Love & Warm Fuzzies



I made this card using all different tiny flower stamps. Some of them I have just stamped the flower head, not the stalk. I added some paper flowers & stick on pearls & a bit of Kindy Glitz.
I've used Eggplant (Brilliance) ink, pale lilac & pink for the flowers & Olive Green for the foliage. Not a perfect circle but I am happy with the results!
I had fun, that's the main thing!

Tall Flowers



This is a magnetic book mark I made. I used two long strips of card folded in half & stuck together, (with tape) with a small strip of magnet inside each layer. When it is folded over a page it holds the page - even if you drop the book! I stamped in a piece of white card which I glued to the wine coloured card. I added a lilac tab & punched a small hole in the top & threaded some gold cord through it. I punched out some tiny lilac flowers & stuck them to the plant. The bookmark (folded) is almost 6 inches log.

The Purple Hat Ladies!



I made these hats & boa feathers to wear to the craft show last Friday! The hats are made of circles all glued on top of each other. I used my circle nesties to make them - so quick & easy! I made three of them, & I had SO many compliments & comments about them! It was FUN! The hat looks white here but it really is bright purple! Almost the same colour as the feathers!
My cat LOVES the feathers & I was lucky mine actually made it out the door in one piece that day!
I always said I'd have purple hair when I was 50...I got a purple hat feathers instead...!!!

The Tide...



The card I used here is actually a pale cream colour. I sponged the card with words on in a pale blue. I like this verse & it could be used for many different occasions.
I've added a paper flower in a pale cream colour as well as some stick on pearls & tiny punched out daisies in pale blue. The cream card has embossed lines across it.

Mosaic Card




This is an easy card to make, in spite of how it looks! The first photo is of the card open - the ribbon is threaded through the hole on the front of the card, & also on the back of the card. The same holes/half circle are punched on the front & back of the card. The card with the stamped images is cut & folded like an open pocket - the left & right side of the card are open. You thread the ribbon so that it holds the inside card from falling out when you pull it. A FUN card to make, thanks to my friend ROBYN who does NOT use the Internet - yet!!

Flower Power



The flowers are a Penny Black stamp & the lace oval stamp is from www.kiwistamping.co.nz
I stamped & coloured the flowers using my copics. Then I masked the image & stamped the oval & one side of the flowers & cut that out & used sponge tape to stick it to the bottom image. I also used a thick clear gloss on the flowers as well as Kindy Glitz.

Dog-gone It!



Oops, this is a but fuzzy as I forgot to run it through photo shop first! Next time!
It's been a little while since I have posted anything, but I am back now!
I got this dog stamp (Rubbadubbado) at the craft show last Friday.
We were lucky to get there as one of our connecting buses just didn't arrive & we had to get another one which only took us part of the way. Then onto ANOTHER bus, & thanks to the very kind driver who refused to take any fare & very kindly dropped us off as close as possible to the craft show! Very frustrating waiting for buses that don't turn up, & your stuck in the city wondering what to do or which bus to get, especially when there is NO information kiosk to go to!! Wake up MAXX!!!
Anyhow, we DID get there (eventually) & we DID have a great time! And thanks to KAY from Stampzone who dropped us at the bus station coming home again!!
I have more cards to post but have yet to upload them. My hip is still giving me some pain & it makes me a bit "cranky"!! :-(
Right, onto the nest card...
PS, the dog has a tiny butterfly on his nose!
