Here are my D & E pages for the KCUK Chunky Alphabet swap. I think the D page is a little over the top and the letters would have looked much better further over, but I decided to move them in to make binding easier… very difficult when you don’t know how the recipient is going to bind her book.
I make no apologies for using one of my favourite stamps again – I really love this little girl. May even add some colour to her before she goes in the ‘done’ basket, lol. This is the page you saw on my desk, unfinished, for those of you who are WOYWW snoopers, lol.
Don't you think she'd look perfect with a pair of Doc Martin's on? He, he - can just picture it now!
I used Memories Pigment inks to make the background, applying Direct to Paper, then overstamping in the same colours before embossing the whole thing with clear powder.
This one’s been made a while but I couldn’t post it until my DT card was live. I messed up with the Sunshine Yellow Adirondack pad cos my mask slipped (sounds like something Freudian, lol) but then thought it looked quite realistic and arty, so I left it as it is.
It’s Free Theme over at Crazy Amigos for the Summer Holidays, so this will be my entry.

These are absolutely stunning- the little girl stamp I think is a real classic - she never dates -and she is adorable.
I can almost feel the African heat of the desert with the second one

these are fabulous, yes even the sun where you 'slipped' look very artistic!

Both cards are lovely. The zindorf is a beautiful scene. The turqouise has so many wonderful layers of stamps and colors.
I can quite understand why that delightful little girl is a favourite stamp. And as for the elephant page - hmmm, looks familiar, LOL. xx
Both of these are beautiful!!
I like both! I have the first stamp too. It is one of my favorites:)
both are fantastic, love the stamps and you used such beautiful colours!!
