Duck for Christmas?

 Made this trio of Christmas tags using a cute little stamp I think was by Crafters Companion it is years old. But was perfect for this tag design idea. 

I used some simple techniques I learned at Lavinia stamps on the weekend.

Coloured using watercolour pencils and used white pigment ink in the background. 

A touch of Posca pen and a little gem for the mistletoe.

Halloween Postcard

 Not sure when I last made a postcard.

But here is one I have made using some autumnal colour Distress Inks in the inky background and went for a Halloween vibe with some Stampotique images which were coloured with Promarkers and watercolour pencil. 

The words are some of my favourite phrases again by the sadly no more Stampotique…sniff!

Added some spooky black netting and stitching as a finishing touch.

Boo!

 Used a metal lid from a tin as the base for this Halloween decoration.

Covered it in washitape. 

The background I blended ink through a stencil and added some spooky stamping.

The main stamped images is by Stampotique and I layered this up a bit to create dimension.

Finishing touches were some black sparkly lettering and some net/web fabric.

Made this birthday card using a stamp by Lavinia, background created using Lavinia Dinkles and the image was coloured using Promarkers…plus some white posca pen. The image was mounted onto a wood effect paper (Docrafts) which I found on my stash .

Lolly pop Bookmarks

 Made these book marks from large lolly pop sticks.

After a coat of gesso I stamped my first bookmark with image by Stampotique and added a sentiment to the back. The second bookmark was stamped using kitchen images by AAll and Create…this bookmark is to go inside by favourite cookbook.

Front

The bookmarks were painted using Inktense blocks and a touch of watercolour pencil.

I decorated with some twine and made a matched wooden embellishment to add to the ends.
