I made this card at a stampin Up watercolor class. Some of my favourite colours. The technique used smooched ink pads and a water brush. Unfortunately I don't own the stamps, punch or ink pads but I might soon :)

This is more like a card opening up flat. Glad I got to use my new Martha Stewart leaf punch.

A little Purse bag

Playing with mt Silhouette Cameo. This is more a little bag than a card as it doesn't open up.

A mixed Media ATC. Charms, gesso and spray ink. A few touch ups with gold pen and finally some bling.

Sewing Pattern ATC

The reason I like challenges is that it stretches me to make to try themes I wouldn't think of myself. I have experimented with so many techniques. It does mean though you need to maintain a large amount of bits and pieces just in case.

Daisy Twinchies

Gabrielle's Maja Design Vintage Dress Canvas

Heat Embossing on a book page technique ATC

This ATC has the stamped image embossed on a book page, distress ink and the embossing enamel around the edges. I used a section of jewelry wire and a small heart to embellish.

Paper Napkin ATC

ATC's are my favorite crafting projects. The background here is a paper napkin. I stamped the image with Versamark embossing ink, black embossing powder and added the embellishment.


My favorite papers are Graphic 45. This is the Couture Collection.
The inspiration for this card can be found at http://glimmercraft.blogspot.com.au
The box was cut using my Silhouette Cameo with a design from the SIL online store
Olive, Purple Black Colour Challenge.
This card is made using Maja papers and was inspired by a card on the Maja site

The papers are all available Charlotte's Web Papercraft.
