Pug Love

Inked up a new stamp from a set by Funky Fossil Designs for this art journal page.

Inky background with stamping, washi tape and the image was coloured with Promarkers.

Went for a quirky triangular shaped page in my loose leaf journal.

Don’t be afraid little one…

 

She is just such a cute tiny image by Stampotique Originals.

Another journal page for my little handmade journal. Use some layered up washi tapes to ground my image and then fancied sewing onto the page.

The main image and the leaves on the back of the page are all coloured with Promarkers. Inky background using both stencils and stamping.

Swallow Stitching

 

Over the past couple of summer months ai have been slow stitching these projects using my own swallow design.

First up a little wool felt swallow hanger.

Then been wanting to make an embroidery thread holder for ages and have finally done it!

Christmas Pugs

 

Used some digi stamps for a change that I recently won as a prize by Lili Of the Valley.

Quick and simple Christmas cards coloured using Promarkers and added some hand stamped sentiments/snowflakes.

Just Bee Happy

 

Really pleased with how this card turned out. I haven’t used shrink plastic in ages but the bees in this Woodware set of stamps were too big for the design as it developed. Even used some stick on fabric letters, along with inky background and some colouring using Promarkers.

Journal Curve Time

Really enjoy different page shapes in this journal, trying to change things up each month. Used a stamp I hadn’t inked before by Carabelle Studio designed by Kate Crane…but added the skirt and legs myself.

Lots of inky stencil work and stamping throughout this page.
