Penny Black Challenge

Well heres my entry for the Penny Black Challenge, anything goes! I love purple and pink together so decided to with that, and I am so pleased how the image came out, apart from the pink balloon, but seeing as I have only had my watercolour pencils a couple of weeks I was pleased. I used Penny Black 'Bubbly' stamps, papermania texture card and some background paper from Dove craft.

Not only that my first ever Tilda Stamps arrived today, I told the postman I loved him, because they only took a week to arrive, fortunately he didnt understand me because he's Turkish!! I can't wait to ink them up tonight and colour her in.......ah bliss! I have Tilda with Rubber ring, and Tilda eating ice cream, both of which I haven't seen on many creations. I decided on those because I want to make some special cards for the tourists. Watch this space to find out what else I have on the way, shall I tell you......ummm no I'l wait till later, I am so excited feels like my birthday or something!!

Stampin Chic challenge

Well this is the first challenge card I have ever made, and I have to say I found this a little difficult but I liked the challenge I having to stick to a sketch, quite often a card doesnt turn out how I pictured and I go off ona tangent somewhere. So here is my card using Claire Curds sketch from stampin chic!! All products from the stampin chic range, plus a pit of papermania texture card, glitz glitter and black ink with embossing! Thanks for looking, now I just have to suss out how to link this, wish me luck!!!

To Busy To Blog!!

I can't believe how busy I have been with cards and jewellery lately. I am trying to get everything ready for the summer season, and I just havn't had the time for any photography!! Well I am here now!! So to make up for it I have a few things to show you, they are all using the Claire Curd Signature Range, and I have there blog to thank for the inspiration for these pieces thanks girls.
Butterfly card, I put another Dingle Dangle with Happy Birthday as I have really fell in love with them, I used my new watercolour pencils to colour the butterfly, and I did a bit of clear embossing for the first time!!

Second card again another butterfly, and I love the small butterfly sitting on a flower.

And lastly my favourite, the stamps are also from the Claire Curd Range, and I used my new watercolours again, I am so pleased with how the image came out. I also added my own handmade earrings, all silver plated and my favourite Swarovski crystal.



Well I hope you agree I have been busy, and its time to get back to it again, only this time a bracelet card.

Blog Improvements!!

Well I was looking at my blog today and thought it needed little bit of improving, and I thought I would make a seperate one for cards, but then I would lose all the info about jewellery, and I do some love the two together, especially when I design jewellery cards!! So I decided on a new name Curious cards, but I may well change this! Me being Little Miss Indecisive!!
