nice clean and simple design. 

I started with my layers of card, and as you know I like to add my sharpie line at this point. 

I then stamped  my main image in black ink. 

Next I added some stencil work, 

Across all 3 layers. 

I added colour to my image and some glossy accents to the heart. 

It really makes it pop. 

Some shadows and a little thread ribbon, 

Nothing too heavy as I didn’t want to distract from the beautiful stamped image. 

Some posca splats and the design was complete. 

Here is a closer look 

Thanks so much for popping in. 

Take care everyone 

Much love and hugs

That Friday Feeling

Good afternoon everyone. 

I hope you are having a lovely day and that

you have a wonderful bank holiday weekend planned. 

I think I will be sleeping all day tomorrow, I am shattered. 

Jenson was sent home from nursery yesterday with conjunctivitis so we have been looking after him.

Wow, he has so much energy…

So I am just popping in with a quick catch up. 

This is one of my samples from the ODS currently appearing on The Craft Store. 

I had great fun creating this sample. 

Oh yes, my favourite colour ‘of the moment ‘ 

I stamped the main design plus some extra bits for embellishments. 

I love this distress glaze , it gives such a great finish, 

For anyone who hasn’t got the Prize Ribbon ink yet, 

I must say that I do think you need it. 

Some white splats and twine just finish off the design. 

Thanks so much for popping in today,

Have a wonderful weekend 

Much love and hugs

Today we are going to create something a bit different, 

A wall hanging tag.

A place to hang some keys . 

This is the plaque without the keys on 

As you can see I am loving all the blue tones at the minute.
