toucan do things better

Ok, yes I ****** up I dropped the Misti and I double stamped the purple dots, but it's not bad is it?

I was actually quite pleased with my new Avery Elle Stamps.

Lawn Fawn Everyday Sentiment Banners

Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangles

only two years late...

I shared this on instagram ages ago and didn't manage to share it here on my blog and so here it is...

Lawn Fawn winter bunny coloured in copics with a winter llama sentiment with a distress ink sky. The silver splashes are a distress stain spray.

fishy

when it comes to crafts I hardly throw anything away, if a piece of card is big enough to cut a circle from I will keep it, and all of those scraps have been lovingly cut using my smallest spellbinders nestabilities circle die over the weekend so that I had hundreds of little circles in blue and green

These have then been layered together to form this fish scale look, I look some card and covered it with double sided tape (I use a 2" wide tape from elizabeth crafts to do this) then just started sticking the circles down in this overlapping pattern

finished with a lawn fawn sentiment, then I have a card, but I don't just have one card, like many of the cards I make I have also made 'kits' up as well, this is so my mum can make up a few cards as well

hippo birdie

back to my more usual style with fun lawn fawn and bright colours, but this effort was made to use up some of the scraps on my desk

seeing spots

I adore these winnie and walter in a word dies, they have refreshed my card making style

the dots are a hero arts stamp set and inks all lawn fawn, it is finished with my all time favourite pretty pink posh sparkling clear sequins

slowly getting there

still making christmas cards, slowly getting to my target, this one is a mixture of lawn fawn and mama elephant goodies, and I adore my colour mix... all lawn fawn inks

christmas wreath

Using up all of my scraps of Neenah solar white by stamping flowers and leaves from Lawn Fawn Penelope's Blossom stamp set - also loving the the tone on tone background stamp from MFT .

The sentiment is from Pretty Pink Posh and it just wraps up a simple card.

bright, but also blending in

more lawn fawn snowflakes, but that bright is just double sided tape cut and covered with glitter for this really subtle look

purple, rhymes with murple

another christmas card, and more tone on tone stamping, but this time it has been lots of smaller stamps, everything is lawn fawn

remember that promise...

despite my best intentions to keep up with my christmas cards I've done nothing since february... now the rush begins

using another of the winnie & walter dies stamped tone on tone with an mft stamp, the snowflakes are lawn fawn

splats intended

making the most of all of those coloured ink pads I've gathered over the last year and using this fun ink splat card from wplus9 - with cards like this I positively feel adventurous

glitter & gems

I am so pleased with this card, my glitter tape background is magical and the perfect setting for the MFT butterfly, I even like my scattering of gems, its nice when a card come together as well as you had hoped

bad light, naughty light

sorry about the bad photo, but there was just a few minutes for me to get my completed card entered to Birka's birthday blog hop... it required pink!!!

MFT zig zag die and SSS sentiment is the key to a fun card.

friends from down under

These are images I coloured so long ago I fussy cut them because it was before I had the matching die... it also means they were coloured in promarkers (and not my more usual copics) because it was before I even bought my first comic marker...

cat in the box

Pushing myself with some new colouring sets and stamps from neat and tangled, a company I haven't   got many stamp sets from, but there was something about this cutie I couldn't resist, and since it is the daily marker 30 day colouring challenge I did one of those 'colour everything and photograph it on the stamp set things' that I see and like so much.

The pop up is a lawn fawn die

can an octopus feel embarrassed?

Still loving all of my under the sea sets from lawn fawn... and even managing white highlights to give my cuties some dimension

birthday fishes

another mixed sentiment from lawn fawn - I've taken a pair of scissors to the 'best fishes' sentiment to make it easier to stamp - only lawn fawn on this one

stating the obvious

another card using mostly lawn fawn critters down under, but that amazing comic book style sky is a super cute altenew set of circle stamps

this card is jawsome

ok this sentiment is just the best...

and my cute little fishy card with the party hat and balloon is one of my favourite cards in ages

lawn fawn - duh-nuh, fintastic friends, year four, hat's off to you

out of this world pop up

Jane's birthday always calls for a space card and this year's card is extra special and is my very first pop up box card - I've even got floating objects using little bits of acetate...
