I have been playing with these lovely LOTV stamps again today, shrinking them seems the best option for me at the moment, I think they are a bit large for the kind of cards that are doing it for me!! I didn't bother with the copics, on shrink plastic it's just too hard to stay away from the stamped image. So I used my Sakura stardust pens, watered down they are just right for colour intensity and a little sparkle.

It was watching Kay Carley on C&C that gave me that little gem, Thank you Kay!

The papers are from Papermania, the Honey and Hugs range, they are lovely and fresh colour combinations.

I have been playing with shrink plastic and together with these very cute stamps from Lily of the Valley I had a whale of a time, such good fun!! I found using copic ciaos was a challenge but they gave good coverage, if I was very careful near the stamped image. These babies now have very strange skin tones, I need to practice !!!!!!!

So..........................................here's the baby boy version:-)

Two posts on the same day, I must be losing it , I hear you say, you could be right but I'm not sure where this picture went I uploaded 2 photos originally and this went off into cyberland. So here it is again!  

I have a lot to learn about blogging I think;-)


The stamp is from Inkadinkadoo and I love it's cheeky nature (it's not only coffee I like,  you see!). What better way to celebrate?
I recently bought some florists ribbon, fell in love with the colour and texture, it reflects light in very interesting ways. Yes,  even showing up how I wasn't very careful sticking it down;-(
The coloured paper is Basic Grey, Lime Ricky,  totally yummy colours!

Inspired? Oh yes!!

Hello, it's great to be back, making cards and sharing. Had some lovely comments, how lucky am I? Thank you Kay and Emily. 

These stamps are  from the master, Tim Holtz,  his stamps are amazing, that's all I've used I needed nothing else but I need to play a bit more to see what else I can come up with, loads of fun there!!
