Boofle

It‘s been a while now that I receive regularly Boofle cards from my OH.  I adore this little knitted doggy and no wonder that I went crazy when I saw that he would be a new baby in the family of DO crafts.

The card presented was created with the free stamp- Boofle from Creativity magazine.

Boofle was stamped and coloured with Spectrum Noir pens. Then once cut out, it was mounted on a white square card which was layered with different elements:

• Brown square card whose edges were distressed,
• Distressed square card which was embossed with the Tri-boss universal embossing folder – mixed buttons  from DO crafts,
• Grunge postcard stamp from Additions distressed with Tim Holtz vintage photo ink stamp
• And, stamp elements from rhe free stamp present from Stamping for You magazine from Debbi Moore.

Hello everyone,

I was surprised and honoured when I found a message from dear and talented Lousie about this lovely award that I was given  the other day.

The idea of the LIEBSTER BLOG AWARD is to spread the love from one small blog (under 200 followers) to other small blogs. This helps to spread the knowledge and readership.

To accept the award, you must:

1. Link back to the person who gave it and to thank them for thinking of you.
2. Post the award to your blog.
3. Give the award to 5 bloggers (with less than 200 followers) that you appreciate and value.
4. Leave a comment on the blogs of the five people you have chosen to let them know. ‘Liebster’ in German means ‘dearest, so to carry on the Liebster tradition, I am going to pass this award on to 5 people whose blogs have  been an inspiration to me.

These talented ladies are:

Svjetlana
Debbie
Karmakrafts
Jackie

Mini Gifts - Postie Pads

These are my favourite little gifts that can be given to anyone. You have the same idea executed twice in two different ways.





The 'Gorgeous' from Strawberry Kisses-Crafter's Companion was coloured in water colours and mounted on an embossed Core'dinations piece of card.


 


The 'Cutie' was coloured with Spectrum Noir pens from Crafter's Companion
and mounted on some Core'dinations covered from a pressie paper
from Create & Craft magazine.

Watercolouring

One of  my most favourite days in a week is Friday  just because I know I am heading home after work, looking forward to spending a quiet night chatting to my other half,  reading or crafting...

The treat of the night tonight is watercolouring which is my favourite colouring technique, but which, unfortunally, I don't apply very often to my crafting. 

For playing tonight I have chosen these two lovey STRAWBERRY KISSES stamps and and I must stay that I am quite surprised with the final results.

Hope that I have done well.

Playing with My Spectrum Noirs

My Spectrum Noirs have been a great joy to use in creating these two cards.

The first one is from the Humphrey's Corner range -Occasions created for my colleague who's just got a baby boy.

The second one is from the Strawberry Kisses range. I simply called it  'Dream'. The colours are of a holiday dream when one relaxes with a glass of something sparkly and nice.
