Ahoy Mateys!

When I saw this cute little pirate stamp I knew I just had to have him! He is "Brave Captain" by Nellie Snellen and I think he is just so sweet. I have coloured him with copics and chalk and added bling around him as his 'treasure'. I recently bought a gorgoeus paper stack full of awesome pirate themed papers so I have used them in this card too. Ahoy me hearty!

Here is another card I have made featuring a gorgeous stamp deisgned by Crissy Armstrong for Whimsy Stamps called "Wee Snippet and Mystic". Isn't she just gorgeous? I have a number of Crissy's stamps now and I just love them. I have coloured her with copics and added glossy accents and glitter. On my flowers and rose buds I put some glossy accents on them and then dipped them in glitter so they are nice and sparkly.

Show Us Your Flowers!

We are now onto challenge #2 at Hooked On Craft Challenges! I can't believe all the fabulous enteries for the first challenge.

Challenge #2 is "SHOW US YOUR FLOWERS". How great is this challenge? I adore flowers so this was such a fun theme for me! I have made a flower pot card. This card is quite easy to make and the centre part pulls out and has room for a sentiment. I found a tutorial for this card at Inspirational Tips, Techniques and Tutorials. My stamp, flowers, leaves and lace are all from Hooked On Craft.

So break out all your flowers and decorate your papercrafts with them and join us at Hooked On Craft Challenges! Can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

Sweet Purple Blossom!

Here is a card I have made using a very gorgeous digi stamp called "Sweet Blossom" from Wee Stamps. I just adore all the stamps from Sylvia Zet and this one has to be one of my favourties! I think I own nearly all of them now, so please Sylvia; we want more of your gorgeous stamps! I coloured my stamp with copics and added some bling to her flowers (I love bling nearly as much as I love glimmer mist!). My flowers have all had a good dose of glimmer mist in 'fully purple', 'pop rocks' and 'spring rain' so they are nice and shimmery.

Please let me know what you think, I love everyone's comments!
