Stamps and Paper

Sorry for not being around for a week or so...  busy with Christmas cards at the moment  but found this image already coloured up so decided to pop it onto a card.  Its one of my favourite PSX stamps...stamped into water colour card.....

I can't believe its October already the weeks are just flying by.....

Hope you are  all keeping well and safe...

Enjoy the weekend...

Spring has arrived in Somerset this morning its a beautiful morning with blue skies and sunshine...
This lovely tulip image is an old PSX stamp...colouored with pencils, backing paper from my stash and I've used a Tattered Lace alphabet die that came with one of their magazines....

Have a lovely weekend...

Whilst having my clear out in the craft room I came across a box with all sorts of images in, some just stamped and some coloured..  I did throw a lot away but some I kept to try and use up...this is one of them.
The rose is an old PSX stamp which as you can see I also shrunk down using shrink plastic and made into a tag..the  postage frame stamp is also an old one by 'Just for Fun...if I remember rightly I used a plastic template over the frame stamp dotted areas then stamped into the different areas, the script is a Hero Arts stamp...
I've used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background...the ribbon is actually a pretty green but for some reason has come out looking brownish...

I know I have posted this stamp before but it is one of my favourites...its an old PSX Botanicals just called 'Hibiscus'.
Coloured with Prismacolor pencils.  Backing paper is from my stash and I have lost the front cover so cant tell you what it is!
I love the Tessatina Memory Box die which I have used across the centre and on the side I have used a Cheery Lynn die which I have cut about a little bit, used a S.U. border punch on the other side of the image and added a few pearls..of course..

Where did February go to??  Its the 1st of the month and that means another challenge over at St Lukes Charity card challenge and this month our challenge is Spring into Spring...anything to do with Spring....flowers, animals, fresh Spring colours so lets see what you can come up with.
The stamp I have used is an old PSX Clematis stamp, coloured with Prismacolor pencils, backing paper is from Stampin Up the Trellis punch us a Martha Stewart one, leaves punched are from the SU bird punch.

Can't believe how quickly Saturday comes around, and thank you to all those that visited my blog....another great challenge from Chrissie and Mandi over at Less is more this time its a  Masculine card.
The stamp I have used is an old PSX image.. just stamped with Versafine and just added a little touch of colour to the tank.  Sentiment is computor generated and I've used the S.U. window punch to punch it out.

Lovely to be back in my craft room after spending a lovely week with the grandchildren we all had a really good time and they went home very happy...thats what grandparents are for isn't it?
Bah Humbugs challenge this week is called 'Things that Fly'....
Decided to use the old PSX stamp which unfortunately doesn't have a name on it.  Coloured with copics but I'm not too happy with my colouring and I should have used penicls and got a softer look... I have used Glossy accents on the berries and also on the eyes of the birds.
Backing paper is from Papermania, you know when you buy paper pads there always colours in there which you tend to leave and these are two of them but thought they went o.k. with the 'brightly' coloured robins!!   S.U. Border punch and Quickutz corner die also used.

I've been busy for the last couple of days getting thing ready for our club night tonight.
This is another old PSX stamp, stamped and then just aged the edges with distress inks.
Backing paper is K and Co.  Martha Stewart punch and a little bit of lace added on the top.
Magnolia swirl die, and a metal corner embellishment, oval punch and sentiment are both S.U. 

Wishing you all A very Happy and Healthy New Year.

A very quick post this morning using another image of the PSX Hibicus stamp but this time coloured with blue pencils.
Mounted onto S.U. Backing paper. Martha Stewart punch along the bottom. Quickutz corners dies used. Ribbon and pearls from stash.

Decided it was time to bring out some of my old stamps and give them an airing some of these stamps haven't been used for a very long time.
One of them is the PSX Hibicus stamp.
Coloured with pencils. Backing paper is by Docrafts. I've used my new S.U. embossing folder called square Lattice and also my new MS punch called Cherish.
Sentiment is one of LOTV new calendar ones.
I've just added a little bit of glitter and a few pearls to finish off the card.

Across the Miles is our challenge this week from Bah Humbug.
I've used a very old PSX stamp for the image and just added a touch of blue colouring from the ink pad.
Backing paper is from stash. Cuttlebug large snowflake die used. Stampin Up scalled edge punch and ovals punches also used.

Sometimes I do get odd requests for cards and this time a friend wanted a card with a caravan on.
This is quite an old PSX stamp which I've coloured with Copic pens, imagehas then been layered up.
Background paper from stash, Cuttlebug Distressed stripes used across the centre, the large photo corner is SU and the smaller one a Quickutz.
SU oval punches, computor generation sentiment.

Borrowed this stamp from a friend as I just love it, it's an old PSX stamp called Parott Tulip.
Image coloured with Copic pens, the background has been coloured using Adirondack Caramel and SU So Saffron. Background script stamp is by Impression Obession and has been inked in Adirondak Caramel. Backing paper from my 'stash'. I've cut an small doily into quarters inked it with Caramel and added some pearls.
Finally added a satin ribbon bow,

This is a PSX stamp called Mare with Foal. Background papers are from the MME collection called Bloom & Grow, Cuttlebug flower die, Cutttlebug bubbles embossing folder and leaves are punched from a L-Em punch.
Image stamped in Versafine and then coloured with 'Walnut Stain' Distress Ink and green water colour. Birthday wishes sentiment was computer generated. Ribbon added to finish off the card.

Here are another couple of samples for our club night next Wednesday.........

The girls will have a choice of either using Floral stamps to paint or images from the Summer by the Sea SU set.
