New Art Cards

Hello my little lovelies

I thought I'd let you all see my new art card.

I have just made this for a friends birthday.

I had great fun making this, I am going to make a few more and put them in my etsy store, will show you all when they are made.

Still just about finding enough crafting time to keep me sane!!!!!

Your Returning

Hello all,

I have been busy creating, when I've got a chance with baby Bobby demanding my constant attention LOL. 

 I have just made a small canvas for my mother, 

using a image of my late Grandfather in his early days.

 I have also used some vintage paper, it has given the overall image a sepia coloured look.

I am also going to make her one incorporating an image of my Grandmother

What lovely spring weather we are having, makes me feel full of creativity, just designing a new batch of cards!

Lace ATC swap at the altered page

Hi All

well have managed to get my ATC made for the lace swap at

the altered page,
http://thealteredpaper.blogspot.com/p/lace-atc-swap.html 

My partner is Tee

I used a lace look deco patch paper for my background and added some lace to the bottom of the ATC, I had an image of a girl in lace which I printed on velum.  I added buttons and a key, and some contrasting blue butterfly wings

I hope you like it Tee, it's on it's way!!!

Gingersnap challenge : GC136 glorious greens and do you stack up: anything goes

Hi Bloggers, what a horrible day we are having here today in Cornwall, just the kind of day to sit by the wood burner and craft !

Gingersnap challenge : Gc136 glorious greens

I have also entered it into the challenge : anything goes at

Here it is!

I made a capsule to place on the green background paper, and tore up a postcard printout I had, I used walnut distress ink to give the card and torn papers a aged look.

I used a moth from one of Tim Holz sticker books, and then covered this in glossy Accent.  I had a key brad that I added and also the translucent green heart.

For the lettering I dyed a newspaper with tea and tore out letters.

I added the green mica beads for added interest.

I hope you like it !

Oh by the way the card that I was going to show you all has been mislaid among my crafting kayos, some might say Junk :)

I'm sure it will show itself one day !

My treat for card making

Well here are the items that I bought for my card and Aceo making, looking forward to getting started, just need baby Bobby to give me a chance!

These are some new Deco patch papers, I will be using these for backgrounds on my tags and Atc's

I bought this fab bird file, I thought it would be perfect for storing my favourite papers in!

I also bought this Tim Holtz paper book and these great brads, which are lots of little tools, these stamps from paper Artsy will come in useful for my card making and artwork.
