Happy Fathers Day ...

My new love are the Spellbinders Brush dies, suitable for all and look stunning.  Realised that I hadn't blogged this one, really effective I think. There are a few brush die collections; Artful Tulip (this one), Paint Your World Artful Brush, Painted Blooms & Butterfly Burst.  You can also get some sentiments which match up perfectly.  So blue mat, hand stitched, CG sentiment, brush handles were from scrap card, the rest were cut out of white Neenah and coloured with Promarkers.  A few glossy accents to finish, although I think they are so old they have become discoloured so added a new bottle to my list.

Thank you once again for popping by my little old blog today, Jane 

 

you're fintastic ...

Hello, I am still here card making, I can share a few recent makes with you all now.  I just neeeeeded this gorgeous Calming Koi Die & Stamp set and the Water Builder Stencil both from Altenew, simply stunning. Coloured with my favourite medium Promarkers.  Spellbinders Striped embossing folder.  I wanted to use one of my all time favourite techniques for the inside, the acetate spiral and have the little fishes swimming around.  

Thank you for still popping by to see me, especially as I don't post as much as I should, I really appreciate it.

Happy Christmas followers, stay safe love Jane

 

Pink Christmas ...

CAS today, adore these flamingos from The Lovely Studio (formally Pink Petticoat), no longer available 

:( an oldie dug out but adorable don't you think.  Coloured with Promarkers, add a little bit of sparkle & some thread and hey presto, gorgeous.

Merry Christmas :) Jane

Especially for you ...

 

Managed to get my hands on the lovely Calming Koi dies & stamps along with the  water builder stencil from Altenew.  First attempt but I am really pleased with this one, certainly a few more to be made for my stash. 

Super easy to construct the little fishes, coloured with Promarkers and the stencil looks amazing don't you think. I used TH distress inks; Tumbled Glass & Salty Ocean.  My first attempt but definitely going to play around with this.  So a DL card blank, strip of Sizzix cardstock and sentiment created on the WRMK Foil quill.

Bye for now Jane 

Get Well Soon ...

Had this little lady for a while, so adorable.  Coloured with Promarkers, sentiment included and a few sequins for a bit of sparkle, who doesn't love sparkle.

Happy crafting Jane x

on our Anniversary ...

Today I have created an anniversary card using the Sizzix Painted Birds, something a little bit different I thought.  So I cut them out of white card stock and coloured them using Promarkers, WRMK gold foiling, Sizzix Surfacez card and the leaves are from a Doohickey box.

Jane

Birthday FISHES ...

Second post today, I am on a roll ha ha :)

Looks clean & simple but took a wee while to cut out on my Silhouette to make all the shaker layers!  So gorgeous new stamps from My Favourite Things titled Gillfriends.  Plenty of little fishes to choose from and some fab sentiments included too.

The two main fish are stamped and coloured with Promarkers on the inside, the other fishes have been stuck inside the shaker along with some clear cup sequins.  Recycled ribbon, charm and a stand to finish it off.
