Ice Lollies and ice Cream

Morning-just!!! and I have a tag to share today --Now first of all I had the bright idea of making my own washi tape with masking tape and used my stamps-then I stuck it on the card and it completely merged into the card!!!-note to self colour first!!!then I doodled lines down the edges and coloured the images-didn'r like it so that came off-then idea=ice-lollies put sticky finger marks on looked absolutely stupid but carried on and stamped hand marks and the card didn't take the promarkers well either---soooo-made another lol-will post this one at the end to show you and no pointing and laughing-I will hear you!!!Funny thing is now I see them both posted together not sure if I prefer this one anyway???

Anyway my tag for today the ice lolly(coloured with promarkers and added glossy accents) and sentiment stamps are craft mag freebies/texture stamp round the edge is Crafters Companion/splat stamp from Visible Image/tiny sprinkles and ribbon from stash.Oh and I solved how the glossy accents made crackles--how long have I been crafting for and next time use glasses properly---only bought Glossy Accents Crackle Glaze doh!!!

Dies and Pearls

Morning and I have two DT posts today the 2nd one is for the ATG challenge at Daisy Chain.My SIL asked for an anniversary card for her friend so perfect timing,and Hollys little friend(10yrs) saw it-asked how much they cost she wanted one for her Mam and Dad-so had to make another one-didn't charge for this one though bless her.The B.papers were from The Works,sentiment was computer generated in Dafont,pearls from stash and dies were from The Works/Memory Box,Elizabeth Craft Deigns and Marianne and I added a little hessian string bow under the flowers and cheesecloth under the hearts.
I would also like to welcome my new follower Billie.
