Good evening all, hope you are well, tonight I have a card to share with you which started out as a little experiment, but turned out quite well! For my birthday last year my Mum bought me the Promarker air brush, which you simply attach your Promarkers to and you can airbrush any colour. I haven't used it much but decided to try a cloudy sky, apart from being a bit pale (I may have been over cautious!) I think it turned out quite well. The colours are brighter in real life but you can see it vaguely in the pics, the image is Tilda and the yummy papers are from Sweet Shoppe, hope you like it!

I'm Back!

Evening all, thought i better make an appearance, it seems like such a long time ago since i posted anything, but Christmas seems to have taken over my life! We have fifteen nephews and nieces to buy for, nearly all of them are teenagers so it's a nightmare knowing what to buy. Anyway i have been busy shopping and wrapping and seem to be nearly there, so thought i would take a well earned break in the craft room. I have had quite a few people order cards so hope to share them with you over the next few days. Here's the first one, a neighbour wanted  cards for his three sons so i tried to keep them masculine, hope you like it!

Evening all, tonight i have a card to share with you which i made for my sister, who is expecting her first baby.
