Happy Birthday Bunny






Gorgeous sunny day here in Manchester UK so to bring a little sunshine into your life if you are not getting any sun here is another 15 x 15 cm cute card handcrafted from me featuring 'Warren' the bunny.  This time he is offering the birthday present of 'Carrots' ....... well I suppose for a rabbit that's appropriate.  He has been coloured with Copic markers.  The card is available HERE in my Etsy store if you would like to own it.








He is layered onto an embossed die-cut frame over some candy striped card with a sparkle.








The card is embellished with a lime green grosgrain ribbon and bow.








Some lime green pearls have been added along the bottom of the card to finish.

One a Day





Here is a 3D postcard measuring 6 x 4 inches.  This one would be very challenged going through the post without losing some of its components in transit so this was done as part of a swap over on UK Stampers where we could send our dimensional postcards in an envelope or padded bag to preserve their art through the post.








The background is of teal stained wood and is a digital print I have applied some Viva gold paint in splodges to the background also on the left.  This has been embellished with some black chipboard frames with inchies behind.  I have also done some flourish stamping in Memento tuxedo black.






The flourishes are die-cut using a Sizzix die and these have been edged with a black fineliner pen.  I have also used some moss green floral Washi tape, gold Posca pen and some gorgeous green flat backed cabochons.  Finishing touches were to add some Versamagic chalk ink in touch of pesto around the edge and some faux stitches.

Nice sentiment as we all learn at least one thing each day don't we ?

Owl of Achievement





This ATC is going to America, to be framed as a symbol of learning for a University tutor who kindly asked me to make it specially to go on the wall of her study .......... hope you like it Charlotte. I have used mountboard as the base.






The collaged ATC is made up from various images, stamping and penwork.







The whole thing has been edged in blue chalk ink. Hope it is what she was expecting !
