 doing a bit of colouring today and trying to make my card male friendly....

This is Tall Tree Gnome from woodware designed by Francoise Read...a bit of fun

Water colouring fun....

 I have treated myself to a set of Kuretake clean colour pens my goodness how good are they.....I just wish I had found them sooner......

I admit that I am not a colourist but this is so much easier than alcohol pens....and  I feel quite satisfied with the results and I know with practice I will get better....

the stamp is one of the new Jane Gill Festive Fuzzies and as you can see this is Santa...a distressed ink background with ink splats ,embossed stars and trees and fluffy stuff...oh I have had fun making this...

Thanks for popping by today I hope you are having a good one...stay safe and well.

thank heaven for crafting....

 this lockdown is much tougher than the first ..the cold and the snow are making it difficult to even go out for a walk so I am exercising by going up and down the stairs!. .thank heaven for crafting....

I have been doing a bit of stamping today...I decided to heat emboss this lovely image as well to give it a glorious shine...its a woodware stamp called Lino cut-wren....and has to be a firm favourite of mine....

I have fallen onto the naughty step this week and bought some new dies...I know I was going to be so good....but the new arch dies from Heartfelt creations were an indulgence....                                           

                                                   I hope you are staying safe out there...just 3 more days to my first vaccine jab.!                    

A masculine birthday card....

I do find it difficult to make cards for men and when I saw this woodware stamp I thought it would do  the job.....

I stamped the backing paper with the small stamp in the set ...and framed the main image which I embossed with black embossing powder... with a white boarder to make it pop out a bit....the sentiment it a marianne design die....
Thanks for popping by my blog today and I hope you are enjoying your crafting today.....

a Sunday Christmas card.....

well two cards.... as I started out with the grey one and then tried this lovely woodware stamp in blue as well....I just loved the lino cut look ...it reminded me of school.....
Hope you're having a lovely weekend and not too battered by the storms barrelling through....all my plants have been over a couple of times   so are now tucked away against the house....
Thanks for popping by my blog today.

Sundays cards.....still being good!

I have been having some fun making backgrounds with pixie powders and having watched Julia Watts and Francoise Read on Hochanda thought these stamps would go well on them....

the stamp is a woodware one ...bought before my no buy September...which is still going well...and to be honest I have so much stuff I have bought and not used yet that this really is good for me!...I keep telling myself!
thanks for popping by today I do appreciate you visiting my blog and if you have left a comment I will be sure to come along and visit you...

A Happy birthday card

I always find making cards for gentlemen difficult but my friend Brian is a animal lover so I thought this might be appropriate

this is foxy stamp from woodware...stamped and embossed in black and then coloured with my crafters companion water colour pencils...a first for me....the backing paper is from a Phill Martin pad and the flowers are heartfelt creations stamps and dies...
I was inspired by Francoise Read when she was on Hochanda ....
I hope you are having a great day and maybe doing a bit of crafting .....
