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.

Hey Mona!


Well I've impressed myself with this one, I think it's definately one of my better attempts at an inky project. This is for this weeks Sunday Stamper challenge, the theme is green. I inked a plain white card with Adirondack ink pads in lettuce and meadow and smudged the colours in with a baby wipe. I the used a green Versafine inkpad to stamp Mona and the creativity saying. I then cut a piece of acetate to fit the front of the card and coloured it with alcohol inks in meadow, lettuce, oregano and a touch of silver. I used the green Versafine pad to add my final Tim Holtz stamp onto the acetate and clear embossed the image. I attached the acetate with two green brads. I really like the effect.

Party on


Last weeks theme for The Sunday Stampers challenge was party hats, I used my new Sugar Nellie stamp which I coloured in with Sakura pens, I stamped a party hat and coloured that in too then matted it all onto a flower embossed card, it's simple but I quite like it.
