Gnometastic

This is a card for my boyfriends Dad who is very green fingered. Both the gnome and the little toadstool house are Woodware stamps, as regulars to my blog will know I ama big fan of the Woodware singles stamps, they are clean images and have some fantastic designs.
I started with the gnome who I coloured using Spectrum Noir markers in the following colours:
PP1, DR2, DR3, DR4
TN7, TN8, PL1, PL2
JG1, JG2, EB3, EB4
FS1, FS2, CT3, IG1

I then stamped the toadstool image onto the card blank and coloured it using simple pencil crayons (I didn't want to take away from the gnome).

 Finally I used the Memory Box 'Spring Border' die to create the flower border at the bottom, adding a little 'Liquid Pearl' on the flower heads.

From owl of us

This is a birthday card for my Aunt who like me is quiet fond of the odd owl or two. This is another stamp from the Woodware's Perfectly Clear range.
I really like this stamp but as the Mother of twins it was missing a vital element, originally it was a Mummy, Daddy and one baby. So I stamped the image three times so I could decoupage the image.

I coloured in the images using Spectrum Noir pens using the following colours:
JG1, JG2, PL2, PL3,
TN1, TN2, TN3, TN4, TN5
CT3, LY3

The first layer was the three original owls, the next one I cut out the Mummy and baby, with the third image I only cut out the baby. I added the second baby to the image in front of the Daddy owl.

I used the Marianne die Anja Squares to cut the fancy shape around the image as well as the background square.

Finally I added the greeting from the same stamp set.

Captain Underpants

It's almost here, that time of year we are all supposed to go slushy and declare undying love to that special someone. Bah who needs romance when you have these fantastic undies!

This was a really easy card to make, firstly I stamped the pants onto red card and added the words, then I cut out several little white hearts using an Xcut punch.

While this was drying I cut a piece of white card and stamped the Valentine's greeting, I used an Xcut die to create the red heart corners and mounted the whole lot onto a red square card.

These beautiful boxers are a great little set of stamps from Woodware, it consists of the pants and several witty words including the Captain Underpants I've used on the waist band.

We owl wish

It was my Uncle's birthday a few days ago so I made him this sweet little owl card.

I've love owls for years and have loads of stamps but it seems I am also a little obsessed with the cute little stamps from Woodware (yes it's another one).
This stamp is really nice and really simple. I stamped him onto a piece of white card and coloured him in using Spectrum Noir pens.
The colours I used were:
TN1, TN2,TN3,TN4
JG1, JG2
EB3, EB4
LY3, CT3

I then used a Marianne die (Anja's Squares) to create the fancy square around the image and mounted it onto a lime green card background.

 

The greeting came from another owl stamp set (also from Woodware) and just gave the card that little extra something.

Furry Birthday

I seem to have gone all cute again. 

This little fuzz ball is a Woodware clear stamp coloured with Spectrum Noir pens.

The pens I used were TN4, TN5, TN6, OR1, OR2, OR3, PP3, JG1

 

 I mounted the image onto a piece of patterned card and then onto a piece of orange card.

Then I added a little birthday greeting.

There's not mushroom!

 Ok so I am going to apologise for the bad pun, I promise it'll never happen again.




                   

 This cute little toadstool is a clear stamp from Woodware, it has been coloured in using Spectrum Noir pens.
The colours I used were:
TN1, TN2, TN4, TN5, BG1, BG5, IG1, OR1, CT2, DR3, DR4, DR5, JG1, JG2.

I rounded off the corners of the image and mounted it onto red card.

Finally I added the little 'Home sweet home' words.
