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.

More Mixed Media - orange

 More Mixed Media - anything goes with optional orange - use a little or a lot
http://moremixedmediachallenge.blogspot.com/


The paint I used is a bright orange but it looks a bit brown on the scan.
I brayered the orange paint onto my new geli plate. Put Fairy Hugs stencil Pebble Beach over top and then pressed onto journal page.
Sponged with Mowed Lawn distress ink.
Stamped Fairy Ink stamps FHS041 Azalea, FHS139 Believing and FHS201 Flutter Dust  with Versafine Clair ink and heat embossed with Wow Clear Hologram sparkle embossing glitter.  Added some green glitter.
Drew flowers and tree with markers.

I hope you will go over and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge.  You could win some of Lozzy's lovely papers.
