About Me

Lincoln, United Kingdom
I'm a mum to a 14 yr old. i started cardmaking a good few years ago after watching QVC. I fell for the "It's much cheaper to make your own" line and have never had a penny to my name since. I've recently tried to steer away from my usual cut and stick technique and try to be a bit more adventurous.

Across The Counter Swap

At my local craft shop, The Craft Room, a few of us decided we'd like to swap ATCs. We call ourselves Across The Counter and have a different theme each month. This month's was butterflies so I've had a play with my new flower stamp and an old butterfly one. I inked the images in black Versafine and coloured them in with my Sakura Glaze pens (can't believe I've never used them before now) and inked round the edges with a pink Brilliance ink pad. It's simple but I quite like it.

Easter Fat Book Challenge

As well as the ATC challenge I also managed to join in the Fat Book challenge, this fortnight's theme is Easter. I inked my page with a Brilliance sunflower yellow ink pad, I then stamped my chick and flower, they are from Imaginisce, they are very inexpensive but I did struggle to get a perfect image with them, however once they're coloured in they look great. I used my Sakura Glaze pens to colour the images and am really pleased with the result.





I also used my new stamps to make some ATCs for Lesley's 3 for 3 stamped ATC swap. On this ATC I used my glitter Sakura pens. I've never used Sakura pens before and I was really impressed. I made another 2 versions of this ATC using the Glaze pens and also the Souffle pens.
