Hello. Well I am not sure where spring has gone – because winter has returned and it is wet, wet and wet and cold! So in order to entice some spring back, I’ve made a fun and whimsical card using some Jane’s Doodles stamps. You can see the post here on the Jane’s Doodles blog.

It was really easy to create. I stamped a whole bunch of little images from various stamps (see supply list below) in Ranger Archival ink. I then water coloured around the images with Mowed lawn Distress ink. Easy peasy!

Hello. I hope you have had a fabulous Monday and a great weekend. I’ve just had 2 very lovely days with my Mum, two sisters and my niece in Sydney. We went to see Matilda on Sunday night and it was a brilliant show! I’m back home now and feeling tired, but I’m on holidays, so I’m going to take things very slowly!

I’m popping in with a couple of Jane’s Doodles cards that were over on the Jane’s Doodles blog recently.

First up is this floral card and I love how easy it was to create. I white heat embossed the image from Spring Blessings onto coloured card stock and then did some simple colouring with Copic markers.

Next up is this hello card that uses the Jane’s Doodles Mom set. Lots of fussy cutting, but I find that quite relaxing. And I also used some patterned paper. Go me!

I had some time yesterday so I have made one last card for the MFT Superstar contest. I recently ordered some MFT goodies which included 5 stencils and so this card uses another MFT stencil called Grid – but this time with embossing paste, coloured with Pumice Stone distress ink. And I am loving the new MFT Label Maker Sentiments stamp set!

I also pulled out my Upsy Daisy Die-Namics dies which I haven’t used in ages.

Well Term 3 has just finished at school today, so I am now on 2 weeks holiday! I’m off to Sydney this weekend for a girly weekend with my Mum and two sisters and my niece to see the theatre production Matilda. Can’t wait!

Today I’m sharing a card using some Jane’s Doodles stamps. I kept things pretty simple with this one. The flowers are coloured with Copics and then I added some Wink of Stella glitter brush pen for some shimmer. To ground the flowers, I added a couple of strips of patterned paper. For something different, I used some leather grain card stock for the card base.

You can find the post here on the Jane’s Doodles blog.

It’s been so wet, cold and miserable here. But is has been perfect stay-by-the fire weather which I’ve been doing a lot of lately!

Well the Online Card Class Clean & Simple 4 is almost over, and I have only managed to make one card for it! With the new school year just beginning here, there are so many things that have needed to take precedence!
I really loved the faux embossing technique that Yana showed on Day 4 – so I went with it. I have done a similar technique before, but not in the same colour as the card base – and I like the effect that it creates.
