Blue mandala and metallic colours

Happy Saturday!

Finally Summer is coming to the UK :) with a little bit of sunshine and warmer weather I have more energy to craft and paint, I hope sunshine gives you more energy as well :)

For this card I used GinaK wreath builder and mandala stamps. I used metallic colouring pencils to fill in some areas and make-up brushes for the background. I think the white sentiment and pearls make the design to pop.

V&A Papercraft Collection - Thank You card

Happy Friday!

Friday is always a great day to tell someone 'Thank You' for everything they do for us.

For this Thank You card I used embossing folder and flower stamps from V&A Papercraft Collection and Spectrum Noir blending pencils to colour in the images. I heat embossed all the letters on a black card and cut them out. 

I really recommend this V&A Papercraft Collection cardmaking kit as it is absolutely stunning and I will definitely use it again for more cards :)

I absolutely love the cover gift from Papercraft Inspirations magazine issue 193 and I made another card with this stamp set. I used Spectrum Noir glitter markers for the background and Spectrum Noir blending pencils to colour in all the images, then I fussy cut them.

Happy Tuesday!

What a day! I need vivid colours to survive this rainy weather in the UK, the cover gift from Papercraft Inspirations issue 193 is perfect as you can use any vibrant colours  and immerse yourself into the tropical weather.

I used Brusho crystals to create the background and Spectrum Noir blending pencils to colour in all the images.

Celebrate in a tropical style

Happy Monday!

I hope you have a wonderful week :)

To create this card I used the cover stamp set from Papercraft Inspirations issue 193 Giant Tropical which is perfect when you wait for summer. 

I used Spectrum Noir glitter pens to create the background and Spectrum Noir blending pencils to colour in all the images. 

I absolutely love this tropical effect and how colourful it turned out.

Spread your wings

Happy Thursday!

I'm still thinking about summer :) 

Here is my third card using the 'By the Seaside' stamp set from Creative Stamping magazine issue 72. I used StazOn black ink to stamp all the images and coloured them in with Spectrum Noir blending pencils and ZIG markers. When I finished colouring I thought that the card looks like a postcard from a very nice coastal town and I absolutely love it.

I know you have a lot of pencils, use them to colour in any stamped images and just have fun. I really recommend it :)

Have a great day and happy crafting!

Nothing soothes the soul like a walk on the beach

Happy Wednesday!

I hope you have a fantastic week :)

I'm looking forward to summer and still have to wait a few weeks so decided to work on some seaside cards. 

I made this card using 'By the seaside' stamp set from Creative Stamping magazine issue 72. For the background panel, I heat embossed the shells and starfish and then used ink blending to achieve sort of a sand texture. For the focal panel I stamped the images using StazOn ink and Spectrum Noir glitter inks to add the colours.

Do you like this a little bit vintage look?

Happy crafting!

By the seaside

Happy Tuesday!

The weather outside reminds me more of Autumn than Summer so in order to get some sunshine I used a cover gift from Creative Stamping magazine issue 72  (By the Seaside stamp set) and painted in this card using Glitter ink.

The card has a lot of shine and sparkle, I absolutely love the effect you get using these glitter inks from Spectrum Noir :)

Happy crafting!

What a beautiful day to give someone special a card.

Summer weather is here and inspired by the butterflies I made this card using stamps and metallic markers from Crafter's Companion subscription box 8.
