Handbags

I made this card using the Sketch and Stash Challenge sketch which is a really pretty layout and combined it with the colour theme from Colour Create of Lemon, Pink Sorbet and Chocolate....Yum! It is also one of my favourtie stamps so I entered Creative Inspirations Challenge which is to use your favourite stamps. 


                                                                                              I inked the edges of the papers to lift the layers and add texture.

3 in 2!

I loved this Lilli of the Valley sketch so much that I decided to make 2 with the same background! I made the second card for High Hopes Stamps where the theme is the yummy pink and brown and used the sketch for Stamp Something . I love the colour combo for this one!

The butterfly image was stamped onto handmade paper which I think gives it a better effect.


This was the second card which is slightly different. I used a lovely clear G Designs flower stamp given to me by Linda. Thank you!

Best Wishes


This card is combination of the two similar sketches from 2 Sketches 4 You and Mojo Monday 
and the theme from Our Creative Corner, which is Sentiments. I've used a combination of paper and Paper Mania ribbons. This Whispers Words stamp was used with rich cocoa ink and I added the embellishments to give it some sparkle! I love the sentiments on this stamp. 
Happy weekend all, Fiona x

Shabby Vintage

At last! One of my favourite themes over at Stamp With Fun ....
I just love the shabby, vintage look. I combined it with the layout for Sketch and Stash which is a fab layout and High Hopes Stamps which is pink and browns.

Sky Blue, Tan and Ecru

I've made this card for Stamp Something and Colour Create Challenge. This gorgeous sketch is from Stamp Something and the theme at CCC is Sky Blue, Tan and Ecru. I love blues and browns so I couldn't resist this one. I used a cuttlebug to cut and emboss and then finished the card with chalks and gems and ribbon.

Regal Rose, Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue

The Challenge at Our Creative Corner this weekend is Regal Rose, Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue along with a neutral colour. I combined this with Dawnys sketch at Papertake Weekly.  

I used another one of my new Bella stamps for this challenge. I just love skiing so this fun bella boarder is great! Unfortunately I couldn't ski this year as I'm 8 months pregnant (well worth the sacrifice though!) so this is a reminder of ski seasons past and more to come hopefully.

Bella Bonanza.....

My wonderful hubby bought me some bella stamps...YAY! I was so excited to use them. This one is just so cute. I couldn't wait to get started. I've used the outline for Sketch Saturday's Challenge and the theme from Papertake Weekly which is Animals and CCT which is Sporting Chance (my goodness!) and the sentiment for Stamp Something which is Clean and Simple Thank yous. 


I've used some making memories papers and punched out the flowers and added some beads to them. I went for a turquoise and and red theme and stamped the sentiment using my trusty ink it up red. The image was coloured with whispers markers. I think she looks happy and full of the joys of summer :)
