Sarah Kay–Puppy Love

Here’s a card showcasing one of my beloved Sarah Kay stamps, this one is Puppy Love.

The papers are those gorge Bildmalarna Wild Flowers again, lazy me hadn’t put them away after the last card I made (plus I LOVE these colours together).  

The hearts are one of my new purchases, they are from the Impression Obsession Heart Stems , who needs leaves with this beauty!  The corner is a La-La Land Filigree Corner die

Sarah Kay for mothers day

I was asked to make a mothers day card and what better image than this sweet Pia by Stampavie.

The gorgeous papers are by Inkido, and the doily die and banner, alphabet and Vintage Flourish 6003/0032 that I used for the leaves are by Joy! Crafts (Noor! Design).  The doily die is in stock at Dies to Die For.  The rest will be in stock soon!

 

hugs

Sarah Kay

I had such fun making this card … I have not used a Sarah Kay stamp for such a long time, this one is Elodie in her garden.

The Lovely Lei die is from Dies to Die For, as are the gorgeous Pion Design papers – For Mother.

hugs

Laura and Henri

Morning all, here’s the last of a series of Sarah Kay cards I did for a magazine spread.

 

The stamp is Laura and Henri by Stampavie which was coloured with copics and pencils.  The paper is Bo Bunny Persuasion.

Michel

Morning, late as usual lol. 

The stamp is Michel by Stampavie, I really do love their little boy images – Sarah Kay sure knows how to capture the gentle innocence of youth like no-one else can. The sentiment is by Tina Wenke from the Celebrate stamp set.

I used Copics and pencils to colour the image.  Oh and the paper is Bo Bunny Persuasion

 

Sweet Wishes

Morning all, it’s Sunday (already!) so my turn to post on the Dies to Die For blog.  And today I have a Sarah Kay card using the adorable Pia.

The gorgeous papers are Bo Bunny Persuasion and Love Bandit.  I have used a Tim Holtz On The Edge Distressed Doily die and a Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die.

hugs

Antoinette and Bessa

Morning!  My turn to post on the DT blog today so a really quick one from me.

The stamp is a Sarah Kay – Antoinette and Bessa go for a stroll.  The paper is from the new Inkido Coming home for Christmas and I have used a MFT Die-Namics Open Scallop Edge die.
