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.

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

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.

my girl

I've collected many many feet of patterned papers and I'm making an effort to use at least a few of them up. These papers are from American Crafts My Girl collection.

Dies are from Lawn Fawn and MFT with a punch from Martha Stewart.

a funny feeling in my stomach

I seem to be using a lot of layering stamps recently - making the most of the quite large collection of mini ink cubes that I've accumulated. I don't feel I've done a bad job matching the colours to this dear Lizzy paper either.

All stamps are from MFT.

The good thing about collecting lots of mini ink cubes is you can make such pretty cards.

The stamps are two sets from MFT finished with a few sparking clear sequins.     

haven't I seen that before?

It's been a couple of weeks since I posted a card because I've been busy sewing and mending, but I liked the previous card so much I tried to emulate it here in other colours, I used the MFT inks from cube set 16 (I love ink cubes so much, so many colours in such a little space) Persimmon, Spearmint, and Lemon Chiffon.

The dies are again Hero Arts with a die from Mama Elephant. This time I didn't have the perfect colour and so I coloured some silver glitter with a comic marker.

make it a good one

this is my 900th post! so I'm please I like this card

if I could do it all again

The whole point of this card was to try colouring with my prismacolors on Kraft, but there are a million things I would have done differently if I could do it al again

totally tropical

When you find a pink tropical print card you just have to pair it with a flamingo.

they called it mellow

attempting a one layer card and failing spectacularly

I am loving these multi layer stamps though

love quickutz

american crafts dear lizzy paper with dcwv card

clumsy friendosaurus

Using all sorts of greenery from lots of different Lawn Fawn sets to create some scenery for this friendosaurus who wouldn't blend in no matter how much greenery there was.

I quite like the texture I've managed to colour on this critter but it is his cute tiny hat that really makes me smile.

I have to say the sentiment banner isn't too bad - I dropped a stamp and it became an emergency coverup... 'nuff said...

like an onion I have layers

I've gone an bought myself some layering stamps!

I need a bit more depth of colour, but what is not to love <3

Stamps by  MFT & that Sentiment is from Stampin' Up! I must have had it years...

sun, sea and grass skirts

I have learnt that die cutting then stamping an image is not the way around I can naturally work... I've also learnt that RV04 is much brighter than I think.

I've coloured my polynesian dancer inspired by Sandy Allnock's #thehumanrainbow colourings
