Grave keeper tag

Hi everyone,

Halloween makes are always fun.

Here is a fun tag created with Distress sprays, some crackle paste and a stencil.

I started by applying the crackle paste through the stencil.

Once dry I added the sprays.

The pumpkin was stamped and then coloured with Distress watercolour pencils.

I added some Idea-ology pieces and that completes my tag.

Thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Happy Spring

Hi everyone,

Well today is the first day of Spring and I have a couple of cards to share with you using the Farm Life stamp set from the new Rain or Shine release from https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/collections/rain-or-shine

For my first card I stamped the barn and coloured with Copic markers. 

Masked off the barn and then blended the background with Distress inks.

I then stamped all the cute little farm animals and coloured with Copics.

Added a grass die cut border and foam mounted the animals.

The background for my scene was created with a stripe stencil and Distress inks.

For my second card I used a cloud stencil and Distress ink to create the background.

I embossed the piece with a large postage die.

I stamped the cute ducks and used Distress watercolour pencils to colour them in and also the background of each.

I used a postage die set to cut them out.

Stamped the sentiment and embossed with white embossing powder.

Well that’s it for my cards today and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Trio of ATC’s

Hi everyone,

I have never made an ATC before but thought I would give it a try. It’s quite challenging to me to a lot in a small space. Well I had fun and maybe this is a new crafty venture for me. Who knows 🤔 

Started by adding a little colour to the backgrounds with Distress Watercolour pencils.

I then added a stencil to each with Grit paste and sprayed on some Distress spray stains.

Below are close up photos 

Well that’s it for my Trio of ATC’s. Stay tuned for more maybe 😘 and thanks for stopping by 🙏🏻❤️
