I Love You-nicorn

Hiya

Ok, I admit it. I am a bit obsessed with this unicorn image. So I decided to make a Valentines card with it. I'm not entirely sure the sentiment works, but I still like it!

The unicorns are coloured with smooshed inks again, and I used a Wink of Stella pen and a gelly roll pen to add the shimmer and sparkle.

More Distress Oxide Trees

Hiya! I am completely obsessed with Distress Oxides! I have been making backgrounds with different colour combinations, using the watercolour smooshing technique, then spritzing with Glimmer Mist. I stamp the trees onto the backgrounds and fussy cut them out. After gluing them to the cards, I have added detail with a glitter pen and some Nuvo Drops.

Here are a few I have made:

Christmassy Distress Oxide Skies...

Hi! I've finally made a start on my Christmas cards! I've made 10 reindeer cards, creating the sky with Distress Oxides, and then layering die cuts. I used Nuvo Drops for eyes. I wanted to take a photo of all 10 cards together, as each sky is different, but there's not enough room on my desk, and to anyone but me they probably all look the same... So here's a pic of my favourite one, and a few pics of some of the others!

Cat in a Tree Notelets

Hi! A friend of mine asked me to make a set of 6 notelets for her to give as a gift to her friend, She loves cats and trees, so I used an image of a cat in a tree! I created the background with ink dusters to create a night sky. I'm thinking of adding some Stickles to the leaves and wildflowers to add a bit of shimmer, but I'm not sure. Probably ought to ask if she likes sparkly things first!

New Stamp Set!

Hiya! Here's a card I made with a stamp set my lovely Aunt sent to me a few days ago :)  I stamped the tree, leaves in green, and then the flowers. There's an individual leaf stamp which I used to add red and orange leaves to the tree, then some red, orange and green leaves to the ground. I used ink dusters and torn scrap paper as a mask to create the hills.

Happy Bird-day

Hiya! Here's a card I made, using a stamped and half-coloured image I'd had lying around for a little while! I finished colouring, using inks and a water brush, and let it dry. I cut it out and stuck it to a square piece of card that I'd printed the sentiment on. I added gems and used a wink of stella pen for sparkle.
