Shabby Chic Butterfly

Hello on this wet rainy day.

My lad went back to School yesterday.  His first year in Juniors.  The years are just flying by....

Here is a Shabby Chic card that I enjoyed making.

I have stamped the butterfly onto plain paper and coloured in with promarkers.  I then stamped it again onto acetate and glued the centre of it onto the first stamped image.  This butterfly is part of a three set by Papermania Urban stamps.

The papers are Prima.

The cameo, flowers and lace are all from my stash.

Thank you for looking.

Big Hugs

Hi there,

Hope you are having a nice weekend!

This card has a really sweet stamped image called Worried by Kathy Hare.  It reminds me of my son Brandon who still at age 7 loves his teddy.  He too has floppy brown hair.

I have coloured the image in with promarkers and I used black card to bring the image and papers up nicely.

Im sorry, but I can't remember where I got these particular backing papers from.  The stars are a sizzix bigz die and everything else is sourced from my stash.

Thanks so much for looking :0) Michelle

Love Letter

Hi there,

Here is a card I would like to share.

She is a favourite stamp of mine from Elisabeth Bell called Love Letter.  I have coloured her in with pro markers.  The backing papers are Pink Petticoat.
The fence and Bird House are a wood chip piece from Hobby Craft and I have just inked it gently with white, green and brown inks.  The flowers and pearls are from my stash.
The sentiment is an LOTV sentiment stamp.

Thank you so much for looking :0) Michelle

A Dino & His Cupcake






Hi there,
Hope you are all well.
This Dinosaur is from Wild Rose Studio and I love him.  I don't use him nearly enough.  He is coloured in with pro-markers.  (I can also make him a she if I chose too lol).
I have paper pieced the case and cherry on the cupcake with some of the paper used on the backing.  The papers came with my magazine.
This stars are a Sizzix Bigz die and everything else was just in my stash.
Thank you so much for looking.

The little image is from a set of stamps from Crafts Beautiful (puchased some time ago.)  I have coloured in with my pro-markers.

The papers are Echo Park and the rest is just from my stash.
