Bathtime

Hello, I'm back with yet another coloured image today.

This time its the oh so cute Sarah Kay clear stamp Bath time.

She's been coloured with copics and I've used Kindy Glitz Gem Clear on the bubbles.

The die set I've used is the Marianne Creatables Oval Frames LRO235.

I've popped the image layer onto dimensionals so that I could slip the tag with the sentiment on it behind.

The pink flowers were also made from the same die set.

I'm entering my card into the Marianne Designs Divas Anything Goes Challenge.

and the StampARTic using Dies Challenge

Thank you for taking the time to stop by today.

Hugs.

Dogs

The longstanding campaign aims to raise awareness of the consequences of treating dogs as gifts or toys. Every year hundreds of thousands of children plead for the latest fad or top toy on the market, only to discard them a few weeks after Christmas when the novelty wears off. Unfortunately, the same perception is also apparent with dogs. We are continually seeking to change this.

"A dog is for life, not just for Christmas".

If you agree...copy and paste this into your blog....thank you x

Yippy yay

Hello,  I have another coloured image today its Nellie Snellens Jippy Yeah YORE007 clear stamp and I've coloured him with copics.

I've also used Spellbinders Circles and Lacey Circles.

The Martha Stewart Garden Trellis Border punch and a Fiskars star squeeze punch.

Papers are from Kaisercraft.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

Babette

It's been a while since I did some colouring with my copics, then Kaaren from FatCats sent me this lovely Sarah Kay stamp to play with so had to ink her up right away.

The lovely die I have used is the Marianne Creatable large oval die, the leaves are also Marianne Creatable dies as is the fence (which seems to be out of stock).

The flower is a purchased one (I know shock horror) but I really bought them so I could see how to make them myself.

The lace is from my sewing stash and was white but I coloured it with a copic to match my card.

I thank you for taking the time to visit and having a look and maybe leaving a comment I do so love to read them.

Happy birthday 13 year olds

I've been so neglectful of my Blog for which I apologize.

We did go away for just over a week though to check up on hubby's elderly parents who had been feeling a little under the weather.

The cards below I made for two of our grand children who are both turning 13 this month, a day apart in fact.

For Billy I did a paper embroidery card while in Adelaide staying with my sister in law.

I stitched the steam engine onto white leather look card stock and then coloured it in, I quite like the textured look it gave me.

A few brads and some green wrapping paper and my card was finished.

For Aimee's card I decided to use a large letter A and then made up the background using all words I could think of that started with A and meant  your Awesome or cool.

I ran the letter A through the Swiss dots embossing folder and  the border running down the side is the Martha Stewart string lace border punch as is the strip going across the centre of the card.

A couple of punched stars (Fiskars squeeze punch) sewn on with a little heart button.

Leaves and Happy Birthday are Marianne Creatables dies.

Everything was distressed with Memento Rich cocoa.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit, I really do appreciate it.

The Old and the New House

I've had fun playing with the new Marianne Design Craftable Scandinavian House Die.

Fist I made a New House by cutting the die with different coloured card and cutting different sections off and layering them, as the windows and door open with this die I put behind them a small patterned design paper so it looks like wallpaper.

The tree, fence, (out of stock) leaves and bicycle are also all Marianne Creatable dies.

The background behind the house I made by inking over some cloud shapes with a sponge and the Memento Summer Sky stamp pad, grass was done the same way with a turn piece of cardboard and Bamboo Leaves memento ink.

For The Old House I just cut it out with a white core card and sanded it.

Again the Bicycle, Fence, leaves and sign are all Marianne Creatable dies.

The little owl in the top window is a button with the shank cut off.

Many thanks for taking the time to visit, I really appreciate it.

Hugs.................Baukje
