Inspiring Iris Sympathy Card

By
it's not nice to have to make sympathy cards and they are often needed at short notice so I try to have a couple in my stash for when the need arises.

I have made a simple sympathy card using the set Inspiring Iris although the image I have used is not the iris but the carnation - take a look


I have used the sketch from this week's challenge over at

CAS Colours & Sketches


My two rectangular panels have been masked and then sponged with Soft Sea Foam ink. My flower has been stamped with Old Olive and Lovely Lipstick.



Short and sweet today as it's still very hot here and I'm exhausted! The shop where I work has poor air conditioning so it's extremely hot behind the counter and I had some particularly rude customers today. I managed to plod home though and flop down on the sofa for a rest before seeing to tea and my mum!

Thanks for stopping by today - J xx

Beauty of the Deep

I do love my nature stamps and I also love stamps of the sea whether it be above or below the waves. I have taken possession of a new set from the catalogue called Beauty of the Deep. I have made a card with this set as it lends it's self perfectly to the the new Boho Blue In Colour. It also has a gorgeous little fish which I couldn't wait to use - take a look Although I've mostly used blue ink I had added white highlights with a gel pen and then to finish it off a little sparkly blue gem. Thanks for stopping by today - if you wish to place an order or request a catalogue please drop me a message at  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx

In The Frame.

Yesterday was birthday and my lovely husband bought me some crafting stash. Unfortunately he duplicated an ink pad (Distress Ink - Tea Dye) but the craft shop where he bought it were very kind and let me exchange it for something else. That something was a fab little Crafty Individuals stamp. So I raced home, turned my craft room upside down looking for my EZ Mount, and made this card for this week's Less is More  challenge. This week the girls wanted a one layer card with the theme 'In the Frame' Here is my card I made this by first masking off an area in the center of the card - directly on to a 5" x 5" white card blank. Then using my brayer I added some yellow, blue and green ink to the card. The masks were removed and the image was stamped over the brayered square. Thanks ladies for another fantastic challenge - Jacqueline xx.
