Cute Daisy May Digi Stamps and Copics


I tried these digi stamps from: http://countrycraftergooglemailcom.blogspot.com/

and I just love them - thanks to Issy for the link ;)

So I'm having a try at the challenge http://cutedaisymay.blogspot.com/

I've used Copics for the very first time and I must say that I can see why they're the lastest "must have" lol

The wreath is finished with Flowersoft and Stickles
Thanks for looking ;)

HANNA'S WINDOW SHOPPING STAMP SET


This set of stamps from HANNA is getting replaced as the "shop window" stamp was damaged. So until it's replaced, I scanned it into PS to tweak it and coloured it digitally.

The sketch is inspired from one of Pink Petticoat's and it's their DP used.

The bottom scallop is made from an art deco ding.

SASSC24


For my friend Terry who's birthday is on Friday.
She likes brown hues so I'm hoping she'll like this.
I followed the sketch from...http://sasthefreshbatch.blogspot.com/
and am pleased with the LO.
The gold coloured panels [originally plain white paper] I coloured with Cosmic Mica powders, applied directly and also stamped with Versamark before applying the mica.
Most of the flower stamping was done using CaroLines Die Sheets...the gold sprigs were stamped and heat embossed using Hero Arts [fanciful dot filament] stamp.
Sentiment stamp by FUNSTAMPS [if friends were flowers]
and finished with a smattering of chrystal flowers from The Glitter Girls, a bit of flowersoft, gems and Glossy Accents.

MY GRANDSON'S NAMING DAY CARD













It's Grandson Alfie's naming day on Saturday and I made this card for him.
There's a short 'boy' greeting spread between the letters A - I, and a rather good poem/sentiment and the last page [letter E]. I found the poem on-line which put a smile on my face.Most of the DP used is DCWV 8x8" Nanna's Nursery [baby boy] stack.
The overall size of the card is 15cm x 26cm {approx. 6x11"}
