My Fake Plants!





Here is another humerous card I have made using the wonderful Bugaboo digi stamps.  I hope it makes you smile.

This is typical of me as for years I have mixed fake flowers with real flowers in my gardens.  Nobody realised until I forgot to remove them in the Autumn one year.  Now I openly admit it!!!

My dotty paper is from Pink Petticoat and I have embossed the yellow strip using a folder.  My image has been coloured with promarkers and a bit of crystal glaze.  The butterfly is punched, coloured with a promarker and some glitter glue added.

Sending Christmas Cuddles



Here is a Christmas card I have made using a kit from Hunkydory.  These kits are ideal for quick cards as there is no colouring to do.  They also have a luxury feel about them.  The only thing I have added are die cut snowflakes and some gems.

Twice As Nice





For this card I have used a stamp from LOTV which I have coloured with promarkers.  My zodiac sign is Gemini which is portrayed by twins so I immediately thought of these little cuties.  The spotty paper was a magazine freebie from long ago.  The satin paper ribbon was from my stash along with the pearls.

When Life Gives You Lemons...




You might have noticed that my favourite images to use for my cards are people rather than animals as I find them easier to colour.  Not only that, although I like animals I prefer the social contact with people.

My digi image today is from Bugaboo and I have coloured her with promarkers with a bit of crystal glaze added too.  If you know me, you will also know that she is holding my 'tipple of choice'!!!  The background papers are from Pink Petticoat which go with the sentiment perfectly.

Spring Cleaning...




When the sun starts to shine more I can't help but think of Spring Cleaning everything, how boring is that???  I think Stella above has the right idea though!

I coloured my Bugaboo digi stamp with promarkers and added crystal glaze.  The backing paper was a magazine freebie that I have had for years.  Finally I stamped a bottle and glasses (another magazine freebie), coloured with promarkers and heat embossed twice before fussy cutting and attaching to my card.

Thinking Of You.






Here is another CAS card using distress inks this time.  Once I had cut a mat I masked off areas to create the stripes with the ink pads.  I then inked around the edges.  Once this was dry I added a stamped sentiment from Papermania.  I Using a Stampin Up punch I punched a butterfly from glitter paper for texture and a dash of sparkle along with a couple of gems.
