About Me

My Photo
Hi my name is Tab and I'm married to Leigh, and we live in a little village in Leicestershire, UK with our very cuddly Shih Tzu called Teddy and between him and Leigh they make me laugh each day! I love to spend my time either doing a bit of crocheting or inking up a rubber stamp....truly love both and I love to dabbling in a bit of cake decorating too :o)

Flower Boat!

Good Afternoon, peeps!

Thanks for the comments and messages yesterday about the wall hanging….your all so kind!  Well I have just about finished my Magnolia Ink projects  just the write up to do, so fingers crossed I will be back to normal crafting soon, can’t wait cos I have a number of stamps I want to ink LOL…….

For anyone that is interested I have a Facebook page HERE…….would love you to join me and “Like” my page :o)………or there is a link at the top of my blog on the right hand side :o)…..

Today I have a card for you made using one of the adorable Bildmalarna stamps, called  Mimosa – Flower Boat……Love this stamp, Mimosa is such a sweetie with her Teddy Bear :o)……..These stamps are available from The Hobby House, don’t think they are on the website, but Jill is more than happy to take phone orders :o)

The image has been coloured using Prisma Pencils  blended with sansodor, the yum-o papers are First Edition papers called Summer Breeze and I adore them so much.  The papers and all the embellishments are from The Hobby House

I have given the flowers a little shabby chic treatment and painted them with some picket fence crackle paint, and of course they have been glimmered and glamoured too LOL…

I have used another of those pretty little flowers {just tucked into the flowers}….love these embellies I have added a touch of Stickles to the centre and it finishes it perfectly!

The pins co-ordinate with the flower to perfection, Jill has them made especially for The Hobby House

I have also painted the  spacers with picket fence crackle paint too……..I love these spacers and you can get them from The Hobby House………I added a little pearl to the centre of them to finish them off :o)

The butterfly started its life out as gold metal……..but a quick dab of picket fence crackle paint and voila, a shabby chic butterfly!!……absolutely love these……

043

Loved making these cards, the colours are my new fave combo :o)……I have made myself put the papers away LOL……

Well thanks for stopping by today…….I really do appreciate you all taking the time out of your day to pay me a visit, thank you so much!
