Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.
I don't have any use for Halloween cards so I thought I would bring back and old Album I made quite a few years ago as newer followers would not have seen this.
Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.
Sorry I have been missing this month but it's been a bit of a hectic month with the Macmillan coffe morning at the begining of the month which we collected £172.95 a little down on previous years.
Also my Daughter has been on holiday from work and we have been going out together.
Had my covid jab also which made me feel ill for 36 hours.
Today I am posting my Rudolf Days Challenge card as it's not my month for DT so I can enter the challenge over at.
As always it's anything goes as long as it's Christmas.
The challenge runs till the end of the month and you could win a lovely prize too.
ONE ENTRY PERSON
but you can have multiples of cards on the one post if you like.
Here is my entry into this moths challenge.
These are 6"x6" size cards.
Both very similar but just changed the stamped image of the Robin on the branch slightly different on the second card.
All stamping was done by hand on the front of the cards and coloured in with Derwent water colour pencils.
The snow was done with bleed proof White Ink.
Just added a touch of stencilling to the edges of the cards with Distress Oxide Ink.
The stamp used was a freebie from a stamping magazine a few years ago when I used to subscibe to it.
Verse inside was stmped with a platform.
Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.
Well this month I have done more posting than most of the year.
On Tuesday was my DIL Birthday so this is what I made her for a change from my usual cards.
I created this scene with various Lavinia Stamps and a Lavinia Stencil.
The background I created with Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powders which I have had for quite a few years.
I edged my design with a black permenant marker instead of using a black card to matt it.
I added my verse after I photographed it.
I also stamped the envelope but forgot to photograph it.
All stamping was done by hand.
Thank you for your visit and precious time.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.
Wasn't the funeral a very moving day of events I for one was glued to the TV.
So very sad and moving all the once in a life time memory for most of us.
Today I have a masculine card for a change.
This I made for my BIL who plays golf every day with his brother since my sister passed away in 2016.
So glad he still has his brothers to help him get over the loss of my sister as they were married for many years my sister was 16 and my BIL was 18 when they got married in 1960.
His other brother lives in Belfast and has a child who competed in Ice Skating to a very sucessful level too and won lots of trophies as well.
It was funny as my sisters and I were a family of 3 girls and she married into a family of 3 boys.
This is a 8"x8" size card.
The card stock is from Hunkydory and didn't need much else as the card stock says it all.
Just added a green holographic
matt layer.
Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friend.
Been playing with my Lavinia stamps again.
My youngest Son and his wife had an Anniversary last Friday and on Saturday held a barbecue for all the family and it was lovely to all get together again.
The weather wasn't too bad and ended up staying till very late as everyone was enjoying chatting to each other.
My Daughter in Law made a yummy plum bakewell for afters as they have a plum tree in their garden.
Well as usual I digress so this is the card I made for them.
This is a 7"x7" size card.
I cut my card to 6.25 in size and put black permanent pen around the edges instead of mounting it on black card stock.
I inked the background with Distress Oxide Inks.
Then stamped Rory and Darcy with Versa Fine Onyx Black Ink.
I made a mask for my Sun and inked around it and then stencilled some hearts in it.
Then I stamped flowers and foilage stamps in different colour Versa Claire Inks to give it depth.
I also added a Blue Print Sketch DOI to the sedges to darken them and draw your eye into the centre.
Finally I added some posca white pen dots and some glitter pen to Rory and Darcy's wings and stems of foilage.
Last of all I Stamped Rory and Darcy on the envelope.
All the stamping was done by hand and no stamp platform was used.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.
I was so saddened by the news on hearing it late Thursday evening about our beloved Queen, I remember celebrating her Coronation when I was just 4 years old.
If you have been folowing my blog for many years you would have seen the picture of me in a Coronation Cake outfit my Mother made for me to go to fancy dress ball.
I actually won first prize too.
This is the photo taken by the South Wales Argus of the first second and third.
My mother printed Westminster Abbey on my blouse I cannot imagine how she idid that in 1953 and then studded items around the cake skirt.
On the top was a the Royal Coach and Horses my mother bought to put on there, apparantly they are worth a lot of money now.
Don't know what happened to mine I most proberly played with it and broke it.
Here is acloser picture of my outfit and the cake.
Thank you so much for sharing my memories.
I really appreciate every vist and wonderful comments you make.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.
Today I have a couple of Christmas cards I made out of card left over from other Christmas cards I made.
So I thought I would stamp these and use up the card that was left over.
I had some A6 cards in Ivory in my drawer that I keep my card stock in so they fitted perfectly on them.
I just cut one inhalf to make the vertical tent fold one.
I used a stamp I had as a freebie from a stamping magazine a few yearsago with red pigment ink.
The sentiment stamp used on the first ard is a Woodware one and the sentiment stamp used on the second card is a Inkylicious Stamp.
Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.
We had a thunder storm and some heavy rain last night.
It was much needed in my area of Kent as my grass in the garden looks dead and my Daughter hasn't had to cut the grass all summer this year so far.
Sometimes my Son does it and sometimes my Daughter does as my garden slopes to the side and bottom of the garden and I can't manage the lawn mower any more because of the slopes.
Today I have a card I made for my Daughter's Birthday back in the begining of July.
The lovely glittery ombre paper is from Craft Artist from C&C.
I decided to attach part of some lace I had in my stash to the back of the oval die cuts.
The oval dies are from Crafts Too and bought from Amazon.
I used some lace daisies with some bling for the centres.
The Happy Birthday die is a Sue Wilson one and typed sentiment is fron a Hunkydory book of typed sentiments bought from Amazon.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.
I do hope you all have something nice planned for the weekend.
Been having a play again with my Lavina Stamps and inks this morning.
A few years ago I promised myself to do more stamping cards and never did it.
So hopefully I will rectify this now.
I inked my cardwith DOI Rustic Wilderness/ Spiced Marmalade/
and Fossilized Amber making sure I used a mask for my sun.
I then stamped all around the card with first and second generation stamping with my Lavina Snow Shrub and Falling Ivy stamps in Versa Fine Clair Ink in the colour of Shady Lane.
I then spritzed it with water and my fan brush.
I stamped my Pixies in Versa Fine Onyx Black and highlighted their wings with a glitter sakura gel pen sprinkled some fairy dust with the pen also.
Thank you so much for your vist and precious time.

Hi and welcome to all my very talented and craft loving friends.
I have recently be buying some new stamps and have been having a play with them.
This card is made with Lavina Stamps, and all the stamping was done by hand.
I have been watching Jo Rice on You Tube to help with my fear of stamping and inspiration.
I was quite pleased how this turned out for my first attempt.
I inked my card with DOI in the colours of Faded Jeans/ Mermaid Lagoon/ and Broken China.
Then I spritzed it with my water fan shaped brush.
I also used a spray bottle with pearl mica mist and water in it, but it doesn't show up on camera.
Then I stamped the Lavina Snow Shrub stamp in first and second generation stamping with Versa Fine Ink.
I then stamped the Lavina Stamp Small Pixies in the sky and added some Sakura Glitter pen to their wings and some small dots as their Fairy Dust.
As these stamps are Nbus I am trotting off to Darnells to enter Nbus challenge.
The type written sentiment was from a Hunkydory Book of type written sentiments.
I have also made a Christmas one similar to this one and added a moon as I thought that was missing on this one will show on the Rudolf Challenge next month for my DT.
