a place where I can lose myself in crafts and all things hand made,my favorite colours are all shades of lilac to purple and old lace reminds me of victoriana with tea shops and old fashioned cake stands

in the garden
this card is for a little boy,the papers are kameo cards,the image is H&S,and the scroll is done with jewel templates from brazzill basics papers, you put the template on the paper and draw spots in the holes of the design then it suggests that you put jewels on each of the spots but I didnt have any so I used liquid pearls

Hand drawn by matt

magnolia challenge
its another easel card this time for a challenge over at magnolia,I wanted to do a sepia toned card with my cooking little tilda's so coloured two to see which I liked the best but oh dear I liked them both maybe I went a bit over the top still its to late now
little miss Anya
well I tried copics, and I did like them but I think I like my distress inks better so before I spend any more money on pens I am going back to them, this card is done with distress inks, some papers from stamping up, the stamp is miss Anya I added a bit of gloss to her boots I wanted to try making the flowers look as if they had been water coloured and also match my colouring they were punched with EK success
