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. 2025 - Now due to my sore hands and bad eyes I make mostly digital cards and scrapbook pages.

My Time to Craft 508 - dry embossing

 My Time to Craft 508 - dry embossing
http://mytimetocraftchallenge.blogspot.com/

I have made 2 cards


Card 1:  I painted white card with twinkling H2O watercolour paints and dry embossed with free embossing folder that came with Australian Simply Cards magazine a few years ago and partly coloured with Watercolour pencils and water.
Stamped 3 of the fairies from Fairy Hugs FHS108 Condo Dwellers 2 (set of 6 fairies).
Stamped Fairy Hugs sentiment FHS199 Dance
Added dragonfly brad and layered all onto purple card


Card 2:  I painted white card with twinkling H20 paints and dry embossed with Cuttlebug embossing folder from Magic Happens duo and partly coloured with Watercolor pencils and water.  Added glitter to fairy wings and fairy dust (though it doesn't show up in the scan).  Stamped Lavinia stamp LAV024 Fairy Dust is Like Love.
Layered all onto purple card.

My scanner is very old so the embossing doesn't show up very well.

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

I would also like to add my card to the following:
