Mixed Media Butterflies - Whimsy Stamps

 Hello everyone.

It's Sue here today!

I hope this week is being kind to you.

I am having such fun lately making an inky mess! I have been playing with texture paste and sparkle again!

I have made a set of scripture themed cards - it meant a lot to me to make these, I'm probably not alone in saying that faith has been on somewhat shaky ground recently!
To create the backgrounds I used Magical Powders by Lindy's Stamp Gang.  I have only just discovered these little pots of gorgeousness but oh my word, if you like getting inky they are game changers!

I combined the backgrounds with some beautiful Dies To Die For products and have to say I did feel happy with the final designs!

Ingredients from Dies To Die For

I die cut a rectangle of Kraft Card with the largest die from the
and blended Catherine Pooler Ink in Samba over it.  The cloud template was created with a die from the 

I then die cut some strips of Kraft card for the ground using the 
and the 

I stamped beautiful Syeda onto card suitable for alcohol markers

I layered the design onto a piece of design paper from the

Bear / Calories Schmalories

Morning everyone!  Squirrel here today

Who here likes a cupcake (or buns as we used to call them)?  They do seem to have come up in the world rather from their humble beginnings to confections of incredible detail.  They are certainly a good way of providing cake to an audience who may have wildly varying tastes and/or dietary requirements

And of course, they are simply delicious too!


This little chap looks happy with his cake anyway

(the grammar queen in me says Your Birthday, but hey)

That cake is making me feel peckish......

Hugs all

Special memories...

Hello everyone,

I hope it's a happy Monday!

Here's something a little different from me which I really enjoyed making!
I made this card by die cutting a 
card blank and card design background.

I heat embossed the circle with the 
using an embossing Pad and embossing Powder.
I fixed this to the card blank and set it aside.

Next I 
heat embossed the

I coloured the reverse of the flowers with Copics, R35, RV95, Y38, YG67 and fixed them to the card design as shown.

I added a 
Special Large Word Die cut
and stamped the memories sentiment from the 
You're My Jolly Clear Stamp Set
