Spring is in the garden...

My goodness me - took a few photos (with my phone) of all the new flowers in the garden (Spring has sprung!) as I finally had a day at home yesterday.  Amazing Cactus flower...

Bit early for Christmas - just playing around

Card orders... similar but each one a bit different

Holidays at Iluka - beautiful area

 Just love colouring images.  These ones with Prismacolor pencils

 Had to do a couple of quick cards for my son and daughter in law.

 This one for Beck, a great daughter-in-law.

 Hand made flower looks great on this rumple, smoochy technique

 Playing around with stamping between ripped sheets of paper ... nice effect

 Made the green flower and matched it up with a few scraps of paper and some ribbon to "tie" it off.

Something sweet!

It's my Mum's birthday today - 89 years young - and I thought as she likes something sweet, I should celebrate in a small way with some sweet cards!  Don't you just love those Viva Decor Pearl Pens!  I remember those small sugary pearls that you can use on cakes.  Yum!

Cupcakes, my idea of heaven in paper wrappings..

Lollipops are all the rage in this one and a butterfly to make the calories fly away!

What can I say, more cupcakes both punched and using stickers.  Sweet goodness, absolutely!

Using Peg stamps and a dress template I made this sweet flower dress which is being carried away by the butterflies.  An organza rose finishes off the card. 

A myriad of Peg Stamp flowers and grasses plus bugs of all sorts finishes off this busy summer garden card.

Vintage Cards

I have a lovely stamp that I used for this card.  With the EK Success punch on the edges, a bit of old lace under and a flower that I made from various 90gms paper and spritzed, I think this card qualifies for Vintage..

After colouring the tag with three Distress inks stamped on a mat with a little spritzed water, I then stamped the tag with a background image.  I used some lovely Green Tara ribbon down the side and then added the tag to which a Jolee's Boutique Dimensional heart was attached.The flower has been slightly coloured to age a little as has the message, which is from Kaisercraft.  The pearl strips (Kaisercraft) finished the card off.
