Card
I started by inking a background then stamped mona with black stazon. I inked a chipboard heart to match and stamped the word on some of the spare inked paper and covered it in glossy accents.I added some highlights with an inkssentials white pen. I put a brad to match and some ribbon.
~~~~~~~~~






Scrapbook Page
I made a scrapbook page of my lovely black haired dog Poppy! I used Basic Grey Periphery paper for the background and some Cosmo Cricket Fleuriste, and found an appropriate quote to use together with some stamping and Primas.
~~~~~~~~~





Card

For my card I have used one of the new Shabby Chic Tilda images and coloured her with Copic markers. The background of the card is made up of Cuttlebug embossing and Papermania patterned paper squares with stitching detail. Embellished with a satin ribbon tied through an eyelet on the side and prima flowers.
~~~~~~~~~





Card
Very simple this week. The Dolly Mama is stamped with versafine black ink on to white card, and simply coloured in with twinkling H20's. The sentiment is also stamped with black versafine ink. I matted and layered with co-ordinating coloured card and then mounted this onto a white card base.
~~~~~~~~~






Card
I made a frame around my card using some blue and yellow paper and basic grey cardstock. I embellished the frame with beads and sequins. I printed out a clipart postcard and distressed with a mustard seed ink pad. I then watercoloured my Shabby Chic Tilda and Rufus dog stamps and also used my postage stamp by Paperartys. I made my own background using watercolours. I next made a little tag and embellished with flowers. I finished off with a brown prima, yellow ribbon, buttons, gems and adding some detail with gold liquid pearls.
~~~~~~~~~





Card

I stamped Lily with her doll and coloured her face, arm and hair with water colour pencils. I then stamped her again onto Basic Grey Blush paper and paper-pieced her dress. I covered my card with the same paper and added blooms, brads, ribbons and wire around the image. I finally added copper stickles to the centre of the flowers on the paper for a bit of bling.
