Swinging Ella from Pink Gem Designs

Hello everyone I hope that you have had a lovely day today 🐘💖🐘

Here is a cute anniversary card that I’ve made for a customer using a digital stamp from PinkGemDesigns called Swinging Ella.

Marci in Pink - Easel Card

Hello everyone……I hope you are having a lovely Sunday.

We had a lovely day out yesterday…. a little shopping then the cinema to watch Top Gun - Maverick followed by a delicious meal in a lovely restaurant in the Nevada shopping centre near Granada.
Today we’ve been moving some storage off the upstairs terrace so we can use it by the pool.......but now it’s time to cool off.🌝🌝🌝

My card today is a simple easel shaped card using Heart Cupcake Marci again....this is the last of the 3 that I had coloured.

Marci is a digital stamp by La-La Land Crafts

I love making easel cards as they are so simple to make but are beautiful shape. For this one I've incorporated layered die cut hearts, a layer of designer paper with a smaller vellum layer.

I've added fussy cut hearts over the vellum layer to mirror the paper below and added glossy accents to the hearts.

Enjoy the rest of your day 💓💓💓

Objects of Interest blog

Good morning everyone I hope that you’re all ok and are having a good week so far. 

We’ve been really busy over the past few days, catching up with friends and trying to finish all the little jobs around the pool….before family comes to stay.

There’s still a few more things to finish off but all the work now has to be in the morning as it’s getting far to hot from around noon until about 7pm…. Not that I’m complaining as it means more time to relax and colour by the pool.

Today I’m sharing a blog post of a friend here in Spain…. I was asked a few questions about how I started making cards etc for her blog and thought you might like to have a read.

The blog is called Objects of Interest  objects-ofinterest

Lavender from Krista Smith

Hello everyone I hope that you’ve had a lovely weekend…. We’ve been busy this weekend tidying and cleaning around the pool after all the renovation work and things are starting to get back to normal after the calima from a few weeks ago…. JJ has been busy painting and I’ve been cleaning more windows … it feels never ending but hopefully there won’t be any more bad dust/mud falls

I just wanted to share a work in progress with you today… it’s another beautiful image from Krista Leigh Smith called Lavendar that I’ve finished colouring today…. She just needs to be added to a card now.

I do love being able to sit outside and colour … it’s so relaxing listening to all the birds….
I’ve used my Winsor & Newton Promarkers to colour her in and I’m pleased with her so far

Heart Cupcake Marci - part 1

Hello everyone……wishing you all a wonderful Tuesday …. I’ve been doing some pottering around this morning in the garden… collecting more windfall oranges off the ground before they get chopped up by the lawn mower. Just sat down for a cup of tea, a chill before making lunch and thought I’d share my latest colouring.

I’ve had this cute digital stamp for such a long time but never actually got around to colouring her in
Marci was a digital stamp in Kit and Clowder Online Colouring Classes four years ago sponsored by La-La Land Crafts and there is even a free class over on YouTube showing how to colour in this cute little girl if you are interested in giving it a try.
https://youtu.be/wQRUIbEohDI

Marci is still available in the shop too if you want to buy her
https://www.lalalandcrafts.com/Heart-Cupcake-Marci-Digi...

I’ve coloured her in a few different combinations with my Winsor & Newton promarkers but thought this version was perfect with these designer papers.
Enjoy the rest of your day
