the 1st one is made using the new honey and hugs stamp and the capsule collection heather paper.the sentiment also comes with the owl stamp.i stamped the owl onto patterned papers and decoupaged his beak, tummy and wings.a bit of faux stitching and 3 spotty buttons and voila.

a close up of the owl sitting on my hand drawn swirly thingy, its naff ain`t it but hey a girl can but try.lol.

on to no2 which is made using the build a rose stamp set of which £2 of the price goes to cancer research, stamped onto patterned paper and then layered up with a little pink brad holding it all together.i used pink card, some paper from the mono capsule paper pad and my martha stewert punch.some more faux stitches and a hero arts sentiment.simples.xx

a close up of the rose, i curled the petals a little to give it more dimension.

and no3.again using the build a rose stamp, stamped onto papers from the goody bag with a glitter brad centre.panel of olive card with a piece of paper from the goody bag, ribbon and bow also from the goody bag.a hero arts sentiment to finish.

morning everyone, i hope you are all well and warm.its certainly very cold at the moment.well i have 3 new cards to share with you today, you can always tell when my hubby is working nights because i make more cards.lol.i seem to craft better when hubby is at work and my little man is in bed.i always sit in front of the radiator at my table with the cat at my feet and the tv on for a bit of background.so the mojo was in full swing last night.i made the 1st 2 cards and then was going to tidy away when the 3rd card just popped into my head and i thought mmmm lets do it.its not my usual style but i think its my fav.anyhow enough waffling from me, here they are......

card no 1 is a little tilda one and ain`t she so sweet.i used coredinations card and punched the corners with my woodware inverted punch.then a yummy blue k&co paper with the corners inverted again and a bit of faux stitching.the gingham paper is from my stash, i`ve had it forever so not sure who its by, i punched the edge with an ms punch.i found the little gingham heart in my stash too.tilda was coloured with promarkers and again corners punched and faux stitching and finally a personal impressions sentiment.

a close up of tilda.


on to card no 2.i used those mme papers again, some really yummy papers in them and i inked all edges with black ink.the image is coloured with promarkers and corners inverted.i embossed a piece of white bazzill card with the swiss dots cb folder and then cut in a circle.the sentiment is from the mme stamp set and a few assorted buttons from my stash.

a close up of the image, i love her hair.

and finally card no 3, this is the one that popped into my head.it was really quick to make and i really like it.lol.i used a sqaure card blank.i used my rollagraph to stamp the leaf design in black and i mounted into onto grey papermania card.again using those yummy mme stamps i created the flower by layering the different sized stamps.i stamped them onto mme papers.the leaves were done the same.a hero arts sentiment and a few papermania gems to finish, simples.

a close up of the flower, i used 3d pads to give it some height.

thankyou so much for popping by my little cluttered corner and for any comments you may wish to leave.i`ve just been blog hopping and have to say you are all a massive source of inspiration.take care all and keep safe and warm.ttfn.luv coops.xx
