third card for the challenge buttons and bows

This last card I used Paper Artsy Stamp. I used Joanna Sheen paper for the background and stamped imaged onto card.  I  coloured the tree with promarkers  and  aqua  markers.   I  embellished the tree with small yellow buttons and before placing on decorative paper I  rouged  ribbon  on the edge of the card.  I do like this effect, I think I might use this technique again!
I do hope you liked my cards for this challenge and inspired you to be creative in using ribbon instead of paper.

second card to the challenge

I loved making this card,  I made my background using 2 different coloured ribbon and made a lattice background to give me a beautiful affect.  It took a long time but I think the results are worth it it.  An other stamped image and coloured in with promarkers and glittered using copic pens.  More buttons were used to embellish the bottom of the card while I added feathers, ribbon, diamante stems and a hat pin, secured with a button in the centre.

buttons and bows

My challenge for that craft place was buttons and bows.
well it was a nice change as Christmas is now over and I don't want to see anything to do with Christmas!!
so here are my cards that i made for my contribution to the design team.
I used a really beautiful stamp from Bildmalarna.  I stamped and coloured in with promarkers and then high lighted areas with copic sparkle pens.  I used different shades and size of pink ribbon to make a flower and stuck a pink button in the centre. Then made the card into an easel card.  I hope you like my creation

a special card

this card was made for a really special friend.  it's was for her grandson which he no longer with us.  it was made with love and care as it was for a special person "his daddy",

hope you like it.

Sweet Treats in Pastels

Well here comes the next challenge.  I spent a spell in hospital so there was no crafting for me for a while, but then I thought there's no reason why I can't do cross stich!  so one of the cards i have cross stitch and some cup cakes that have been stamped and chalked with pearl paint and glitter on the top.

The pink card was stamped and embossed and then decoupaged.  Decorative pins were inserted through the ribbon to make it look pretty.

Finally the last one, the little fairy has a cup cake on her head which i decorated with pearl paint.  Lovely ribbon was added to match and tie in all the colours.

An other lovely challange.



thank you Lisa xx

challange 2

Lisa asked me to make some samples using the lovely Vilda stamps, and guess what?  only Lisa sells them so have a look as they are lovely to stamp with.
Here are some samples I made using this lovely stamp.



The first picture I stamped the lovely image and placed it on a base of hearts,  I decided to improvise and use cinnamon sticks wrapped up with twine and glittered wire instead of using other wooden materials.
The second card I used the lovely Anna Griffin paper and also decorated the inside to match.
The blue card was my favourite, I used a doily which I glittered and then used a flourish to embellish the card, and of course I used twine again which is one of my favourite decorative items.  All the cards were coloured with promarkers. 
I do hope you like the cards.

Design Team



I've been lucky to be asked to be in "That Craft Place" design team.  I'm so pleased as i can get my creative ideas onto paper.

Lisa stocks so many lovely things that it would be worth while having a look in her Aladdin's cave as I'm sure you will find something yummy.

the above cards are from Lisa's sketch which I used the lovely Molly Bloom stamps, they have been coloured in with a mixture of copic's and the lovey promarkers. Lisa also has a great collection of her stamps too!
