Mermaid Kisses

Evening peeps

I have spent my day trying to re-arrange the living room.  I don't have a spare room to use as a craft room, so everything is in the living room.  After moving everything ten times or more, it has gone back to the original layout.

Anyway, tonight's card is an easel card more with a mermaid theme.  The digital stamp is called Salty Kisses from Tiddly Inks and I have coloured her using Copics and ProMarkers.

Other materials used are:

White card stock

Blue Centura Pearl card stock

Patterned Digital Papers

Spellbinders Flower Play stamp and die set

Blue micro beads

Pearl hat pins

Blue organza ribbon

Blue dazzlers

Cool Rider

Evening all

I have been a bit of a crouch today.  I was awake at five this morning so I decided to have a spring clean.  It has been a perfect day for washing all my curtains.  

The aim, get them in the washing machine early, hang them on the line to dry, iron them and have them hanging back up by tonight.  Unfortunately, one of my neighbours decided to have a bbq,  the whole garden was filled with smoke and the smell of food.  Not happy, my curtains are still wet and the load of washing that was already on the line, had to be washed again.

Anyway, to take the stress of today away, I have made a quick card.  This is a card to a man in the colours of red, green, black and white.  The digital stamp is called Simon On Bike from Little Blue Button Stamps and I have coloured him using Copics and ProMarkers.

Other materials used are:

White card stock

Black card stock

Red Centura Pearl card stock

Digital Paper

Bath Time

Evening all

What a rubbish day.  Should be my day off, but one of my colleagues have gone sick, so I landed up having to go into work.  Then to top it all off, I realised that no one has been listening to me and I am unlikely to progress any further in my career unless I leave the store.

Thank god for my crafting.  Today's card has a bath time theme and has been made in the colours of blue.  My favourite colour has always been red, but lately I am using blue more and more.  The digital stamp is called Mayde's Puppy Bathtime from Lacy Sunshine and I have coloured it using Copics and ProMarkers.

Other materials used are:

White card stock

Kraft card stock

Patterned Digital Paper

Tonic Celtic Dream Layering die set

Anyway, onto my card tonight which has a love theme.  I have chosen the colours of blue and yellow with a clean and simple style.  The digital stamp is called Wedding Bella from Tiddly Inks and I have coloured it using Copics and ProMarkers.
