Skater chick

Had to put a quick card together for my daughters friend as she had turned 16. The first thing that struck me was her name and thought I would use that as a feature of the card. I have used the skater girl from the papilio stamp range and she is just so funky and idea for girls with a bit of va-vavoom about them. Hope you like it.

The letters are Tim Holtz painted with acrylic paint and then altered with alcohol inks.

The papers are twist and shout.

Stamp is papilio (isn't she the cutest) coloured with Copics.

Stars are altered to match with Tim Holtz alcohol inks.

As a little something to add to her birthday presents I personalised a lava lamp keyring. I have altered it with the matching alcoholic inks that i used on the card and made a name plague with shrink plastic with her name on.

I've been away and missed so much.

I have been away for awhile and am away again at the weekend. There has been a lot on the go while I was away and just want to mention some of the amazing news which a few of you will definitely be aware off.

Marlene has had a feature in the Craft Stamper which I haven't bought for awhile but went out and bought special as she was featured in it. Go over to her blog and check out her great work and well done on the 4 page spread. Look forward to checking out the article in next months.

Nikki has been ultra busy too. Check out her blog. She has awesome news and must have been busting at the seams to share it but she is now officially one of the High-hopes design team members. How cool is that!!!!! Go girl!!!! and if it wasn't enough reason to go and buy next months craft stamper because Marlene is in it, Nikki has got a feature in it too. So if ever there was a magazine to buy, that's the one.

Maya, Maya, Maya, what can I say such good news. Check out her blog and especially the roses she makes from coffee filters. She has finally been recognised for the stunning work that she produces. She is a design team member for inky wings.

As you can probably tell I really admire the work produced by these ladies and just want to say well done to all of them and love all your latest work. x x x

something for others

The challenge on Tilda&c0 is to make a gift for others.

I have used shrink plastic to make a personalised gift. I have used the magnolia note stamp for the shape and edited out the lines on it and the shabby chic flowers to add some detail on the edge. The handbag was plain silver and I coloured it with sakura pen and then diamond glazed it to make it durable. Hope you like it.

Mayas blog candy

You have to go and check out Mayas blog it is awesome.
She is offering some unmissable blog candy. Lots of Hanglars and Stanglars stamped images. They will arrive in a stunning bag to keep them safe. check out the rest of her work it really is stunning.

Teen goth

You have to check out the sketch on Katharina's blog. Actually you should check out all her work its great. So much inspiration in one place.

I have really enjoyed playing with the new sugar nellie halloween stamps and had a request for a teen goth and the girl is just great for it.
All the colours match great in the flesh it is really annoying that the colours have changed with the picture.
Hope you like what I have created with your sketch Katharina.
