Little Claire Swirlies

A quick post to show the two cards I created last weekend using 2 stamps from Little Claire's Red Gingham Swirlies range - The Owls and the Poppies.

Once I had chosen my backing papers everything fell into place very quickly.......

The beautiful ribbon is also from Little Claire along with their die cut printed sentiments.

Martha Stewart Doily Punch, a little Bazzil card, adhesive pearls and glitter gems.....not forgetting the adhesive stones.....and yes there is as per usual from me a little glitter glue on both the cards.

I like to see and feel the warm sunshine..... the glitter glue creates the twinkle we so miss during some of the cloudier autumnal days.

Please let me know what you think..................xxGaynor

Cutie Patootie - Splashing Girl

Today two cards recently created using one of the Cutie Patootie range of stamps -  Splashing Girl from Little Claire.

I have used vintage colours for this card.  Backing paper from LOTV purchased in spring this year.  Martha Stewart heart border punch, small punched flowers embellished with tiny adhesive pearls and a little bakers twine.  I have added diamond glaze to the puddle and splashes - sorry is hasn't shown up too well in the photograph.  Imaged coloured in using promarkers.
Same stamp, backing paper again from LOTV......just a completely different colour palette.....and what a difference.  This stamp is so versatile.............possibly one of my favourites.........

I have used:  Martha Stewart Zig Zag punch, coloured adhesive pearls, flower from "the" stash with a stone brad in the centre.  Papers matted onto Bazzil card.............I do still love the Bazzil card stock.  Image coloured once again with promarkers and diamond glaze added.  I also used a tiny inverted round corner punch to one corner to add interest.

Mmh not sure which card is my favourite?  Please let me know what you think............xxGaynor
