Sitting Jane

I made a card with Sitting Jane by Make it Crafty. Isn't she adorable ?!

I decided to try making a Bokeh background, I have seen them around a lot lately but this was my first attempt. I was happy with the way it turned out - soft and pretty.  I just sponged, pretty in pink, wisteria and pool party inks onto shimmery white card and then used white craft ink to sponge different sized circles over the top.

The beautiful sentiment is from the Make it Crafty Doodle Bye Word Chipboard set. I just painted it with some acrylic paint.

Ingredients :

Stamps : Sitting Jane (MIC)

Card : x-press it, shimmery white

Ink : memento black, pool party, pretty in pink, wisteria, white craft

Other : Doodle Bye Word Chipboard , Fleur de Lis Accents (SB), copics

YR 14

I loved colouring this stamp and my 13 yr old daughter said that if the card didn't have the "bye" on it, she would want it for her birthday card. That means she loves it :)

Thanks for dropping by today :)

Layer Cake

I have a card for Bunny Zoe's Crafts to share today and I've used The Greeting Farm set called Layer Cake.  And amazingly there is no colouring involved at all!!!

I also used the Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Accents dies, which are so pretty and I added some flat backed pearls to them too. The paper is from the Head over Heels pad by Echo Park.
I added some Star Dust Stickles to the candles and used antique linen and walnut stain distress inks.

Card : whisper white, crumbcake, pink pirouette, pretty in pink, Head over Heels (Echo Park).
Ink : pink pirouette, pretty in pink, regal rose, celery, antique linen and walnut stain distress inks

Wheelbarrow Marci

I have a card for Bunny Zoe's Crafts to share today and I got to use a La La Land stamp for the first time.  Her name is Wheelbarrow Marci and I think she's gorgeous and she was lots of fun to colour :)  This sentiment, plus another, are included with her too which is a bonus.

The paper is by Magnolia and is called Vintage Forget Me Not.  It is truly beautiful, it actually looks textured because of the background pattern on it.
The corner die is from a Spellbinders set called Fleur de lis accents and I sponged it and the papers with antique linen distress ink.
I also used some light blue web ribbon and an ice storm button.

Ingredients :

Stamps : Wheelbarrow Marci
Card : x-press it, crumb cake, Vintage Forget Me Not (Magnolia)
Ink : memento black, antique linen distress ink
Other : Fleur de lis accents (SB),  light blue web ribbon and an ice storm button, copics
