I used a new die on my card today called Butterfly Dreams by Die Sire. It is the pretty half circle on my card. I used the bottom part of the Rose Nap stamp to place in the half circle. I love this little mouse sleeping on her bed of rose petals.

Y is for Yupo Paper

I can't believe this is the last of my alphabet series. I have enjoyed using techniques and products that start with letters of the alphabet. It kept me thinking outside the box! Today the letter is Y so I used Yupo paper and alcohol inks to make the background. I adhered the trees and then splattered white paint across the background for the look of snow. I want to wish you a blessed Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

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 Sponsor/s for their continued support.
