Christmas in the Making

Stampin’ Up! – Christmas in the Making Copic Markers Please click photos to view details … We are in the middle of a 10 day holiday to Hamilton Island In the Whitsundays. (Great Barrier Reef!) Sandy and his girlfriend Sami are here with us. Gav and I were here over 20 years ago and it…

Under the Sea

Hi bloggies! I have had a project going lately … to fill up my stash with some encouragement cards … so you will be seeing a few over the next few weeks. You won’t believe it … but I have nearly finished my Christmas cards too!! So … plenty to share! 😃. Now just need…

Prayers …

Hi bloggies! I just had to send this card out today … a sad occasion … but I had made this a few weeks ago for my stash and was glad today to have it ready to use. I love this technique of watercolouring onto dark card with metallic watercolour paints. It is soooo pretty….

Northern Lights Technique

Hi bloggies! I recently came across an interesting technique on Youtube that I had not seen before. It was so eye-catching that I had to try it out. Thank you to Debbie Henderson for the inspiration. I decided to make mine into a sympathy card using a die cut sentiment over the top of the card. I won’t bore you…

Eiffel Tower Sympathy

Hi bloggies! I am going to add a few cards quickly … so please forgive me if I don’t chat on too much. My card files are growing … so I need to share some with you! 🙂 The coloured background is created by sponging ink onto the card and then spraying with water. I…

More Sympathy Inspiration

Hi again! I thought I might as well share the other sympathy card that I made recently. (You can see my other one in my previous post). This inspiration for this card came from a Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge via Pinterest. I have not done a challenge in months and months … perhaps it…

A sympathy card with love

Hi blog friends! I am back from my travels with Gav’s family! We had a WONDERFUL time in Asia cruising on the BRAND NEW Ovation of the Seas on her MAIDEN voyage! What a stunning ship! Our balcony cabin was sooo gorgeous and comfortable. They have definitely ‘upped’ the wow factor both in the cabins…

A sweet little CAS!

Hi again! Another scheduled post today! I am still away cruising on our cruise. This is a super quick card … but … I do love the results! This is an oldie stamp set that I don’t think I will part with. I haven’t used it in ages … but I have to admit that…

Pretty Birthday Blooms

Hello again! Ha Ha! I am a little afraid to show you this card! I was actually a bit chuffed with the result until I looked again at the card that was the inspiration for this one! Then I had to laugh! I still have a lot to learn when it comes to watercolouring!!! 😀…

Trying Something New!

Hi again! Thanks so much for stopping by! So … I am not sure where I found this inspiration for this card … but I think it might have been a ‘first draft’ of THIS CARD that I have already shared with you! Obviously … being my first attempt … it is not quite as…

In My Thoughts!

Hi bloggies! I hope you have been enjoying my latest round of cards. My files are full of cards to share … and my head is full of ideas to create. If only I had the time to do more! This one is a super quick and easy card … I find I often over-do…

Jury – still out!

Hi bloggies! Leonie and I both made this card and both decided we were unsure if we actually liked it. I think it actually looked better on Tami’s blog … than it did IRL. (in real life) Perhaps it is NOT actually the design … because it is quite a stunning effect. Perhaps it is…
