Hog heaven

Hello lovely peeps


I've made a spinner card with the images from Hog Heaven by MFT

Since I've hardly been in my craft room for the last year, I couldn't remember where on earth my transparent cord was, so I used some white cotton to suspend the image inside the circle.

A Splash of Purple

Hello lovely peeps


It's day 3 of the 30 day colouring challenge and today I've been watercolouring with Leonie Pujol's glitter brush pens. The stamp is from Stampotique, called Betsy. Isn't she gorgeous?

The background is a little unusual. I had to clean my Copic C5 and C7 nibs on Wednesday after colouring Ellie/Phant as there were deposits of ink building up. Once I had put the nibs back in the pens I poured the dirty Copic Cleaning fluid into a spritzer bottle and had enough 'ink' to spritz three card blanks with it.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:-
Stampotique Designers' Challenge #352 Anything Goes
CCC Digi Creations No patterned paper
 Crafty Creations #411 Anything Goes 
Cute card thursday #641 Anything Goes

Ellie loves Phant

Hello lovely peeps


Yesterday was the start of a new 30 day colouring challenge so I coloured up this cutie from Stamping Bella called Ellie Loves Phant using Copic markers (C7, C5, C3, C0, R00, R32).

I found a spritzer bottle with a centimetre of red ink left in the bottom lurking on my desk so used this to spray directly onto some Sheena Stamping Card for the background.

Every cloud

Hello lovely peeps, I do hope you are well in these troubling times.


Every cloud has a silver lining. With my hours cut at work because of the coronavirus pandemic I now have some spare time to craft.

I made this card for my nephew's 21st, using stamps, stencils and distress inks.

Thanks for stopping by, stay safe
