Rain!!

Rain!!

Here is my card for this week. Yes, I know I have used the gorgeous Sun Kiss papers from Prima again this week but I think they are my favourite at the moment!! They remind me that even with all the rain we have been having, that beautiful things appear because of it! And there is nothing quite as nice as seeing a line of sunflowers in full bloom. And these papers are perfect with this adorable stamp from Stamping Bella. This is Lolly and her Brolly...... how cute is she!! I tinted the edges of all the papers with the Antique Linen distress ink..

Why not visit the store and see all the new 'inky' goodies Kitty has arriving all the time. The are alsorts coming in along with the things we all know and love like the die-namics etc!!

Fairytales

Please remember New work only and no backlinking!

You have till 8pm Tuesday 15th May to get your entrys in!

Here is my inspiration card for you.

I decided on 'The Little Mermaid' after seeing the AMAZING new collection of digital images from Make it Crafty.

Not only do they offer individual elements but also pre made pictures ready to print and colour, of which this is one.

I am totally in love with these so don't be surprised if mermaids don't keep popping up all over my blog and FB page!!!

The seaweed is also made from MIC chipboards. 

I have used a combination of promarkers, fleximarkers and copics to colour this.

The seaweed also had a few squirts of Glimmer Mist.

Please let me know what you think and don't forget to enter!!!!!

Daisy Daisy

Daisy, Daisy........

I hope you all had a wonderful bank holiday weekend...... My father in law is still in hospital over 3 hours away so Graham has gone back up there to try and get things sorted for when he comes out.... everything is really up in the air and we don't know if we are coming or going right now!!

Thank heavens I have a hobby to keep me busy!!

Today I am showing you the gorgeous Daisy Mae from Kraftin Kimmie.

I have used the beautiful new paper pad from Prima called Sun Kiss. I fussy cut 3 butterflies out of another sheet from the pad and just fixed them down the 'body' leaving the wings free to give a sense of dimension. The web ribbon and bow also helped with this. My good old faithfull Oval Stax dies from Die-namics came in very handy again for matting and layering the image and sentiment. Two gold corners and 3 gold pearls finihed off the card.

I used my copics to colour this image and of course Kitty also has them in store too!!!

Have a great day whatever you are up to.

Take care

Rose - My mum's Craft Shop Inspiration



Today I am bringing you Rose from Kraftin Kimmie. She is now avaiable in store along with all her flower friends and the new Wizard of Oz collection aswell.

I decided to go with a muted, kinda vintage feel with this card and so chose colours and papers to suit this. These papers are from Romantic by Prima, I have also used some plain papers that I had floating around in my stash...... I edged everything with either Tattered Rose or Walnut Stain distress inks. The dies I have used are the good old Nesabilities labels 4 and Die-namices oval stax 1.

I created the bouquet using 4 different styles of flowers, all available in store and finished it off with a length of antique rose seam binding. The lace, dragonfly and sentiment are all things I am sure most of us have hiding away in amoungst everything!!

Have a wonderful day and see you next week xxxx
