G is for Gilding Flakes

Hi and welcome to my blog. I am showing another card in my alphabet series and today the letter is G. I used gilding flakes on my card. I do not use these often, but I love how they add so much to the card. I daubed alcohol inks on yupo paper and then while the alcohol ink was still tacky I added the copper and gold gilding flakes.

F is for Foil

I am back with another card for my alphabet series. This time the letter is F and I used a foil background on this card. I have bought several packs of ink jet backgrounds to foil. I chose the hexagon shapes background, using a rainbow foil. I ran it through my  laminator and it came out so pretty. My grandson turns 3 in June and he loves our cat, so I thought this would be a card that he would like.  

Stamp:  Unknown
Foil Background:  Foilables Pattern Pack 1 - Creative Vision Stamps
Foil:  Pride - Creative Vision Stamps
Die:  Three - Cuttlebug
Happy Birthday :  Sticker - Krazy Kreations
Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers
Wiggle Eyes

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.
I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Many thanks to our generous Sponsor/s for their continued support.

E is for Embossing Powder

Hi and welcome to my blog. I am showing a card today for my alphabet series and today the letter is E. On this card I used embossing powder. Embossing powder is what got me into the stamping world many years ago. When I saw the powder magically change when heated, I was hooked! I must say that I have not used embossing powder for a long time now. I found some marbling embossing powder in my stash and decided to "paint" the flower with it. I used a Versa Marker to color in the areas of the flower, added the embossing powder over it and heat set it. You can see some of the marbling on both the petals and leaf.


Stamp:  Radiant - Penny Black
Embossing Powders:  Sienna Star, Marbeld Turnip, Marbled Squash - Sparkle N Sprinkle
Patterened Paper:  Perch - Momenta
Sequins:  Catherine Pooler

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
