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)

Monday, Monday, Monday!

Good Afternoon, peeps!

Oh dear so sorry for my lack of post for the last couple of days…….I have been busy, busy at home and just never got chance to sit down and do a post, even though I had cards to post LOL…..oh well, new week, new start so lets get down to business!

Today I have a card for you made using one of the adorable Bildmalarna stamps, called  Mimosa – Walk……Love this stamp, Mimosa is such a sweetie :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

046

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

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

The little peach flowers on the trellis are absolutely gorgeous, I have just dabbed a bit of stickles in the centre and they now sparkly beautifully…….

048

I have also painted all the charms and spacers with whit paint too……..I love these spacers and you can get them from The Hobby House.

047

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

052

Loved making these cards, the colours are my new fave combo :o)

050

No decoration to the inside as it is a sample card.

051

Well thanks for stopping by today…….can you believe I am still working on my Magnolia stuff LOL…..must get it done and posted off, else I will miss the deadline LOL…..

See you all tomorrow for Teddy Bo Tuesday :o)

Hugs Tab xxx
