Thinking of You Butterfly

Hello my crafting friends, sorry I am a bit late posting, I hope this finds you all well, lots of hugs to those who need them.

Now I decided to play again today, get a bit messy like we crafters do and whilst I had some colours on my glass mat I came across an old stamp of a Butterfly so I painted the colours onto the butterfly and stamped it onto water colour card and this was the result, a bit wishy-washy but I liked it.

I was playing with some Lumin Art mica powders, not brilliant but I got an image and rather than waste it I turned it into a card adding the sentiment at the bottom with Peacock Feathers DI.

A few self adhesive pearls in each corner finished the card.

Items Used:

White Hammered card
White Water Colour Card
Creative Expressions Butterfly Stamp
Lumin Art Mica Powders Various colours
Creative Expressions Friendship Stamps
Tim Holtz Distress Ink Peacock Feathers

Thank you for looking, Jacquie xxx

Holly Wreath & Reindeer

Morning my crafting friends, hope today finds you all safe and well? We are having some glorious weather down here in the South East at present so lets hope we all have a good summer.

Thank you all for your kind remarks about my back, its getting a little better, unfortunately I do have a lot of spinal problems for life which I wont bore you with but this is the first time its played me up since my op last year, I think it was through doing some filing at work on Friday, the bending & twisting must have put it out! I have been resting it as much as possible so it is feeling better, thank you all again. I will be resting plenty over the next six weeks of school holidays lol!

Another Christmas card for you today, this set was from Clarity Stamps which consisted of the Holly Stencil and the Reindeer Stamp, I stamped the reindeer image using TH Vintage Photo then painted in the reindeers roughly, painting between the antlers with TH Forest Moss.

For the Holly Stencil I used Luminarte Radiant Rain, this dried to give a lovely sheen on the leaves, then I die cut out all the Berries and Holly leaves for the corners and put all these into place. I added some Red Gems for the Reindeer's noses and for the Berries in each corner before matting it onto hand made 7" X 7" Card.
