Wonky Tonk

.......thats just how I have been feeling guys !!

Sorry to be such a bad blogger, but been recovering from an op I had last month and have just been signed off by my doc for another three weeks, but I am OK, feeling more like myself.

Anyhoo its given me more time to play so yesterday made this fun card using "Francesca" one of Tracy Easson's Wonky Tonk girls.

I've stamped her onto dictionary paper and coloured using promarkers and a white gell pen. Always like to add some texture on to my cards and this one has some lace and puff hearts !!

A bit quirky just like me...

Winter Camping

This card was soooooooo much fun to make using one of the NEW "Winter Camping" ribbons by Crafty Ribbons !!

As you know I like making cards with lots of layers and this one has a layer of clouds, another of trees using a Studiolights die, then I stamped and fussy cut out the camper vans and cute snowmen attaching them to a snow bank I have made. The finishing touch was the fun colourful ribbon !! Also had to add loads of snow and frost !!

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 likeminded 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!

Many thanks to our Generous Sponsors for their continued support
