Hi.  I can't believe it has been a month since I last posted anything.  Not sure where that time has gone.  Ah well - I have a couple of cards to show today.

The first uses Stampin Up embossing folder, feather stamps and framelets - a nice touch of gold on this one.





Next I have done a Christmas card but in un-traditional colours.


 
 
 
Lastly a home sweet home card.
 


 
 

Until next time - Judith

Hi All.  I know it has been a few weeks since I last posted - we have had some pretty cold weather here in Christchurch and I had my Mum visiting, so ran out of time.  But here goes ... one card to show you today.  I got the idea from a card I saw on Pinterest and changed a few things.  I have used the Stampin Up stamps - You've Got This, Work Of Art and Butterfly Basics.  I used Wink of Stella in the centre of the flower and a few sequins for bling.  Hope you like it ...

Nearly forgot - the flower and leaves have been coloured using Inktense pencils on watercolour paper.


 
 
Thanks for stopping by - Judith

Welcome to Sunday.  After a couple of very dull days and rain here, it looks like today we will have a bit of sun - not bad when winter is just around the corner. 

Today I have just 1 card to show.  I was inspired by the colours and the use of chevrons with elephants from a Stamp Nation member, so this is my version. 




That's all for today.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend - Judith

Hi All.  I'd like to start by saying Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother's out there as today is Mother's Day here in NZ. 

My Mother's Day card this year was made using Stampin Up Butterfly Basics, with the inspiration for this card coming from Pinterest. 


 
 
I made 3 of these as a friend wanted one for her Mother as well.  I also put together these 2 6x6 inch canvas mixed media pictures as a present.  Hope you like them.
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
Have a good week - Judith

Hi All.  Sorry my post is a bit late.

This week I have a couple of cards to show you.  I have made a couple of cards for a Virtual Retreat challenge at Stamp Nation -


 
 
This first one uses a Penny Black stamp and is coloured using my Inktense pencils.
 

 

 
 
This one uses the Stampin Up Four Feathers set and a sentiment from Clearly Besotted.
 
 
 

 
 
I have used an Inkadinkado cupcake stamp set and Swiss Dots embossing folder for the background.
 
 



 
 
As I spoke about last time, I have redone this card.  The one above is the original and the one below I redid with some better colouring skills than above. 
 
 
 

 
 
Well that's all for this week.  I have been working on Mother's Day cards, but will reveal on/after May 10th.
 
My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Nepal who are suffering from deadly earthquakes.  Until next post - stay safe.

Hi All.  I hope you had a good week.  I just have 1 very quick and easy Sympathy card to share with you this week. 




I have made Mother's Day cards this weekend, but haven't had a chance to get a photo yet. 

I also thought I would like to remake a couple of my earlier cards now that I have some better colouring skills, so look out for those - I will post the earlier photo to see how they compare.  I am hoping to have the first of these for you to see next weekend.  In the mean time, have a good week and see you again soon - Judith

Hope you all had a very Happy Easter.  We went to the Classic Fighters air show in Blenheim on Saturday, then spent the night in Picton with friends.  We stopped at Ohau Stream north of Kaikoura to see the seal pups on the way home.  What a treat that was.  They are so cute and seem to love showing off.  Photo below so you can judge for yourself...


 
 
I have a couple of cards to show today.  The first one using the same Penny Black stamp as last weeks, but I have put it together using different base card and layers.  This shows just how different something can look just by choosing different colours. 
 
 

 
 
The next card was very quickly put together using an old Stampin Up Sale-a-bration set and a piece of embossed paper.  


 
 
That's all for this week.  Judith
