Sending Hugs

Card two and this time I used an old free stamp from a magazine.Unfortunately I have not kept the name of the stamp but it has definitely become one of my favourites.

The sky was made using HobbyArt's cloud stencil and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide. 

I used Mowed lawn Distress Oxide for the grass and then punched out two different size red circles, crumpled them and stuck them to the front of the card using PVA glue. A black dot in the centre finished them off.

The two figures were coloured in using ProMarkers.

You can see this same idea used in my Art Journal HERE. 

Happy Couple

Another layout for my memory album but this time using a more recent photo as the focal point and using a black and white photo of my parents wedding.

The background paper was amazing with colourful overlapping circles. The flowers were punched out of complimentary paper and shaped using a ball tool.

The title was cut from a scrabble paper so that everyone could choose their own titles to fit their layouts. 

That's about it for now but I'll be back with more soon xxx

Adorable

Loved using the pink and lime green together. I am not really a pink fan or lets say it wouldn't be my colour of choice but add it to another vibrant colour and I'm happy.

The scalloped edge was made using an XCut border punch

 and the nut shapes (top left and bottom right) are also from a punch

 The bow is handmade from paper and would be great on a card as well as a scrapbook page.

Again I've typed my wording on the computer, printed it out and then cut the sentences into smaller strips to fit on the page. The little tags were hand cut and pull out from behind the picture.

Tim Holtz Flower Die

So once I had made the card using these dies I was so pleased with the result that I decided to use them in a scrapbook class.

Now I am not a fan of yellow mainly because it is a colour I can never wear (makes me look all pasty faced) but in this case I think it really worked with the purple.
I stamped the background doily with a scrip stamp.

and the flowers I coloured in very simply with Pro Markers

and the layout was finished off with a Martha Stewart border punch. Enjoyed this one xx
