The Sun is Shining

Wowser the sun really is shining today ,

 washing is on the line  = tick

housework done = half a tick

patio doors open = tick

craft desk awaits = BIG tick

So today I have been playing with the amazing freebie gift from issue 188 of Simply Cards & papercraft ~ I have had a subscription for this magazine for many years now , the freebies always amaze me, and this one was incredible it was a Layered Daffodil die collection from Altenew.

So very simple to use 

I started of by cutting out my tag using my portrait and using a small punch punched a hole for my ribbon.

I then used Distress Oxide Inks for the background ~ (Keeping to lighter shades as I wanted the focus to be drama on the Daffodils)

Next I used a couple of stamps from Daisy Friends ~ the Friend sentiment and the floral border 

It was then time to cut my Daffodils and leafs ~ I had great fun deciding on colours and after a few experiments I went for the Black and White versions

For the base colour and the main colour I cut these both in White cardstock and edged the Base piece slightly with Black Soot Oxide Ink

The stamens and top part were cut in Black cardstock.

For the leafs I used White cardstock as the main parts and Black for the shadows

I shaped the Main White top of the Daffodil using my  ball tool and then adhered that with 3d glue ~ In real life it has so much depth.

I stamped  couple of little Bee's from  Bee Nice Sentiments Stamp Pack

and finished with some Narcissus sequins from Lucy's Cards

and a smidge of  Sheer Puff Dot ribbon from Crafty Ribbons tied with a little twine

Happy Tuesday 

I have had another happy morning playing with my freebies (again)

This time making some ATC Coins

Twice the addiction ~ I love making the coins and I so love these stamps!

(read more about the stamps here)

I started of with a coat of white Gesso and then used Distress Oxide inks for the backgrounds

added some splashes of water and then a splash of black paint

Then I was in Stamping Heaven using the various stamps

I coloured up using Ecoline Brush Pens

Added a few random stencil circles using sequin waste 

I then doodled around using Posca Pens

Finished of the backs with Mike Deakin's ATCoin back digi page that you can find here

Hello Friend

Happy Sunday to you all, I hope you have a lovely day with lots of nice things planned

I have my Daughter and Granddaughter round later for roast beef and all the trimmings nom nom.

Today I am sharing another tag/journal entry I haven't yet decided but I loved making it

Some time back in Simply Cards & Papercraft there was a massive freebie

absolutly jam pack full of Ranger mixed media stamps and stencils (If you saw Friday's post it has all the details)

I started of with the background using Distress Oxides splashing with water and then splashed a smidge of black paint ~ I wanted this to be quite dark in comparison to my other which was quite bright but I somehow can not resist the pink!!

I may set myself a challenge No PINK Allowed!! hmmm we shall see on that one 

I used lots of the freebie stamps (all stamps used were freebies) - I totally adore the silhouette the detail is amazing

I coloured uo using Ecoline Brush Pens, using just two colours

I did a little doodle at one side 

and some faux stitching across the top

I found the gaps left were quite big so I used some sequin waste with Distress Oxides and finished with some sequins

Thank you so much for stopping by

I have had a wonderful Friday 

The sun has had his hat on, always makes me feel good when the sun shines.

Had the patio door open and got my craft on.

Some time back in Simply Cards & Papercraft there was a massive freebie

absolutly jam pack full of Ranger mixed media stamps and stencils

There are tons more than what I used today so watch this space.

I started off making a tag, but half way through decided it would probably end up in my new journal.

I used Distress inks for the background and splattered a little water I never tire of this wonderful effect.

I used the flower stencil by Dylusions and used pickled raspberry Oxide ink.

The quirky fun bird , mushroom tops and stems also by Dylusions as is the sentiment stamp

How amazing is that sentiment!!

I also used the words Fierce, Worthy and Brave from the Dina Wakley collection

I have used Distress inks for colouring 

Finished off with a little doodling
