ANYTHING GOES

here is my DT card

I chose an image from A Day for Daisies called

LADY HAT BOW

I coloured the image with Graph It Markers and Copics then used TH Vintage Photo Ink around the edges, I used my new Tonic Heart Die to cut her out then used two other of the Tonic Heart Die set for the blue heart and the square base die, the papers are LOTV, I stamped some of my Dreemees flower stamps cut them out and secured with silicone glue, I then added some blue beads in a bottle, the bow is called a 'parcel bow', never tried one before but after seeing it demo'd on C&C I gave it ago with my new blue Organza ribbon I topped it with a resin heart.

RAGGEDY GIRL DAISY MAE

Hi all, we woke up to a frost this morning, the wind has picked up and very cold I have been told to expect snow tomorrow, whoopy do, lol.

I want to thank you all for your continued support at the start of 2016, your encouragement and support means everything to me especially now when I feel that my mojo has gone on a winter break.  I just can't seem to get my mind working and at a lost as to what to do next.

I have quite a few new stamps and dies but don't feel like they are 'speaking' to me if you know what I mean.

I bought the Sapphire small die cutting machine back last year when it was first launched and it is fantastic, today I have ordered the new Tattered Lace Big Blue electronic die cutting machine, my son is treating me to it as an early 2016 gift, awesome, maybe when I receive it I can go to town with my dies and embossing folders and gain some much need inspiration.

Although I see so much beauty and stupendous creations when visiting my friends and visitors, my brain has just lost it's creative function.

However, I do have a couple of cards to share with you today the first one is a new digi stamp from Miss Daisy stamps she is called Raggedy Girl Daisy Mae, I have gone for a coffee and cream colour combo, I coloured the image with both Copics and Graph It Markers, the papers are a  mix of LOTV and Bearly Mine, I added some little flowers, stamped sentiment and a burlap flower.

THROUGH THE PURPLE HAZE - ANYTHING GOES

For my second card I have used an image by Sandra Caldwell I have seen these featured on my blogging buddy Sheila's blog for sometime, at first I could not quite make up my mind about them but over the months have actually fallen in love with these quirky images and treated myself to a couple, I wonder what you think of them?

FLOWERS FOR YOU

Hi all, well today is another complete wash out it is really cold, pouring with rain and dark, it is supposed to be getting colder next week, so I will be glad when my new pump is put in tomorrow so I can use my central heating.

My card today features a Bildmalarna stamp that I got out and inked up with Momento Tuxedo ink, I coloured her with both Graph It Markers and Copics, the papers are Bearly Mine, I was going to do another blue card but when the pages came out they were more green than blue so had to make some last minute decisions about card stock and embellishments.

Talking of embellishments I have used my brand new Sweet Dixie Filigree large bow, along with my Dreamees flower stamps and my Tattered Lace sentiment.  I added a pearl gem to the bow and Viva Decor yellow pearl drops to the centre of the flowers
