Sneaky

 


I found this background in a magazine (Daphne's Diary) with quality paper and couldn't resist using it with the sneaker die.  You can almost smell the pencil shavings.

Icecream Cone

 


A little summer treat just for you!  Pistachio and apricot swirl flavours with chocolate and a cherry on top.

Croc Birthday

 


It's your birthday, what a croc!  I used a sketch for inspiration.   First I had to look for a stamp that had a round shape, and it went from there.


The dots are drop-outs from a die, the fish are from another die.  I stamped the croc (Stampin Up) onto flowery patterned paper and then coloured his teeth with white pen.  All  put onto fabulous pearly iridescent croc pattern paper I have had for years.

House-Home

 


I used leftover snippets of card that I had previously inked and/or misted in various ways for other projects, stamped them with houses and diecut the hill. More snippet strips for the grassy bit; made the sentiment on the computer.  A little bit of stencilling in the background to anchor the houses.  A tiny bit of additional colouring  of doors and windows and a touch of GA on windows here and there for a bit of shine.


Houses: unknown

Diecut: unknown

Sentiment: computer

Stencil: Tim Holtz

Also: Copics, DI's, Glossy Accents

House Cat

 


I have some new-to-me house stamps and just felt like doing some quirky cards.  Here is the first, made using snippets of card.  The green-yellow background is smooshed using DIs, the houses stamped over an unsuccessful leaf print.   What a smug cat!

The smooshed card is stamped with weird mathematical equations (hard to see in photo), then stencilled, embossed with circles, painted, stroked and stamped.  The cat is made with another snippet leftover from a previous inked project.  Roofs inked with DI, doors coloured with Copics, odd bits of gold glittery goo.

House, cat & equation stamps: unknown (let me know if you know)

Other stamps: Hero Arts,  Heidi Grace/Fiskars

Sentiment: typed on computer

Stencil: Rosie's Studio

Also: DI's, Glitter Kiss, Dylusions paint, black pen, Glossy Accents

Sending Happy

 


This uses the torn paper sponge layering technique.  Torn strips are laid one by one starting at the top and sponged with Distress Inks colour going down the page.  When done I spritzed it to get a blobby effect.  I stamped and coloured the friends and fussy cut them, stamped the birds and sentiment directly.  The tiny row of hearts has Glossy Accents. The edge of the panel is dry embossed to get a nice frame.
