Pearlescent Dragonfly Wishes

I have missed making my "busy" creations and this textured card was a lot of fun to do...

Mounted on a bright blue card base - the EF was imprinted years ago - borrowed from a friend - I imprinted quite a few snippets of card stock for when I wanted this image. 

I used makeup brushes with SU inks: taken with teal, pacific point, wisteria wonder & bashful blue.

SU Dragonfly dreams dies, Wishes sentiment is Creative Expressions die. 

The 3 dies inked with Dew Drop Brilliance - pearlescent lavendar  - then gone over with 

chromeoxide green fiery faber castell pencil.

All put together with foam dots - well actually I cut up the sheets the dots come in - no waste 😀

Hee Haw Birthday

 My baby turns 25 tomorrow...

This may seem like a jokey card - but my girl just loved the Stampin Up stamp set when she saw it as it reminds her of a donkey song she heard. Pink & Black are her favourite colours so the window frame from a left over card snippet (from a previous card) was perfect - the pink and colouring of the donkeys with Chameleon pens.  All mounted on a snippet of cream card then onto a square white card.

I just know she will love it.

I am entering into NBUS challenge #24 as I have not used the stamps before.

Stay safe & well all

Green Enjoy

A really quick card to brighten someone's day...

 I used Japanese rice paper which has gold throughout purchased a very long time ago, mounted it onto a piece of card using craft glue spread with a popstick to get it even. Let that dry and then mounted onto a light green card base.

Cut a label using Paper Rose Die - and stamped with a Mama Elephant sentiment in bright green ink.

I used a versa cube gold ink around the edges of the label as a highlight.

Koala Love

Got some really lovely Heartfelt Creations Stamps the other month - using one for the first time...

Cream card stock - I stamped the Koala on a cream mini card front and coloured it with Derwent watercolour pencils and blended with water. attached it to a snippet of Gum Leaf Green card.

The sentiment is Mama Elephant (A gift from my sister Cathy @ Cathy's Card Spot) 

Open up the mini card and the sentiment is a stamp free from a magazine.

Cutout Floral Birthday

Dies make things so quick and easy - adding just a tinge of colour and Voila!! 

I have been buying dies from wish - I just cannot help myself - they are so tempting and pretty!
But there is no branding so I cant identify them and have to mark them all as Unknown...

This one is a floral side cutout which I have coloured with pink & yellow The Happy Birthday die - unknown also.
