Tim Holtz - Perspective

Hello again lovelies!

I've used an emboss resist background for this giant butterfly, the colours I've used are Antique Linen and Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink. In the background I used Hero Arts Leafy Vine and Script stamps.

Thank you for visiting and all your lovely comments! Xxxx

Mermaid Lagoon Distress Spray

Hello blogsters!

Couldn't resist a play with the new Mermaid Lagoon Distress Spray, it had to be a seaside theme didn't it?!

I gessoed a piece of cardboard then rubbed over with a Neocolour crayon and went over with a wet paintbrush to paint the background. Next I dribbled some glue from a hot glue gun (thanks Eileen Godwin and Contadina K!) to make wave patterns. I turned the card on its side and sprayed the Mermaid Lagoon and let it trickle through the glue. Next I stamped the lovely Spiral Shell from Designs By Ryn and coloured them. A sprinkle of Antique Linen distress EP, a few shells and my beach is done! Don't you just love that new Distress colour??

Thanks for visiting! Xxx

I've teamed Ryn's lovely Gingko stencil with a 20's lady and 'feminine' word stamp. It took many attempts to make this card without smudging the ink!! The Gingko stencil is available from www.designsbyryn.com.

I'm so lucky to be on Ryn's design team, and I'm eagerly awaiting the new designs so I can get started on some samples!

While I've been waiting, I had a little play with Ryn's Lace stamp, it makes a fabulous textural background. Of course you are all familiar with Ryn's beautiful droplets by now! The Poppy stamp and die are both from Penny Black. I hope you like the card, thank you so much for all the lovely comments left for me recently, and a big welcome to my latest followers!

Spring tag!

Hello peeps!

It's been such a lovely day today, a real feel of spring in the air! This tag has been a long time in the making, I first made the emboss resist background weeks ago but didn't know what to put on it. I bought Tim Holtz's Spring Greenery die this week and added some of his tiny Tattered Florals flowers to turn this into a Spring-inspired tag. Hope you like it!

 

Thank you for visiting, big crafty hugs! Xxx
