Posy Pip


Over on The sugar bowl the challenge is 'A free for all' so I thought I would enter this card I made with Posy Pip in to it.
I have been colouring with distress markers again and have kept the card simple.
The papers are Stamping up and I think it is the first time I have ever used all the papers from a 12x 12 stack and I think I will have to buy these again.


Thanks for looking
Have a great weekend

Distress markers and Tilda




Hello today I have a card that I would like to enter into the new challenge blog
I have been playing with the new Tim Holtz distress markers and I am loving them.
I still love my copics but it is lovely to have a change.
I have used them directly to paper and love the effect they give.




The stamp is from the new Magnolia range and I think is one of my all time favourites that they have released.
The stamp is called Summer flower Tilda and is here.
The flower are made form a  doohickey die and the papers are magnolia and bobunny.
All items are available at Sir Stampalot.
Thank you for looking

Boobie Love


Hello I am back today with a card I made on Sunday just because I wanted to colour this fabulous image. 
 I have not posted sooner because I have been ill since Tuesday with suspected food poisoning and boy have I felt rough and I am only now starting to feel a bit better but I am exhausted.
The image is a Saturated canary image that Krista kindly gave away for free called Boobie Love.
I have coloured my image with copics and gone for light colours and very pink and girly.
The butterfly is Doohickey and my favourite so you may see it appear a lot on my cards and the border die is Doohickey also.
The sentiment is by dolphin song and the papers Bo bunny and all available at Sir Stampalot.


I would like to enter this into

Molly Blooms


Hello it seems ages since I have posted I have not felt much like crafting lately but I did have a play with these Gorgeous new stamps designed by Clare Rowlands (molly Blooms)
You can see here for stockists
The collection is called 'Big Top'
I have used the Gypsy caravan and Mystic Molly on my card and made a little scene.
The caravan reminds me of when I was a child and my friends Grandad  lived in a caravan which looked very much like this and was on her families farm. I remember going to see him and he always gave us butterscotch sweets.
I have made a acetate dome over the card but I doesn't show very well on the photo.


I have coloured the images with copics and added a little border with my Martha Stewart border punch
and finished with ribbon.
The tree is a magnolia stamp and the little birds are Molly blooms and always see to make there way into my cards when I am making a scene.


Thank you for looking
