Mothering Sunday

Mother's day card

This is my latest project which I am rather proud of. I did it for my mum for Mothering Sunday. I used stamps from Crafters Companion and stamped and watercoloured them, stamping again on patterned papers from Stampin up! to paper peice the dresses. I used some flowers from Wild Orchid and some pretty glittery flower peel offs i had in my stash that I put on the same papers from the project. I then used a bit of card candy in complimentary colours and some gem stones.

Belated Happy New Year.

I've been rather busy with this and that and haven't had much opportunity to get online. Hopefully all that will change this year. I've aquirred lots of new goodies in the past few months that I am hoping to play with now I have my studio back. I made a lovely card using Debbi Moore's new Chrystal Dreams cd. I enterd it into a competition she was running just before christmas.I used some card candy and Martha Stewart glitter to accent the easel card.
I also had the opportunity to play with the lovely Seraphina Through the Ages.

I bought myself a Cuttlebug late last year and have a loads of fun using it. These cards were the very first that I did using it. I can't craft now without it. I made all my christmas cards with it along with two beautiful stamps I picked up from Lil of the Valley at the NEC in November.

I used water color pencils to color the images. The papers were from one of the Crafters Compainion cd's along with some card candy and card stock I had in my stash. 
I've also made some cards using Cupcakecrafting's cd.

After several weeks of internet and computer problems I think I am finally back up and running again. I shall post some of the cards I've made over the past few weeks including some using the new stamps and papers from Crafters Companion. Their new SWALK range. I've had fun using the new stamps and coloring in with Promarkers, I've been rather nervous of using them but now I've started it's a little hard to stop.
