Jenny's Birthday!

For Jenny's birthday I made her a card that I would say isn't really 'my style'.  For the center image I used a Lili Of the Valley Stamp called 'James with flower' and coloured it in with copics. 

I really enjoyed the Copic classes, I feel like we learnt so much but yet there is still so much more to learn with the copics. I feel James the bear turned out ok but it could be more like that skill. 

Hope you have a great day jenny!

Happy Easter!

This is the third card I made this Easter, I made it with the LOTV stamp 'Hoppy Easter' 

All the family gathered around my Uncle's and  Auntie's this year for a few nibbles and a Easter Egg hunt. These are a few snaps from the day...

I hope you all had a great day!

Happy Mothers Day...

This is the card me and Sofie created this morning for mum...

The paper I used is the Teresa Collins, Nine & Co. 6X6 paper pad. I absolutely love it! I find it so easy to work with because all the papers coordinate beautifully. Normally I find even paper pads have the odd few sheets that don't really match the collection at all,But with this set it doesn't matter what sheets you choose they go together and that just makes it such a pleasure to work with. The lily of the valley stamp Sofie choose is called 'Armful Of Daisies'. Which she coloured with Copics to match the colours in the paper.  

Yes I know we left it to make the card actually on mothers day, that's because we never ever both get free time to go out to the craft room when mum isn't in there. So this morning we left dad making hot cross buns with mum's assistance and quickly managed to make her the card. This is how the hot cross buns turned out :) They tasted lovely!

We are all off out now, to go up to Nan & Grandads house for a take away. I hope you all have a great mothers day!

Lili Of The Valley - Challenge Card...

Here's my card for this months LOTV challenge.

I have never played along with this challenge before but mum insisted I give it a go with her...

It was also my first time ever (Yes ever!!) Copic coloring, I think it went ok and was much easier than I thought it would be thankfully, But now it has made me want to have my own collection of Copics so I'm not sharing mums.

The other new thing I tried on this card is heat embossing on top of texture paste. I just used the texture paste as normal but while it was still wet added the Wow white pearl on top and tapped of the excess, left it over night to all dry and then in the morning used the heat gun to melt the powder and it turned out perfectly! I love the way it turned out! 

Unfortunately mum and I didn't actually get to enter the competition as we didn't realise it had to enter before last night but its fine it was still great fun taking part.

Let me know who's you think is better? =)
