Designing sets

Hey all!

Today I thought I'd do something a little different and start my Mother's Day collections. I also thought I'd make a set. This would be perfect if you've bought your mother a present and wanted to add a little touch. This set was inspired by a magazine set, I just had to put my spin on it.

EDIT: Now up on etsy!

Just a quick hello!

Hey all! 

I've actually got the night shift today at work so it's a quick post from me today. I've just been sat in front of the tv (friends of course ;)) making more Christmas cards for my family. So I thought I'd show you today 5 of my favourite Christmas cards I've made this year.

The last one was a kit but I loved making it! These are all still for sale, please contact me if you are interested in any.

Thank you for reading today!

Gesso backgrounds

Hey all!

I've been trying out new background ideas recently and these two have got to be my favourite! Gesso, the good ol' artists favourite for canvas', who knew it made awesome textured backgrounds.

I followed a tutorial in a magazine to create that background, in which you cut two squares, cover in gesso, press together and pull them apart. It creates a lovely raised texture. Then leave it to dry for a night. 

This is the background textured and painted with water colours. I love how this looks like water! 

This Is the finished card, all stamped and embellished. I love how it came out, so tempted to keep this one for myself! 

This is the second one I made but with inks instead of watercolours. I decided to keep the background the main focus the background. 

One more before I go! 

These are the second and third cards I've made with this design. These are my family's Christmas cards I've decided. Arn't they just glittery!! 

Thank you for reading today!
