It's all in the finger work.

So I got bored over the half term holidays (the joys of young children who don't want to do anything), and this is what I ended up doing.I've been tempted to do this for a while after seeing it on Pinterest, then a friend put a picture on facebook. So I had a go, the Nightmare Before Christmas ones are ok, but after looking again I have seen a better version. However I love the eyes in the dark they made me laugh a lot (and were easier to do).

Baby Bamboo

I love this cute 'Baby Bamboo' stamp from Crafters Companion. I stamped the image on to a scalloped oval, cut using an Xcut die, then coloured it using Spectrum Noir pens.
I layered this on to a small rectangular card with the corners rounded off.

 I used the Embossalicious Dot 6x6 embossing folder on a piece of Centura Pearl card to create the background.

Then using off cuts of the Centura Pearl card I cut out the clouds using a Memory Box die.

To finish the card off I added a stamped greeting and three graduated gems.

Bugs and Hisses

 This little cutie is one of many Halloween cards I shall be making this year.
The small square dies are from Xcut and the cobweb frame and background dies are from Memory Box.
The Bugs and Hisses stamp is a Stampendous stamp.
The little witch is a Sweet Pea stamp but unfortunetly I can not remember who she is by.
She was coloured with Spectrum Noir pens using the following colours:

TN3, TN4, TN5, TN6, PP1, EB3, BG7, GG3, FS2, FS3, CT1, GB6, PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4, PL5, OR1, OR2.

The image was finished off with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink.

Top of the morning (or at least evening)

 It was our friends wedding yesterday, they had a masquerade theme and everyone has been busily looking for something cool to wear. So I went with a slight twist on the theme with a steampunk outfit. This is my top hat complete with cog hat pins and a cog/ribbon rosette. The first pic is a side shot and the second one is a full frontal. I had lots of people telling me how cool i looked all night. I'm just glad I pulled it all off.

And now for something a little bit different..............

This little guy is Mr Fox and he is made from felt and a couple of black beads. I'd seen something similar but for silly money so I thought I'd have a go.

Halloween is coming, halloween is coming.

My first Halloween card of the year. The pumpkin carriage stamp is beautiful.I coloured this image with Promarkers and added a glitter glue on the swirls.

Hello baby

 How sweet is this little Nellie. I saw this for the first time a few months back and the idea of a baby card just pinged into my head. I've finally got around to making something with it. The card is 6"x6", with a slightly smaller pink glossy square, a 5"x5" white card edged using a Martha Stewart punch, another smaller pink glossy card with the image stamped onto a small white square. The image is from Wild Rose Studio and is coloured using Spectrum Noir pens.
