bonjour

I've ben trying spattering of watercolours... subtle, and I'm not entirely sure that I like it, but I've made a cute card with these adorable Lawn Fawn Gleeful Gardens stamps & dies.

A little late to the Wednesday party, but I'm addicting this to the Simon Says Stamp 'Anything Goes' Wednesday challenge... (on a monday...)

great chemistry!

I've been looking though my Lawn Fawn stamps looking for sets that I really love but haven't used much and found Science of Love. Being a chemistry lecturer at a university I just fell in love with the glassware in this set, and wanted it to be the feature of my card.

I have Stampin' Up inks from years ago when they had 1" cubes and it was an economical and space savvy way to get a lot of colours, and I used some of the brighter ones here and coloured the flasks in using copics.

The challenge this month at Seven Hills Crafts is to make a card with more than one fold... this worked really well for me because my mother has recently given me a copy of Tattered Lace magazine with a mini side stepper card included as the months die.

Now I'm not normally one for Tattered Lace as I find their dies fussy, but my mum knows me well and knows that I love mini cards, so I had a great time playing with this.

The images are all from Lawn Fawn (which I adore) and coloured using Copics.

hello watercolours, I'm late again....

I'm not being very productive at the moment, this is a card I started over a week ago for the Lawnscaping watercolour challenge... needless to say that challenge is missed, but here is the finished card.

eye think you're neat

I was messing around with my Tim Holtz Distress Inks trying different ways to make background and used some pre coloured cute little Lawn Fawn monsters to make up the card. I think the goggle eyes are just so cute.

I was honoured to have this featured a Fawny Flickr Friday pick on 22nd January.

christmas in january

I'm bad at not having enough time (or inclination) at Christmas to make my cards, so this year I wanted to start early to at leat get a few made.

I love this clean and simple card, and the Christmas die from Hero Arts is just the perfect font.

I'm trying to get myself back into creating after struggling for illness for the past six months, and the daring carmakers challenge this week put me in mind of  the stitched leaves dies from Lawn Fawn.

CAS-ual Friday's inspiration this week was snowflakes, nice and simple for this time of year.

I cut the Lawn Fawn stitched snowflakes from an acetate sheet and used it as a mask to ink on some old white ink, then I cut the wonderful 'Merry Christmas' from the Hero Arts from some glitter paper and decorated with a few Pretty Pink Posh sparkling clear sequins.
