The Reason I've been AWOL and a few Hunkydory cards

 This is little "Winnie Middleton" she is a 13 week old chihuahua , that has become our new fur baby . It's been 2 and a half years since our poodle Hudson died . Winnie is very sweet natured , loves everyone but has mad half hours of racing and fighting us and her toys .

some Hunkdory makes , sentiments from The Paper Boutique and Tim Holtz.

Another lockdown , hope your all safe and well in craft world, it is our way of escaping the badness around , that and our pets and loved ones .

MFT "puddle jumper"

Not much rain this week , for a change , but my card is inspired by the wet weather we know so well. The boy with brollie is from a MFT stamp and die set called "puddle jumper " as is the lovely sentiment, the images are coloured with promarkers  . The paddling chicks are from another MFT set called "rain or shine". I used craft card, and did the rainy Polaroid scene on my pc  using Lliella rain scrapbooking digi kit. I added glossy accents on the boys wellies , the puddle and rain drops. Inside the card I stamped "sending showers of love".

Foxy

 A manly Autumn card , not a foxy lady but a foxy gent. The stamped fox looks very proud and quiet scary looking . We get lots of foxes in the garden and they leave their mess to prove it , but I still think they are a beautiful animal .

The fox stamp and the foliage stamp are both from the new issue 87 from creative stamping mag. The fox I stamped and coloured with promarkers . The foliage stamp I stamped in versamark , added white embossing , heat set and then blended Tim H inks over the top , wiped it clean then spritzed with water , I have yellowy messy stained fingers . I added some die cut leaves and coloured them with promarkers .I die cut circles and scallops and added a zig zag square border and stitch alphabet dies (spelling out foxy ) from MFT.

For the first card 
The gold embossed leaf card is from Hunkydory , I die cut a circle , layered onto a blue card , then added a half green circle  and placed the stamped and coloured, with promarkers ,images on with foam tabs.

Smile MFT " Picture Perfect"

The pattern paper is from the works ,as is the wood effect paper used for the sentiment,which I layered up on kraft card to look like wood.. The Polaroid die is from hello bluebird ,also cut from kraft card and the smile sentiment is from creative expressions. Just added a few gems from Hobby Craft.
