First attempts at ultra thick embossing


I was totally inspired watching Sheena Douglass
demoing this on Create and Craft so I thought I would have a go!
This is my very first attempt and I am really pleased with the result. The background has been done with glimmer mist (note to self - need a bigger box to spray in) can get messy!







This is my second attempt. It didn't work quite as well as I didnt make quite enough to fit in the
metal frame. So I think I might make it into either a chunky pendant or a brooch.


I now NEED more colours!!!!

Thanks for looking

Lily of the Valley cards


These were made from the adorable new stamps from lily of the valley. The backing papers
were downloads to match the stamps also from lily of the valley.


Another sweet lily of the valley stamp. Flowers were coloured using the same colour promarkers as the image.

Thanks for looking

What are little boys made of


I made this card this afternoon just because I loved the image. I will put it in my card box at work. It's another fantastic image from Mo Manning coloured with Promarkers.I am gradually getting the hang of these but I need to concentrate more on the shading!

Smiles and Thanks for looking.
