Elements of Style....

This is a card I made for my friend Eileen who's birthday it is today.....Happy Birthday Eileen...
I just love this S.U. Elements of Style stamp set.  Coloured with Copic pens and I have 3D some of the flowers.
Card, papers and the embossing folder are all from Stampin Up...just added a touch of glittered lace and a few pearls.

For part of the background I have stamped an S.U. script background a onto old olive card. Leaf branch is also from S.U.....faux brads added.

St Lukes Charity card challenge...mid month post

Firstly Happy Mothers Day to every mum out there in blogland....I hope you are all being thoroughly spoilt today.


This is also my mid month post for St Lukes charity card challenge and our challenge was Spring into Spring.
My stamp is an old one and although is wood mounted does not have a name on it....this stamp really needed to be 3D to make the tulips stand out...image was embossed with copper and then painted with some Daler-Rowney Pearlescent Liquid Acrylic paints which I have had since the year dot!
Corner dies are from Cuttlebug... sentiment is stampin up.


You still have time to make your Spring into Spring creation...and we are hoping we might top 100 entires this month...so come on crafters help us reach our target.
Have a lovely day.....

Anyone for tea.....

I love these sets where you get stamps and dies together although I have just used the die cuts on this Die-Namics set, its does save you having to cut out the images!  I have used a tiny stamp from the set on the background behind the tea pot.  
Backing papers is S.U.....just added a little bit of lace for the tablecloth and made some faux brads.
Hope you all have a great week end whatever you do..

I've just noticed the word tea is upside down..so had better change that!!

Fresh Vintage...

I've been playing with  my S.U. Fresh Vintage stamp set.
Stamped the main image using old olive and also stamped the larger flower stamp using real red and 3D the flower head.  Mounted onto Nesties.  For the background I used S.U. designer paper which matches the stamp set and one of the S.U. embossing folders. I used 2 of the small butterflies from the S.U. Butterfly Sizzlet die.
We have thick fog again here in Somerset and it quite cold so think today could be a crafting day....well who needs an excuse to craft!!


Thanks for looking...
