Wildflower monthly special
Hi everyone aren’t we so lucky this month!! If you haven’t already headed over to check out this months, monthly special offer then seriously head on over cause this month it is an absolute stunner of a set!
That is actually what I thought id share with you all today I just loved the Wildflowers Set and had to play with this set straight away!
For the this card I used the Wildflowers stamped with black versa fine over a circle background made using spiced marmalade and picked raspberry distress ink, I then went in with a pink stickles on the flowers to make them pop a bit more.
For the next card I made I’ve stamped the same flower 3 times and coloured in with my aqua markers but then gone over with my clear wink of stella to make it glittery. I’ve added this to a black background card sprayed with spray and sparkle to add some more glitter.
Hope you like this two makes I’m sure I’ll be making lots more with this set

Hello Lovely Hobby Art Peeps.
Forgive me it’s been a busy day and lots happening. We leave for France on the early boat ! …..These things are sent to try us. So here I sit after packing. ironing. packing. Ironing ….you get the idea stressed to the max!
In between all this I did manage to catch Jenny Mayes this morning at ten wasn’t that a good show…loved the demos I have LOADS of shiny card so watch this space for more tips on how to use it…… Jenny kindly sent me the brand new Wild flowers set which will be Hobby Art’s Monthly Special in Sept ….Not had time to play with the Santa’s properly yet ! LOL So many really stunning set’s coming from Hobby Art at the moment. so below I have managed to make a card with the new set but be warned these are very addictive I picked them up very late last night and came up with this …I like the lemon and lilac colour-way for a change and I had to add a bit of green in there . (One of my Favourite colours) I hope you like it and do take a peek at the new set its a stunner Sharon Bennett you have excelled again.

Don’t let the sheep have all the fun!
Hi everyone I have you started making your Christmas cards yet? I’m trying to make one a week so I’m not panicking in December. So I just loved the baa humbug set so much and they were so much fun to use but it got me thinking at to what else I could have fun with dressing up in funny hats and accessories and so that’s what I’ll be showing you today.
A stamp set that I love is the Owls set, I just had so much fun with this set. So I thought I bet the Christmas hat would fit an owl and it did!!!
This makes the owl look so cute and know very Christmas themed. I’m now off to hunt lots of other stamps down to put hats on everything!
I hope you enjoyed today’s post and that you’ll be putting hats and glasses on lots of your other sets to
