so happy.. Purple Onion Designs.

Hi there, I just think this little mouse from the Wishing Stamp set by Stacey Yacula Stamp is just the cutest...I coloured all the images with copies and then used a white gel pen to add some dots to the dress of the little mouse.
I also also used Tucker the snail, a fave of mine.
These stamps are all available at "Purple Onion Designs"
extras.. Lawn Fawn Die.

my freind... Purple Onion Designs...

Hi there, my card today to share was created using Stacey Yacula Stamps from 
 "Purple Onion Designs"
I gave Jackson and Bubbles some texture by using an Aida ( cross stitch) cloth with Bending Solution before colouring in the rest of the image with copics.
 I also used  Tucker- snail and paper pieced a dandelion flower and added a couple of extra ripped circles to give the flower dimension. The Dandelion stamp  from the Wishing Stamp Set.
The background paper is a journaling card of which I layered spotted paper and then cut out with a Lawn Fawn die.

Happy Birthday Shery...

Hi There, today's card has been made to celebrate the birthday of lovely Shery, owner of  the stamp company STAMPlorations.
Now as a surprise we were asked to answer a few questions..
First being Favourite Stamp.. mmmm that's easy for me...
the NEW stamp  Sketched CUPCAKE from STAMPlorations.  I just can't stop wanting to use it...This is my absolute all time favourite... I just love it!!!! It doesn't matter how you choose to colour your cupcake , it always comes up with Fantastic results. So a heads up, you will be seeing lots of cards with this fab image, lol...
Second question... favourite book...
Now Shery loves books and is actually a ghost writer and author ...now unfortunately I don't get a lot of time to read but when I do I can't pass a good Murder, who dunnit! something that leaves me guessing till the end... no particular author stands out it's just what I find at the time..

Now onto my card, a little water colouring the embossed stamp with Peerless watercolours- a little bling, a splatter stamp, heart and candle.

Happy, Happy Birthday Shery , wishing you an awesome day and a wonderful year and hope you get spoilt rotten.
