A Girly Card,  ' All  Dressed Up  '

Hi !  Good morning, today my card is one that I really enjoyed making, a proper pink girly card.  The stamp is  by Little Darlings, just love it !!  Reminds me of so many young people in my family so could get used quite a lot.  I actually used distress ink to colour her in, getting a bit better. I did go out and buy some really good brushes which I think helped enormously .

The large flowers are hand made from white mulberry paper, coloured with a quick pink spray and a little distress ink. The doily die in the background is Marianne. The card stock that I used was a freebie down load, two different pinks ones , flowery and striped.

 

I don't design or work for any craft company, everything is my own inspiration and my lovely hobby, thank you for stopping by, take care and have a lovely day xxx

A Religious Card, for Easter

Good evening to everyone. Today I have done a religious card with Easter in mind  So much has been happening for me that the Easter holiday has crept up on me rather quickly. So for all my granddaughters it was a quick trip to buy the lovely chocolate eggs for them as well as a little gift.

I used white linen cardstock for this card and pretty roses. The larger one has been hand made.  The cross was done in silver so that it would stand out against the white background.  Martha Stewart punch provided the little green foliage in two different greens.

19th March 2016 Here we go again with my Teddy Bo card !!

Here at last is my card that once again disappeared into outer space, so hopefully this time round it will be ok.  Must get the young lady in to see what I am doing wrong , so little time  !   Anyway, this was a digital image download, as you can imagine caused me lots of problems, as was lost in my computer until son in law found it !  Teddy Bo was coloured by using Copics.  The white doily is a Marianne Anja frame.  I made the flowers from a Spellbinder die and coloured them in a deep yellow to match the sunflower that Teddy Bo is holding.

Here's a close up of the flowers.   I added black micro beads in the middle and ivory dried gypsophila to hide any little gaps between the leaves.  Hope you like my card, thank you for stopping by, have a wonderful weekend  xx

Pink and Black Shabby Chic Card

Hi, good morning on this absolutely beautiful sunny day.  Really feel that Spring has arrived. Something must be urging me on as I have had the urge to do all the jobs in my home  that have been neglected during the Winter....out comes the paint and emulsion !

Here is my latest card, really like to chop and change styles, so back to a Shabby Chic one in black and pink.  The flowers were hand made using mulberry paper.  The leaf die is one of my favourites, a Sue Wilson one.  So...background paper sprayed with a touch of extra pink and pearl, a heavy embossed corner die, pink spotty organza ribbon and a lovely sentiment stamped into the middle.

 

 

The smaller leaves are from a Martha Stewart punch, always comes in handy for the little leaves.

Hope you like my card, enjoy the day , please stop by again, hugs to all xxx
