flowers for you

Passion for ProMarkers week 548 - use a die - I used two along with my usual AquaMarkers and Winsor and Newton grey selection - all given a finish with a wink of stella.

wonky hugs

I used the blue,red yellow and green from the AquMarkers and the lightest grey shade from the Winsor and Newton Neutrals.When I mixed the blue and red I was hoping for a violet colour ,instead I have this red wine tone which is ok as I had this dark pink paper which matched.

The image is from Stampavie.I used the 'hugs' from Ranger Letterit which seems a popular stamp set with a lot of you but I'm not so happy with it - maybe I'm just rubbish at stamping.

Keeping it simple

 when I looked through my pink/red scraps I was amazed at just how many useless bits of paper I have kept.I keep my scraps in colours so it should be easy to go through each colour and throw away all the really tiny bits (maybe).

I embossed a white panel to put them on  and gave them all fish tails.

A sentiment from Letterit clear stamps and a few pink gems.

happy birthday

Passion for ProMarkers - week 546 - Blue and Yellow- I love my Aqua markers ,the colours are very deep which means you can add  of water and not lose the colour. I used Cerulean Blue and Cadmium Lemon which is very sharpe and almost green.

that someone special

The Flower Challenge - 45 Navy +one other colour - I went with two shades of lemon and used three of the  dies to assemble the flowers - I' not sure about this colour combo and maybe a lime green would have been a good contrast with the navy.

Birthday Wishes

sorry about the photo angle it was very late when I took this pic and there were just too many shadows.

I used Alizarin Crimson from the Aqua Markers and from ProMarkers Neutral set which are all shades of grey I used the first 3 colours. I used foam to raise the whole panel - image from LOTV.

stamping mad

 This book has sewing projects from a tiny needle case to table runner or adding some cross stitch to a shirt or patchwork cushion as you can see below.

I have had this book for many years and to keep it clean I covered the outside with brown paper.When I saw the challenge it was easy to get out the sewing stamp set which was came with a magazine some years ago.

I added the tiniest amount of shading and then stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black adding just a square of detail on the front.

.I then went completely mad and sponged and stamped like crazy on the back.

Incy Wincy Design challenge to June 13th - Anything but a card.

Now I'm in the zone I've just eyed up a cook book which I can decorate with a pear stencil ,a tiny carrot stencil , I'm sure I have an apple as well , just need to look through my stash.

pink and green on a very rainy day

the weather here in Tasmania is very rainy, dull and dark - it is the first day of winter - the lights are casting a shadow but there is nothing I can do.

Crafty Hazelnut's  Patterned Paper June challenge -As always anything goes

It's  hard to see but I did add some pearlescent paint to the base of both flowers and the tiny bud , the green is also pearlescent which you just about see on the flower base at the top of the card

yummy strawberries

I used Cerulean Blue,Alizarin Crimson , Cobalt Green and Cadmium Lemon from the AquaMarkers.

This is a first for me making a smooshy dark background - I would normally leave it white.

Passion for ProMarkers- week 544 - it's a Summer thing - what says Summer more than Strawberries.
A tradition at Wimbledon tennis for many years - I will miss watching the tennis this year.
