Ladies tea set

Well I thought I would try something different (I get bored doing the same things lol!) I brought this box at Alley Palley and don't ask me why, I picked it up the other day and thought, "I know I will alter a tea set to go inside along with a little cute book"! Where do I get these ideas?? Anyway, I used paints to alter the set, and added some embellishments. For the box I colour washed it and added a paper top from DCWV, I then stamped the bottom edge of the box and added some embellishments to it. I used very thick chipboard for the book, some crafty individuals papers and ribbon. I must stay I am very happy with the result. xx

Sunday Stamper - Sisters

Sisters is the theme this week for the Sunday Stampers. I love using canvas so I decided to go with that this week. I prepared the canvas with Gesso and then coloured the background with light green ink. I stamped over the canvas with Olive Green stazon ink. I have used stampboard for the image, I love this stamp!!!, I coloured the stampboard in light green and stamped the image with Versamark ink. I scratched out some parts of the image. I then mounted the image on to the canvas and used some chipboard letters along the side. I finished with some crackle paint on the corners.

Canvas stamped painting

Well I have had a set of stamps since Alley Palley and I have been waiting to create something with them. First of all I covered a canvas using gesso and I then started to stamp, building up the picture I wanted. I blended in the inks to make the overall picture look hazy. I have to say I love the result!! I just hope you can see well enough in the pictures.

40th Birthday card

As you may know my Sister was 40 on 17th May. I made this card for her because I knew it would make her laugh! I love this stamp!!!

A birthday card for my Nephew

It was my Nephew John's birthday on 19th May. I thought I'd try something different.

Baptism Cards

Two of my Nephews were baptised at Canterbury Cathedral on Sunday 18th May. Me and Darren were god parents. These are the cards I made for them. I think the decoupage is so cute!

First Wedding Anniversary card

It was my best friends 1st wedding anniversary this month so I wanted something special. Thankfully she loved it! I have used some fabby papers from DCWV and some embellishments. The "1st Anniversary" wording is cut out using my new cricut :-)

Sunday Stamper - Cats

Its a cats theme for Hels Angels Sunday Stamper this week. I have made a card. The stamped image is one of my favourites, I have used Adirondack ink pads (the ones with 4 colours in it). I then used chalks to blend the background. I then finished off with some grungeboard wings and a heart. The card stock it from crafty individuals.

Alice in Wonderland Arrow Altered Book

I have used papers, paints, stazon for the images and embossing powder for the edges. I have also coloured in some grunge board to add as embellishments.

Sunday Stamper - Boys

I made two items for this weeks Sunday Stamper. The theme was Boys, I made an ATC I used different ink pads and a background stamp. I then stamped the image using TH inks.

The second Item was a card (I'll be using this for my FIL birthday), I used TH inks to ink up background papers and Versafine inks for the images. Added a few buttons and there we have it!

A card for my Mum's retirement

I made this card for my Mum's retirement. I love this stamp!! I have clear embossed the image and used a brad to finish it off. I like the waterfall effect card and just love using ribbon.

Mum loved it! xx

Sunday Stamper - Words

This week I thought I would try something a little different and something not so different! So I made two pieces for the Sunday Stamper which theme was words.

An ATC to start with, I have stamped and embossed with clear and gold powders and used the word "Time".

Secondly I have altered and miniature cup and saucer, I have used the word "Art" embossed in gold, it's a little hard to see from the picture and I have covered the cup and saucer in paints then embellished with gems and mini grungeboard. I am quite pleased with the results.

Sunday stamper - Faces

After receiving a stunning, beautiful canvas from Hels for my birthday I decided to make a canvas for myself (one of those things you mean to get round to but never do!) and base it on the Sunday Stamper theme. It was certainly inspired by Hels but no where as stunning as hers! I loved doing it however and enjoyed getting inky and messy!! I have used all sorts of mediums, hope you like it. By the way its stamping mixed with a few beautiful papers!

Sunday Stamper - Travel and transport

I was over the moon to have this challenge as I had to do a card for Darren's birthday. I have used moon glow sprays to make the background paper which I have torn and inked and wrapped around a white card. I used the moon glows on the tag too. I then stamp a TH car image on to the tag and added some words. Hope he likes it xx
