Alphabet Swap - P, Q & R

P is for Peel Offs and Piglet
I decided to use some Peel Offs for this swap and colour them up with Sharpie Pens.
I detached the houses from the background and 'let them breathe' and then placed them on the base card.  Talk about the wibbly, wobbly way!  
Couldn't get them off the card so started again.  


This time I coloured them first and then let them 'breathe' a little longer!!!
Once I had attached them to my satisfaction, I then added little Piglet - isn't he cute?!

P is for Pets

A super shiney P with some tiny pussy cats inside.

Thank you Barbara.






Q is for Quilling


Not very good quilling I'm afraid.  The dress is my first real attempt, created at Craft & Chatter, and I added the bodice and 'pocket' to complete the card.  I am using tiny peg stamps from various alphabet sets to stamp the wording. 
My stamping has not improved either but I did see a TV programme tip to wrap an elastic band round the stamps so they stay in line.... too late for this card!!




Q is for Queen




Beautifully framed and decorated - see the silver!.
Thank you Kate.






R is for Rain and Rainbows.


Still practising my stamping - or is it multi stamping?

I have used several stamps taken from Creative Stamping Magazine sets.
I used three small stamps for the raindrops, using the technique of 'secondary' stamping I think it is called. 

Once all the ink had dried, I used Neo Colours and then gave the whole card a wash with blue.


R is for Retail therapy

Just love that sentiment!  
......and those tiny die cuts - look at the detail and glimmer.....
Thank you Beth.



Thanks to Mel for organising the swap, reminding me to post and then, waiting to receive my cards before swapping them out.
