You make my heart happy card and hello again!!

Hi everyone, can't believe it's been 3 1/2 years since I last blogged. Thought I'd start it up again.

I've still been creating and sharing bits on my Facebook page. A lot has happened since I last posted, I was quiet unwell in 2017 and needed surgery to sort out a condition I was going through. Then when I felt well I found out that I was pregnant. We now have a lovely little boy called Joshua. He's 2 1/2 years now. We've also moved house and have been renovating it. We're all done now thankfully.

Right now time to share the card I finished yesterday. This is made using a stamped image by Lee Holland Called With Love. It's produced by Crafter's Companion.

I love how cute and fun this image is. I think this range of stamps will soon become my new favourite stamps. I colured the image using my spectrum noir colourblend pencils.

The backing papers are digital ones I've had a while on my PC from Nitwit Collections.

I've mat and layered onto a 7x7" card base with the papers and lovely coloured cardstock too.

Finally I stamped one of the sentiments from the stamp sheet and also added 3 gems to the corner.

Mermaid Frame

Hello All I'm back again, This time to share a frame with you that I have created for my Niece. The image was coloured in using my Spectrum Noir markers using the May 17 Markers Class from Kit and Clowder. This is the first one of their classes I've done and I was overall I was quite happy with it but I know a few areas where I could improve. Right then here's the coloured image. The image is by Conie Fong and you can purchase them on Etsy. She has lots of other lovely images to choose from. Right then now for the completed frame. The frame started as a white frame which I painted with black gesso and then once dry added colour to it using dyna paints from pebeo and then some silver gilding wax. I then sprayed the frame to form a protective coating with Spray and Shine from Crafter's Companion. I love how it have turned out and hope that my niece will too.
