Sunset Seagull Card

I used Seafaring Seagull Frame from Meljens and I was totally inspired by a card I saw over at my blogging friend Brenda’s of Floral Fantasies and have had something in mind for a while. I enjoyed making the background.

Astronaut Card

I have wanted to make a space card for ages and I’ve often seen rocket ships on boys cards and I was inspired by an article in an Australian Simply Cards to start creating. I started by carefully studying the night sky above my house and noticed that most of the stars were in a bit of a line directly above the house, I think it’s called the Milky Way so I placed my stars that I punched from some Kaisercraft designer paper in a similar line. I used a blank white cardstock card base and created my night sky using only 2 different blue inks Adirondack- Denim and Stampin Up- Tempting Turquoise I applied the inks using my Sponging block just like  I had seen Tim Holtz create a distressed background for a bookmark he made me when he was last in Australia. Then I used one of my home made green mica powder mists to help create my arty distressed night sky, that totally shimmers if you hold the card at an angle. I’m very happy with the result. Then my astronaut had to land in a rocket ship which I just hand drew straight onto some silver and red papers, and my daughter reminded me that my astronaut needed a couple of windows in his rocket ship so he could look outside,excellent point and duly noted and added! I made the flag from a bamboo skewer that I coloured with my Copics so it matched my beary cute astronaut.

Chocolate Bunny Card

I decided to challenge myself to make a fussy with flowers Easter card!I don’t have a sewing machine yet, so I added some faux stitching for some extra detailing, combined with buttons and a  bow.It’s been a work in progress for days until I was happy.
