Butterfly tag

Hello

Today I'm sharing a tag made for the summer mini tag challenge with Isa on Facebook. I can't recommend this group enough. Isa is a very generous host with lots of FB and YouTube lives in the month and prize giveaways.

This tag was made for the theme transparent. I'm afraid I went with the obvious butterfly.

I stamped the butterfuly on white card and acetate. I embossed the acetate one, which was a bit tricky as it was ordinary acetate and nearly melted! I added a little gold gilding wax in places.

As the tag turned out better than I expected I made a matching birthday card.

The background stamp is from Studiolight, the butterfly IndigoBlu and the sentiment Elizabeth Designs.

Thank you for stopping by. I always welcome and appreciate your comments. Have a lovely week xx

Snarky cat returns

Hello
Hope you are all keeping well and getting through the challenges of a restricted lifestyle. I've lost my energy and creative mojo this week, but I know that's fine and normal and it will be back.

Here are some cards I made last weekend with the fabulous snarky cat stamps. I went with warm colours this time. You can see my first batch here and a link to the method I used here in one of my old Craft Barn posts.

I'm off to find my mojo. Thank you for taking time to stop by. Take care xxx

Gel Florals

Hello
Today I'm sharing the last two cards made with gel prints following instructions in Giovanna Zara's ebook. For quite a while my Gelli plate has been severely underused, but it's amazing how with a few tips, you can quickly make a lot of prints that are great for backgrounds. Maybe I shall try image transfer next!

Happy crafting! xxx

One of a Kind

Hi there
Today I have for you two more cards made with bits and pieces from my stash. I'm afraid I can't recall where the main images come from or even when I stamped them! Hopefully some of you will recognise the brand and help me out. The stencils were a birthday present and I love how bold they are.

Have a great day xxx
