Sailor Edwin ...

---

Today I have one of the lovely Magnolia stamps, sailor Edwin. Thought I would make a port hole complete with brads and some acetate. It is not a shaker card but I have put some liquid embossing on the inside to represent splashes of water! Edwin has also been decoupaged so that there is more definition of him hanging off the anchor. Backing paper was from my stash and the sentiment was from TLC. I have used netting again along with some Magnolia shell stamps. The starfish is a stamp from Panduro, I think it came as part of a set many moons ago. You won't be able to see very well but I have also included some pearls in with the netting & the shells. Coloured using the wonderful Promarkers as always.

Thanks for looking, please don't be shy and leave a message. Enjoy the rest of this glorious bank holiday weather & I hope to be back later this week with some more creations.

Take care, happy crafting, Jane x

Hanglar ...

---

Today I have been playing with this lovely Hanglar image, soooo adorable. I coloured the image using Promarkers first (which I don't usually do) and then matched the papers. I am rather pleased on two counts, firstly its the dreaded 'mans' card and that I managed without flowers! The brads are Papermania, backing paper was a free download I think. Netting from Trago Mills, rafia from my local garden centre. Button & staples from stash. The sentiment was a freebie from a mag but can't remember which one at this point so I will update if I manage to find out later! 'Gone Fishing' is computer generated.

Japanese Tilda ...

---

The new release of Magnolia, Bon Voyage Collection is as adorable as ever. This particular one is amongst my favourites from the new collection. Yet to play with my other new stamps from the release, I don't know where the time goes, sooo many goodies with soooo little time!

---

Anyway onto the card, Anitas square white card blank, Japanese Tilda (obviously) coloured using Promarkers onto Rymans white card stock. I have also used a gold gel pen to colour the flowers on her dress but that is not all that clear on the picture. Stickles glitter for the flowers Tilda is holding.

---

I have also yet again, becoming a habit I think hand stitched the branches in black. Anitas red gems, flowers are die cut from the Quickutz, I believe the die is flower doodads? Red backing card & cream pearlised cardstock (has a lovely shimmer but I couldn't get a clear shot) from Payperbox at my local craft stockist. That butterfly punch again, black ribbon from Wild Orchid Crafts and finally sentiment is CG.

Daughter ...

---

Today my daughter became a teenager and yes I know this card is not very teenagerish but I won this digi stamp earlier this year and my daughter just loved it, hence the card. It is a combo of an easel and shaker card containing fairy dust. I hand stitched the sentiment and used the fab My Minds Eye papers free in a magazine recently. As the card was bulking I made a matching box using I think a free digi stamp from the world wide web (if you know whos I will link it here)? Coloured using Promakers, flowers, ribbon & pin again from Wild Orchid Crafts, butterflies cut using the MM Slice. Martha Stewart branch punch, the rest of the goodies from my craft stash. She was really delighted and has had a wonderful day, out for dinner and tomorrow we are hitting the shops!
