Hello
Popping in to share a card I made with MFT Mice Day to Celebrate and SU Birthday Chick Dies.
After stamping all my mice and the cup cake I coloured them with alcohol markers and fussy cut them out. I popped them up with foam tabs to create a little birthday scene. The timber is from pattern paper. The banners are die cuts.
Thanks for taking time to visit
Until next time
Cheers

Hello
Cutting this very fine again!
Here is my entry for this months challenge at Scrapbookboutique here
Ms S has her first year 12 exam tomorrow. She has been getting a colleague of hubbies (an English teacher) to read and make comments on her essays so we will be giving this lady who has been so generous with her time something before the year is out in way of a big thank you. So I have made this card for her.
I have used MFT Contemporary roses, Stamplorations die, some gold foil paper and sequins.
Thanks for stopping
Hope to be back soon
Cheers
Vicki

I was lucky enough to win the SBB August challenge I am using some new goodies here. NBUS MFT cause for celebration dies and Nuvo glitter drops along with some things from my stash silver mirri card, foam and navy cs.
This pic shows the sun catching the silver mirri card.
This will be great for the up coming birthdays. Miss A has 4 invites at the moment! no doubt Ms E, Ms S and Mr M will also have some requests soon.
I will be back soon as I have been playing with some more NBUS stuff.

Hello
Today I am sharing my creation for the Unstampabelles current challenge here
Collage, collage, collage…
TWIST venture into multi- media
(multimedia means using two or more mediums together: so paint and texture paste or glue and paper or seed beads and paste/glue or ribbon, flowers and paint……)
Random Number Prize
Collage (from the French: coller, “to glue”;[ is a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.
A collage may sometimes include magazine and newspaper clippings, ribbons, paint, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas. The origins of collage can be traced back hundreds of years, but this technique made a dramatic reappearance in the early 20th century as an art form of novelty.
The term collage was coined by both Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso in the beginning of the 20th century when collage became a distinctive part of modern art.
There are lots of examples on Pinterest if you want to waste a few hours!
Use the ‘collage in cards’ search for some simple examples
This one was out of my comfort zone. My creation is more on the side of multi media. I think it still fits the collage brief.
I started by adding some colour to my texture paste. This was added to a white mount and then a black mount and finally to my card front. When the texture paste was dry I used the same spritz to add a few splashes of colour. I then added my die cuts, positioning until I was happy with the result. The “DAD” is die cut from cork from the local craft store the tools are die cut in a bronze shiny paper from my stash along with a contrasting black cardstock.
I hope to see you in the challenge.
Cheers

Hello
I am sharing a few cards I have made for a stall I will have at the Mother’s Day Artisan Market at Sussex Street Neighbourhood house here or here.
This first one if for the mum who is a tea drinker.
I have teamed Jane’s Doodles Tearrific with ABS Designer flowers and coloured with alcohol markers.
And for the mum who likes coffee Jane’s Doodles Coffee Time with ABS Designer Flowers. A little masking this time and again coloured with Alcohol markers. I was lucky enough to win the Jane’s Doodles Coffee time stamp set from SRM recently.
What do you prefer? Coffee or Tea?
For me I have cut down to usually one coffee per day and almost no black tea (I use to drink a lot of both) to drinking green teas and herbal infusions. Ms E (20) and I have a dedicated tea shelf. And don’t ask how many pots or infusers we have!
Lastly this one
Using ABS Designer Flowers and Hero Arts Be Happy.
Enjoy your weekend.
Cheers

My tag
I stamped MFT Contemporary Roses stamp set with SU Pink Pirouette and pretty in pink ink. The leaves are coloured with SU certainly celery marker before stamping. I created the tag with a tag punch and finished with some twine. Not sure if I will use it as a tag or will add it to a card front later.
and
Uniko Fall/Autumn with optional twist of thanks here
For this tag I used images from Uniko Flower Power #5 (sentiment), #6 and Background builders vines stamped and inked with SU Pumpkin Pie, Tangelo Twist & wild wasabi ink/markers. Again I created the tag with a tag punch. This time I added a second tag at the back from Uniko Digital paper. Again finished with some twine.
I also have a card to share I have made for a friend’s birthday using Art Impressions Girlfriends stamp coloured with alcohol markers, fussy cut out and layered onto uniko digital paper.
Thanks for stopping by
Until next time

Hello
Hope you had a fab weekend. We spent a far amount of time in the garden.
A little something to start the week.
This is this months challenge at Scrapbook Boutique
and the current challenge at
Time Out Challenges
My twist is a slight change in layout and the colours I chose.
This is my card
I used MFT Contemporary Roses stamped in SU Pretty in Pink and PTI Lavender Moon. The leaves are stamped in SU Certainly Celery and hand cut.
The flower is popped up with foam tape onto the card front. The tag is stamped with images from Papersmooches Botanicals 2 and created by using the SU Angled tag Topper Punch with a small piece of brown cs along one edge.
The lavender cs is embossed with Sizzix Floral Flourishes embossing folder. The remaining embellisments are ABS twine, sequins from a local dance shop and a touch of clear wink of stella.
Here is another pic
Thanks for popping by
