More cards!
I've used a gorgeous Rodin stamp to stamp Stazon onto metal foil which I have then embossed and back filled with texture paste. On the gold card I have smudged blackberry Viva ferro paint around, it matches the Iris Stayzon ink well.

Here are a couple of magic wallets that I have made. My dear friend's son is sixteen and is leaving home to join the army next Sunday at noon. I hope he will find the wallet useful to keep a few photos safe.

This magic wallet has been made using pretty ribbon and embossed metal which I have coloured using Stazon inks.

I completed my sponsored run on Sunday and was pleased to finish in a good time and raise lots of money for Cancer Research UK. Thank you to those of you who sponsored me.

The theme for the inchies swap on UK Stampers this month is foliage. I have taken the opportunity to use one of my favourite little stamps to decorate the inchies. I coloured the card with versa colour ink cubes and have stamped the image with stazon. I used a glitter pen to decorate the stamped images (but of course it doesn't show up well in the photo!) and another pen to add some silver lines.

Some twinchies with swirly backgrounds for the swap on UK Stampers. I have coloured the card with Versacolour ink padsusing several colours on each twinchie. Then I have used an Inkadinkadoo stamp to make a swirled background. Finally I have used some lovely leaf stamps to stamp images using my black archival ink pad.

A Birthday Card for a wonderful someone. Made with torn paper, perfect pearls, a few stickers and lots of glue!

Another Birthday cake?!? Yes, another one. I asked what was desired and the request was for a chocolate cake. Well if you ask for chocolate then you get chocolate...and lots of it. I also made some vanilla butterfly cakes for those that don't like chocolate cake much. A very thoughtful little person suggested that idea, the thought of people not liking chocolate cake always surprises me! However if there was ever a cake that was too chocolaty then this might be it, that's a whole box of Thorntons on the top!!!!

I enjoyed making the ATC's for last month's UK Stamper's swap that here I am again! This month the theme is watercolour, to be interpreted in any way we like. I have painted two peices of ATC sized card with my Twinkling H20's. Then I have stamped some images onto them, a pretty girl onto the blue card and some Technique Tuesday flowers on the purple coloured card. I punched a hole in the purple card so my pretty girl can peek through it before sticking the two pieces together. I have decorated the flowers with some stickles and have used a shiny new ATC stamp on the back. I loved the ATC's I received from last month's swap, they were absolutely gorgeous. If these are enjoyed half as much I will be very pleased.
