Giraffe slider card with distress ink background Tuesday 22 January 19

Hi again all you lovely people,

As they say here in Northern Ireland,"What's the craic?" lol which basically means how the heck are you???

I'm recovered from my flu (apart from my sinuses) and Thor my cat's doing really well so I'm feeling hopeful today that his leg is ok and no further treatment is needed!  He broke his leg in two places and dislocated his hip, he's had an operation and loads of bandage treatment so I'm hopeful it will all come to an end and he won't lose his leg, as he's getting around great and running after pumpkin (our minature chihuahua).  Anyway lets get down to business and talk about today's card.



It's such a fun card, I've seen loads of cards where there's an item that slides across and they're made with dies so as I'm trying to just "use what I've got" so I made one without buying any dies.

Check out my youtube channel for all the details.

Tuesday 28 August 18 Lawn Fawn Hay there card stamps and dies with Tonic mousse bacground.

 Hi there everyone,

I'm back today with card that I just couldn't resist making.  I'm really into cute atm so I had to buy these Lawn Fawn Hay there stamps (and quite a few others oopsy!!! you'll see them soon).

I created my background with some Tonic Embellishment mousse in Cornflower blue, Aquamarine and Lemon Sorbet.  I put some on my glass mat added water and smooshed the watercolour card on top.

I made two pieces so I could die cut some wth the Lawn Fawn grassy border dies.

I coloured the images while I was on hols with some watercolour pencils and a blender pen.

The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn Simple Sentiments.


The card base is an A6 4 1/8 x11 1/2 scored at 5 3/4.  The background paper is an old one from my stash.  I layered the paper onto my card base then I die cut some grassy borders from one of my mousse pieces.

I layered my scene onto the other piece and cut it to 3 1/4 x 4.  When I was happy I stuck it all down with glue and layered it onto p piece of white card 3 1/2 x 4 1/4.

I hope you like my latest creation.

Till next time
