Stampin Up Stamps for Stamp Something

I decided to play with my new stamps from Stampin Up and this is the result. I stamped and cut out some flowers and added them to the scroll pattern with sticky pads, and added gems to finish off. This card is for this weeks challenge over on Stamp Something.

Embossing Paste

I've been trying to get this technique right for ages and at last I've finally done it. I coloured some embossing paste with acrylic paint and applied it over a stencil. I love the finished result with this technique.

Lets Get Stamping on Craft Bubble

I did this card for the weekly fun sketchie over on Craft Bubble. I decoupaged the unbrella and wellies and added 3D gloss to the water.

Sketch Saturday

I managed to get hold of 1 pack of Daisy & Dandylion stamps this week and thought I'd use it for this weeks sketch over on Sketch Saturday. I coloured him with distress inks and added some 3D gloss on his pads, nose, eyes and tummy heart. I loved this sketch.

Friday Sketchers

Since I won the challenge over on Friday Sketchers last week, I thought it only right that I use the prize for this weeks challenge. Isn't she just so cute! I coloured her with pro markers and added 3D gloss to her wellies.
