Tamara here with you. First let me wish you all a Happy Easter!! Today is egg/presents hunting day here in Slovenia and I can’t wait for my daughter to find all the prezzies Easter bunny left her. It’s always a fun hunt. lol
For this Sunday I made a friendship card using MICE HANGING OUT rubber stamp from Stamping Bella. As always image was stamped with Archival Ink – Jet Black and then coloured up using Distress ink pads.
I used the last released Distress Ink colour – scorched timber for mice and I absolutely love it. Hearts were coloured up using: villainous potion, fired brick, mermaid lagoon and fossilized amber.

Hi! Tamara here with you. Today I have an astronaut/space/universe card for you. First I started with alcohol inks background and it didn’t turn out just the way I planned so I made another one using Distress oxide inks and didn’t like that one either so I printed out this watercolour universe digital paper and it fits my coloured images perfectly. LOL.
Images used on this card are from Tiny Townie Astronauts rubber stamps. There are 4 astronauts in this set, but I decided to use only two. As you can see they arrived on a strange black-white planet. Images were stamped with Archival Ink – Jet Black on 300g HP watercolour paper and then coloured up using Distress ink pads.
Distress ink colour used are: vintage photo, ground espresso, black soot, scorched timber, picked raspberries, spiced marmalade, barn door, broken china.

Tamara here with you with my latest card for Stamping Bella Design Team. For this week I chose Tiny Townie Wonderland Mad Hatter rubber stamp. This is a fun image to colour since there’s a lot of different stuff to colour and you can really play with different colours and patterns. For stamping I used Archival Ink – Jet Black. I find this one the best for colouring with watercolours, it dries quickly and it’s very black. For colouring I used 300 g HP (hot pressed) Fabriano artistico watercolouring paper (if you’re starting with watercolours, you’ll love this one).
Distress ink pads used for colouring:skin: vintage photocheeks: worn lipstickhair: spiced marmaladehat, pants: rustic wilderness, black sootribbon, coat, tea cup: villainous potioncoat (pink part): picked raspberriesshirt, shoes: barn door
Sentiment “You’re entirely BONKERS but I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are” comes from Alice in Wonderland sentiment set.
I made a shaker card. I cut out TEA letters and made that part as shaker. I added little diamonds, hearts and sequins. To finish off the card I added some white lines with white gel pen.
Have a great Sunday.Hugs, t.

Hi! Tamara here with you with my latest card for Stamping Bella. As you can see I’m fully in Valentine’s Day mood. For this card I chose one of the newly released images called BLEEDING HEART ODDBALL. One of my neighbours had this plant since I’ve been a kid and I always admired it’s gorgeous flowers. We’re in the middle of the winter with crazy low temperatures and lots of snow and I’m already thinking about Spring and flowers.
I stamped my image with Archival ink – Jet black on 300 g HP watercolour paper and then coloured it up using Distress ink pads. Colours used are: vintage photo, fossilized amber, picked raspberry, peacock feathers, peeled paint. I added some details with white gel pen.

Hi!Tamara here with you after a few weeks break. I hope you’re all doing great?! I’m starting my first post with a Valentine’s Day card using Tiny Townie Wonderland Playing card guard rubber stamp. I coloured him up in purple-red colour combination using my distress ink pads. I created the background for this card using one of the old Sizzix dies from my die collection. I cut it once from a white cardstock and then again from the red one and I added some of the red hearts to the white negative part. For the background layer I used light purple paper.
Sentiment “Love is in the air” is from Love sentiment set.
Distress ink pads used for colouring this image are:
That’s all from me today. Have a lovely Sunday!Hugs, t.

Hi!
Tamara here with you with my latest project made for Stamping Bella. Today I have a Christmas tag for you featuring The Gnome and the mistletoe rubber stamp. This tag can also be used as a bookmark, that’s why I love adding these to my Christmas gifts.
I stamped my image with Archival Ink – Jet black on Fabriano Artistico 300 g HP watercolouring paper and then coloured it up with Distress ink pads. Distress colours used are:
skin: vintage photo
lips, berries: barn door
beard: black soot
outfit: peacock feathers, black soot
mistletoe: peeled paint, forest moss
I used tall frame dies to cut out my image. Then I cut another one from red striped Christmas paper and one from teal striped Christmas paper. I used only a bit of the red one for the front. I glued together the one with the image and the teal one, so that it looks very pretty from the back too. I added bras eyelet and red Christmas ribbon. I highlighted some details with white gel pen and that’s it.
Have a great Sunday!

Hi! Tamara here with you today. I had a plan to use one of the Oddballs today but then when I was going through my stamp drawer I found this awesome stamp and it was brand new, never used so I decided to use this one today and I’m glad I did. These three gnomes are having soooo much fun. This image is called Three gnomes and a Pickup and I used my Distress ink pads to colour it up. First I stamped it with Archival Ink – Jet Black on Farbriano 300 g HP watercolour paper. I’m using extra white watercolouring paper, there are two options (traditional white and extra white) and I like this one more.
Distress ink pads used for colouring:
skin: vintage photo
tree: peeled paint, forest moss
ribbon: fossilized amber, spiced marmalade
pickup: peacock feathers, vintage photo, black soot
gnomes (clothes): villainous potion, faded jeans, barn door
To make a card I used 5″ x 5.5″ card base and decorated it with some Christmas design paper from my stash. I die cut two large snowflakes and some mittens.
Sentiment “Sending you holiday cheer” comes with the image.
Have a lovely Sunday!
Hugs, t.
