Same but different stripes

I had coloured this image in Florida in February and he was too cute to not use but the colours are very bright so the stripes also had to be bright lol.

This design is so simple but effective and a go to if I don’t have a layout in mind.

Well that didn’t work …

This didn’t turn out as I hoped and even though I’m not happy with it I thought I should pop it on here to remind me that I made it, otherwise I wouldn’t remember and might make the same mistakes again lol.

I should have coloured the images on white not craft as that changed the way the colours behaved, I do like the idea of using a big TV though so maybe I will try that again just go in a different direction

Gnome a classic

Not the direction I was originally going with this card but I do like how it turned out. Polkadoodles Gnomes are spectacular and so lovely to colour too.

Fairwee Macaroon

Today is two of my very good friends birthdays, they were both born on the same day, same year just oceans apart. I am showing Jane’s card today as I know she checks my blog and I wanted to wish her a happy birthday, also want to wish Judy a happy birthday too.

Jane is a fan of cake and I know she likes macaroon stamps so I combined that to make her card.

New Home

Friends of ours recently moved and are now living in my home country (Wales if you didn’t know lol) the farmhouse they bought looks fabulous and I know they will be very happy there.

Of course I wanted to send them a card that looked similar to the house and I know it has been received and they loved it.

Wizard of Oz

I had to have this set from clearly besotted and it’s taken ages to actually use it but I’m so happy I have. Thank goodness I have recently filled my copics cos it would have been a nightmare otherwise lol.

Treat Yourself

I own a lot and I mean a lot of burger stamps but when I saw this freebie digi from Hunkydory I couldn’t wait to colour it and make a card. I used the Tim holtz stencil for the ketchup splats but the first attempt went a bit overboard and looked more like a bloodbath than ketchup lol.

Fat man and Bobbin

I was going to go with a different title but the name of the digi stamp sealed the deal lol. I have been on a doctor digi kick recently and I love the expressive look he obtains. I also bought the comic background specifically for this card and I might have used it again too. It’s perfect for all the superhero sets I own.

Return of the stripes number 3

I went with the same design I made previously I just changed the hair colour and the stripe colour. Seeing them here I want to make more like this as they look so quick and easy even though they weren’t lol.

Twice as nice

Another revisited design and I really enjoyed making them both. I love Mo Manning images she captures the look of kids so well, I have been using her images since 2009 and I am amazed by how timeless they are. Think I might even use this design for next years cards too. Plus this is a printed paper pack and I definitely need to use it up.

Return of the stripes number 2

Again I went with a straight look and again it was harder than the angle I normally use so I think it’s angles from now on lol. 

I do like the simplicity of this design though and the image does definitely take centre stage.
