Violet in Watercolour

Good morning all. Another bright sunny morning here. Hope it's nice wherever you are! My design for a project using the fab splodgeaway mat is featured on the splodgeaway blog today.

I used distress ink and one of the abstractz masks, blended on my splodgeaway mat to create the background and used the same technique with one of  the new border masks to create the mat.

 

My image is a digistamp, Violet Vintage from Saturated Canary and I used my mat to lay down distress inks which I then used to watercolour my image. Some flowers from my stash, some ribbon and a sentiment finished my card off.

 

Thanx for stopping by. Hope you all have a FAB weekend whatever you're up to! Hugz, Jayne xxxx

 

My Talented Daughter :)

Good morning to you all. Another bright, sunny day hopefully - it's off to a good start anyway! Today I would like to share with you the card my daughter, Bridie made for her dad for father's day.
She's 13 and we like nothing better than to sit and craft together - nothing beats some quality crafty time together!

She used stormy skies distress ink and a splodgeaway mask for the background and my splodgeaway blending mat and more distress inks for the topper before stamping it with some fab seaside themed  stamps which were free in a stamping mag!
Hasn't she done a good job? I love it and I'm sure her dad will be dead chuffed to get it! :)

Thanx for taking the time to look. Hope you all have a fab day whatever you're doing. Hugz, Jayne (and Bridie !) xxxxx

Lovely Ladies

Evening all. (sound like Dixon of Dock Green!!! - showing my age a bit there lol) The challenge over at Octopode this time is 'lovely ladies' and this is my offering.

I've chosen to use Helga - LOVE these images as they're sooo different and quirky. I used a doily and patterned paper from my stash , card candy and the sentiment is from the Frou Frou range at crafters companion. My good mate Carol donated the bee to finish it off !

The marvellous Helga up close n personal!

Thanx for looking. Hope you like my latest offering. I'd really appreciate you commenting. Hugz, Jayne xxxxx

Cute little Tangles

Morning all. What a beautiful start to the day! Sun is shining n the birds are singing. Lets hope it stays like this.
This morning I'd like to share my latest card which I made using tangles instead of colouring my image in. I've only just started doing zentangle so the patterns are pretty basic but I really enjoyed doing it.

The image is from Lily of the valley and I love it - soooo cute! I left the rest of the card pretty plain so as not to detract from the image although I did use embossed pearlised paper from Debbi Moore to add some texture.

A closer look at my tangles!

I really enjoyed doing this - it's soooo relaxing and even if it's not true zentangle I like it lol.
Thanx for stopping by. Have a fab day whatever you're doing. Hugz, Jayne xxxx

Gorjus

Morning all. What a lovely sunny start to the day - hope its gonna be as nice as yesterday. Had a lovely day at the beach yesterday with one of my daughters n it was fab - hot n sunny n not too packed. Today I'm spending time with my other 2 daughters and my grandson with a visit to my mam thrown in !. Looking forward to it !
 I thought I'd share a card I recently made for a friends birthday using the FAB Gorjus stamps.

I wanted to keep this card pretty 'clean' looking - not too fussy so for the background I used a fairly plain piece of patterned paper from my stash with just a small flowered corner on the design.

 

A closer look at my gorjus girl image which I coloured with flexmarkers and promarkers.
I added touches of glitter and the sentiments to finish. The ticket sentiment is from papermania and was originally a background stamp but I cut it up into individual stamps - more for your money lol.
Thanx for looking and I really appreciate all your lovely comments. Have fun whatever you do today. Hugz, Jayne xxx

 

Twenty one !

Morning all. Before I begin my post I'd like to say hello and welcome to all me new followers  and hello to all my older followers! I really appreciate all the lovely comments and feedback you leave for me.
 My eldest daughter has just turned 21 -- where does the time go? As she LOVES PIGS I decided to make her a birthday card with pigs on. The challenge over at I<3 promarkers this week is 'anything goes so I'm entering my card in that challenge.

I drew the '21' freehand and transferred it to an 8x8 card blank. which I covered with patterned papers. The images are a digistamp from Saturated Canary called Hailey n Harley which were coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers.

A closer look at one of the images. LOVE these images they're sooooo cute!

I decorated the edges of the numbers to add definition and added Sian's name with diecut letters and touches of glitter to finish. Hope you like it n don't forget you could make any number you wish for birthdays or anniversarys.
          Thanx for stopping by. BIG hugz, Jayne xxxxx

I'm Back!

Sorry I haven't blogged for such a long time but I've been a bit under the weather n family things took over for a while. This morning while I was nosing on face book I came across the Indigo blu challenge but time was fast running out so I got straight up and made a quick card to enter. The theme was BLUE and this is what I came up with.
I used the Indigo blu nature 1 stamp set which I love and use all the time. I cut strips of patterned black n white paper and coloured it with distress inks. All the stamping was from the set except the bottom sentiment which was from Lili of the valley and a fab birthday gift from my great crafty buddy Sue aka Lou! so thanx for that Sue........love it!

A closer look at the image panel. Anyway I'm off to post it before it closes! Thanx for stopping by. Hugz, Jayne xxxxxxxx
