Owls and a flowery birthday

Hi All, sorry I've been a bad blogger this past while and I've had no mojo either, but when these lovely stamps popped through my letter box I couldn't help myself but get stampy! :)

I used my giraffe print stencil and some purple chalk for my BG, and also added some purple paint splatters.  Then came some sequins, silver star and some bling, followed by a doodled border.
For my critters, I added some Spectrum Noir sparkle to the kite and clear gloss to their eyes.


My second card uses a well-used oldie from Lili of the Valley.  I've coloured her with watercolour pencils and added Spectrum Noir sparkle to her flower and butterfly.   For a change my little punched butterflies aren't actually covering a smudge ;)

A Tabby cat, or not?

For day 2 of the Daily Marker colouring challenge I was going for the tabby cat look here - I should have googled a picture before I started ;)  He was a bit too yellow at first, and then was too orange, so there's about 3 other brown shades here too to tone him down a bit!

My Kitty is from Eat Cake Graphics
2016-G Kitty Sebastian has very long whiskers
Coloured with watercolours.
Couldn't get a decent pic of this tonight, I'll try again tomorrow.  I might add a doodled border, it looks like it needs 'something'.

Some personalised cards ...

The Daily Marker colouring challenge is back ... I was able to keep up for the 30 days last time, so we'll see how I go this month!

I was asked to make a card for a girl who loves farm animals and horses, so this MFT set was perfect for the job!  Don't ya love it when that happens :)
Coloured with watercolour pencils and some Spectrum Noir sparkle added as highlights.  My little flowers were part of a candy win from Simon Says Stamp.




And here's one my very talented nephew made for his Mum, I reckon she'll love it!

A CASEd Butterfly

Phew busy day today!  I washed the dog (she wasn't happy about it!), washed her towels and bedding, then washed the bathroom, washed the floors, washed the car, and it was a good drying day so got loads of laundry done too!  The ironing mountain has been rebuilt hurrah! (boo really!)

Anyway, it's not very often I would share a CASEd card, but this one has been in my head since Patti Stationery Styles shared it on her blog.   If you haven't visited Patti's blog before you should definitely go visit!
My card uses a butterfly from Marianne Designes.  I didn't have the matching base die, so just used my diecut as a template and cut round it.  Couldn't resist adding the usual paint splatters and a few sequins.  Oh and I covered my white die cut with Spectrum Noir clear sparkle.

I wonder are all Patti's super talented? ;)  My other bloggy buddy Patti J Cherish Each Precious Day has just designed the most beautiful floral set.  Go you Patti!!

Boats and Blooms

I was very lucky recently to win some surprise candy from Simon Says Stamp and this lovely nautical DP was part of my package :)
I've used an oldie sailboat from High Hopes and a load of dies .... Lawn Fawn clouds, Simon Says Stamp sentiment, not sure where my wiggly line die is from.
Boat coloured with watercolours, Spectrum Noir sparkle added to the sun on the sail, and clear gloss to the darker cloud on the sail.
Red and blue sequins and some clear bling to finish.

My second card uses these lovely flowers from Power Poppy.   coloured with watercolour pencils - Spectrum Noir sparkle added to the blooms and clear gloss to the flower centres.
White photo frame popped up on dimensionals.
Doodled border.  Green pearls from stash.

KittieTastic

Wow, 1st of July already!  Wish someone would tell our weather it's summer, we'd a mad hailstone shower earlier, it was more like a winter's day at times!  Anyway, just a quickie post, it's movie night here and I've the gorgeous Cillian Murphy to oogle for an hour or two ;)

For this card I've used an MFT set - coloured with watercolour pencils.  I popped the top of their heads up on dimensionals and then glued the bottom.  I also added clear gloss to the little mouse.
I hadn't intended the 'purr' sentiment, but I managed to go over the edge when I was drawing the black line and needed a cover up.

Anything Goes at Naughty or Nice

This month's challenge for Naughty or Nice is an easy one ... anything goes!
We'd love to see your nice cards, and we'd even more love it if you shared your naughty ones ;)

My project this month is part of an ongoing pressie to my Mum (I wasn't organised enough last Christmas to make an entire year's calendar LOL)


As you can see, I can neither stamp nor write in a straight line ;)
My dancing monkeys are an oldie stamp from Stampendous and my leaves are from High Hopes.  I chalked in the BG with an MFT giraffe print stencil to make it look more 'jungly'.
