Hokusai Wave.


I have made this card for a friend using a stamped image and colouring with acrylic paints, I really love using these at the moment. The stamp is called Hokusai Wave and is from Stampland Chicago.

For my Mum.


Around Fathers Day I always try to find a way of letting my mum know how much she means to me. This year is the first time ive made her a card, well, since i was at Primary School ! I chose to use these colours as they are her favourite colour range. The stamp is from Inkadinkado, the inks are colorbox.

Fathers Day.


I made this card for my Father in law for Fathers Day. He is a keen fisherman, hence my choosing this stamp from Funstamps. I used alcohol inks to create the background , and heat embossed the main image using copper coloured embossing powder.

DCM Challenge.

Ive made this card for Lana's Birthday, and as its my first attempt at heat embossing on a card ive decided to submit it to Daring Cardmakers, as this week's challenge is Embossing. For this card i used alcohol inks on glossy cardstock to create the background. I stamped the image on white card using versamark, I then applied black embossing powder and heat set. I cut the image out and coloured with Perfect Pearls which i had mixed with water. I then stamped the image again on the purple alcohol inked background using black Brilliance ink to which I applied clear embossing powder and heat set. I overlayed the image and attached with adhesive. This is my first submission to Daring Cardmakers.

I made this tag for a swap hosted by Gillian. We were given "Postal " as the theme, and this is my interpretation. i used PaperArtsy and all night Media stamps with colorbox chalk inks.

The face has been stamped with colorbox chalk ink Topaz. The stamps are both Paperbag Studio.

Wednesday Stamper


This is my first contribution for Wednesday Stamper. It was a very last minute decision to do it, and my first three attempts went in the bin, then i noticed that the FDL would make a fab crown and it got me thinking in a new direction ! I really enjoyed making this -and i got to play with my new toy -my dymo! I used Paper Artsy stamps and colorbox inks.
