Hedgehugs and Kisses

Good morning folks, and welcome to October, I hope you have had a good weekend, and managed to fit some crafty time in.

Today's card was made using the stamp set Autumnal Treasures, from Issue 60 of Creative Stamping magazine.

I stamped the hedgehog and leaves onto plain white card with Versamark ink, and heat embossed it with Wow Parissa Embossing Powder. This powder has lots of different colours in it, including bronze, silver, and gold. So very autumnal.

I cut myself a mask from a post-it note and then blended a background using, Wild Honey, Fossilized Amber, and Tea Dye, Distress Oxide Inks, which I then splattered with water and a bit of gold glimmer mist.

I coloured the image with Copic Markers, and cut the panel out with a stitched rectangle die from MFT, before adding a heat embossed sentiment on dark brown card.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

A smoke free zone

Happy Monday!  The start of another busy week but also the start of another year for Jen as a non-smoker.  Yyyeeeeeaaaaahhhhh!!!

One year ago today Jen decided to quit smoking and in spite of it being a tough time, especially as her health hasn't been brilliant, she has stuck too it.

I wanted to make her a card just to say congratulations and tell her how very proud I am of her for her success.  I know how hard it is and she has done exceptionally well.

The bunting across the top of the card is made using our one of our recent purchases from La La Land and the letters are from a Tim Holtz alphabet die called Carnival.

I thought these paper colours were quite autumnal and the blustery image is in keeping with the weather here at present.

The image is one I've had printed for a while but coloured with Promarkers when we were in Scotland two weeks ago.

The flower is a rose quilling die.  I cut it twice and layered the two colours to make this flower.  I need more practice but it didn't turn out too badly.

Hope you like my card, and that you will join me in wishing my little sister continued success.  Well done Jen xx
