Here’s my problem ....

Hi Everybody,

So I offered my Friday Freebie as usual and on Saturday night I had not one ..... not two .... but three people claiming to have won the Snowflake Penguin that was on offer.  I wrote to each one saying that I had three winners and they needed to prove that they are in fact Daffodil Cards.

And while I was in the process of trying to sort that out I had yet another claimant. I checked out all  their profiles for my self and found that my fourth claimant was indeed the correct winner of the prize. 

It would seem that the others had not read the whole of the blog post properly and as soon as they saw the word YOU they thought it applied to them.  

My apologies for any confusion caused and the matter is now sorted.

In future I will not be adding the word YOU  to my notification... just the name of the winner. 

BUT I am going to insist that you add your full name if you leave a comment 

First name ... Second name 

and then there will be no misunderstanding as to who the winner is. 

I hope you understand the reason why this is going to be put in place and will continue to add your comments to win the prize that is on offer. 

Thank you 

More tomorrow

New Stamps from Crafti Potential

Hi Everybody,

Today I have some lovely new stamps to share with you from Crafti Potential.

The one I have done the video with is Pawfect Pets and I love this little Dinosaur

For the card shown here I covered him with Glossy Accents and it is much better in the hand than shown.

There are six sets in this new collection and each one is a delight to work with.

In the video I have created three glamorous ladies all off to a party and ready to have some fun.

And who says you can't have a purple dinosaur ???

You can in my world !!

More tomorrow ...

Friday Freebie - Snowflake Penguin

Hi Everybody

Over the next few weeks the card and gifts that will be offered are a mixed bag of occasions.

But most of them can be used all year round to help you with some pretty designs

Each one will have the video to show you how I used it but I am sure that you can come up with many more ideas as you play.

This was one of my favourites when it was offered and here is the video ...  Snowflake Penguins

I made so many lovely cards with this really cute die set. So if you would like this one then all you need to do is leave me a comment.

From  those one name will be chosen at random as the winner and it will be announced in tomorrows blog post. Good luck every one  

More tomorrow ...

More Water Colouring

Hi Everybody,

This pretty cards has an ink smooshed background in Squeezed Lemonade and Picked Raspberry background

I have added in some left over flowers from the Messy Water Colouring that I created with the Layered Florals last week and I just had to use them up 

The die and stamp set is called Sending Wishing Hoping from WPlus9 and I bought mine from Sevenhills Crafts

Ink smooshing is a lovely technique and no two cards will ever look the same. Play around with your inks to see which colour combination you like. I used Distress Oxides because they have a chalky look to them when activated with water. 

They also layer with each other much better than ordinary Distress Ink and they are my "GoTo" choice for all kinds of techniques 

More tomorrow ...
