A little bit of turnbout stamping

Well it's just as well I made a few cards recently as this week has been very hectic and no crafting yet! Been painting the preschool I run to get it ready for the next term and been too tired to blog the cards I have made but am now looking forward to a crafty weekend.
Been using the Concorde & 9th Turnbout stamps again which I love to make these two cards and if you want to know a bit more about them, have a look here
And yes I have used the Distress oxide inks again lol 😉

Ingredients used to make the cards

Stamps - Concord & 9th 'Oh hello' and 'Flower' turnabout stamp sets
Dies - MFT 'Blueprint 18'
Distress Oxide inks - 'Picked raspberry', 'Twisted citron', 'Peacock feathers' & 'Spiced marmalade'
Glitter tape - American crafts

Happy Birthday Angie

This is a card I made for the lovely Angie. You can find her blog here and she is also the very talented lady who designed my blog header 😀 Anyway used one of the items I purchased at the Taunton craft show to make this card. I made a background using distress oxide inks, die cut the "Ray of light"   die and layered up. Coloured the peacock using layers of hero arts inks and diecut and stamped sentiment and also layered up.

Ingredients used to make the card 
Stamp set - Hero Arts 'Color layering peacock'
Colour medium for peacock - Hero arts inks, navy, deep ocean, emerald green & lemon yellow
Dies - Creative Expressions 'Ray of light' and MFT 'Blueprints 18'
Background inks - Distress oxide inks, twisted citron, salty ocean & peacock feathers
Pearl from my stash.

A bit more oxide inks play time

Well so here is another card using the Tim Holtz distress oxide inks. Also used the MFT Beautful Butterflies stamp set. Need to get back in the habit of noting what I have used to add to the blog post. But anyway enough of my waffling lol. Here is the finished card.

Well add I am enjoying blogging again and having a reference for my makes.

My love for Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks ❤️

Right thanks to the help of my friend Kelly whose fab blog is here I have sussed the mysteries of uploading photos to my blog. So hopefully you will be looking at some cards I have made combining my two recent craft loves which are the distress oxide inks and Concorde and 9th Turnabout stamps

Time to brush off the cobwebs!!!!!!

Well been a long time since I have blogged, in fact not blogged since April 2016!!!
 But time to brush off cobwebs and start again as I have still been crafting.  I had been using since April 2013 a free app called Blogpress to blog for speed on my iPad but it stopped working and sadly I lost all my photos from that time up to February 2016 and there was no way of retrieving them. Luckily I had back ups of the ones of Sam ( my beloved dog) but not the others so unable to add back to blog.
So anyway lesson learnt though it did put me off blogging for a long while. As my blog is a personal reference for me and my cards and projects I shall start adding them again Once I have figured out all the changes that blogger have made!!!
