Congratulations Luke

Well my nephew Luke got his GCSE results on last Thursday and he did very well, we are all proud of him.


So to celebrate I made this card for him.



Here is Charlotte in her close up.


The stamp which I used was Make It Crafty -Miss Charlotte and the paper is Authnentique 6x6 Wonder which I got from Quixotic Paperie, The congratulation stamp is old wooden stamp that I had for years from craft shop that no longer exists.....

Mistake or not?

You have great idea, then things go wrong, so you start again .

I decided to use stamp Mama's Purse Peeker by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD which I brought from Quixotic paperie , she was coloured in with Copic pens. Then I decided to cut her out using x-cut dielicious nestling.

                 

As you see, when I embossed it, it went wrong, so had to stamp again, this time I did not do the embossed bit......


Here is the final result



I was upset with the one I did earlier, and then my husband said could I not cover it up?, so like  all good crafter's I covered up my mistake and this is the result, which I am very happy with.

Hair Colours

While on holiday in Cornwall, it rained and stamping and colouring called me lol .
I stamped Fleur Anya from the greeting farm 5 times, to practice doing hair, I did different coloured hairs and here are the results.


My favorite is Anya in the green dress.




The copic colours I used for the hair are E42, E43 and Y23,
 I like this coloued haira lot so that I used it three times
that afternoon.......see below

I need close up

After looking at my blog online, I realised that I needed some close ups of my cards.

My first post

Hi to all,

That a bit of a laugh as I have no followers but I thought I would start a blog to show my cards.

 I have made cards on and off for years but only started using copic pens this year. Today I made two cards, the first card is a get well card .... the stamp is from Lili of the Valley and is called little nurse.



The other card also uses a stamp from Lili of the Valley ltd and is called Christmas Dance... this is from their latest collection . So this is the first Christmas card of 2011
