Hugs

Hi all,

How are you all enjoying this fabulous warm sunny weather?. I'm lovin it - got the windows and back door wide open so got lots of lovely fresh air coming in and sitting here in front of the french doors letting the sunshine warm my back lol. My neighbours are currently cutting their grass but we're not that brave just yet lol!.

Anyway thought I would pop on today with a cute little card I made using an adorable LOTV image - I got one of the B&W pads when this set first came out and forgot I had it until I found it the other day, so have a coloured a couple up and this is the first one.

The image is from Sketch Pad 2 - Jack, Patch & Puss but is also available as a stamp called Big Hug. I coloured the image using my PM's and tried to give the fur a bit of texture to make it look a bit more realistic. The papers are from Cosmo Cricket and I used a couple of cute embellishments from the MMCS £1 Embellishment range - Wooden Heart & Resin Daisy. I finished off with a bit of gingham ribbon and a few pearl gems.

Thanks for popping by my blog today, hope you all have a fantastic weekend I know I will!

How does you garden grow

Hi all,

I have a sweet little card to show you today using a very adorable Lilli of the Valley image. I have actually had this image coloured up for ages and have finally got round to making it into a card. The image is called Watering the Flowers and it just sooo cute.

I wanted this card to have a bit of a shabby feel to it and so distressed all the papers and card mats with some white acrylic paint, then wiping if off so you could still see the pattern underneath. I added lots of gorgeous WOC flowers, apart from the big one which is actually made using mini cake cases scrunched up and then the tips painted with a bit of pale blue paint. All the flowers and die cut flourishes got the paint white treatment too and I added lots of other pretty things such as the cheesecloth, lace, metal flowers etc.

I really love how this card turned out and will definately be trying this distressing technique out again.

Birthday Bears

Hi all,

I have some class cards to show you today using some gorgeous LOTV stamps & papers and following a fab sketch from Sweet Sketch Sunday. We do a sketch in class every 6-8 weeks and the ladies love the freedom of choosing the papers and stamps, although I do have to work out all the measurements for them beforehand as they all like to use the same lol

The cards are kept quite clean and simple as with class only being 1.5 hours you cant really go over the top with embellies and stuff.

Also before I go - keep your eyes peeled as we are having a new release soon over at Ladybug Crafts Ink
