THIS OLD HOUSE

Here is another card using a new Dovecraft Stamp that I got last week for 99p. Just love these little stamps and the price is great as well!



I tried colouring in again using my inkpads and water and I don't think it turned out too bad. I do have Watercolour Pencils - but can I find them - NO! So I have resorted to using ink pads and felt tip pens.



I added a bit of glitter to the door - pity now as I should have used green (Shakin Stevens comes to mind LOL!!) and a small bit on the swirl on the roof but you cant see it! I added 3D foam pads to both layers.

I did a bit of extra colouring just for the image to sit on as I felt it was a bit stark!! Hubby still thinks the card is too bland - he says that I need to add something on the front!! But it can wait as I took the picture and put it on here before he saw it!

BABY STAMP (AGAIN)

Been having a little play tonight with that cute little stamp again!!



As you can see in this piccy the glue is still wet under the buttons.

The paper is by K & Co from my LCS and the buttons are from all over (in other words I cant remember where I bought them ;o))



I know my friend is having a girl but i wanted to try colouring the pram in Blue - and I quite like how this card looks! Very simple!!



The paper is from a local Pound Shop - 12 sheets for £1.00. I used my Chalk Ink Pad to stamp the pram and also edge the card. I just used normal felt tips to do the colouring with a bit of added water.



Sorry to bore you with the same stamp again - but I just like it!!!!

OH BABY

Been having a little play tonight with this cute little stamp that I bought today and also the paper which is by Laura Ashley.



One of my old work colleagues from when I worked as a barmaid is having a baby girl (2 months 2 go) and she has asked me to do a few sample cards to announce the arrival of said baby. She has bought some from a shop but she also wants some 'handmade' ones for family. So I thought I would give the stamp a try tonight and see how it looked.

Now I am not a stamper - but these small ones are right up my street and I also love the clear acrylic stamps. So today when I was out I bought this little cutie for 99p and also the Laura Ashley Premium Clear Stamps £5.99. Plus I couldn't leave the shop without buying the Contemporary and Traditional paper packs at £2.99 each for the 6in x 6in. So I was a very happy bunny today :o)

DARING CARD MAKERS - BUTTERFLY, FLUTTERBY

This weeks friday challenge is Butterfly, Flutterby

Hi everyone :) Jo here with this week's dare....
I seem to like butterflies at the mo. This week therefore I would like you to put some butterflies on cards. Stitched, felt, shiny, bright, plain, paper pieced, stamped, drawn... you get the idea :) any theme of card but it must have a butterfly somewhere on the card!

Well here is my go!



I used a Dovecraft Stamp for the background and an Anna Griffin stamp for the Butterfly - I used my creamy Brown Chalk Inkpad on both the stamps. I also added some copper wire to make the antenna for the butterfly. The quote is from a Mariah Carey song that I found on the net.



Hope you like it!!
