Funky Flowers

Hi! Here are a couple of Mother's Day cards I made, using my new Lili of the Valley flowers! I love these images :)

I coloured the flowers with inks. For the first card, I layered up the middle panel to add a bit of dimension, and added a little gem. For the second card, I added white dots with a white gelly roll pen, and some glitter with a Clear Star gelly roll pen.

You Stamped With What??

Hiya! There's a challenge over at Shopping Our Stash at the moment, to stamp with something that isn't a stamp! I was determined to come up with something for this, but it took a bit trial and error, and I'm still deciding whether I like the results or not... well, at least it's unique! There's a photo of the 'stamps' at the bottom of the post!

I stamped with the head of a screw, and used that to make flowers, adding Nuvo Drops to the centres. I drew the stems and leaves with a black pen. For the first card, I used the bottom of a pencil sharpener for a vase, then coloured it with Promarkers. In the second card I used the bottom of an oval perfume bottle (masking the top and bottom) to make the outline of vases, and coloured with inks. Here's what I made:

Colourful Daisies

Hi! Here are a couple more cards made with my new daisies stamp set. Seriously, inking, spritzing and stamping is my new favourite way of colouring, especially as I'm pretty bad at colouring with markers! I really love this watercolour technique! I added Nuvo Drops to the flower centres in the first card, to give a bit of dimension, and the colours are inspired by the current Color Throwdown challenge - they are so pretty! I like the softness of the second card, from the chalky-look of the Distress Oxides. The colours are inspired by my friend Debbie, as she often uses these two colours together in her cards, and they look stunning! :)

JOFY Trees Obsession

Hi! Here are a couple more cards made with Distress Oxide backgrounds and a JOFY trees stamp. These two are inspired by the colour challenges at Color Throwdown and MFT. I used Distress Oxides to make the backgrounds (with some Brilliance ink for the silver in the first card) and cut them out to fix to the card. I used a glitter pen and Nuvo Drops to add some final touches.
