Still Life Card

 Inked up a stamp I had in my stash for a while but hadn’t used by Crafty Individuals and really pleased how it turned out when coloured in Promarkers and a little watercolour pencil.

I created a mixed media background first using some acrylic paints and stamped with Stampers Anonymous background using Picked Raspberry Archival ink plus a few other stamped elements in white ink.

Be a Rebel Tag

 Made a mixed media tag.

Started with a Gelli print I created using string, then some stencils using mini stencil by That’s Crafty and Distress Inks including Picked Raspberry. Used two different stamps on the background (Stampotique and PaperArtsy).

The main image was coloured using Promarkers with some hot pink and watercolour pencils.

Finished off with some AAll and Create washi tape and a few gems.

Easter stamp cards

 Made some little Easter cards by making my own little stamp topper.

I die cut the little postage stamp, stencils and stamped the background then added a little Easter sticker as the focal point.

Grungy Star Christmas

 Went a bit grungy with the inky background and then some little stars added with a mini stencil

The star stamps are from an old set by Carabelle, which I stamped and coloured using Promarkers.

Decided to use die to create a different little card shape.

Pear Tree Rudolph Day

  Managed to get some time at my craft table today and rummaged out a Christmas stamp to celebrate the 25th of the month.

The stamp is my Stampendous and I coloured it using a mix of Promarkers and watercolour pencils.

I created a little dimension by decoupaging some of the elements on the design but went for a CAS style.

Rudolph Day 2026

 It’s the first Rudolph Day of 2026 and 

 I am pleased to be a guest designer over at Rudolph Days challenge blog this month.

Here is the card I made using a Woodware stamp.

First I stamped onto Kraft card and then paper pieced some of the images which I coloured using Promarkers and watercolour pencils.

I decided to mount it into a card blank and cut it out to make a cute shaped card.

Please come and join us over at Rudolph Days challenge this month!
