Hello. I have a really simple mini card up on the Jane’s Doodles blog today. The feathers and sentiment are from the Wise Owl stamp set.

I stamped the feathers in different shades of distress ink onto some watercolour paper. I then used a brush to watercolour the feathers. When they were dry, I used the fine end of the coordinating distress marker and went over the images again to make the edges more pronounced. Very simple.

Hi there. I had a fun post up on the Jane’s Doodles blog the other day. I used the Garden Friends stamp set and also a new one to the store, Read All About It.

The apple is nice and shiny thanks to some Glossy Accents.

It is my turn again at the Muse Card Club and I must admit that I really love how this card turned out.

I stamped the images from the Avery Elle set Petals and Stems in Luxe Memento pigment ink. Once dry, I went over the images with different shades of Prisacolor pencils to add some shading and depth. It took quite a while to get the desired blending, but it was quite therapeutic. I used a Derwent blending pencil to help blend the colours. Finally I fussy cut all the images out and then added them onto the card base with foam dimensionals.

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.

Hope you can find some time to play along at Muse this week.

It’s time for another  Tag You’re It! Challenge. Can’t believe we are up to number 6 already!

Here is this week’s lovely inspiration tag – made by Karin Åkesdotter.

I just HAD to include a butterfly as you know me, I love my butterflies. To add some sparkle, I created a glittery butterfly using some double sided adhesive and glitter.

The tag was from my scrap pile, but it was made by smooshing distress inks onto an acrylic block and then pressing it onto some water colour paper. I love this technique!

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

Hi there. I have a fun project up on the Jane’s Doodles blog today – cup cake toppers.  I used the adorable Garden Friends stamp set. I had a lot of fun making these little guys (and I will also say, the whole family had a lot of fun eating them too. Just for the record they were red velvet cupcakes :).
