Merry Christmas - using Monique

good morning all.

with christmas just around the corner and a couple of male cards i needed to make out of the way i've managed to do some festive card making so i thought i'd share some new makes from the images i have coloured recently.

stamps used are pergamano poppets which i picked up from Clarity crafts.

 

i do have a few poppets in my stamp stash and have yet to use some of them. i do how ever have a lot of stamps in polymer and rubber of various brands but like most crafters i do like doing other things and i'm guilty of buying more craft things and leaving them for later and at this rate i'm not going to manage to fit every crafty thing in, tongue in cheek comment....of course they'll be used. 

a little floral addition to give it a chrismassy feel

i do love maja design papers and when funds allow i stock up on them including the latest releases wich i managed to pick up from the mad scrapper.

birthday boy - lotv image

 

good morning crafters, back to share a male card today.

i do enjoy creating male cards and today i've used one of my trusty images from Lili of the Valley: Oliver - game boy. 

Oliver has been painted with distress ink (colours will be listed below) and my completed card has been created using new papers: sea side from maja desgin which i picked up from the lovely Janine over at the mad scrapper

Painted with distress ink

on my image i have masked oliver and used another of my large LOTV. sentiment stamps: birthday not too sure if the large stamps are still available as digi's i think the polymer stamps have been discontinued, i do like the effect the large stamp gives to the fininshed card.

Oliver Game boy: LOTV

a little distress ink colouring

 Good morning crafters.

popping in with quick post i thought i'd share a little colouring i have done recently, it has been four weeks since i dusted my paint brushes off and also with christmas around the corner i couldn't resist purchasing these adorable stamps from Carity Crafts.

i'd like to welcome to my stamp stash:

Maisie, Monique, Maddie and Melody.

i do have two more images waiting to be painted:

Mel & Mia.

and as soon as they are complete they will be shared.

the images above have all painted with distress ink and have been matched to papers i've wanted to use for a little while, three cards i will be using papers from Maja Designs and one using first edition papers and in the next few days or so i will have some Christmas cards to share, yay.

so for now,

thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day and

craft happy, Ann.
