Ladybird Pegs

Made these altered wooden pegs to clip on the side of some of my house plant basket pots.

After a layer of gesso, I stamped this leaf design by Stampotique and then painted using Inktense blocks.

The finishing touch was the little wooden ladybird embellishment.

Merry Beary!

Made a couple of Christmas decorations which I plan on sending to people rather than a card.

I used three stencils to create the background.

Two by Crafters Workshop and One by My Favourite Things.

The cute beat image is part of a set by Funky Fossil and this was coloured using Promarkers.

The two card circles ai used with were stitched together using a sewing machine.

Floral Gate

 Made this special birthday card using large lolly sticks, which I inked and stamped with Distress inks and a wooden effect stamp by Stampers Anonymous.

The flowers and foliage stamps are my Crafty Individuals and were coloured using Promarkers with a touch of coloured pencils for extra shading.

Cosy Crafting

 

While having a craft tidy up I found this little mini canvas and decided it would be great for a little Christmas hanging decoration. The Zinski PaperArtsy image was stamped onto the canvas and then I used watercolour paint to colour it. To add more dimension I stamped the image onto watercolour paper and again water-coloured the image a few times to create decoupage effect.
