'See Beauty'

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are  doing good and have been enjoying some creative time. 

 

I have a real quick n easy card to share today that if truth be told I actually made a while ago now but never seemed to get around to sharing at the time, or any time thereafter. 

 In fact, the same can be said for quite a few more of my makes too so in the coming weeks / months I'm going to be looking to finally give them all some 'air time' both here and across my social media. Hope you'll stay tuned! 

(Links to my social media at the foot of this post)  

This card was created with some of PaperArtsy stamps designed by Seth Apter (ESA22, ESA23, ESA24) along with some of PaperArtsy's infusions ( Lemoncello, Magenta, Royal Blood)

The shape n design of one of the stamps on Seth's stamp set ESA24 (bottom right on carrier sheet) always makes me think of petals/ leaves (I reckon its got 'cockroach' potential too 😉) so I stamped it repeatedly around a stamped centre circle to create flowers- one in full as the focal, the others in part coming in from the sides

I painted the flowers using PaperArtsy Infusions ( Lemoncello , Magenta) as watercolours.

The background itself was 'washed' with PaperArtsy Infusions (Royal Blood) before being randomly stamped with one of the detail stamps on ESA22. (bottom left on the carrier sheet) . I love the 'broken text' design of this stamp - its a real fave and one I reach for often.

The small circles and circles with longer lines running through them were stamped using part of the design of one of the stamps on ESA23 (top left on the carrier sheet). I dropped some Infusions (Lemoncello) into each to add touches of colour .

 I splattered some PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Acrylic (Snowflake) around and drew in some sketchy white highlights  to 'lift' the black stamping. 

The card was then matt n layered onto white and back card panels with a couple of Tim Holtz Ideology small talk stickers providing the final touch. 

See Beauty!

I hope you enjoyed your time here with me today.  Thanks for taking the time to stop by. 

Appreciate!

Hope to see you again soon but until then I wish you all a fun filled creative weekend!

Enjoy!

 Hi Everyone, 

Today I'm over on That's Crafty's blog sharing some cards that I've created with KatzelKrafts 'Winter Wonderland' stamp set and Tim Holtz Distress and Distress Archival inks. 

The cards are CAS in design, minimal in products used, super quick and easy to make so they can be   produced on mass in a short space of time. 

I'm not calling them 'Christmas' cards per se as I think the overall design lends itself to several occasions. 

As well as Christmas cards I think they would also be suitable to send to anyone who doesn't celebrate Christmas that you still want to send greetings to at this time of year. They could be given as autumn/ winter birthday cards, Thank you cards for seasonal gifts, New Year cards or general note cards - just a few ideas!

Here's just a few of the cards ...

and some tags too.

I'd like to enter these into the following challenge: 

Country View Challenges: dec 2021: 'Anything Goes'

Friendship

 Hi Everyone  , 

Just a  quick 'heads up' post to let you know I'm over on That's Crafty's blog today sharing a  'Friendship' card.

Along with colour, detail and texture the card features 3 'Friendship Flowers' that I've created using a couple of the small image stamps included in one of Lynne Moncrieffs That's Crafty! Affirmations stampsets. 

I think sometimes the small image stamps that are included on a larger stamp set can all too often get overlooked or forgotten about especially if they could be considered to be the 'added extras' but they really can be little gems as the ones I used on my .Friendship. card proved to be.

I would love for you to join me over on Thats' Crafty's blog so if you fancy popping by to find out more  just click HERE and you will be redirected . 

Hope to see you soon

Just Because ...

 Hi Everyone 

It's another Thursday, another blog post from myself over on That's Crafty blog. 
For today I've created a mixed media panel that I've used to make a handmade card. 
The panel could also be used as a journal entry, a book cover, a piece of wall art, maybe set within a larger surround and framed so lots of options.

If you would like to see more pics and read about my creativity then please feel free to join me over on the blog. 

If you just click HERE you will be redirected and I'll be there waiting to welcome you 😊
Hope to see you soon
