Pink Love Birds


This tag is for the challenge at DragonsDream Tag It On 

Stamps : 'Swirly Birds' by Lindsay Mason for Personal Impressions and  'Strings of Bling' by U-Mount at Creative Expressions - the perfect stamps for this challenge as they're both swirly and spotty!

Inks used : Brilliance 'Twilight' and 'Pearlescent Orchid' and Archival Ink 'Carnation'.

Note the two love birds especially for Frankie !!!

There's a Fairy at the Bottom of my Tag


For the challenge at DragonsDream Tag It On.

Background done with  Starburst Stains splashed on gloss laser paper with a large brush and then swooshed around using a compressed air spray, stamped with some flourishes in Versafine 'Majestic Blue' and Brilliance Ultimate Metallic 'Teal', sprayed with silver glitter varnish,a piece of torn vellum added and sprayed again.

The fairy was created with elements from Lisa's Altered Art and I threaded some tiny glass beads on to some wire with a little metal heart on the end which had also been sprayed with glitter.

Doll's House

I googled paper doll images for this Victorian Lady (at least I think she's a lady; but appearing in public in her underwear might say otherwise!)

Script Butterfly


I've made this little card for the Pink Elephant Challenge #7.

The base is an A6 black card.

I ran some red card through my cuttlebug using the 'Floral Fantasy' embossing folder and highlighted the embossing with Brilliance 'Galaxy Gold'.

The butterfly, from a set by Elusive Images 'Butterfly Daisy Collage' was stamped in Versafine 'Onyx Black' on white card layered on to gold card with a border of black paper cut with a Martha Stewart punch.

The final touch was three black gems from my stash.

I am Woman


This ATC is for the challenge at My Time To Craft which is 'Woman'

I used a stamp by Grunge Gallery Art Stamps from Once Upon a Stamp with Brilliance 'Peacock' ink. This is the first time I've used one of these multi-colour ink pads and I've no idea whether I used it correctly! The edges were distressed with Distress Ink 'Shabby Shutters'.

I finished it off with a button and some thread from my stash.

Two challenges in one day!


There'll be no stopping me now.

This card is for a challenge on the Joanna Sheen forum to make a card with a stamped background.

I used a pair of Agapanthus stamps by Stampendous for this one with Versamark and White Detail embossing powder for the background on amethyst coloured card and Brilliance 'Victorian Violet' for the image on white card which I fixed with four differently coloured brads. The card is finished with a fancy lilac ribbon.

Roll on the next challenge!
