A Flower for You

Good Morning Everyone,

 

Hope you all had a great weekend & had time to enjoy a bit of what you like doing!

It's nice and sunny here at the moment, hope it stays that way. Wasn't it chilly yesterday?

 

Today's card was made with an image I've had printed for ages but never got round to using, it was freebie from the Stamp Fairy, not sure that it still is as I can't find it.

 

 

I've coloured him with my Copics with a touch of chalk.

The papers are from MME a stack I've had for ages but never used. It's one of those stacks you just stroke and put away, frightened you're gonna run out, You all know what I mean I'm sure!

I've used kraft card for the spellbinders border and MB leaf die and to mat Lenny on to.

The flowers were cut on a spellbinder circle die, torn and rolled to form a rose using a quilling tool.

 

 

Have a great day everyone!

A Coral Happy Birthday

 

Good Afternoon Everyone,

 

The sun has arrived at last! It's amazing how a bit of sunshine can make you feel so much better.

 

All the Birthday's come at once, April & May are really busy for me, cake, cake & more cake then nothing till November. Well all Birthdays need a card and here's one I made for my other Daughter this week. Her favourite colour is coral which I started off doing, however it ended up a bit orange.  

 

 

 

The image is Thank You from Saturated Canary which was coloured with Copics, The backing paper has been embossed using a spellbinder A4 folder, the sentiment was computer generated and both have been mounted onto kraft card. I have added a piece of lace, some brown gingham ribbon and a couple of MB die hearts with an added pearl to finish off.

 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend & the sunshine everyone!

Good Morning Everyone, Hope you're all having a good week!

 

it's time for a brand new challenge over at

Moving Along With the Times

 

This week it's the turn of Team A,  and the lovely Kelly  is our hostess, she has chosen the fab theme of..............

'Fairies & Fantasy'

 

So we would like to see projects that include a Fairy or Fantasy image,  remember you can make anything you like as long as you follow the theme.

 

We are sponsored this week by the fabulous Rick St dennis

Who is offering the winner 3 Digis from Instore

Here's my card using Magical Cat Miranda

 

The image has been paper pieced  with a paper that I created using inks. The image was printed onto the paper, the more ink was added to give darker shading. Perfect pearls were painted onto the stars on the coat to add a bit of sparkle. All the yellow/gold stars have had glamour dust applied to them. The rest of the image has been coloured with Copics. The sentiment is computer generated and was added to the image along with the stars before the base layer was printed off.  Black card was used as a mount and the dotty bits.

 

 

Hop on over to the challenge blog to see what the talented team A have created. 

Honey

Good Evening to everyone out there in blog land!

 

It's been a glorious day here in Northampton, I think spring has sprung.

 

I would like to share a card I made for my Daughter's Birthday last week. The image is Saturated Canary's Honey one of my Daughter's favourite's. I used Copics & chalks to colour her in



 

The digi papers are 'Elegance' from Sassy designs. I have used kraft card to mount the papers on to using a spellbinder die to edge the piece with the stripe paper on. As finishing touches I have used a piece of lace, a doily & 2 heart embellies in kraft using a Memory Box die. The sentiment was computer generated using Freehand591.

 

That's all from me tonight, I'm off to have a nosey round blog land

Good Afternoon,

 

Hope you are all well. Spring seems to have arrived at last, yippee!

It's nice to get the washing on the line for a change.

 

I had a lovely surprise last week, I was a winner over at Nutcrafters Challenge with my Easter wallets. As a prize I got to choose some digi's from their online store. I have a card to share with you today using  Seaside duo -Girl digi stamp, isn't it a sweet image?  I have used my Copics to colour in the image with a touch of chalk.

 

 

 

 The card base was cut with a Grand Nestie from Spellbinders. All circles were cut using a circle cutter from We are Memory Keepers. The border was punched using a Martha Stewart round the page punch from a piece of kraft card left from the A4 sheet that the circles were cut from. The sentiment was computer generated and also mounted onto a piece of kraft.

 

Have a great week everyone
