Cattitude


I love this new cattitude decoupage. Unfortunately i think i am having a bad day as this hasn't come out as i wanted it to. This is for my grandma who is going into hospital soon for an operation to try remove ''the silent killer'' otherwise known as ovarian cancer. I know she will find the images as funny as i do.

Button fairy


I decided to join an organized swap to make the new craze of button fairy's. I must admit my heart wasn't in it and i am not too impressed with the result. I don't think i will be making anymore of these, its not my thing.

Card making again


No time for ATC's at the moment i have a ton of cards to make!! This one is for my partners team at work, one of the team is getting married on Saturday.

Love Magenta stamp sets



I made this card a while ago for the mother-in-law's 50th birthday. The picture does not do it justice in my humble opinion.
Magenta stamp set, stamped with black stazon and water coloured with aquarel water colour crayons using a paint brush. Backed with gold metallic card and lifted off the card with 1mm foam pads. She loved it!!

Faith



I love this stamp and have not used it for a while so I thought I would get it out to make 2 ATC's I owed. Stamped onto cream card with Versamark watermark stamp pad and the chalked over with pearlescent chalk. Set in place with cheap hair spray. I like the end result.

Slide Mailer






I made my first slide mailer this week. After a couple of troubles getting the paint even i finally managed to get a base i was happy with. Base paint is metallic acrylic paint, rain drops stamped with stazon on the front. Words stamped onto white card with brilliance pearlescent ink and daubed over the top with a lighter normal ink.














Inside words done the same way as the outside. Glass stamped with stazon and coloured on the back with sakura souffle pens. The glass was stuck down with stickles glitter glue.

Melting pot fun turned into an ATC


After a few failed attempts with the melting pot i finally got the hang of it and decided to turn my one successful Comedy/Tradgedy mask into an ATC. Background is alcohol inks, mask secured with pinflair glue gel as i find this product very strong and easy to use. The stamp is from Hero Arts and comes in a set called 'Artistic branches', stamped with stazon black.
