Day 27 - The Daily Marker Thirty Day Colouring Challenge #thedailymarker30day


This is my card for Day 27 of "The Daily Marker Thirty Day Challenge".  I've used a Penny Black stamped image from their "Relax and Enjoy" clear stamp set.  Stamped in Versafine ink and coloured with Distress Oxide Inks.

Lavinia Stamps Raven - Birthday Card


My friend celebrates her birthday later this week.  Some months ago, when she was looking at the cards that I had made, she commented on how she liked the Lavinia Stamps "Rory & Darcy" and that if I made a birthday card for her, could I include them on it.  Fast forward six months and i've created what she asked for.  Hope she likes it.




For this card, I used a gel plate background that I had created some time ago, with a blue and mauve colours.

I started stamping the bottom green area, using the "Ivy Border Stamp" stamped one row on top of the other using Versafine Clair "Verdant" green ink.

I then stamped the "Sacred Spells" verse in the background using Versafine "Smokey Gray" ink, I stamped it three times across the card. At this stage, I masked off a spot light/moon area using Versafine Clair "Charming Pink" shade of ink.

Using Versafine Clair "Fantasia" purple ink, I stamped "Raven" on her branch the  extra branches using the"Tree Branch" and the "Birds".

I used the "Fairy Barnacle" stamp, stamped at the base of the card using Versafine Clair "Charming Pink" ink.  I then stamped the "Fern Heads" in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink.

I stamped the "Rory and Darcy (the set)" characters, standing on the Fern Heads.  I stamped Rory and Darcy in Versafine Clair "Fantasia" purple ink.  Using the same ink, I stamped the "Climbing Ivy" in the bottom right hand corner.

Using Versafine Clair "Purple Delight" shade of ink (which is more pink than purple), I stamped the "Star Burst" pods.  I used the same ink to edge the card with.

Finally, I used a white and a silver glitter Signo pen to add highlight areas.  I also used Lavinia Stamps "Holographic Moon Dust" to areas of the fairy wings and the Star Burst Pods to add sparkle to the card.

Day 25 - The Daily Marker Thirty Day Colouring Challenge #thedailymarker30day


This is my Day 25 make for "The Daily Marker Thirty Day Colouring Challenge".

I've used a Penny Black image from their "Mocha Moments" clear stamp set, stamped in Versafine "Smokey Gray" ink.  I coloured the image with Distress Oxide Inks applied with a paint brush.

Stampers Anonymous - "Mini Holidays 4" Christmas Card


I recently purchased a Stamper's Anonymous cling stamp set called "Mini Holidays 4 - CMS142" and it arrived today, so I had to try one of the stamps out immediately, making this very quick card.

I stamped the camel image in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink and created the landscape using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink and the torn edge of a piece of copy paper to create the landscape the camel trio stand on.

I die cut the central image and then mat and layered it in black.

I like the starkness of the card and the fact that there is no sentiment.  The image says it all to me.

Day 24 - The Daily Marker Thirty Day Colouring Challenge #thedailymarker30day


Day 24 of "The Daily Marker Thirty Day Colouring Challenge".

I used a Hero Arts stamped image called "Santa's Elves Stamp & Cut - DC160", coloured with Arteza Brush Pens.

I used the "Broken China" Distress Oxide ink through a Funky Fossil "Nordic Star" stencil for the background.

Week 48 - 52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2019


The prompt for Week 48 is "Party Season".  With Christmas just around the corner, it is officially party season!

For my tag, I used inks on a brayer and sprinkled Brusho over to create the speckled background effect, at the same time I added Cosmic Shimmer "Rich Gold" Pixie Powder.  I also splattered some white Gesso across the tag.

Using various old stamps, I stamped the purple diamond pattern from top to bottom.  I used another stamp for the red dots.

Using Black Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink I stamped the party hat which is part of the Stampers Anonymous "Mini Blueprints 2 - CMS146".  

Using the same ink, I stamped the word "invitation" which is part of a Rubbadubbadoo stamp set.  I then stamped the word "Celebrate".  I bought this stamp set second hand, so I have no idea who made it.

Finally, I inked the edges of the tag black.
