A Furry Friend...

Hi everyone, Hope your all well! Before i go any further i wanted to appologise for not being around very much over the poast few weeks. Between my health and then my Mum having to move its been a pretty rough time. I promise to get around to visit you soon!

Today is my turn to post on the Sugar Nellie Blog so just popping by to share it with you too!

I have used one of the new Furry Friends Digital Stamps on my card.

This is little bunny will be in the  Funky Kits Store very soon! (I will update once its on!) How cute is this...so easy to colour so fab for a quick card!

I have used Promarkers and Polychromos to colour my digi stamp.

The papers are Isabelle from First Edition. I have used some flowers, ribbons and some gorgeous gems to finish. 

Just a reminder that we are also running a competition throughout August in which could win you a colouring class from Kit and Clowder! All you need to do is show us your makes from the new release!

Merry Weather!

Hello! Hope you are all well. I have been trying to get this card posted for days and either get distracted and end up browsing other blogs, crafts sites and shops or i fall asleep. I got a call from my Gp yesterday to say that my last blood test was not great and that my blood count is low. He got me along for more blood tests and was going to get in touch with my consultant. I also went to gp this morning as i am struggling. I think i have them all baffled to why this keeps happening. I had a fast heart rate so had to go back for a ECG a few hours later and it was fine but heart rate still fast.

Its a waiting game...again.

Anyway, at last here is my card i made using one of the newer digi stamps from Elisabeth Bell. She is called "Merry Weather". Very cute just like all Elisabeth Bells images!

 Materials used..

Image - "Merry Weather" by Elisabeth Bell

Papers - First Edition Isabelle

Dies - Sizzix Scallop Border

Embellishments - Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, Tulle and pearls from Hobbycraft and Jute from local craft store. Also used a odd brass Button i had lying around and a little left over length of pearl beads.

Take Care,

Elphine House Australia - Pearls and Lace!

Good Morning! What a horrible miserable day it is. Before i tell you about my card i just want to send my love to those who have been affected by the awful bombings in Boston. Its just awful and so unnecessary. I cant imagine what the families affected are going through. 

Now onto my card. Today is the start of the latest challenge from Elphine House Australia!

The challenge is "Pearls and Lace"

This one is easy for me because i love using both and do so on many cards. I have a little obsession for lace and cant go near a craft shop without checking out the lace. I was in Edinburgh last week and in John Lewis's they had the most extravagant lace i think i have seen. It was so tempting but it was way to expensive to buy to use on cards. This was wedding dress quality!

 

To join in with this challenge you must use a Elisabeth Bell stamp. This can be from any company she has designed for but we would love to see your Elphine House Australia stamps if you have any. 

Here is my card...

Materials used..
