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!

 
I pulled a background I had made from my stash for this card. I patted a Versa Mark clear ink pad over the flat areas of the embossing folder and ran it through the machine. I applied green sparkle embossing powder over the card and heat set it. The leaves and flowers were colored using Distress inks and water. 




Stamp: from the Spring Mini Stamp Set - Stampendous
Glitter Embossing Powder - Sparkle N Sprinkle
Embossing Folder - Cuttlebug
Dies: Puffy Clouds - Memory Box
Watercolored with Distress Inks
Glitter Glue: Crystal - Stickles
