I’m back with several Jane’s Doodles projects that have been on the Jane’s Doodles blog over the past couple of weeks.

First up is a card that uses three stamp JD sets; Winter Wishes, Rain or Shine and Simon. I love creating little scenes and mixing and matching different stamp sets.

Next up are two cards using the Special Delivery stamp set.

And lastly is a bookmark using the Cats stamp set.

Thanks for hanging in there with me.
Until next time,

I’m back with a really quick and simple technique using some Sunny Studio products. You can see my post here. I used the Furever Friends stamp set and its coordinating dies, which have some really cute cat images.

If you are not confident with colouring images, or like me, was running short on time, then maybe this could be a technique for you to try. Instead of placing the colour onto my images, I created a really vibrant watercolour background with distress inks. I love the contrast.

To get the background to be so vibrant, I added several layers of Distress inks, making sure to heat set between each application. The colours used from the top down were Barn Door, Festive Berries, Ripe Persimmon, a mixture of Ripe Persimmon and Wild Honey and Mustard Seed.

The black sentiment strip tied the whole project together. I love how it turned out – but my daughter just couldn’t understand why I didn’t colour in the cats!

Thanks so much for stopping by today,

It’s starting to feel a little bit like Christmas on my blog today, with these fun tags using some Jane’s Doodles stamps. Christmas will be here before we know it, so I am getting in nice and early! These were really quick and easy to make – I think I may need to make some more experimenting with other colours.

It’s a little hard to tell, but the scarves are sparkling with some clear Wink of Stella. I love that pen!

You can head to Jane’s blog here to check out my post, and while you are there check out lots of other inspiration from the design team.

Wow what a HUGE response we had at Muse Card Club last week for our 1ooth Challenge. So to kick off the 101st challenge, I have a very clean and simple card for you.

This card is a mini card (approximately 3.5 x 4.5 inches). It was actually one card of a set of 6 cards which I made for my daughter’s preschool teacher. I couldn’t help making them in a rainbow of bright colours.

Hope that you will be able to find some time this week to join in on the fun.

Hello. It is my week as the Muse at the Muse Card Club.

Today’s card is a simple one with some Copic colouring of a very cute image. It’s a bit hard to tell but the main image is popped up for some dimension. I love cats…I find them so relaxing.

And before I go,  I’ll leave you with some pictures of my beloved kitty cat – Mack. He is a stylish kitty if I do say so myself, but I am biased 🙂

Here are some of the guidelines if you are unfamiliar with how Muse works.

• Use the Muse card as inspiration, explain your interpretation and link back to Muse.
• Provide supportive comments to at least 3 of your fellow member’s submissions.
• Vote for 3 of your fellow member’s submissions that you find inspiring, once voting opens.

For the full challenge guidelines go here.

I’m looking forward to seeing your creations.

Thanks for stopping by.

It’s time for another Tag You’re It! Challenge.  This week’s inspiration tag is made by the lovely Tracey McNeely.

I kept my tag simple with white heat embossing on red card stock, but added extra detail with some sparkle. The ‘Merry’ sentiment was coloured with a dark red Copic marker and then some clear Wink of Stella brush glitter pen was added over the top. You can see a tiny bit of sparkle in the photo.

For more details on the challenge and the guidelines, go here.

Hope you can find some time to play along. To link up your creations head to the Tag You’re It! Challenge blog.
