Happy Birthday

 good morning crafters

popping in with a personal share today, a birthday card for my beautiful granddaughter Ruby.

a fabulous young lady who turned 12 yesterday and for her card i've used one of my saturated canary stamps: little ladybug and my colouring medium is: distress ink. i would normally die cut Ruby's name and add it to the card but i think the colours used for this card spell out her name beautifully.

i'm never quite sure how the paper will handle a bright red and i decided not to colour wash the background just in case the red bled, i need to add glossy accents to her eyes and wings, i'd ran out and had to order some more and sadly it won't be delivered in time for this post, so i am sharing minus the glossy accents but i will share the completed card at the end of an up coming post...

some of the items used:

distress ink, tonic dies, sakura glitter pen, mulberry roses, satin ribbon, memento ink, saturated canary stamp, sizzix sentiment stamps, spellbinder dies, mft sentiment stamp, white base card, off white card, granddaughter & personalised stamp from 

stamping-all-day and maja design designer papers.

all it leaves me now to say is:

thanks for stopping by enjoy your day and

craft happy, Ann

a little colouring to share

 hi and welcome to my share for today.

popping in with a little recent colouring fest i've done over the last few days using a variety of stamps from some of my fave brands.

i use rubber and polymer stamps for my distress ink projects as these give me the best results.

all the images have been painted with distress re-inkers and i've been trying out different colour combinations on my images from my ink pallet including colouring edna the bumblebee using colours for a carpenter bee which i'd chosen from a photo i'd seen on fb a few days ago and all the images are now waiting to be added to projects.

so in the next few weeks i will be sharing a variety of birthday cards using up these cute coloured images.

just a little background on some of the products i currently use. i have two brands of water colour card for my stamped images they are: langton and fabriano artistico, the langton i use hot press and cold press 140llb paper and i have a third brand to try out at some point and that's blockingford hp 140llb.

well that's all for today now to make some greeting cards to add to my stash.

thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day and craft happy. Ann
