Sarah Kay

Hope everyone has had a great weekend. Today I was at a Farmer's Market & was demonstrating with my stock. This is the card that I made.

I used a Sarah Kay Diecut Decoupage Sheet & created the card with the layout from TMS. I cut the centres with my cuttlebug. Here is a closeup of the image.

 The flowers were made using buds, a floral spray & a single blue miniature tea rose. I added liquid pearls & gems to the sentiment. x Clare x

Wedding Bunnies

I hope you all had a fantastic Bank Holiday Weekend! I know ours was rather hectic but I have to say I enjoyed every minute of it :-)

I have created this card using a new decoupage sheet that I have got. It is called Wedding Bunnies & is just adorable.

I flipped the sketch that I was using & I created the image with 4 of the layers on the sheet & added stickles to the flowers. I then added 3 pearls to the corner. Here is a closeup of the image.


To create the base of the easel card I used the same sketch & added pearls to the sentiment & a flower bouquet in the corner. x Clare x

Pink, Yellow & Green

Well we have had 3 glorious days in Essex & it has inspired me to create this summery card. Normally I am not a fan of these colours but I used them recently to create labels for a Retro Sweet Bar & I think I have found my new fave combo :-)


I have used one of my favourite characters - Messy Rabbit. I coloured him with Promarkers & created this twisted easel card following the sketch from Sketch Saturday. Here is a closeup of the image.
I added Pinflair Pearl Wand around the card & sentiment & added some gems & flat back pearls. x Clare x

Where did April Go!!

OMG I can't believe it has been a month since I last blogged!! Where on earth did April disappear to? Before we know it we will all be talking about Christmas again lol!!

I have recently started stocking some Alcohol Inks so decided I should have a little play & see how I go. So here is an ATC I created yesterday.


I followed the sketch from Sketch N Stash & I am quite pleased with the result although I don't think I will be challenging a certain Mr Holtz yet lol!! x Clare x

CAS Rabbit

I have been busy making cards for my Niece this week. I was inspired by a friend of mine & her CAS cards so decided to be brave & stamp straight on to the page.
