Guest designer for Crafting by Designs.....and a new Papermilldirect offer.

Afternoon everyone, and welcome to my new followers....hope you enjoy what you see.

Today I'm showing you a few cards I did as a Guest Designer for

CRAFTING BY DESIGNS

One of my cards was chosen as a winner in their recent challenge, so I've followed up with a few more. 

THREE different companies...THREE different gorgeous butterfly stamps

All card stock is from

PAPERMILLDIRECT 

The beautiful 'Zen' butterfly (my very favourite)

is from

LAVINIA STAMPS

The sentiment is a Kaisercraft 'rub-on'

This 'Swallowtail' butterfly is from

Stampin' Up.

I've heat-embossed, then coloured it with

Dylusions Inks.

Another favourite stamp at the moment is this Inkcognito Butterfly from 

VISIBLE IMAGE

I've stamped it onto a background of 

Brusho inks.

Well, hope you've enjoyed visiting today, and thanks in advance for any comments you leave. I do appreciate them all.

Before I go, I'd just like to remind you of the latest Special Offer from

Papermilldirect's new weekly offer.....

Evening all, just a quick post tonight to show you the latest 'special offer' from

PAPERMILLDIRECT

This week it's.....

White Seal Embossed Card 230gsm

There are two sizes to choose from:

A3 Box, approximately 80 sheets for £15.00

A4 Midi Box, approximately 260 sheets for £23.00

There is a  limited stock of this product and they are unlikely to have it in stock again, so get yours while you can!!

 I stamped and coloured the image, then mounted onto cardboard and Papermilldirect smooth brown card stock.
The stamp is by Art Impressions.

I made the card for our lovely friends in Scotland, as a 'thank you' for a lovely weekend visit. Fiona keeps chickens so thought the image was very apt.....her & I, gossiping!

Lavinia April Challenge - Lemon & Lime

Evening all, just a quick post to share my Lavinia Stamps  DT work for April.

The theme this month is Lemon & Lime, and as usual there is a £40 prize for the 'randomly-picked' winner. You MUST use Lavinia Stamps on your entry.

It's such a fab chance to build on your collection of amazing products from

LAVINIA STAMPS

All card stock is from

PAPERMILLDIRECT 

The backgrounds have all been made with Dylusion Inks

and a selection of 

Lavinia Stamps which can be found on the website.

I covered the trees with a clear glaze.

This coloured panel was left-over from another project,  I loved the colours on it.

I didn't include this little tag in my DT work, as I stamped the sentiment crookedly, but I still like it!

Hope you've enjoyed looking at my Lavinia Stamps samples, I'll be back soon with another Papermilldirect 'special offer'.

Catch you later, have a great Easter weekend.

(we have gardening and decorating to look forward to...goody, goody....NOT!)
