Messy Rabbit Painting

I searched amongst my oldest stamps and found Messy Rabbit by Joanna Sheen stamped and coloured with spectrum noir pens, then cut them out. At last I got to use my new cricut expression 2 for the letters so useful when you can cut out different sized letters

I so enjoyed this project  for my eldest daughter, wanted it to look old so I distressed embossed just kept adding different things till I thought it looked the part 

am pleased with the result hope you all agree 

 I saw this card on pinterest and this is my take on it

 I embossed background with S.U."Decorative Dots" embossing folder, the  middle panel on cream on brown is Spellbinders "Parisian Accents" the Daisy and leaves are Spellbinders "Positively Me" I used 4 and added   Pinflair to raise them up. used 2 circle punches for middle cut the green and embossed the yellow middle with a small dots folder  the twigs I diecut with a "Marianne die" in matching brown card and snipped off the leaves.stamped Happy in brown and die cut the Birthday Marianne die"

On Saturday I went to a new shop in Skegness called The Crafting Lounge. www.thecraftinglounge.co.uk (used to be Mindy's)well worth a trip .... I loved these male stamps by Stamps U Love from "Craftstyle" I stamped the image and coloured with Spectrum Noir then cut it out layered on black... Backing paper is Buzz I wanted it to look like a shirt I think I achieved just that... the strip tartan is a StampinUp wheel in blue ink to match the colours of the shirt added sentiment and bling

My new Indigo Blu stamps

Baaa Baaa

I used my Spellbinder Blossom die for the main body of the lamb. The face is  StampinUp Owl punch using the eyes and the main body, the feet are Stampin Up bird punch the wing just looks like the legs of a lamb. the scallop edge is a Stampin Up edger die The alphabet is an embossing folder and I just cut out the letters the little bird is a tonic punch and the sentiment from my stash I used cream and blue card stock and my dotted embossing folder a bow makes it complete

Lady Grey

I saw the idea for this card in CREATIVE STAMPING magazine I just changed it around to suit me.........

the Art Deco stamps  used are free from the magazine.

I stamped the figure in black on grey card then coloured in with a white pencil. I used a ruler and white pencil  to create a frame then matted and layered on black and blue card stock

 I cut various strips of grey and blue card and lay them on white card with a strip of white showing I used 3 strips of Tim Holtz tape down the side I used one of my spellbinder dies along the left hand side Cheery Lynne swirl with punched flowers.

Vintage Wedding Swaps

 I had to search through my stash to make this Vintage Atc and card for Our swap group "Crafty Card Swap"

I just don't do weddings but remembered I had some Graphic 45 pics that I used for another project and luckily these just fit in with this months makes

the frame,hearts  and little flowers are from 2 different sets of  "LeaBilities" dies the spare bit from the flowers looked like little horseshoes which fitted in with the theme. I used a swirly metal stencil and a gold pen for the dotted swirls..also on the envelope but added the flowers from the same stencil the pearls are made using a "Pinflair" pearl wand the Atc itself is from my Leonie Artist Trading card set which I won in  a raffle.

I used the same stencil for the background , the flowers and frame are from the same sets of Lea'Bilities as above the gold flowers are cut down from a  Cheery Lynn die and I cut  because I just wanted the daisies.
the swirl is a Cheery Lynn die cut in half.I distressed the sides with Victorian Velvet Distress ink. added the pearls  and the sentiment from the Graphic45 sheet
