celebrate your day - for mum

I need some help when it comes to taking pics of my cards - the colour is so very pale here but IRL there is a great deal of contrast between the white card and the turquoise blues and mustard colours of the paper -

Southern Girls - anything goes - with easter or  mothers day.

 My husband always asks me why I only make one card and thinks I should make two similar cards when I have all the supplies to hand -here is my second card using the same stuff. Another crappy picture - any suggestions would be appreciated.

thank goodness it's wednesday

Monday was  a wasted day as I had a crappy migraine - I did feel a bit  better yesterday and thought a bit of card making would be good - I managed to destroy this stencil completely and my craft mat was covered in moulding paste - I decided to go shopping - I slammed the house door shut only to find I had the wrong keys - my house keys - car keys and phone were all in the house - I has to sit outside for nearly 3 hours waiting for my husband to come home from work.

My efforts today were much better - I used the palest grey marker pens and scribbled down the card front - you can just about see it in the above image  -I stamped the butterflies and then stamped then again on some spare card - I cut the body and front wings which I added at the end- after masking off the butterflies I stamped the tree bark using another marker pen to colour the stamp - again using the marker pens I stamped out the sentiments - I used the blue marker pen to colour the butterflies.

celebrate in blue

I stamped the flower and then masked it off before stamping the leaves and then fussy cutting out.This stamp set from Altenew does have matching dies but I wanted the whole thing in one piece. The celebrate stamp came from a set bought in a local discount store . The word 'celebrate ' covers so many things - mothers day -birthday ,anything really which is why I left the inside blank and just stamped a couple of leaves.

Z fold my way

                Sorry about the shadow in the bottom corner - I really did the best I could.

The weather here in Tasmania has been very dull for a few days - taking a good pic is hopeless even with the lights on. The gingham paper is two shades of green - not grey .I found these 4 flowers yesterday -stamped but not coloured - not sure what sort of paper it was but it was very porous and I couldn't actually blend anything - I used the yellow directly onto the paper - the orange I mixed with lots of water - it basically dried where it dropped.

Passion for ProMarkers -challenge 528 - fancy folds - I'm not sure if there are any right or wrong ways to make this - I just did what I thought.

A little love

Last August I bought some moulding paste  - I thought I should give a go as I have quite a few stencils - I coloured the paste with Pro Markers and then taped off sections of this leaf stencil.

 As all the colours are very pale I used a light grey to match in with some of the leaves. Not bad for a first attempt - I love the raised texture of the paste. Sorry about the bad quality of the pic -it is so very very dull here today .

bring on the cake

I always tell myself cards for kids should be bright and full of colour - it never happens -I just prefer CAS.This little mouse is an old stamp from Stampavie -  I used an unrelated stamp for the bunting but the outlines were just too thick and heavy - I had to cut some paper and cover them up leaving just the thread line across the top . I used a mix of Aqua promarkers and Promarker pens.
