Happy Birthday......

I've made another tag for a 13th birthday and have used lots of gorgeous Whiff of Joy goodies!

The tag is WOJ 'Large Nested Tag Die-Light', I sprayed some Dylusions Ink Sprays and waited for it to dry and then stamped WOJ 'Spring Butterflies - Background Stamp'. Inked the edges of the tag and added some patterned paper, the round frame is WOJ 'Frames' stamp set, the sentiment is WOJ 'General Sayings 11' stamp set, large flower is WOJ 'Rolled Scalloped Flower' and then finished the tag off with sime Wild Orchid flowers and leaves.

Thank you for stopping by.

Something a little different........

I have been playing with something a little different, I pulled out my gesso and Distress Stains and this gorgeous set of Whiff of Joy stamps 'Frames'.

I scraped some gesso on, splatted some Distress Stain, waited for it to dry and then stamped this pretty frame.

Then finished the card with some Wild Orchid flowers, leaves, a butterfly and Prima alphas.

I think I still need lots of practice with mixed media but it was fun getting my hands a little messy! Thank you for stopping by.

Lime Tart Fun!

Today has been so hot! Now that the kids are in bed I am sitting quietly with the aircon on and colouring with my Copics - such fun!

But I have realised I have done it again, its the last day of the month and I haven't posted all my pics from my Lime Tart kit this month so grab a cuppa, I have quite a bit to share. I got to play with the Half Tart and loved it, had heaps of messy fun and just loved the fresh colours.

I also had a go at a 8.5 x 12 inch layout using this months sketch and I enjoyed that to!

Some hand stitching, pearls, washi, twine and mini rose for a delicate touch.

My gorgeous girl all dressed up for her dance concert.

Another layout with some messy fun!

Can't believe my 'baby' girl turned 11 this year and growing up to be such a precious young lady.

A closer look at texture paste, gesso, distress stains, mist and some muslin for added texture.

Layers and layers of gorgeous patterned paper.

Fussy cut some flowers for beautiful clusters and great stress relief to!

Cards which were so easy to whip up as this kit is packed with lots of yummy bits and pieces.

And a lovely little tin that I have altered.

A view from the top :)

And a close up of the gorgeous selection of flowers - wish my garden looked like this!
