Sunset Snowstorm

Hiya. I made another card using the Lavinia 'tree' stamp, but wanted to use more colours, so I made this one with a sunset. I added Nuvo Glitter drops to the tree, but they don't show up very well in the photo. They look lovely though, like glittery baubles, and they keep their 3D shape :)

CAS on Friday Guest Designer!

Hi! I am very honoured to be invited as guest designer for the current challenge over at CAS on Friday! The theme is:

One layer wonder - make a card with no layers

I have a brand new stamp set from Paper Artsy, which I thought would be perfect for this challenge. I stamped the flowers, then coloured with inks and a water brush. When dry, I added extra detail with a white gel pen. To keep it completely one layer, I resisted the urge to add Nuvo Drops - I'm never quite sure if Nuvo Drops or gems are allowed on one layer cards! But I'm pleased with how it turned out - the white gel pen brightens up the blocks of colour.

Ingredients:

Paper Artsy stamp set: EKC15 (by Kay Carley)

'Birthday Wishes' sentiment from Woodware 'Daisy Panel'

Adirondack Ink pads: Cranberry, Butterscotch, Meadow

White Sakura Gelly Roll gel pen

Think Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness

Hi! Here's a card I made, inspired by al the pink for Breast Cancer Awareness. I used the colours from the Color My Heart challenge. I coloured the image with watercolour pencils and water brush, and a silver pen. When it was dry, I used a Wink of Stella pen on the petals to give a shimmer to them, although it doesn't show up very well in the photos, so you'll have to take my word for it! :)

Bats!

Hi! Here's a card I made using distress oxides and die cut bats. I really love distress oxides, and getting messy with smooshing the ink around. It's quite addictive, and I love the end result!

I didn't add a sentiment because I don't really send Halloween cards, but I might send a cute bat card for a birthday or just as a Thinking of You (although some people might take that personally...). Anyway, here's the card!
