Blingin' 'Eck!!!

What is going on? This is the third card in a row covered in glitter.
Hope this doesn't mean I am turning into a 'girl'.......lol!!!

Another set of Artemio stamps. This set is very funky and girly with spots and flowers in blocks and borders with a few accent stamps. It doesn't really lend itself to my usual techniques and style so I thought I would do something a little more modern.
The lilac cardstock is pearlised, all stamping is done in Royal Purple Stazon and the glitter is Stickles Diamond.

Phewwww......another busy today. I started off this morning doing some cleaning and tidying then got very busy with customers in and out the rest of the day. The phone was ringing just about every five minutes most of the calls were trying to get us to have a water cooler/advertise/change phone, electricity or gas suppliers etc etc or those calls where you pick up the phone and they hang up on you......drives me bonkers that does.......lol!!!
Just about managed to get my prep done for the class tomorrow and get the table set and before I knew it, it was time for home. The day just flew by.
After tea I went upstairs and have been sorting card and experimenting with some of it by burning it with a heat gun. Hope to show the results as soon as it gets made up into a card.......unless it ends up in the bin.

Right...the boss man is home so best go and feed him.
Thanks for dropping by.

Twinkly........Again!!!

Here is a card I made last night with one of my yummy sets of Inkadinkado clear stamps. Couldn't get a really good photo of the colour which is so much more vibrant in real life. I did it in a class today and the ladies loved it.

Feeling quite weary tonight so I am heading off for a bath and bed when I have had a cuppa with hubby.

See you tomorrow.
Bye for now

Twinkly Bird And Flowers!!!

Here is a simple card I made in between customers at the shop today.
I have used white card which I think is Stardream or something like it.
The stamping is done in Olive Green StazOn which I also used to colour around the edges of the mat as I didn't have any suitable green to mat the image onto.
The flowers have been dotted with Woodware's Fluffy Stuff and then heated.
I then added Stardust Stickles to all of the flowers and the bird and yellow Stickles to the flower centres.
Have to admit to being quite pleased with this one as I don't usually do clean and simple very well.

It's been flippin' busy at the shop this afternoon. I just managed to get my lunch and then I never stopped until closing time. I think somebody parked a busload of crafters outside.....lol!!! Keeps me out of mischief anyway.

I just have a card to finish and prep for a class tomorrow and then I am going to have a soak in a very hot bath. My legs ache like billyo today after all the walking around at the NEC yesterday.

Thanks for your visit.
Bye for now

Super Sunday No 2!!!

Sorry there are no pictures today ladies but I have been out to the trade show at the NEC..........and what a fantastic day I've had.
My feet are sore and my eyes are just about burned out by all of the sheer gorgeousness I have seen.
We (meaning Deb...with a bit of help from me....lol!!!) have spent a mint of money and ordered some absolutely wonderful goodies including Penny Black, Debbi Moore, Elusive Images, Woodware, Nestabilities and Martha Stewart plus loads more and if it's all in stock we may have to extend the shop......lol!!!
I can't wait for it all to start arriving so that I can get playing.
Totally devastated that I didn't see Tim.......I just knew he would be on his coffee break......but I did see the fabulous Suze Weinberg.
Did a bit of star spotting too and saw Dawn, JJ and Leonie, Francoise Read and Glenda Waterworth.
Out of all the stands we visited the Elusive Images stand was just totally stunning as it always is and I could have stayed there all day just drinking in the awesome art on there.
My two favourite stands were Elusive Images and Penny Black
Although I am totally whacked I have an urge to do some stamping so I am off upstairs until it's time for Dancing On Ice.
Bye for now
