Home
Here's a New Home card I designed and cut with my Silhouette digital cutter. I stencilled a very light brick pattern onto the green panel. The patterned effect on the lower part of the gold heart is just a reflection...grrr!

Plants and Triangles
Lots of fiddly masking for this one! I used plants from a MFT set (coloured with Promarkers and embellished with black and white pens) and a Tim Holtz stencil.

Bee my Valentine
Just for fun, made a bee-themed valentine card using an old Jellypark digi, coloured with Promarkers. I layered two stencils to make the honeycomb heart and printed the sentiment from my computer.

Peacock Valentine
Oh, I'm finding it difficult getting good photos at the moment. Not sure how much of it is due to winter and how much is the low light levels in our flat.
Just in case you've been following my exciting life :) - we moved to a new town a month ago. The house we were buying fell through and so now we're renting a much smaller flat, while we wait for the (different) house we're buying to become vacant. So it's back to crafting on the table and clearing it all away before a meal - not great for my creative juices. (I've also had to put most of my craft stuff into storage.) I can't grumble though, there'll be plenty of space for a craft room in our new house.
Anyway, here's a Valentine's card for my partner, using die cut letters and a stamp by Avery Elle.

Inkspirational Challenges : Heart Garland Photo
Although I haven't posted it previously, this was made for my daughter's wedding last August. I used my Silhouette digital cutter to design and cut it. As it was a same-sex wedding, there weren't many suitable cutting files to buy, so I created my own, welding together the heart, word and silhouettes found online; and cutting them out of silver glitter card.
I hope you'll join in the challenge at Inkspirational.

40th Birthday - Summer in Winter
I made this pop-up box card for a December birthday but the birthday girl loves sunshine holidays and I thought this'd stand out from her Christmas cards!
I used a mix of dies cut from a Silhouette digital cutter and a sentiment stamp (MFT I think) .

Inkspirational Challenges- Cozy
Our latest challenge at Inkspirational has been chosen by Carol and is....
For my DT card I used a Pure Innocence digital image , coloured with Promarkers - she looks cozy in her scarf and gloves, doesn't she? Personally, in the snow I'd need a thermal base layer and a huge coat too!

This card is for my son's birthday - it's not till next week but I have no fear that he'll see this post as he has zero interest in mum's blogging!
