Morning Peeps,

Ahhhh my favourite morning of the week, lol, but I guess we all say that.  It's my turn to post on the Crafts and Me Blog and this week I have chosen to ink up "Vanessa" by Hannah Lynn.  I love the bold lines of these stamps and the gorgeous flowing hair and her pretty face, well actually everything about them.  Oh and don't forget the blog hop is on until 15th April and your chance to win some prizes along the way and a whopping £45 voucher to spend in store.  Without further ado here's the beautiful Vanessa....

Fragile Heart

Morning Peeps,

Yayyyyyyy, my mojo is back.  Good job really as I have so many DT cards to do and lot's of exciting stuff coming your way, including a few blog hops, woo hoo!  As a result I am a boring little bunny beavering away in my craft room. I still have my stamp collection to sort out and then the boring job of listing everything on Ebay, but I must say I am loving my tidy craft room.

Right, as it's so late and I need my sleep this is a quick post.  I have used the Crafts and Me "Fragile Heart" by Hannah Lynn.  I just love these flowing hair stamps, really great for all levels of crafter but you can really get to grips with your colouring and I have given her some pink shades of hair.  Isn't she beautiful.

I have used the "Cherish" Martha Stewart Punch around the page.  This looks lovely in reality as you have all the sea through holes.

Chillaxing Under The Sea

Evening Peeps,

I'm running a bit late this evening but have good excuses, lol.  As you all know I spend alot of time on my colouring and I think this image is no exception, plus I just had to visit the NEC today, some little crafty thing was going on there, lol. 



Unfortunately now that the evenings are drawing in this isn't the best photograph and for some reason the light is making the lefthandside of the image a little dulled.  I will re-take in the morning, probably in the rain by the sounds of it out there. UPDATE - New picture added if you were wondering what I was going on about, although it's sunny today and that caused me a problem.  Never happy!

Well, isn't she just sooooooooooooooooo gorgeous.  The stamp by Hannah Lynn is called Kathleen Mermaid and is available right HERE from Crafts and Me.  If you haven't checked out all of the Crafts and Me range of stamps you really don't know what your missing.  Hop on over to the crafts and me blog HERE and also the challenge blog HERE for inspiration from my fellow teamies, and we would love you to join in our challenge which is running until next Wednesday, which is to make a christmas gift.

I have been playing this week as you would have seen in my previous post, some prisma pencils landed on my craft desk, so I had to have a play with them.  I have coloured her mostly with copics and have added the prisma pencils for shading.  I have also added a little sparkle of star dust stickles to her fins and the flowers of course.  I masked the image and stamped the background vines and bubbles with a magnolia stamp and cut it out using my nesties and then layered onto a scalloped nestie.  The little squares are also nesties, I do love my nesties.  The background paper is by Magnolia and the flowers are a combination from wild orchid crafts and prisma.  I have inked the edges of the nesties and the martha stewart punch leaves using a versafine ink pad.

New Hannah Lynn Christmas Stamp at Crafts and Me

Morning Peeps,

Thank goodness it's Friday! Thank you for all your comments yesterday on my Hanglar card and apparently "it's sick" means it's really good, it's teenage cook talk......  Now I have something exciting to show you today.  If you haven't been over to the Crafts and Me Blog this week, then you really should.  The DT are showcasing the new release stamps by Hannah Lynn being released next week with 10% off for one week only.  I really love these stamps and this is the first Christmas one.

I coloured the image as I usually do, matching the copic colours to the papers but when I had finished and looked at the image against white card and  I really didn't want to over power it with a selection of patterned papers.  So I have used some snowflake vellum paper and white cardstock and I really like the outcome, what do you think?



I have coloured her with copic markers stamped onto Cryogen card. Just love this irridescent cardstock.

Materials used:-

Snowflake vellum paper

White Bazzil Cardstock

White Satin cardstock for the poinsetta's and leaves

Wintergreen Wishes

Morning Peeps,

Yayyyyyy, it's Friday and I finally finished NEW MOON.  I'm starting "Twilight Eclipse" tonight but going to try and have an early night as I am sooooo tired but am keen to get started.....

 I have finally got to ink up this beautiful Hannal Lynn stamp, "Wintergreen Wishes", available HERE from Crafts and Me.  These stamps are really beautiful, trust me. Isn't she a beauty?

I have coloured her with my favourite copic markers and have applied puff paint to the snow on the background trees, and heated with my heat gun to make it puff up and make it look like realistic snow.  I have added loads of start dust stickles to her hat and she sparkles beautifully. I have also added a sakura clear gel pen to her fins to give them a gentle sparkly finish.

The Butterfly Keeper

Morning Peeps,

Another Friday and another weekend, yayyyyyyyy.  I don't know about you but I am certainly in need of it. Today over at Craftalicious Dianna has set the theme and wants to see lot's of "Thank You's".  I have used one of the goregous  Crafts and Me Hannah Lynn stamps, The Butterfly Keeper, which is available right HERE from Crafts and Me.  I love the broad lines on these stamps and the fact that they colour up so quickly.

I have coloured her using copic markers. The background was created using antique linen, broken china and victorian velvet distress inks and the blending tool.

I stamped an additional crystal ball and added glossy accents to give it that glossy shiny look and then popped it onto 3D pads for added dimension.

The above Hannah Lynn stamp is a deeply etched red rubber stamp with thick lines, really fab, I know you won't be disappointed.  I have coloured her using copics on cryogen cardstock.
