Amazing you - ATC (artist trading card)

Amazing you - ATC

Today I have been busy making ATCs for some special people, who shall remain nameless ;)

I wanted to use up some scrap metallic gift wrap that I had and also some found flowers, which were lost until I decided to tidy up my craft supplies. Lol.

Anyway, here is one of the cards.

I will be doing a video tutorial on how to make these cards, so keep a look out for that.

Thanks for visiting.

Summer in blue - mixed media card

Summer in blue - mixed media card

On this card I have painted and used stencils to create a background, which was added as the second layer to the card base.

Next I added one of my hand painted flowers on top with a flatback pearl embellishment.

The lace trim below that is a sticky back tape.

The last thing to go on was a stamped and die cut greeting which is on dimensionals.

I'm entering this one to the Mixed media card challenge blog

I hope you like the card.

Thank you for visiting.

Friendship postcard swap

Friendship postcard swap

Hi everyone. I hope your week is off to a good start. Mine is with the arrival of some lovely happy mail from a swap I was taking part in over at International crafters Facebook group.

For this swap we had to make a postcard for our partner on the theme of friendship and use at least one item that we had received in previous happy mail. 

This is the postcard I made. The background paper and heart sticker were both items from happy mail.

My partner in the swap was Soraya, and today I was so happy and excited to receive a postcard and extra goodies from her. She did a fantastic job on the postcard. I love it.

Here are the beautiful items she sent me. 

I will certainly be having fun with those extras soon!

Thank you Soraya :)

#lovesummerart day 2 - watercolour/mixed media tag

Colourful summer tags

I have been playing with watercolours, ink and heat embossing today.
This was my fun, colourful project for day 2 of the YouTube artist/crafters event #lovesummerart.

To me Summer is about bright colours, flowers, butterflies and also warmer days where I can go out without having to don my winter coat, thermal gloves and hat ;)
We don't get a lot of warm dry days here in Scotland.

I would love to hear what Summer means to you.

Anyway here is my project. I hope you like seeing these pretty tags.

I also have a video of how these tags were made so please do check that out.

Thank you for visiting.
