Paper Pieced Floral

This is a large Lisa Horton floral and it just screamed paper piecing to me, I have used it before and i think I paper pieced it then as well. I had recently found an old MME paper poad with no full sheets so I wondered what I could use it for and then I saw this stamp and an idea was born. I did add shading to one of the cards with copics but decided against it on the other one. I had forgotten how much I like this technique, I very rarely get to just play with paper anymore so this was a great start to rediscovering old techniques.

Aubrey Sheet Load

Another sheetload card, when I find a design I really like I use it a lot, this design is one of those and the image was already coloured and all i needed to do was create a design that worked around it, the clearly besotted papers were still on my desk and they worked perfectly. 

Lately I have been struggling with both card making and life in general. Ive had a few things that I have needed to deal with medically and they take a toll on your mental health. When i am struggling new designs are beyond the scope for me so I revisit ideas, images, colour combos that I know worked before, there will be a lot of those going forward and I hope that I find my mojo soon.

Tea Time Bear

Another of Amanda Janes designs and such a sweet image too, this layout was a change for me and very effective. I had forgotten to use my embossing folders in such a long time and I have a lot of them too. Maybe its something I need to look at for more cards

Crafty Tools

This spellbinders die set is so cool, I really liked making this design, I want to make lots of washi tapes although until I typed this i hadn't even thought of normal tape lol. The scissors look so real I tried to cut with them lol

Golf Version 2

This is the second version of the card and I must say I really like this design, I might have made a few variations of this and I want to make more lol.

Golf Version 1

I might have made almost the same card last year so as my mojo is missing I recreated the same style. Sometimes when it’s this clean and simple people assume it’s quick and easy but the time it takes to not smudge the ink and to keep the project clean mean it takes much, much longer lol

Bold Birthday 2

You didn’t need to wait long to see the second version, this time I’ve used a cat stamp from Mangocraft, I loved this image and I think I might just make another few cards with the other stamps in the set. I’ve even used the same paper as the last one lol. I did colour the cat to look like my friends fur baby
