This Little Birdie!

Hello and thank you so much for visiting me.   One of the challenges I am entering today is Darnell's fabulous 'Twofer' Challenge.  Here are my cards:

The bird is the silhouette and leg parts only of a Hero Arts layering bird and branch  clear stamp set.  I have had this for a few years and this is the first time I have inked it up!

This is a birthday card for a friend who doesn't read this blog - her birthday isn't until next month.  

Inks -Versafine Clair Nocturne,  Purple Twi;ight and Summertime. 

Words are Bee Crafty  - Stamped on snippets of card and fussy cut out.

Crown - Lavinia Stamps.

Layering dies - Lisa Horton.

Sparkles - Moon Dust by Lavinia Stamps

I turned the bird into a robin for this Christmas card.

Inks - Coffee Archival, Tulip Red Versafine Clair and Acorn Versafine Clair.

Layering dies by Clarity Stamp - All cut from Snippets of card.

Words - Stamplorations.

Snow - White Posca Pen with glitter added for sparkle.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Darnell's Twofer Challenge - Two cards using the same stamp or die but with totally different designs and occasions.

Darnell's NBUS Challenge - use Never Before Used Schtuff - mine is the bird stamp set.

Sorry the photos are not very good but I am too tired to take more and I want to post this before I go to bed.  I am definitely no David Bailey!  

Thank you again for visiting me and take care!  Hugs Christine xxx

Sending You Sunshine!

Hello and thank you for visiting me.  I know I haven't been around for a while yet again, sorry!  My blog posts will be shorter than usual for the next few months as I am waiting for cataract surgery on both eyes making blogging (and everything else) a bit tricky at the moment.  Usually I like to describe how I make my cards but I will forgo that for now if that is ok?  

The stencil is by HoneyDoo crafts - Oxide Inks - sentiment  is Clarity - snippets of card for the sentiment - label dies are Elizabeth Crafts - I can't remember the make of the butterfly stamp and the little gold stones are from my stash.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Pixie's Snippets Playground - Use Snippets.

Allsorts Challenge Blog - Sun, Sea and Sand.  I hope sending sunshine is enough!.

Country View Challenges - Use A Stencil or Two.

Darnell's NBUS Challenge - Never Before Used Schtuff - mine is the fab stencil.

Thank you again for popping by.

Take care.  Christine xxx
