puppy stamps and stuff.

Thanks for all your comments about Poppy Dog.
She is all better now, back to being cheeky !

I have taken two days from work this week.
This working lark is seriously getting
in the way off my crafting time......

This is a long post.
So make yourself comfy!
Here are some of my makes.

This wee box came with flowers in it,
I can't remember which flowers it was....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


This box is decorated to match
a card I made earlier this week,
the flowers are Bo Bunny,
I have filled it with goodies,
and it will be posted to a mate
as soon as I get organised!

The wee bee brad is Poppicrafts
and the sentiment is See D Stamps.

This one is very different from
what I normally make.
But I like it.
The stamps are Stampin Up
I like the fact the centre
is just the buffed cards stock.
I used sukura pens to glitter the stamps.
I used the cuttle bug on the blue card stock.
The ribbon flower is made with Poppicraft ribbons,
I was thinking about entering it in the
competition over there to use ribbons
as the main feature, but I am going
to have another go at this challenge.

I am entering it in Cute Card Thursday
who want flowers on the cards this week.
ABC Challenge this week is
J for jagged edge.
I have tied wee knots in the ribbon on the left
and used that to hold the beads in place.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This one is not for any challenge.
The petals are vellum on
a punched out large flower.

I just love this new stamp of mine!
It is beautiful but I am struggling to colour it
as well as I would like.


I have tired a couple of ways now.
This card has it embossed with versamark
and then heat embossed with glittery black powder.
Then shaded it with grey pro markers.

It is perfect for Creative Card Crew's
Monochrome Madness.

A spoonful of sugar's challenge this week is
To use die's or punches.
I have used punches to cut the flowers
and my nesties to cut & emboss the matting.
The flowers are vellum and glitter card.
The wee sentiment stamps are again SU.

Beady Jan suggested that I tired stamping it
on black or dark card and then
embossing with silver or grey powder.

I tired but I think the stamp is to detailed.
But thank you Beady Jan for the idea.
Thanks to everyone who left me tips
and ideas about colouring in black.
it is a work in progress!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last one I promise!
Over at Just Christmas & Birthday cards
Janina has done a lovely sketch.
I have used a house mouse image
that Vanessa has sent to me.
The wee snowflake is is a See D Stamp,
used with silver ink.

The ribbon is also Poppicrafts .

OK, I am away to go see what you have all been up to.

Much love
