Zooming Along



This is one of my favourite masculine cards, and quite simple . I cased it but am sorry i can't remember where from as it was a while ago. I've scored the background and then cut a piece of card wavy and sponged with pale blue ink whilst moving the card around. the planes are from need for speed stamp set stamped and cut out the painted with basic grey ink and finished with poppy parade pen. Speak soon. Sue

Back to Blogging















Hello,

Back to work this morning after a short break in my caravan, but I always take a bag with some stamps and inks with me and whilst I was there I made these cards with the A la Carte stamp Sail Away and early expresso ink, card and a couple of punches. I sometimes like to limit myself with my supplies so beginners aren't using too many things and it doesn't cost them too much to buy the products. If you look close i have decoupaged the sails. the sky is coloured by cutting a template of curvy card and distressing on too the sail away card. hope thats clear. I've painted the sea with an aqua brush and ink.hope to have more posts soon. Sue

Shopping List Pads
















Hi Friends,

At Leeds training I forgot my notepad! So Helen my upline gave me a lovely little one she'd decorated. I used it that day but as soon as I had chance I decided to buy some and decorate myself. thay are loved by all my friends and make a super little gift. so this week I've bought some shopping list pads and decorated them. I've used some old DSP papers and teamed it with the mixed bunch stamp set and the bird punch. instead of using the punches for the flower I have cut it by hand. I think I'll invest in the punches though its much quicker if I am to make a lot.
