Pssst.....!

I've been sharing some of my designs in my role as new DT member over at {ippity} Inspiration but want to formally introduce myself over here at Make the Day Special too. I'm really excited to have joined Emily's DT and am having lots of fun experimenting with new stamps. 

My first project was to use a new range of stamps (to me) from cute and quirky QKR Stampede. I had lots of fun trying my hand at paper piecing which I think works so well with this stamp:

This stamp is called 'Secrets' and is available at the Make the Day Special shop.
(Promarkers used : Blush, Dusky Pink, Cinnamon and Cocoa)

Thanks for stopping by,

Hello, here is my first post as part of the fab DT at make the day special. Ive used the bird, birdhouse and sentiment from the Unity spring 2010 collection, Adventures in happiness. Ive kept this card simple as i think the stamps speak for themselves.
Ive layered co-ordinating coloured card and masked the bird so that the lines from the birdhouse do not cover it. And then added a ribbon.
I lined the inside of the card and added an extra bird. Papers used are from MME bloom and grow collection.
Thats it from me thanks for looking and dont forget to check back to see whats next from the talented ladies tomorrow.

First DT card - Mini Bath time Fhiona

I am very excited to be sharing my first DT card with you today using the cutest 'Your Next Stamp' mini stamp of Fhiona relaxing in the bath.

This adorable mini stamp is available from Make the Day Special and is perfect to decorate mini cards with. As soon as I saw the stamp, I instantly thought of my new Basic Grey Wisteria pad as the colours are so serene and the patterns are so feminine, they make a lovely little card.

To make the card, I cut a mini card shape using the Nestabilities large scallop squares and covered it with the backing paper around which I had wrapped some lovely crisp ivory grosgrain ribbon. I added a simple bow to the left and embellished it with some pearls.


I stamped my image onto Coordinations white card as I love working on textured card. I coloured the image with Promarkers and added some glossy accents to the bathtub. I cut the image out with my Nesties, layered on to blue card and used the same technique for my sentiment.
The finishing touch was some little cream flowers with pearls added to the centres.
I hope you have a lovely Friday.
