Making tags using hand carved stamps

Hey all!
I have been having fun making tags using some of the hand carved stamps that I had made a while ago.

some of the stamps are really tiny and extremely simple and I have managed to make some fab backgrounds with them.
I added some free digi flowers which I  downloaded and coloured with copics, some gemstones, some charms, handmade paper flowers,foam letters( from EK success), feathers, buttons, brads and twine for extra pop!

I am submitting this card for the Color Q challenge.

Hope you have had fun reading this post!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a good night!

Unrepeatable

It is 2 am and as I often tell people...I have no control over when an idea strikes!!

I went to bed a couple of hours ago, and then got this bright idea for a this card...and I had to get up and make it!

I have combined three challenges for this card...

The runway inspired challenge, the Addicted to CAS cue word Teenager challenge and the clean and Simple FTL 245 challenge.

The image is from  My Favourite things ' You are Unrepeatable' stamp set. 

The other stamp sets that I have used are from Stampabilities, Paper smooches 'Vogue Abode' and Hero Arts Design blocks (in white on the shirt).

The shirt, I have stamped with Brilliance white archival ink on  pink handmade paper and paper pieced it. 

As for the pants I stamped on green handmade paper, fussy cut them, embossed them with a cuttlebug folder  to add texture and paper pieced it onto the the image.

The Ipod is coloured with copic markers.

I coloured  the hair with Faber Castell colour pencils in shades of brown.

I stamped the shadow (in Versafine smokey gray ink) from the Paper Smooches 'vogue abode' stamp set, to ground my image.

Really love the way it has turned out...don't you!

Love to hear what you think!

I am also entering it for the Simon Says Stamp 'Anything Goes' challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Good night!

Keep Calm...

Hello all!

I made a card today for the CAS-ual Friday Over the Edge challenge and Fusion Card Challenge. 

For this card I used the Comfy armchair free digistamp from Jane's Doodles and I thought the sentiment from Technique tuesday's 'Eat chocolate' stamp set was perfect for this image.

I printed out the image onto white cardstock and coloured it using my copic markers. I then fussy cut the chair and adhered it 'over the edge' of the card. 

The beautiful background stamp is from Hero Arts and the woodgrain stamp is from Stampin' Up.

Inks, as always, are from Memento...teal zeal, summer sky and rich cocoa.

Thanks so very much for stopping by!

Have a great evening!

Waterfall cards

I recently made a set of waterfall cards (tutorial) for my son's hindi teacher..Oh! I had so much fun making them...I think you can see that in the cards. Here is a collage of the cards I made.

The stamps I used are from Stampendous, Fiskars, Hero Arts and mft stamps, stamped with Memento and Versafine inks and coloured with copics and watercolours.

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy!

SOME NEW BIRTHDAY CARDS

I sent off a few birthday cards this month. Here they are.

For the first and second card, I was inspired by an card I saw on Etsy. A new twist to my photocards!
The first card, I made for a teenage girl, who is not too girly and who's mum makes amazing cakes for her birthday every year! The photos on the card of a pastry which I had taken a while ago.
All Sentiment stamps are from Hero Arts and Stampendous.

My friend insisted that I should make her a watercolour card...so here is what I made.

For her 8 year old boy, I made this fun Garfield pop up card. She said he loved it!

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy!
