Taking a Break

No, not me ... that's what my stamp's called ;)
Though I think my Mojo's definitely on a break, so I've been a good girl and have tidied my stash to try and get it into some sort of order.  How did I ever end up having that much STUFF?!!

Stamp from High Hopes new release - Taking a Break - coloured with watercolour pencils and clear gloss added to his hooves and horns.  The sentiment is an older HH stamp - Herd Birthday

My card uses Garden Fence, and was an absolute pleasure to colour!

Xmas card #01 !!!!!

Ha, yes you read that right!  Now that I don't have to make Christmas cards, I find myself missing my snowflakes and sparkle!

I'd been trying to get my mitts on these MFT stamps before Christmas but couldn't find them in stock, but sure they will be handy for next year's cards.  Usual statement follows ..... I'm not going to leave everything till the last minute this year blah blah blah ;)
We'll see!

Coloured with watercolour pencils, stickles added to the reindeer's nose, and Santa's buckle and hat.  Paper Smooches snowflake dies double mounted so they stood out a bit, and some bling added to the centre.  Still nice and flat though for postage :)

Hope you'll stop by tomorrow if you get a chance ... there's some High Hopes candy to be won!

High Hopes New Release Peek Day 1 - Ladybug Love

We have a new artist in the house at High Hopes - Dina Gerner - so we've all been playing with our new stamps!  Pop over to High Hopes blog for more peeks - we'll be showing off the new release all this week and then there will be candy to be won on a hop on Thursday, so I hope you'll join us!

Oh and by the way, High Hopes have a DT call on until 31 Jan - you don't need to use High Hopes stamps to make the team as you'll be provided with any stamps you need. 

My image is called Ladybug Love (available to purchase on Thursday) - I've coloured her with watercolour pencils and then added some white enamel dots to her wings, and black stickles to her nose and antennae and orange stickles to the flower centre.  I hadn't intended to add sequins, but I ended up with a splodge that needed hiding ;)

Butterfly Birthday

Well here we are, January again ... not a chocolate nor drop of drink left in the house! Good job there's plenty of room in my new onesie, definitely need a major cut in calories!

This card uses a cute butterfly from The Alley Way Stamps.  I'd coloured it differently and then decided I didn't like it, so coloured another and fussy cut it out - I've stuck the body down flat and then the wings are popped up on dimensionals, so you can see a touch of the old colour underneath.  My pretty DP was bought in the January sales - from My Mind's Eye.
Wish I'd stamped my sentiment more in line with my banners though, I'd just touched the paper with it when I thought of it, ah well :(
