Found some gold paint...

Hiya! I was sorting out the craft room, and found some gold acrylic paint that I'd forgotten I had, and had never used... I decided to have a go with it. Here are a couple of very simple CAS cards I made with it. I'm still trying to decide if they are TOO CAS though!

In the first card I painted the flower centres with gold, and left everything else white. For the second card I used inks to colour the dragonfly's body, and used gold paint for the wings. For the third card, the gold is on the bee's stripes. I used a clear star glitter pen for its wings, and coloured the flower with inks, adding a touch of gold to the base of the flower.

The Magic of Unicorns

Hi! Friends of ours have a lovely little daughter who is completely obsessed with unicorns, as every sensible person should be... So I made them a unicorn Christmas card using a Lili of the Valley image, coloured with inks and sparkled with a clear star gel pen. I added some glittery Nuvo Drops to the santa hat, for even more glitter! The photos aren't great, as they were taken in a hurry, but you get the idea :)

I also had loads of fun making some 'unicorn poo' for her. It's made with various glitters, nuvo drops, and glow in the dark powder. You should have seen the state of my desk afterwards... but hopefully she will like it! I made the label with a bit of torn paper, edged with a Clear Star gel pen.

Inky Splats & Christmas Trees

Hiya! Here's a card I made with my new splat stamp, which I LOVE! It's a great way of creating a quick inky background by splodging some distress oxides on it, spritzing and then stamping. When it was dry, I stamped the trees and coloured them with inks and gel pens.

Teal & Gold Daisies

Hiya! Here's a card I made for a friend of mine. I love this stamp set! I stamped the outline in black, then inked up the petals stamp with distress inks, spritzed with water and then stamped.
