STAMP WITH FUN AND CUTE DAISY MAY....

Well yet another weeks rolled round and time for me to share two DT cards with you....firstly for Stamp With Fun where this week there's a sketch to follow by Maria Bell,and i must say a lovely sketch too,thank you Maria.I've used Sarah Kay "Can I Tell You A Secret?" coloured with Copics and Prisma's,cut out and 3d'd using silicone gel onto oval nesties which is also raised using dimensional tape.The papers are all K&Co "Hopscotch" and have all been distressed around the edges with "Peeled Paint" distressing ink.The flowers are Prima and Papermania.The sentiment which as been cut out using Spellbinders Double Ended Tags is by MFT.The corner was done using a Ek Success corner punch,ribbon,buttons and adhesive pearls all from stash.

You can see in the close up that i've changed his flowers,i messed up when cutting the image out so i punched some really tiny flowers from a Dovecraft border punch,i like the effect,something i wouldn't have done if i'd have cut the flowers out perfectly,i suppose a happy accident!

STAMP WITH STAMPAVIE....VINTAGE

Another week at Stamp With Stampavie and this week the theme is "Vintage",hope you will all come and join in,but we do understand how pushed everyone is for time,thanks to everyone who played along with us last week.

For my card i've used Sarah Kay "Christmas Magic",i thought this was the right stamp for the vintage theme,no colouring,i just wanted to leave it as the stamped outline.I've created a photo frame around the image and put some acetate into it,this isn't showing to good in the photo.

All the papers,sentiment and holly embellishments are Anna Griffin.

Tassel from Joanna Sheen.

I'm not really happy with this card,i've not been interested in my craft this last week or two,i've had alot on my mind and somehow haven't been able to summon up any enthusiasm,normally i craft to take my mind off things,but haven't been able to some how.

Sorry for not visiting your Blogs lately,but will try to over the next few days.

Take care and have a lovely day,

STAMP WITH STAMPAVIE.....A STAR

This week at Stamp With Stampavie our theme is "A Star",now it's up to what you make....a card,or Christmas decoration etc ,so long as you use a star shape.Check out the DT examples if you need alittle inspiration.

I went the easy route and made a decoration,times precious at the moment,what with Christmas and other things life's throwing at me at the minute.....oh well i keep telling myself it's the same for everyone.

The main star shape of the decoration was printed from a Joanna Sheen CD "Enchanted Christmas",the stamp i used is a SK "Christmas Magic",coloured with Promarkers and Prisma's and a touch of glitter,cut out using my nesties on the Wizard.

It's double sided with a sentiment on the reverse,the stamp is a WOJ,from the sentiment set "Christmas Wishes".

Before adhering the two sides together i sandwiched a tassel with loop in between,i used silicone glue so that the decoration is not completly flat.

I would like to than everyone who joinned in with us last week,and i hope to see you all again this week.

Sorry i haven't been visiting your Blogs for a few days,life as i said as been alittle hectic,but i'll

try my best to visit tonight,so get the kettle on.....lol

Take care,and hope you all have a lovely day...
