Wee Ruby Love Birds

Good Morning,

Wow, 2 days on the trot, a record for me of late.

I'm here to share a card I made for an order from a lady who recently celebrated her 100th Birthday.

Something tactile was the brief so she could feel her way round the card as her eyesight is not 100%. So used lots of layers, glitter stickles, pearls, ribbon & peel offs.

Coloured with - markers & stickles

Numbers - cut on cameo

Words - peel offs

Good Morning,

Friday here again which means it's nearly the weekend. Have you got anything planned?

My Daughter has invited my Mum, Sister and family, Son and family & Daughter over for Sunday dinner. Her and her boyfriend are cooking a roast dinner which will be a treat for us all for Mothering Sunday. The only trouble is I will have to pack all my crafty stuff away and move my storage unit out so everyone can get round the table. Still it will be worth the effort.

Friday also means a new challenge over at

Friday Sketch Challenge

Alison has given us this super sketch to play with:

I decided to use a Christmas image from Wee Stamps. I need to catch up with my fellow blogging buddies, some are into double figures all ready, this is my first!

The papers were freebies with a magazine several years ago & these have been mounted onto red card. The sentiment was computer generated & a ribbon was added. The image was coloured with markers and a touch of glamour dust was added.

This fortnight we are giving away a £5 Gift Voucher for Polka Doodles

Hop on over to the new look challenge blog for more ideas how to use the sketch.

A Little Colour Inspiration @ MAWTT

 Good Morning my crafty friends,

 

Hope you are all well and big hugs to those that are not.

Are we all ready for the Big Man's visit?

I still need to get everything wrapped, so much for wrapping as I buy!!!!!!

 

There's a new challenge starting over at Moving Along With The Times with Team A

Hosting the challenge is The Boss Hazel who has chosen a colour inspired theme

 

I took this opportunity to make my first cross card.

I wanted something special for my dear Sister who has been with me every step of the way through my hospital visits/treatments. She even cleaned my house for me before my first treatment so that I did not have to worry if I was unwell.

 

 

I have used Heidi, a digi from Wee Stamps that I coloured with markers, chalks and a touch of glamour dust



 

 

The papers are from Raspberry Road, the pinky one has had distressed with TH's distress inks

All been matted onto kraft card and the triangle mats were punched with 'Diamond Swing' punch from Tonic

  

 

The flowers are a mixture of brought and handmade.

The small roses are brought, I coloured them with markers to match the image, the wire stem I left attached and wound it round a pokey tool to add a bit of interest to the foliage.

The larger rose is made using a circle of paper that I tore and rolled after colouring with a marker. The smaller flowers are a double layer of a punched flower with a viva pearl centre.

The leaves were cut out using a Tattered Lace Die from the foliage collection.

 

 

The insert had a verse printed onto it using Photoshop. The corners were rounded and tabs were cut out on the silhouette and attached using brads. A glamour dusted butterfly. vintage ribbon bow and a sentiment were added to finish off the design.

 

 

I really enjoyed making this card and my Sister loved it.

 

This challenge runs for 2 weeks so maybe you can make your entry with some new stash The Man in Red brings you!!!!!!!!

Hop on over to the challenge blog for more wonderful samples using this colour combo.
