A little whimsical tree!

I adore the Wonderfully Whimsical set from PTI – and this tree is probably my favourite image from it.  I apologise for the poor photo – I was really struggling to get a good picture today.  I coloured the tree and little hill with my latest plaything – AQUA ProMarkers – OMG, I LOVE them.  As a wee perk of being on the Passion for ProMarkers DT we were all sent a free box of Aqua’s to play with from Simon at Letraset.  I think I could be a convert.  I went over the tree and flowers with crystal effects to give it a little bit of texture and then stamped the Happy Birthday from Butterfly Dreams.
Here’s a close up!!

I have been very decadent tonight and have crafted for about 4 hours – when did I last get to do that??  Of course, the downside is it’s now 2.30am – but I have two cards made that I will share with you as soon as I get a chance – and some daylight!!

ANOTHER CARD!!!

Hey, is this two posts in 2 days?  I clearly have too much time on my hands! (sarcasm alert)

Just sharing a quick card I made the other day.  All supplies are Papertrey Ink.  I used Beautiful Blooms for the background pattern stamped in Spring Moss, Raspberry Fizz and Dark Chocolate.  The butterflies are from Butterfly Dreams – the polka dot one is my absolute favourite.

Right, off to make sense of the mess overtaking my house.

Passion For Papertrey – I’m a "Featured Stamper" – woo hoo!!!

Eek, this was meant to post yesterday but I got my dates wrong, oops!

Hey everyone, I’m SOOO excited to share with you the news that Kate and Aimes from Passion for Papertrey have asked me to be their “Featured Stamper” for the month of August!  I am so thrilled, they are two of the nicest girls anyone could meet and we have become great friends over the last year (thanks to our common obesessions not just with Papertrey Ink products but a certain Mr Edward Cullen and Mr Jacob Black, lol).  Thank you so much for asking me ladies, I really am so honoured.

Passion for Papertrey have a new challenge every other Monday and for their latest one they want to see “Long and Tall Cards”.  Now I am traditionally a square card kinda girl so this one did not come easily for me!!  The only other rule to the challenge is you must use at least one Papertrey Ink product, easy peasy.

I have used my much -loved Peaceful Poinsettia stamp set and coloured the poinsettias with ProMarkers with a few blobs of black fine glitter in the centres.  The paper is from the Rustic Snowflake collection and the ribbon is True Black twill – all PTI.

Right, better whizz off – got another ridiculously busy day ahead of me, grumble.

Hugs,
