I've used one of the cute Tiddly Inks image called Happy Bee Birthday and coloured her with Copics. I did try to make her a fluffy coat (like bees have) but I'm not sure I sceeded - I should stop experimenting I think!! I set the image on the Simon Says Stamp Grid Die - I love the effect of this!!! I cut out and added a couple of Bees and a Tuesday Technique Favorite Memeories sentiment and tied with the Hemptique Black Twine.

This is a pretty simple card as I am moving this weekend have needed to pack the craft goodies I have here away.  I cannot get my internet connection until Thursday next week - eeeek!!! Six days without being able online - it's like an enforced detox!!

favorite Stamps 

Of course they had to be Tilda and I coloured her with Copics.  I used the background with a Gelli plate which I had mad previously and fortunately was the perfect colour scheme. I intended to set it off side - ooops - not quite right - too late was the cry !!!!  I set the elements at an angle also which set the hope card look crooked. I shall be glad to get into my own home, open all my craft goodies and settle down crafting peacefully!!!

Less is More................Anything Goes

I'v actually managed another Less is More card - mainly because I found all the bits in my box whilst p

acking them away. 

I had a few of Simon Says Stamp Fresh Daisies - I had made them for something and then lost them so I made some more, then found the previous ones and added them in my 'bit box'.  I had already made the Spellbinders Curved Borders which I decided to use coloured one - I add them all to a little Neenah Kraft Cardstock and added them with the Hemptique Variegated Earth twine.  The pearls are part of a Prima Pearl center and added them with the flowers.

This must be about the quickest card I have made for a long time!!!

Di's BIO:  {I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like-minded people.  I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue! }
Prize is a $12 Gift Voucher to Di's shop : Di's Digis Downloads

Just a very quick post this week - I am moving at weekend and trying to get ahead as I will probable be without internet connection for a couple of day.

I embossed the background with Cuttlebug Geometric Rings and the glittered papers are from my lovely friend and team leader America.  The image is cute on a Spellginders Fleur De Lis pangdant and the leaves are Memory Box Fresh Foliage. I have take the centers of two flowers and added them as a center with Maya Road Vintage Paper Posies and a corner is Filigree Corner Die.

Simon Says............Emboss It!!!

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

and this week the challenge is ...............

EMBOSS IT

heat emboss, dry emboss or you can use embossing paste.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

This card has been a pain in the neck!!!  I know exactly what I wanted to do but it decided it would to do it's one thing. I have so many March birthdays I thought I would make a start in making a collection. I used the beautiful Magnolia Zodiac Pisces and coloured Tilda with a combination of  Prisma colours, Polychromos and Copics.

The image decided it wanted a border - the Peg Stamps are in storage so I had to improvise and used Simon Says Clear Stamp Thinking of You with one of the flowers and a few of the leaves and coloured them - the flower center are used with the Judikins Sticky Stuff Embossing Powder and Hero Arts Sparkling Ultra Fine Glitter along with the Simon Stamps Die Sketchy Banner sentiment, which I forgot to list the link!!!

I actually liked the result of this card, despite of the fact it chose  

I have shown and link the Tilda and stamp below and I couldn't add them in the Inlinkz list.
