Hi all
Still playing the the Tim Holtz platform with my stamps and I must say I am loving it so far.
Another card using my Altenew stamps. I am enjoying exploring all the different colour combination and this red one looks beautiful in real life. I am keeping a list of the colours I have used once I decide I like a colour combo, as I know I will forget what I have used lol.
On the embossed background I added a some Frosted glitterbitz to the center of the embossed flowers but it was quite hard to catch this in the photographs.
I went to a craft show at Sandown Park on Saturday.. well what a busy show that was. Create & Craft were filming there and there were a lot more exhibitors there this time round. The last time I attended was about 2 years ago it was ok but quite limited. I was very good and didn't spend too much. I added to my TH oxide collection and bought a SW die and some stamps from Honey Doo.
I hope you all have a great week, thank you for stopping by.

Hi all
I hope you all have had a good week. What a day yesterday with the weather I don't think it stopped raining all day.. plus we had snow.
For Christmas I was lucky enough to receive Tim Holtz stamping platform, and I have been having a play with it using my Altenew layering stamps.
This is the first card I created using the beautiful day stamp set.
A very simple and clean card using a variety of purple inks. I added some glossy accents as pearl drops and the sentiment is from Phill Martins chalkboard collection.
Well I am another year older today... although I still feel 21 lol...
Yesterday I celebrated with the family and we all went out for a lovely lunch. I met my friend for lunch today it was great to see her and catch up.

Hi all
I had a play with with some inks and stamps and I then created this card for my friends birthday.
I had die cut an oval and used the aperture to ink through with Colour Cloud Frosty Aqua ink.
I then used a Woodware script stamp that I had for a while but never used. I stamped it in a grey ink and then over-stamped this with a Kanban rose stamp in black archival.
I created a frame for the rose image from Sue Wilson dies in black gloss card.
The background strip was made from the inner die from SW Jennifer die. I backed this with a piece of aqua card that had self adhesive on it which I then spread glitterbitz over. ( i am not sure if you can see the sparkle in the photos) I mounted this in to the embossed card which I completed with my pearl PVA glue
I hope every one is keeping well. The boiler has blown up at work so its freezing - we have blowers and heaters but it is still cold. It is being replaced on Thursday and I have just seen the weather and its predicting SNOW !!

Hi all
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Here is my first card of the year using Sue Wilson Intermediate die, which I purchased just before Christmas.
This is my first attempt at using this die and I must say I am quite pleased with the result.
I framed the weave with SW noble die collection and made a flower with Spellbinders cinch and go flowers, which I then sugared in Glitterbitz.
I was lucky enough to receive Tim Holtz stamping platform for Christmas - I have yet to use it, I hope to have some time at the weekend.
I have had my knitting needles out the last few weeks, which haven't seen the light of day for over 10 years lol.. my sister in law has me helping her knitting bonding squares for the local hospital. I must say I am really enjoying it and had forgotten how much like to knit. My daughter has already asked me to make a tea cosy for her.. Once it is completed I will show a picture of it.. but I have to start it first hopefully it will be this month.
