A Small Gang and some fun news :0)

Good Morning, hopefully you have sunshine for this Bank Hol.... at the moment its quite grey and damp here :0(
Well my fun news, in case you haven't seen, is that I'm back on the Paper Smooches Sparks Design Team starting next weekend so, of course, I had to have some fun with my Paper Smooches stamps for todays post ....

I've said it before but, I love that every time Paper Smooches has a new release it opens up new ideas for using old and newer sets together.  These two little hamsters from Party Posse have got this "teamwork" thing sorted so they can enjoy a nice cool drink from Free Spirits.... the sentiment from Mamma Elephant's Good Times was the perfect choice although you could esily use this scene as an 'encouragement' or a 'thanks for your help' card :0) .....hmmmm.....I hope the little fella below gets to have a slurp of that lemonade too!!!

       

It would be great to see some of our UK customers playing along in the Sparks challenge, check out the sketch this week and give your PS stamps and dies a whirl !!
Back next week and thanks for stopping by :0)

Mad Butterfly

Happy Tuesday!

Sorry you didn’t hear from me last week, my hubby hasn’t been very well. He’s had several attacks of gout recently and we ended up at the hospital for an x-ray to see if there was anything else going on. Thankfully he seems to be on the mend now. We still haven’t figured out why he gets it though.

Anyway, on to today’s card for my post over at MTDS – a mad butterfly. I made this for my friend, she’s mad about polka dots and I didn’t want to do traditional colours for her.

The butterfly is from the set by Paper Smooches’ Giddy Bugs and the sentiment is from Party Posse.

For this card I dug out some very old patterned paper and paper pieced the butterfly.  I just Copic coloured in his body using BG15, BG11 & BG10, RV63, RV66 & RV69.

The ribbon was VERY naughty, it just would not sit flat and although this card looks simple that bow took FOREVER to get right and I’m still not sure I like it lol.  To finish the card I added some little silver pearls (makes her look like she has bunches!) and a trail.

Hope you have a great week.

Time to Come Out of Your Shell!

Hi there.  It’s Ruby. My daughter had to do some little thank you cards for her friends and with time being limited I went into a little mass production with variation on colour.



I added a touch of colour with my copics and coloured the little (originally white) flower to match.

I used the little turtle from Paper Smooches 'Party Posse’ and the sentiment is from one of my favourite sentiment sets, Paper Smooches 'Simply Said', it’s got so many lovely sentiments, plus it just looks ‘happy’ somehow lol.  See….!!!


So I hope you like my little cards, I’ve taken a pic of one on it’s own too so you can see the detail a bit better.  These were super simple to make, which is great when your daughter remembers they need to be made the night before she needs to hand them out!!  Have a great day!
