Sitting Here Thinking of You

Hello!

A quick little card from me this evening, using the sweet little dog from the Furever Friends Stamp set.

It's quite simply coloured with my Zig Markers and I made a very simple CAS card, but I do think it looks very sweet.

I've listed the items used below, which I purchased from Dies to Die for in the UK.

I've been playing with my new stamps from MFT this weekend and I can't wait to share those with you, they may end up jumping the queue in the draft folder lol!

Rose Scent Tilda for The Ribbon Girl

Hello!

I'm here with a DT post for The Ribbon Girl.

It's been rather a long time since I coloured up a Tilda, I've almost forgotten how lol, 

so I thought I'd have a play with Rose Scent Tilda.

I don't find red the easiest to colour with distress inks, if you aren't careful it looks pink and if you try and build too much depth it can bleed very easily as it's highly pigmented, but it didn't turn out bad today.

The papers are old ones from the Siri's Kitchen collection and I thought this kitchen tile design could easily give the impression of bathroom tiles which then tied in with my image.

I used lots of yummy embellishments from The Ribbon Girl and I've listed them below with links to take you directly to them in the shop.

Cheesecloth

Ophelia Lace

15 mm Burgundy Satin Ribbon

20 mm Burgundy Open Roses

35 mm Burgundy Roses

6 mm Pearl and Diamante S/As

That's it for this morning but I'll have a little something to share with you later today.

Lawn Fawn Fairy Friends

Hello!

A quick one from me as promised. 

I received a lovely parcel of MFT goodies today in the post, mostly from the new release that I fell in love with and I've already coloured a bunch of them up ready to make into cards, but in the meantime, here's a couple of simple but sweet cards using Lawn Fawn's Fairy Friends.

I have to admit that I've had these in my stash for quite a while but hadn't gotten around to using them. 

So to make it up to these sweet little fairies I used them for 2 cards.

The first card I decided to to some bold ink blending to create a rainbow and some grassy hills. I cut my own stencils for these using a circle die and an oval scalloped die.

I gave the scene a nice little frame and finished with a few sequins, fairies need sparkle right?

For my second card I went much more subtle with pastel colours and soft ink blending. After blending Spun Sugar, Shaded Lilac and Tumbled Glass onto my watercolour paper I added a few spots of water and blotted with a paper towel and then when fully dray I added a few splatters of white acrylic paint.

 I stamped a few of the little 'sparkles' on my base and and added a few clear gems.

The first set of faires is coloured with my Zig Markers and the 2nd set is coloured with Distress Ink Markers. I gave the first set hair to match their outfit and all the fairies have wink of stella on their wings for sparkle which of course refused to show up on camera lol. The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

I used the following stamps and dies on my cards.

That's all from me today, I'm off to play some more with my new crafty goodies!
