Postal Christmas Scene

Here is my Postal tag for Dragon's Dream 'Postal' challenge this week.

Thanks Frankie I enjoyed this one. Background created using alcohol inks then overstamped with Sheena's Ivy stamp and embossed with Lava Black and silver embossing powders. The main image stamped and coloured with Lyra's, Stickles and Inktense pens. Peace on Earth postal stamp from Hero Arts postal collection. Hope my friend like this one even though it is an early Christmas card tag lol.

Christmas in May

This is an early Christmas card made for my DT card for Cute Daisy May 4th May Sketch challenge. I so wanted to use this background card, created using sticky stuff and overlaid gold foil, and it really shouted Christmas to me - sorry. I printed out the little man and coloured him using Inktense pencils and a blender pen, edged the card with red ink then added the santa hat printed from MCS cd and covered it in cotton wool for the fur and glitter sprayed. The swirly oval was from an aperture card set coloured with red ink then glittered with CC Gold Glitter Spray. The red strip of pearlised card has trees on and I added another gold strip, a reindeer and the tree stickers. I printed the parcel from MCS cd. The message, star and corner just to embellish - yet another card done for Christmas.

Friends in the fields

Another set of new stamps to be featured on Ideal World on the 4th June with the lovely Jenny from Hobby Art Stamps demonstrating. I stamped the hill top cottages, horse, donkey, fences and the foliage in black then over stamped and embossed the leaves using green embossing powder. I coloured the rest using metallic pencils, Inktense pens with the blender pen and added a few birds in black. I created the frame which was printed from one of Chris Warner cds then oversprayed with gold glitter spray and mounted on gold mirri card onto a brown curvy edged card. I added some green, orange and brown ribbon as the embellishment. I do hope you will watch the show and maybe purchase some of these lovely stamps. They are a joy to work with.

Yachts on the Ocean

Here is the second sample card for Jenny at Hobby Art stamps. I created a blue background using alcohol inks then added a white circle over which I stamped the yachts and coloured with Inktense Pens and the blender pen again. I then covered this with acetate, sprayed with silver glitter spray, and mounted inside a silver frame on a blue card similar in colour to the alcohol inks background.

The Lighthouse - friend to sailors everywhere

I am currently in the process of sample making for Jenny at Hobby Art Stamps. These new stamps are to be featured on Ideal World on 4th June.

This first one is a navy blue spring card with a white scalloped circle cut from the Nestabilites die set overstamped in blue with the yachts out on the ocean. I then cut a plain circle and stamped with the lighthouse and coloured with Inktense pens using the blender pen. I edged with pale blue inks and oversprayed with silver glitter spray from Crafters Companion. I added the white base also overstamped with the lighthouse and edged in blue inks again.
