Kitty wishes

 I was playing with some background colours and made a couple of cards.
The first one uses an image from Newton's Nook called Newton's happy mail


My image is coloured with copic markers. 
I tried to make the cats face look like stripy markings, I almost got it right.  A bit more practice will do the trick.
The image was cut out on my "new to me" scan n cut.
Not sure of the cloud colour, a little too green toned.
The cloud and grass dies are from Lawn fawn.
Copics used 
Cat - E31, E35, E57
Mail box - W1,W3,W5
Flag- R05.R17,R46
Post - E15,E25, E37

Mix It Up Challenge #60 Anything Goes plus optional Clean & Simple

 Hi, pretty exciting day today... my first post as part of the mix it up challenge DT.

Our theme this month is, as always, anything goes but you can add the option of clean and simple.
I am going to be honest and say that I really struggled with this theme, oh boy, totally not my wheelhouse!

But I pulled it together in the end, with the gold splashes probably not strictly clean, but I do love a bit of bling!

The stamp if from Waffle Flower and is called "violet and primrose"
The sentiment is a die that I have had for yonks, I have lost the packaging so if anyone can enlighten me of the brand I would really appreciate it.  I have coloured my image with copics and it is stamped in my fav ink for colouring with markers memento.

Make sure you come along and play over at the challenge :)

Meeces, Mices.....

Super cute huh?
Love me some lawn fawn stamps and these little mice flying on the wind are pretty sweet.

I like how the border on this card turned out so I will be doing that again.
Also the cloud background on this one is on point!



I hand cut the images on this one as I don't have the matching die.
The set is called DANDY DAY and is available HERE


Thanks loads for visiting today :)

Watercolour Cuteness Overload!

OMG!!!!  Love how this turned out...

I don't really do a lot of watercolouring on cards  so I am thrilled at how this turned out.
I cut the holey part on my silhouette, as I have saved it as a file a while ago when I made a unicorn shaker card.
Then I marked where the holes were and stamped the images so it looked like they were peeping out.


The images are from Beary Good Friends from Avery Elle (AVAILABLE HERE) and I coloured them with some watercolour brush pens.

Here I am, back again.....

 Far out.... time just slips away huh!
So I have been laid up flu and before that all my family had it.... it is gross.
Please go out and get your flu jabs people! Save yourself!

Anyhow, I made this a few days before I got sick after seeing a rainbow stencil tutorial on insta, well I completely screwed mine up, but the actual stencilling was too cute not to incorporate into a card... so here it is.


Pretty simple but very cute.
Plus I used brads, which I haven't done in ages, so yay for using stash.

Lawn Fawn Card and popup set

If you follow my on facebook, then you will know that I LOVE Lawn Fawn!
I really love their large sentiment dies, they are the perfect start point for a card.
When I saw the spring release and saw the pop up platform, I was not that fussed.  Then I started seeing things posted (as you do) and decided to splash out and make the purchase.  I am really happy I did.

It is very easy to put together and quick, gotta like that.  
And really makes it look like you have spent hours making your popup.

I have to be honest and say this card and pop up combo took less than an hour.
And that was my first time using the die.





Along with the pop up die I used the Berry Special stamp set and large birthday die.
The papers are from a long time ago by cosmo cricket.

Hope you like the set,
thanks for popping by
