Dream

Hi guys, sorry I've not been round to you yet, I've felt really tired these last few days and had Tegan too, but thanks so much for your visits and I will be round to you soon,

 we're back today at Addicted to stamps with a fabby challenge for you

Gorgeous Lace,

I love using lace and beautiful embellies so this was  right up my street,

I just couldn't resist using this gorgeous Aliah digi stamp again by Hanna Lynn from crafts and me, I so love her expression and that hair is to die for, she again coloured with my distress re-inkers, I've discovered my old love of distressing my edges again ( why I gave this up I don't know) lol and so have also distressed the edge of the image, love the shabby chic/vintage look this gives,

The pretty lace was from a gift voucher I was sent by the TT girls when I was recovering from my op, it was so lovely to go shopping on line and really gave me something to enjoy, thanks again girls so much,

The fabby papers are from the Prima  Divine paper pad from the lovely Teresa at My Crafty Heart, again I've distressed these with my scissors, the doily die is by Noor and wow I love it, this I cut using Kraft card stock but they look fab cut in white with distress inks added, one of which is coming on my blog soon lol,

I painted the beautiful butterfly with picket fence crackle paint and added a hint of glitter over the top too, the Prima pearl trim for it's tail is again available from MCH,

One of the papers had this gorgeous little butterfly on, which I cut to be on the edge and used another smaller bit of the same trim to finish this one off too,

I've also used another Noor product which is the for you bingo stamp, which I have again stamped onto kraft card stock, cut out then roughed the edges slightly,

 Will check for challenges later,

inspired by a song

 (but not happy birthday)

well it was our 33rd wedding anniversary last month and so my card is based on two hearts by Phil Collins,

I couldn't put loads of fancy frills on this one could I seeing as it was for my hubby but used my  Spellbinders D-lites die vines of passion die, which I cut four of and the top intricate layers I embossed with aged ivory frantage powder, the background design was also done with a spellbinders elegant labels 4 die,

Tilda and Edwin were coloured with my distress inks and fussy cut out then layered on with pin flair glue,

The bottom of the easel card is decorated like the top with some gorgeous ribbon from
 the pretty little ribbon shop which is now sadly closing down and who  is kindly sponsoring this challenge for us, go check out the mega bargains to be had in the closing down sale

the key die is a quickcutz one I've had for years which again I lightly frantaged,

 my crafty heart
paper is by Prima Life Time @ MCH ( so love this pad)

I'm back with my first DT card

Hi guys, well it feels good to be back to blogging again, my treatment is finished and I feel good! yeah!!

the challenge over at Totally Tilda this time is going postal, 

I just couldn't resist using my fab new Noor Old Letter Rose 2 stamp again, I love this stamp,

I've again coloured it with distress re-inkers and coloured Tilda sending love letter with them too, this I have fussy cut round, shaped slightly and layered on with pin flair glue,

To give a vintage/ shabby chic  feel I distressed the edges of the postcard stamp and again layered a couple up, this time I tied them with twine from the pretty little ribbon shop and finished it off with a Tim Holtz pen nib,

The leaves behind the charm are done with a Marianne die, and the doily is a Cheery Lynn one,

Closer view, can you make out the shadow I added, it really helps make it pop!
To take the shine off the pen nib I coloured both this and the charm with my distress inks to give a more mat finish,
