Take Flight

I started this little canvas/tag to practice blending. I love the sunset colours. The stamp is Paper Artsy, the mini postcard and Butterfly are Tim Holtz stickers, I backe the wings of the butterfly with a little peice of card leaving the body section clear and sticky so the wings could stay up, The flowers I made with Tim Holtz paper and two flower punches. I used a ball tool on the centre of the flowers and the petals seem to close up.The little hanger holding the postcard is also Tim Holtz.
I am pleased with the end result using the mini canvas and easel gave me a little more space on the overall piece and I am getting a little more confident with this style now. Let me know what you think

Baby Boy 8 x 8

This easel card was ordered by a colleague of my DH. I used a gorgeous digi stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil , such a cute picture, and papers from my stash, Wild Orchid crafts flowers and spellbinders dies.
I think it could have done with a bit more 'depth' maybe another mat of some sort. What do you think?


Not to keen on the photo though hand kept shaking lol

Emma's Birthday Book

This Birthday Book was commisioned by my brother Graham for his Daughter Emma as a Birthday gift.
The papers are Bird Song by Trim Craft, I also used Tim Holtz Birdcage, flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, I altered the bird with Alcohol ink and also used Tim Holtz corners. This time I used book rings instead of my zutter. I was able to use eyelets on the punched holes, which I thing gives a more finished look, much more in keeping with the pretty girly feel to the covers. I also punched the edge of the pockets with a Martha Stewart punch.
I hope you like it Graham and I hope Emma likes it.




Red + Blue 8x8

I made this card for a colleague of my DH to give to his lady. I liked the colours they came about by accident moving piles of stuff from one place to another ending up with the red ribbon on the blue paper. The stamp is a digi from Mo's digital pencil, an american site with some gorgeous digi stamps. the paper was from my stash and the 'lace' was a paper doilley, the flowers were from Wild Orchid Crafts.
I hope you like it. Please let me know what you think I really appreciate feedback good or bad lol xx
