About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.
Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.
I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.
The lovely banner was made especially for me by Amanda at Faery Ink Art & Design when I won her first blog challenge. family:";">http://faeryink.com/product/granmargaret-fairy-digital-stamp/

Fun Day Friday 201 - anything goes

Fun Day Friday 201 - anything goes
http://jwscrapshack.blogspot.com.au/
Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo who gave the design team some lovely stamps to use.
https://bugaboostamps.com/
I have lots of Bugaboo stamps so I used one of my favourites that I have had for a while.



I have layered Bugaboo digi stamp Pretty Fairy onto pink circle and then onto hot pink scalloped circle and then onto pattern paper which I cut with scallop scissors.  The scanner doesn't show the correct colours of the circles and didn't show the paper very well you can't see the flowers on it.
Coloured the digi stamp with Copic markers and glitter pen.
The sentiment is from Bugaboo which I have had for a long time, I couldn't find it in the new shop.
Added ribbon, flowers and rhinestones.
Layered all onto hot pink card.

I hope you will go over to Fun Day Friday and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge.

I would like to add my card to the following:

I have done 2 journal pages in the journal I am making for my youngest grand daughter


Left page:  I coloured page with blue and green Ecoline Brush markers then sprayed with water.   Stamped grass stamp over the green.
Used moulding paste over rainbow & cloud stencil and unicorn stencil.
Painted over the rainbow and cloud with acrylic paints.  Sponged over the unicorn with distress ink.  (It doesn't show very well in the scan).
Painted edges of page with purple ink.
Printed precoloured We are 3 digi stamp Fantasy Unicorn Princess, cut out and layered on top.  (a coloured and a black and white digi both come in this set)
Printed We are 3 sentiment from Smiles sentiment set onto paper from We are 3 Fantasy paper set, cut in half and layered on top.
Right page:  Painted page with purple acrylic paint.  Painted over star stencil with a mixture of moulding paste and white paint.
Drew extra stars and dots with white gel pen.
Printed We are 3 precoloured Fantasy Unicorn Queen and precoloured Sandcastle onto paper from We are 3 Toasty Warm paper set.
Sponged torn edges of paper with distress ink and layered on top of page.
(I need a lot more practice with stencils, the stars are a bit messy.)

I hope you will go over to Not Just Cards and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge.
