Mice Cream

What lovely weather we are having and making the most of it.

Today my card has a summery theme. It’s the right weather for ice cream and I’ve use an image from House Mouse Ice cream JSHM001. I’ve used Promarkers to colour the image and added some die cut circles, gems and an ice cream embellishment.

 I’d like enter this card into the following challenges:

R A I N B O W

Over at Fab n Funky the challenge is Anything but a Card and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to show one of my quilling pictures.

The strips of paper are hand cut by myself so not perfect. I’ve slightly pushed out the centre of the coils to give a raised effect.


Quilling has turned into my new found love.

Stay safe

C.R.A.F.T Blog Hop

I thought this would be great to do. Over at C.R.A.F.T. Challenge there is a birthday blog hop. I once was a DT for this Blog but life got in the way. Things never stay the same.

Celebrating their 11th year, which is great. I don’t know how Jo does it to be honest. The theme is Birthday so why not join in.


For my card I created the background with Tim Holtz distress inks and used Lavinia stamps for the tree door, mushrooms, and Hares.

Here goes

Bicycle Ride

Another Penny Black image called  .....for a spin. Over at Penny Black Saturday the challenge is inspired by a song. This one reminds of Queen, Bicycle a Ride, which I can’t help singing in my head every time I see people on their bike rides, especially at the moment.

I used Promarkers to colour, some glossy accents on the beaks, hooves horns and bike and added a couple of die cut clouds.

I’d like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Men/Boys Card

It’s lovely to drag out my Penny Black stamps again. I came across this footballer which makes a great male card. It’s called ‘On the Ball’.

I’ve kept it simple by colouring the image with Promarkers, added thre red star buttons and a football button under his foot.

Creating Your On Background

I hope you had a lovely VE Day. We had a little street tea party this afternoon.....at a distance of course. The weather was good to us.

My card this evening is a stamp by Lavinia Stamps which I love. I used distress inks for this and a little Brusho’s to splatter. I love creating a reverse image giving the appearance of a reflection.

I’d like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Make it a Male Card

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted any cards, but it’s because I’ve been busy making a paper quilling rainbow picture, finishing off another cardigan for my other granddaughter and doing a garden project. This lockdown is tough as a nanny. I’m missing my grandchildren so much, but better to be safe at home and one day we will be all together again, and they will be having their sleep overs.

My card this evening is a male theme. I’ve used House Mouse stamp Ride of Your Life. I’ve coloured the image in with Promarkers and added some glossy accents. The background is from an old map book. I also found a metal heart embellishment with grey polka dot ribbon threaded through.
