My first ever art doll

Please visit the blog I share to see my first ever art doll project inspired by Sue Roddis in March's Craft Stamper magazine. Details of how I made her and the stamps I used are on the other blog.

Thanks for looking!

Happy New Year and more Patchwork Butterflies

Happy New Year everyone!

I am now back to work after a nice long Christmas and New Year break at home. We have generally escaped the bad weather down here, although it is now snowing as I type and we have a completely frozen water supply! 

I have enjoyed some really good play time over the holiday. This is one card I made using the fantastic Elusive Images Patchwork Butterfly plate again - I am in love with this set of stamps. This time I used one of the smaller butterfly stamps.

This was another hard card to get a good picture of. I stamped the butterfly 4 times on green parchment in black Perfect Medium and then heat embossed in Moonglow Angel Wings Gold embossing powder. I absolutely love the Moonglow powders and treated myself to a whole new set of colours over the Christmas break. I then mounted the butterflies onto a sheet of butterfly paper sent to me as part of my Graphicus Guild membership. The whole thing is matted on a couple of layers of green Remake card and finished off with green dew drops and a nestie cut sentiment.

I'll post a couple more of my projects over the next few days.
