🐻💗 Lot’s of Love 💗🐻

Hello dear friends, happy Friday! I’m back today with a card I have made using the super sweet set Lots of Love.

https://ccdesignsrs.com?aff=4

I kept it really simple with just the sentiment and the coloured image taking pride of place. I coloured the bears and the little star with my zig clean colour real brush markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out

I hope you like today’s card and please don’t forget to check out the store and the December Facebook challenge – Anything goes.

I just want to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. A gorgeous new release is coming in January so look out for that. Hugs, Emma xoxo

💋 Kissy Smoochie – Bee 💋

As you have probably guessed I’m having a lot of fun with the Kissy Smoochie digital stamp from C.C. Designs! Here is my second card for this month and this time I’ve chosen the bee! 🐝

Again I have used my distress inks to colour these up, I just love the soft results of this medium. I’ve used one of the happy dies from the Happy Happy Happy set – Lawn Fawn – and I’ve chosen soft yellow paper to bring it all together. 💛

I hope you like today’s card. Have a hap-bee day!

See you soon, Emma xoxo

💋 Kissy Smoochie – Fish 💋

It’s been a while since my last post but I have a super cute card to share with you today. As you may or may not know, C.C. Designs didn’t have a new release this months so instead for my inspiration this month I’ve been using a digital set from the shop called Kissy Smoochie! This set contains 3 adorable images for the price of only $8! It’s a must have! ❤️

I had a lot of fun using my distress inks to colour these sweet little fish up, I wanted to keep it soft but colourful.

Don’t forget the monthly C.C. Designs Facebook challenge is still on going. There is a new challenge every month beginning on the 1st and ends on the 28th. This month (July) the challenge is Red, White & Blue.

I hope you like today’s card. Keep your eyes peeled for the August release coming soon … it’s GORGEOUS!

See you soon, Emma xoxo

🤗 Fuzzy Hugs 🤗

Hello my dears! Do you ever struggle with certain card themes? I do! Mainly cards for men/boys, sympathy cards and anniversary cards. I don’t know why but I never have the right idea for the layouts. For July I need to make about 11 anniversary cards. Luckily I came across the gorgeous sets ‘Fuzzy Hugs’ and ‘Wishing You’ from Mama Elephant. Phew!

I have stamped the large wishing you stamp with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and embossed it with Tonic Nuvo clear embossing Powder. I stamped the bunnies in Alchival potting soil ink (second generation stamping) and I have used my mini distress inks to colour them in.

I hope you like today’s inspiration card. I can’t wait to share more with you. See you soon. Take care! Hugs, Emma x

Love Ducks

Hello everyone 🙂 My card for today features this gorgeous image from The Paper Shelter called Love Ducks, isn’t it just darling. If you are interested you can purchase this image at thepapershelter.com 🙂 I have just purchased myself a blender pen and decided to have a go for this project, and I found it much easier to use, for me personally, than a paint brush. I seem to have more control with the blender pen than I do with a brush and water. I see so much inspritation using watercolours and I really wanted to have another go, much more like fake watercolouring but you get the same effect. I hope you like todays card and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask xx
