Altenew to me any way!!

Hi hope you are well today, I have been inspired once again by a stamp collection from Altenew, and wow I love these so much their style is elegant and unique, and although I love quirky and cute these are, simplistic, and fresh and i love them.

I have already been to the website and found an array of stamp and die sets that i really, really like.
on this card I have used the build a rose stamp and die set and teamed it with some distress ink splats and a few clear droplets to make it look like rain drops and also a few sequins to embellish.



And as usual a close up

  I added tome embossing to the greeting, which is also from the set and a wink of stella to the rose just because, he he I hope you can see improvements to my photography as well I have been practicing.

Till next time thanks for stopping by

Happy Mail


Hello hope you are having a good afternoon on this a dreary day, but i hope my next post brightens it up a little for you as i am totally excited about Lawn Fawn stamps at the moment, and i am also playing with Altenew as well which are totally genius for clean and simple fun cards.
This card is from the set Happy mail, correct me if im wrong and it also includes scripty sentiments. In the background i have used Argyle back drops which im loving as it goes well in any color. For a change im giving you the close up first.

Mama Elephant

Well thankfully my friends very rarely get sick its usually me, lol, so I never get the chance to send a get well card, but this one was really cute, I cased this from My sweet petunia and i loved how simple and effective it is. I changed the color to a sickly green which makes it all the more a get well because those emotions dont look well at all, but it still has a fun element to it, I took the advise of sweet petunia and double stamped first in memento ink to color then over stamped with Versafine, and then stamped again in Versamark, I then embossed to give it a more raised look.



And as usual here's a close up, I added some gems as i couldn't resist

Hope you enjoy this post see you soon




Organisation and inspiration

I think organisation clears the mind, tidy work space tidy mind. I have always liked solutions that make my crafting easier and quicker, and this one from Connie Stewart has to be the best one that i have found for ink refills


And on that note, I was also organizing my wardrobe and came across a dress that i had not worn for at least ten years, it is from a big department store on sale and i have never worn red before but I loved it, I had also purchased a small gold handbag, so that inspired me to create this card that i really liked once id finished it with the patchwork perfection dies from Tonic studios, red and gold card and a small sentiment from my stash.




 
Hope you like it see you soon.
