A scientist's crafty side
I blended Distress Inks in Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers and Seedless Preserves on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Neenah classic crest. I sprayed the ink blended panel with clean clear water and blotted it with tissue paper, then used Hero Arts Shimmer Mist in pearlescent white to resemble stars. On a separate… Continue reading Dream big card using Hero Arts stamps
So I did decide what to do with the lovely SSS embossed watercoloured panel and made it into a 6x6 card with some X cut adhesive glitter sheets and the sentiment from My Favorite Things 'More Essential Sentiments' white heat embossed on a little strip of black card. To add some more texture I added… Continue reading SSS watercolour panel update
Hi everyone! I've just watched the latest episode of Line of Duty on BBC1 - it's really gripping! On a completely different note, I wanted to quickly share what I've been up to, craft-wise, this weekend.

I thought I would try to share where my inspiration came from in this post, because I haven't shared a sketch or 'inspiration' picture in a while. I had this pin on Pinterest for its positive message and I thought it was gorgeous, then I got to thinking "Come on, you must be able to… Continue reading Niece’s Birthday card

The… Continue reading Football birthday card
Today is my cousin's birthday, so I'd like to share the card I've made for her with you this afternoon. I've been pinning LOADS of cards recently, and was so taken with them all that I lost my mojo.

My Step Mother lives in Hua Hin in Thailand, and so when I heard about the bombings on Friday I was fearful that she might have been injured or killed. Thankfully she was at home because the bombings were early in the morning so she wasn't out and about at the time. I wanted to… Continue reading Umbrella card
Today is my Granny's 96th birthday, so I wanted to share the card I made for her with you this evening. I've been loving all the white with a splash of colour cards I've seen on Pinterest, so this is my take on the look. I started out with the Creative Expressions 'Striplet - Floral… Continue reading Granny’s Birthday card
I love Gorguss by Santoro because it reminds me of my youngest niece, so this year I made her a card using the 'The Runaway' stamp set by docrafts. The main image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah Classic Crest card. I coloured it with my Specturm Noir pens. The horse's body:… Continue reading Niece’s birthday card
