Kraftyhands April Challenge

This month for the challenge we have a sketch for you with lots of different layers and shapes to add interest to your card. Here is my Design Team card which I made using the Teacup Zoo CD and the striped paper is from the Femme Fatale CD. I used a Spellbinders die to cut the topper out. The resin flower is available from Kraftyhands and the two ribbon roses were from my stash. Please pop along and have a look at the other makes from the Design Team and we would love you to join in the Challenge.
Thank you for visiting today and please leave me a comment and also follow me if you wish.

Two More Paintings

I have been looking through some photos and found another couple of paintings, a clown and a poppy this time. The teddy bear picture was for a little girl and then her little brother wanted one but not teddy bears.So I did him the clown.




Thank you for visiting.

Teddy Bears

Not done a blog post for a while so thought I would show you a painting.It is done with acrylic paints on watercolour card.The teddies are painted with a shaped brush which I think is called a deers foot using a stippling action. I then painted the flowers onto a bought mount before framing the teddies.
Thank you for visiting today.

Three in One

Three cards today to show you. The first is made from the Femme Fatale CD from Kraftyhands.This is my favourite image from it but they all make lovely feminine cards.
The second one is from their Craft Nouveau  CD
And the third is made using Tattered Lace and Marianne dies.
Plain blue and white card but the result was gorgeous.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit to my blog today. Hope to see you back soon.
