Stamps for sale!!

ETA: I will take any stamps that have been sold off of here, so any that are left on my blog have not yet been sold.

I have some stamps for sale :) All are new and unused.
I got these a few weeks ago along with a few others (long story so I won't bore you with it), but I know I will never get round to using them all and I could be done with some money more than the stamps right now so I have kept a few and am selling the rest.
If you are interested in any, leave me a comment or email me and I will get back to you with prices.
I am selling all of them for around half their normal price.

Digital Tuesday dt card

The new challenge over at Digital Tuesday is "Bits and Pieces" (use scraps) and My Grafico is sponsoring us again this week.
They were also generous enough to give the design team one of their digital stamp sets to play with and it is so sweet.

Here's my card.

 I used one of the cute images from the set My Grafico gave us, isn't he a cutie?! The set is designed by Primsy Doodles and can be seen here.

I printed the images out twice, coloured with Promarkers and layered the monkey and the leaves on trees.
The papers are K&Co which were in my scrap box. The flowers are Primas and the rose is from a local haberdashery, which I inked the edges of with sopme blue chalk in. Everything else is from my stash.

The winner of this weeks challenge will get a digi stamp set from My Grafico (winners choice) and also 30% off a purchase in store.
They have so many digi sets to choose from, cute, flowers, vintage or whatever other style you like, there is something for everyone.

Now that's my card done, just a little reminder that I still have stamps for sale (just scroll down my posts a bit. There is 2 posts with stamps). They are all new and I am selling them each for around half of their original price.
I did forget to say in the post that I will ship anywhere, so if there is something you fancy, either email me or leave me a comment, or you can leave me a message in my chat box. Please be sure to leave an email address or some way for me to contact you though as I have had comments from people this past few days and I can't get in touch with them because they didn't leave an contact email address.

Thanks for stopping by

Digital Tuesday Butterflies and Lace.

The challenge over at Digital Tuesday this week is to use butterflies and/or lace, so of course I just had to use both :)

 The Butterfly images is from Fred She Said from the Flutterbies For Yout Flowers digi set and I coloured it with Promarkers, papers are Papermania from the Summer Bloom pack, pearls and the lace (which I just noticed is squint in this pic!) are from my stash and the flower was made using one of the flowers from Fred She Said from the Paper Roses and Leaves Template set and leaves are from the same set.
This just shows how versatile the rose template set is, you can make so much different flowers with it, not just roses.
I printed out the single flower and resized it to 50% then printed it out and drew round it on some handmade paper. I cut out 3 of them then scrunched the paper up and played with it a bit until I could seperate the layers and ended up with 2 layers then put them together and scrunched them up a bit to make it look it does now, then inked the edges a little.
I wasn't sure how these would turn out as I was just playing about with them not knowing what I was going to make, but I am quite pleased with the result :)

Before I go, I have a little bit of news to share. The other day I was asked to be on the Dewdrop Craftz design team!! :)
I love the images Nikki has in her store, so I am so happy that I am able to play with them all :)

I still have stamps for sale (you can see them in the 2 posts below), there are no prices on the posts but you can see most of the original prices on the stamps and I am selling most of them for under half price, so if you see anything you like, just shoot me an email or leave a comment and I will get back to you :)
Oh and forgot to mention that I will post anywhere :)

Thanks for stopping by

2nd post today!!

I already had this card made earlier but I was waiting for my camera to charge so I could take a photo of it.
This is one I made with an image from Dewdrop Craftz. I saw one of their images on a blog the other day and just had to go have a look at them. I love anime sytle images and their anime images are fab!!

 I just couldn't get a good photo of this because the spotty card is really shimmery and it just reflected the light. It is actually a silvery colour irl. I got it from a friend so I am not sure who makes it, but I do know that the purple one is by Chatterbox.
The image as I said is from Dewdrop Craftz by CupuDOTexe is called FuwaFuwa. I coloured her with Promarkers but I'm not very happy with her hair colouring because I only have a few browns markers just now and they are not very similar shades so it was hard to blend. I want to try her with black hair but I still need to get some more grey markers as I only have 2 greys which are both quite light. I haven't been using Promarkers that long, so I don't have all the colours I would like yet but I am collecting them a little at a time :)

The large rose is from John Lewis and was originaly a light cream but I inked the edges with some lilac ink, the tiny rose buds are fom Joanna Sheen's website and I sprayed them all with glimmer mist.
The glass bead wire spray thing is from a local florist warehouse. I must get more of these because they are so pretty in real life :)
The two hearts were handcut from some mulberry kind of paper that I found while looking for something else lol, and the pearls and gems are from my stash.

Wow that was a long post for one card wasn't it?!
Thanks for popping past, I really do appreciate all my visitors and I love to read your comments :)

By The Cute and Girly- August Challenge

The challenge over at By The Cute and Girly this month is Animal Antics. As always there is some great prizes top be won and also a guest designer spot for the October challenge.

My first make this month is a card, I know I am so predictable! lol

The papers are ones from my scrap box so I'm not sure who makes them. The image I got in a rak and I coloured it with Promarkers, isn't it cute lol. I think it's a Penny Black but I could be wrong.
All all the flowers except the orange one which is one I found in my stash, is from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the gorgeous butterfly is from Little Snippets Etsy store who is also one of our sponsors this month.

My other project was a very easy one but it took me forever to make!!
The idea of making an animal circus train came to mind (no idea where that came from lol), and I was just going to make a card with panels that folded out to reveal the whole train, but then I thought I could do a 3d train that my youngest Daughter could play with as she is a bit of a tomboy, but time ran away with me and I knew there was just no way I would have time to make it, so I ended up just printing out some colouring pages that I found online (sorry I forgot to take a note of where I got them), and cut all the bits out and joined them together with some ribbon.

This was a pain to take a pic of! The whole train didn't fit in the photo, so I had to take it in two parts then join the two pics together. It's just as well I figured out that my camera can do that because there is no way I would of managed to do it in a graphics program because I am so challenged when it comes to stuff like that!! lol


I printed each image out twice then coloured with Promarkers and cut out all the animals except the Lion because he is behind bars and some of the other little bits and layered them on top to make it a bit 3d. It took me ages to cut out all the little bits and stick them on with foam pads!! I didn't have any silicone glue so I had to cut tiny strips of foam tape to stick the bars on with as I wanted it to look as though the animals were behind the bars............ could only be me who has a stupid idea like that when I only have 2 hours to get the whole thing done lol.

I also backed the whole thing with some thick card so it was a bit more sturdy and then Chiara was able to pull it around lol.

Sorry about the pics, I took them late at night.

 

Well I think that will be the last time I try to make something for the kids. They would of probably been better making it themselves!! lol

Thanks so much for stopping by :)

Here's my card made with the new Gerbera Daisy in a Jar digi. There is also a a peony in a jar and they both come uncoloured and coloured.

I know this is sooo not my style of card, but I wanted to keep it simple to show off the image.

I coloured the image with Promarkers the other day when I coloured a pile of other images so I didn't have any paper in mind ot use with it, but I found this one in my stash and thought it went perfectly with the colours I had done the image in......I was quite surprised because the flowers even look quite similar, that really was a stroke of luck! :)

I wanted to use some organza ribbon as the other purple ribbons I have just didn't look right, so I took some white organza and coloured it with a promarker so it matched my image perfectly, then finished off with a few purple gems.

It was really hard for me not to add more embelishments to this but I think the paper is busy enough on it's own without adding to it so I just left it as it is:)

Now my special word is......oh no I can't remember what it is!! ....................only joking, that would be a bit of a disaster wouldn't it?!

My word is TIME

Your next stop is Carol H and I know she will have something stunning to show you!

Thanks for stopping by and happy hopping!
