Koi ...

 Absolutely no credit taken here today except from the genes,  as this is a little pressie from my talented Daughter.  Koi painted onto a wood slice and now very very proudly displayed in my studio.  I just love it. Show and tell, well boast and brag over, thank you for popping by my blog today.

With love at Christmas ...

Well today is a month long challenge over on the 

Joanna Sheen Challenge Blog

titled 'With Love at Christmas'

and I could not resist the new House Mouse Christmas Project Book!

This is my first 8x8 card, perfect for these pesky little mice.

The inside to match.

Finally a close up of the decoupage.

I printed my decoupage onto Elegance Satin cardstock because I wanted to

make my little cuties pop by colouring them with my Promarkers.

I have used the main image, inside image and papers from three different

projects in the book so you can see they really mix and match well.

I have also used ribbon, charms, snow, mirri, star, sentiment and red cardstock.

Card blank and plenty of hand stitching!

As the challenge will last for a month the winner will receive

a £ 30 Joanna Sheen gift voucher.

I hope you can come and play along with us?

Thanks for popping by, love x

So Sweet ...

Today over at Passion for Promarkers the challenge title is 

'Glitter & Pastels' and I just couldn't resist inking up this gorgeous Tilda

with some sparkly wings!
 I have cut out some hexagon shapes, mounted then stitched to represent
honeycomb along with some dry embossing too.

Happy Birthday to a Special Guy ...

I made this for my baby (he turned 20 last month) he doesn't mind a cute card, bless him!

Purchased Edwin from the last release of Magnolia stamps and he was my 

favourite of the entire collection. I have seen a few sneak peaks of the next Magnolia collection

and I really NEED some.

Anyways, I decided to cut away the front of this card to create the clouds which

I have done this freehand.  The inside back of the card is the sky complete with

a sun which I cut out with my Slice.  Distressing the clouds with TH inks really adds depth.

Coloured with Promarkers, completely hand stitched once again, 

sound like a  record, sorry.

Some Kraft card from my stash, fence die & bunting die.

Garden twine from my shed :)

Grass hand cut, really must invest in a die, me thinks.

The sentiment is from a set from Tickled Pink stamps which is not 

I believe available anymore?
