Hi everyone,
The weather has turned from Sunny and beautiful to rainy and cool the last couple of days.  Here's a card that's come together better then what I expected.  I wasn't too sure about putting the die onto such a stark backgound, but I love how the colours in the back compliments it perfectly.

Best B'day

Ladies and Gents,

I have to admit I love the colours for this card, fun and cheerful.  I used TE numbers dies to create my background which worked out perfectly to what I was looking for. Spellbinder's Scalloped Circle die; used with Sizzix For the Record2, Documented dies; Elizabeth Craft Birthday die, Pennyblack Best die.  I coloured the cupcake with Copics after using Elizabeth Craft Silk glitter to give that shimmer. Finally washi tape to give the lettering a background border.

Marty's B'day

Hello Beautiful people,
Life is just full on these days and passing by so quickly.  Can you believe the month of March as flown and we're into April.  I was lucky enough to work the craft show last month and boy were we busy for the 3 or the 4 days.  So many new goodies to entice everyone.  I managed to come away with some awesome stuff myself.  I got my hands on this cute stamp set from TE.  Aren't they just too cute...  I got to make this card for a friend turning dirty 30 so he said.  The nite was full of fun and lots of yummy food with super people.

I'lm entering this into the challenge on

Happy Days everyone,
It's Sunday and we've had the extreme of weathers the last 2 days.  Wild winds and hail one day and beautiful sunshine the next day.
For this card I used watercolour paper, Tim Holtz markers to colour the paper and then sprayed it with water to give that lovely blend of colours.  Stamper Anonymous Tim Holtz collection stamps _ Captured Moments and a Memory Box Chloe Stem  die and Momento Black ink.

Good morning me lovlies
It's Friday and my oh my time flies.  We're on the tail end of January.  I made this card using Spellbinders Decorative Labels 28, Sizzix Ornate Labels, Elizabeth Craft sticker, die andmicro glitter, Copics, washi tape, Versamark chalk.

Cherry cupcake

It's nearly Friday again.  Another start to the school year begins today.  My baby is now on the tail end of high school.  The house is once again so quiet and strange after having it busy for the last 8 weeks.  Thank goodness the day has started cooler and not like it has been the last couple of weeks being in the high 30's and humidity through the roof.

Some thing different for this card.  I used watercolour paper and spritz it with Dylusion sprays.  Stamped images from Tim Holtz range with Momento ink,  Sentiment was from Elizabeth Craft dies, as well as her cupcake sticker.  I used ds sticker and microfine glitter.  Burnished the image before using Copic markers to colour it in.  Excuse the image, I think my mobile camera has a few etchings making the photos not as clear.

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY
Aussie Aussie Aussie,
Oi Oi Oi
Well Mother Nature has certainly done us proud.  It's hot, humid and the sun is out in full force.  Why and I sitting out in the scorching hot room while the family pooch is chillaxing in the air con.  Mad I tell myself.  Oh to see all the wonderful new stuff from CHA 2015, I've started my wishlist.!!!

I've used washi for my border, a die from Sizzix Ornate Labels, IO leafy branch and the tiny rolled flowers. SU markers was used for the embossed parts of the tag.  Some gold alphabet stickers to spell out mum.

U Rock Mum

Greetings one and all,
I'm still trying to keep with the theme of Mother's Day cards to be sent to our troops.  A little bit different for this card.  I used Memory Box stencil with some texture paste for the background, A MFT Scallop border die and UROCK.  Marianne dies for the floral arrangement, IO butterfly, SU small butterfly, Dylusion inks, Versa mark chalk inks, and finally Fancy That alphabet dies.

Hearts for Mum

Hi all,
Please excuse the blurry pic, the mobile doesn't seem to like the coulours.  A very simple card using a 6 x 6 heart pattern stencil, Colorbox Chalk inks to colour the hearts in.  A SU sentiment for the banner.  A Karl round corner punch.  The background of the banner  was done with Dylusion inks.

Dream wings

Hello me lovlies,
I love these sweet Whimsy Stamps (Wee - Sweet Sparkle), I coloured her with Copic pens and used a little clear Wink of Stella on the wings to give it a little sparkle. The embossing folder is by Spellbinders and a little lace netting.  Dream die ( I'm sorry, but can't remember the company that made it.)

Mother's Day 4

Hi everyone,
The last couple of days have seen massive rain and floodings on the roads.  Lots of detouring to get to your chosen destination.  I think this cards come out better then what I hoped for.  I used a grey bazzill, Spellbinder's Bloom Four using paint sample cards, candi brads and the Bee was a Fancy that die.  A variety of washi tapes for the back ground.

4 Mother 2

Good arvo ppl,
Hope your all having an awesome week.  The weather has been pretty good this week with only a couple of days with super high humidity. The rain has certainly brought the temperature down which is a blessing.   I'm either super on time for my challenges or just a day late. Still trying to build up my Mother's day cards to send to the troops.
Here's a very simple one made with Spellbinders Vines of Passion die, I just used the insert so the heart wasn't cut out.  SU corner and heart punch with the sentiment.  Washi tape, bow coloured with Brilliance ink and some sequins to finish it off.

B'day Digger

Hey everyone,
Hope we get to see rain soon.  It's just redonculous with this heatwave.  I've stamped this cute TE digger with Momento ink and coloured it with SU water colour crayons using the Tim Holtz fine paint brush.  The background is a Couture Creations embossing folder and some washi tape for the embellishment.  Used a little glitter gelly pen for the rim of the wheels and the window of the digger too.
