Summer Blooms

Happy Friday Friends :)

I have been super busy this week and not had much time to craft. I started making this card last week. I painted the flowers with my watercolours. So I  just had to finish it off with the sentiment, ribbon and rhinestones today. The sentiment is from a grab bag and the flower is from the lovely Angie Blom Kit called  Bloom & Simplify.  I am really loving that blue and green colour combination it is so fresh and summery  :)

Butterfly Girl

Hello Friends

I played along with this month's Be Inspired Challenge  over at the Unity blog. These are the colours for this month they are so pretty!

 So I got out my new Kennedy Girl stamp and painted her with watercolours. Next added lots of gems to her wings and two tiny punched butterflies in opposite corners. I heat embossed the sentiment with turquoise embossing powder. Finally I layered the card on to some yellow card before adhering to the blue card base.

Bold Butterfly

Hello Friends

It's Friday yay!! Time for Friends with Flair over at the Unity blog. This is my card for this week more butterflies ha!

I bought this stamp last week and just had to ink it up. How pretty is this butterfly it is called Bold Butterfly designed by Donna Downey. It is so so pretty!  The sentiment is from the new Kennedy Girl stamp she is next on my list to  ink up. I used my Peacock Feathers distress ink on the butterfly it is such a lovely colour. I cut out the butterfly and glued just the body on to the card. Then stamped my sentiment and sprinkled a trail of rhinestones.

Have a wonderful weekend thanks for visiting xox

Art Journal Cover

Hello Friends

I hope you all had a great week. I sure did I was in Maine for a few days. I just love that place it was sooo relaxing. I started off making a card for this weeks Friends with Flair but it was not coming together. So I ditched the card and started work on my new art journal.  I wanted  a new  journal since the one I have now is just too small. I have lots of  composition books laying around so I decided to use one of those and just decorate the cover.

I used 3 layers of Gesso on the front cover. Then painted it in a lovely turquoise colour. The butterfly was painted using watercolour paints on watercolour paper.  I cut it out and glued  it on to the cover. I stamped the sentiment straight on the painted surface and used white embossing powder and heat set it. The stamp is from Unity called Becoming A Butterfly. I punched some white butterflies and sprinkled them around the page to finish.

I hope you like my journal :)

Unity Friends with Flair

 

Hello Friends!

I hope you have all had a wonderful week :) Here is my Friends with Flair entry for this week. I used a white, gray and turquoise colour scheme, it was based on the tag I made a few months ago you can see it HERE.  I wanted to make a card version this time and add some more detail to it.  I used feel the joy stamp for the flowers, the sentiment is from the  Every Breath stamp  set and the butterfly is from A Friend Loveth stamp set.  I embossed some of the flowers with white embossing powder and left some with just a water mark using VersaMark ink. I really like the effect it creates.  I hope you enjoy my card :)

Are you all ready for Christmas??  I wish I could say I am but I am not.  I was meant to fly to Scotland last weekend but got sick with a horrible virus. So we  had to cancel our flights and rebook we now leave this Sunday yay :)  I need to run out tomorrow and get some last minute presents and re pack everything.  Have a good Christmas when it comes around :) Thanks for visiting :) 

Aqua Blossom

Happy Friday Crafting Friends :) 

It's time for friends with flair over at the Unity Blog. I love seeing all the creations on Friday's :)

Here is this weeks entry,  I used the Angie girl: Dream with your Heart kit and the Happy Birthday sentiment. Can you tell I love embossing powder? It is very addictive :) I sponged the card with ColorBox Aqua ink and stamped the smaller flowers with VersaMark ink then embossed it in white. I stamped the larger flowers on to vellum and embossed them also. Then glued them around the edge of the inked section.

  

Hope you like my card :) This will probably be my last post for a while I am flying home to Scotland tomorrow for Christmas. So  I won't get a chance to make anything unless I take some supplies on the plane - which I  might :)  Thanks for visiting have a great weekend :) 

Misty Meadow

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving :) I have been playing around my my Donna Downey stamps this last past week. I LOVE them there is so much you can do with them I wish I had got this set sooner :)  Here is one the cards I created using 2 different embossing powders. I like the kind of  misty look that was left behind using them. I  love using embossing powders especially the metallic ones as they really make the images pop.

Friday Tag at Unity

Day 5 of my tag making I must admit I have enjoyed making tags.  I never thought I would since I have been strictly a card girl :) Today I went with flowers and butterflies I had to get them in there somewhere :) Feel the Joy and A Friend Loveth Itty Bittys were used in today's tag. 

 

I used a piece of coloured card stock and cut out a tag shape. I stamped the flowers with versamark ink then added white embossing powder and set it with the heat gun. I did the same thing with the small butterfly and then cut it out and glued just the body on the tag and curled the wings to give it some dimension. I then went around the whole tag with white pigment ink to give it a border then very lighty sponged over the top. I then added some bling to the little butterfly and some white ribbon to finish it off  :) 

 

Happy Friday
