Bring out the Gin

 Morning and my post is bring out the gin but since I got drunk on it at my 18th many moons ago I cant even stand the smell now-port is my preferred tipple-I made a card using a layout where you get two cards from two pieces of p, paper from CraftOClock   and stamp set from Visible Image- stamped, fussy cut and coloured with promarkers-pretty quick and simple. The gin bottle in the front is on 3D foam. I made another one with the same papers and stamps but that is a DT one for next month.

Happy Moments and Lots of Layers.

 Morning and after receiving the most amazing  birthday card off  Chrissy HERE I decided to make the same style for  FB friend who goes onlots of Nature walks complete with pics -but is suffering a health setback-mine was a  lot smaller and not as impressive but I was still delighted how it turned out. All papers and images are from the Lavender pad from Stamperia, ribbon from stash-pics slightly out of order but they are all there lol.

Winter Birthday and Snowdrops

 Morning and my second post today is for the Winter Birthday challenge chosen by Christine and our GD is Pam  at Dragonfly Dreams which I have now rejoined. The papers are from CraftOClock the snowdrop image is from Sweet Dixie clear stamps coloured with promarkers and dies from Spellbinders. I stamped the image twice, cut out the flowers and added  with 3-D foam, after using the spotlight technique and adding part of the image with a Crafters Companion die, soft snow around the base of images-the sentiment is from Pink frog.

Magical Mushrooms

Morning and I have two DT posts today-the first one is for the ATG/Magical challenge at Stamping Sensation and we have prizes from Lavinia Stamps. Now I have a confession to make as I own no Lavinia stamps soooo----- I used my AALL&Create stamp set  clear embossed and coloured with promarkers,  a texture stamp by Lisa Horton-the sentiment says---Let's follow the mycelium path to a world of endless possibilities. The background was created by using three distress inks on a stamp pad, sprayed with water and pressed onto cardstock- a little doodling to finish.
