23rd December 2015 A Saturated Canary Card

 

Hi everyone , today my card is one made from Saturated Canary Download  Not my most friendly type of image as not being computer literate I struggle, they disappear into cyber space. This one has been missing for ages !  Bought a new lap top.....oh dear !  Anyway, along with some others they have been found !  So enjoyed doing this card. The pretty paper lace border is a Joanna Sheen die and I am loving the pretty little leaf sprays. Saw them on a card, tracked them down they are by Cheery Lynn.  I made the flowers from a Heartfelt creation die, used a pale turquoise spray.

Below is a photo of the inside of the card, I used cardstock from Lemoncraft for this card.

 

A Birthday Card

 Hi everyone. Today I am showing you a pretty card that I have made using the very lovely Heartfelt Creations flower dies. This one is the Arianna Blooms. I die cut them, used a pink stain , and popped a sparkly jewel in the middle of each one.

The card stock that I have used is Maja Design and have layered using a Spellbinder die, Radiant Rectangles.

 The leaves are a Sue Wilson die, and the larger green rose leaves is a Doohickey  die, one of my favourites, used time and time again.

 

I am hoping that this photograph will come out ok, as I think there are gremlins in my computer at the moment, my preview shows the photo, them on my blog......disappears ...strange !

Thank you for stopping by, take care, happy crafting xxx

7th December 2015 A Pretty Pink Magnolia card

Hello everyone, today I am showing you a pretty magnolia Card that I did a couple of weeks ago, so enjoyed making this card.  Tilda was coloured  with Copics, always my favourite. Have tried other techniques but always fall back to my tried and tested colouring pens.

 

The flower is a Doohickey die, Doily flower, sprayed with a touch of pink and a little brown distressing on the edges of the petals, a white rose popped in the middle.  Just love this ribbon, silver, lacy and sparkly

A Baby Girl Card

Hello everyone on this very rainy dull November day !  Perfect for crafting though. I have sat in my front room, T.V.  on watching all the mid day television whilst doing a little colouring. I have so enjoyed it.  So here is my latest card, especially for a baby girl.  I started off with a full scalloped circle in pink, found the exact centre, scored and folded in half.  Added the front part, another round die cut out and used Pion design baby paper, which is so very pretty. ( They do one in blue also ). Added a white embossed doily and some oh so gorgeous white and silver mesh ribbon. with a pretty pink heart in the middle.

Across the fold line I put some pink edged die cut Doohickey peony flowers, a little pink butterfly another half of the die cut white doily other bits and bobs of pretties....done  !

A Pretty Magnolia Card.

At last I have got around to doing a Magnolia Tilda card. It really does seems ages since I had a look at my stamps, must do some more as I so enjoyed making this card.  As usual I used my Copics for colouring Tilda.  I have tried pencils and distress inks but seem to get on better with alcohol pens.

The large flowers were both hand made, sprayed pink and scrunched up, dried and layered together. The little roses look very pretty, a good pink match.  I edged the frame around Tilda with a Joy Craft frame peeping out on just one side  The fence was a Magnolia Doohickey die, and the little butterflies were a Joanna Sheen die.  I popped a white pearl heart in the middle of the butterflies

 

This is a closer look at the flower and the Joy Craft frame.  The lattice hearts across the top are from Noor Design ( I think  !  )

 Hope you like my card, thank you for stopping by and taking a peep, always appreciated  xx

A Lili of the Valley Wedding Card

Hello and Good Morning to all the lovely crafting community . I trust that you have all done your Christmas cards and all ready to go off to friends and family. No such luck in my household, just never seem to have the time, shame on me.....I always end up buying them.

So , having made numerous Christmas cards for others I feel it's time to do something different. I really enjoyed making this pretty Wedding Card using a loved Lili of the Valley stamp.

I coloured the happy couple with my favourite Copics. Used a Magnolia Doohickey doily flower with a very sparkly gem in the middle.  Always love these gems, would like to keep them forever, but every now and them decide to use one.

 

The bottom of the card has a stunning strip of die cut lace, a Joanna Sheen die. She does lots of different types, but this was my favourite. Just know that this die is going to get used a lot. 

 

Here's the stunning pretty sparkly gem, would make great ear rings !

 

I always like to show the inside of the card, as it's nice to see what your going to write your message on. So used the same card stock, from Lili of the Valley, very pretty pale blue. And on this photo you get a clearer picture of the lovely lace border.

A Lovely Weekend Away with Friends

I have just returned from a really restful weekend away with friends. I went to Robin Hoods Bay in North Yorkshire. Very quaint, pretty cottages nestling into the hill side and the cliffs with spectacular views of the sea. There was a pretty beach, but was too cold to do any paddling. So have returned fresh and full of imagination for my next projects.

This one was done using a craft c.d. which is not my normal style of crafting.  I down loaded the image, already coloured in but added some ' snow ' to the picture.  the picture is the work of the amazing Nikky Hall.

I added a wooden corner flourish, embossed with a touch of white, some gold scribble die cuts with a snowflake in their middles and a matching hand made turquoise glittery gem. Some Tattered Lace half doilies in matching cardstock and a row across the bottom of white gathered lace.

 

 Here's a closer peep at Nikki's lovely drawing, lovely isn't she ?

 

These are the Scribble die cuts in gold, very different , but not too sure if I will get a lot of use out of them......time will tell !!
