Lawn Fawn Pinwheels

A very quick and simple card today, I seem to be in a very clean and simple mood still!

This card uses the Lawn Fawn Cruising Through Life stamp set available from Make The Day Special.


I've paper pieced the pinwheel to add a bit of colour. 

Hope that today you are following your dream!

Have a good day.

More Quiet Essence!

Good morning!
Today I have a couple of Tags to show you.....
I love playing with backgrounds and also trying to get as much 'mileage' as I can out of my stamps!

I have used one of my favourite Unity Store Kits 'Quiet Essence' available from the lovely Emily here

It's ages since I used my Brayer so I thought I'd have a little 'inky' play! Here is what I came up with.....

This the first one that I made! A little bit PINK, but also with some touches of my favourite Orange!


Ah, much more 'me' I think!
I used 'Big an' Juicy' pads for my brayering.....something else I have had for ages and not played very much with!!
I scrunched a piece of copy paper and then smoothed it out and ran the inky brayer across it, so that the the ink on the brayer took the crease of the paper onto the ink and then I rolled! I think it's more noticeable on the 2nd tag...
I used the little bacground stamp to add a bit more texture....using the same ink pad.
Isn't that sentiment fantastic? Stamped, clear embossed and highlighted with Glossy Accents. The Flower is coloured with ProMarkers and also Glossy Accented!
The little Bird is off the  'Life Becoming' kit also available here stamped onto shrink plastic...love him!
All that was left for me to do was a little doodling round the edge and add a little ribbon...
Thanks for looking, I hope you have a good Monday and I'll see you soon...

Oh and don't forget, our 'Get 'Em While You Can' Blog Hop is open until Saturday and me and my teamies have some great giveaways!

A birthday tag

Today I have a birthday tag to share with you using a sentiment stamp from Unity's "The Right Words" available from the shop here.

I covered a tag using papers by SEI and cut out the streamer and party hat from patterned paper. The sentiment was stamped using Memento ink on to white card and then coloured with Promarkers. After colouring I decided that the white background was too bright so used an ivory marker to cover it.

Materials used:
SEI papers
Unity stamp (as above), brown Memento ink, Promarkers
My Mind's Eye buttons
pompom trim and organza ribbon.


Don't forget that our "Get em while you can" blog hop is still ongoing. Have a look here!

Thanks for visiting!
