Orange and green with scruffy little cat

Hello there, yes I am back again.. I had quite a few cards I'd made last week and was unavailable to show you lovely people last week, so thought I would let you see what I've created. Earlier in the year I manage to purchase this Scruffy little cat stamp in the Crafters Companion sale, but had not had the chance to play with it..so when I came up with this design, this stamp was simply perfect.

Do head over to Crafters Companion website and take a look at their marvellous goodies, they do have regular offers and discounts throughout the year and worth visit.  

The image was coloured in using Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and these are the colours I used -

Skin FS2 FS3 FS4 - Cheek FS6 - Hair  CG1 CG2 CG3 DG2 DG4 - Shadows IG2 IG3 - Socks CG2 CG3 - Eyelashes / teddy OR1 OR2 OR3

Using the free papers from Making cards magazine, I paper pieced Pixie's top to match the pattern paper in the background, To pull the whole design together and match completely.

Card is 29.2cm x 10.2cm folded at the top

Hello there, I hope you are all well and you're having lovely day? Well some of my regular followers may have notice that I've not been bring you many posts lately. 

Well with one thing and other and to cut along story straight I have been a little under the weather and did lose a bit of my crafty mojo. When your not feeling yourself this happens doesn't it?

Yesterday I managed to get some decent quality crafty time in and decided where better to start, to use my lovely Clearly besotted stamps...I am totally and utterly besotted with this amazing stamp company. Stephanie Wincott and her sister Jenny run this small family business in UK and they create these amazingly beautiful stamps, all their stamps are high quality clear photopolymer stamps and would highly recommend this company to anyone.

Clean and Simple is something I have really fell for over recent months and yes clean and simple sounds quite easy..I know!! but it can take a little bit of practice to get it just right. Well I've totally enjoyed every minute of this creation and enjoyed the stamping too. It as brought back my crafty mojo back and hope I will be bringing you lots more ideas very soon.

Growing up fast and 10 already

Hello there, yes I am back again and I quite cant believe myself but I have been busy creating a special card for friends granddaughter who's birthday is next month. I do like to get prepared early so I decided to get cracking on with it.

The little girl in question is 10 this year (doesn't time fly) ,really I should say mini young lady as she is growing up so fast and is turning into bonny young lady. With that note I thought I would make her a card that fits her and not go down the babyish route. 

I recently purchased the Making cards magazine and see these free papers and decide this would suit her to the tee. 

I so hope she likes this creation as I have worked so hard to pick a design that would suit her, I will let you know how she likes it next month.
