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

Easter Gift

I saw this with a card made in the same colours and image and a bar of chocolate I liked the idea,my grandchildren are  avid readers and have asked for books for easter,so I thought these loooked nicer than a plain bar

Hand drawn by matt


my son came over for the weekend and was doodling, this is one of his little drawings, I wish he had done it in pen as you cant see the image to well, but I thought it was to nice to waste, so I made a card with it

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
