Lizzie Love's new digi stamps

I'm so in love with Lizzie Loves range of stamps - so quirky and so perfect for adding to inky backgrounds that I bought quite a few (as you do)!!! All of her lovely digital images are big eyed girls - just beautiful!!!

I inked up a piece of cardstock using various Distress Inks and stencils.  Added some stars and a Tim Holtz sentiment.  Lizzie Loves digital image Image 6 has been coloured in with Copics with lots of stickles added to her hair and here it is....


I am entering this little wall hanging into the following challenges:

The Hobby House challenge - Buttons

Today is a new challenge over at The Hobby House challenge blog and our theme this month is - BUTTONS.

Its not often I make cards but an idea of a heart surrounded by buttons popped into my mind once I had that beautiful embellishment kit ' Raspberry & Cream ' in my hands lol.


I have used quite buttons, pearls, diamanties and ribbon all from the kit and still had plenty left over for various other products so well worth the value!!

I hope the design team have inspired you to join in with us but please remember to be eligible for the £25 Hobby House voucher please mention in you post the product you have used.  

Thanks for looking

The Hobby House challenge - Ribbon

Today is my day to show off my challenge piece for the ribbon challenge over at The Hobby House.  With all the ribbon available in the shop took ages to decide on what to create but then I spied a polystyrene ball and that was that!!!  I used 3" wide cream ribbon to create the ruffle effect by sewing a long running stitch down the centre of the ribbon (8 metres) and pulled it to create the ruffle and pinned it in place with small pins into the polystyrene ball.  Added some little ruffle flowers, wrapped pink ribbon round the wooden stem and here it is.....

A little love banner

Over at My Artistic Adventures Heather is hosting her first challenge - Love or Valentine.  The only rule is that you use an element from her fabulous collage sheets available here.  I chose 'Romantic Focals Cupid Texts Boxes - absolutely gorgeous!!!

I decided to make a little banner using many of the images from the collage sheet - after cutting them out I edged them with Ranger Vintage Photo stickles.  Added some ribbon and some large Roses, both available from The Hobby House and here it is...






Looking forward to the next challenge
