Dies Series #18

 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have made a sympathy card using an unused die in my stash. I always like having a few sympathy and get well cards on hand. This label die is so elegant. I cut it out of white card stock and matted it on gold glossy card stock. This die set also had sentiment stamps with it, so I used the sympathy one in the set. The flower is a stamp with a die that cuts it out and also cuts areas so that the petals and leaves can pop up. I love this elegant new paper that I purchased at a stamp show in the summer. I thought it matched so well with the flower stamp.


Stamps and Dies:  All Occasion Sentiments and Die Set - Spellbinders
Celebrate Stamp and Die Set - Sizzix (flower)

Paper - Summer Flowers - Craft Clock
Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Bio.
I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.
I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.
This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!


Many Thanks to our Generous Sponsors for their Continued Support 

Isn't this fun new stamp cute? I loved ice skating when I was young. I lived in the South, but I loved going to the ice skating rink each winter. I know it would be even more fun to ice skate
on a pond or lake!

Happy Birthday!

 Hi and welcome to my blog! I just love these wild cats by Penny Black. They are such fun stamps. This one is giving birthday wishes. I found this embossed background in my stash and pulled out this stamped image that was also in my stash. I cut the image out using a die and sponged around the edges with blue ink. The border was made using 2 different washi tapes.

Dies Series #17

 Welcome back to my blog! I am showing another die that I have not used in my stash. I love this background die and I decided to layer it and off set it for a different look. Here in the South it still feels like summer, so I used this cute tropical bird and used the die that came in the stamp set to cut him out. I then pop dotted him to the card.

               Flower - Studio G

Dies:  Leaves:  SVG
          Background:  No Brand
