Hang in there

The show last night was such fun and full of 80’s songs, a real feel good show. Here's another image I have had stamped for ages and I finally got round to colouring with Copics. I used a MFT mini cloud stencil and chalk for the sky. The papers are Nikki Sivils Tree Love. I added some wooden leaves, flowers from Wild Orchid and The Ribbon Girl and some butterflies from Poundland.

Cute mice

It was my friend Lynsey's Wedding Anniversary on Sunday and this is the card I made for them.  Another stamp I haven't used before. The image was stamped and waiting to be coloured. I am doing quite well so far working my way through my box of stamped images.  I coloured it with Copics and added some doodling. The papers are MFT again and I used some MFT border dies, Gummiapan heart dies and a Marianne heart balloon die. The sentiment is from a Stamposaurus set.

Dr Who themed Wedding

I get some unusual requests for cards and this one was for a Wedding card in blue and white with a Dr Who theme if possible. I thought the groom had a look of Dr Who about him so I used this Wild Rose topper changing the colour of the flowers to blue with a Wink of Lunar pen for a metallic sparkle. I printed the Tardis off the internet and subtly added it with the flowers so it doesn't overpower the card. I added Wild Orchid flowers, seam binding and some lovely lace. 

I would like to enter the anything goes challenge at Not just cards. 

Commissioned Wedding card

It is my turn to host the new challenge at Crafty Ribbons and I chose Weddings/Anniversaries. I have been making several Wedding cards and this was a special request for a  large Wedding card including silver and bicycles.

I've used a new Marianne watering can die with kraft and a Mrianne topiary tree with kraft and sanded Core'dinations. A few little flowers and pearls to finish.

It's another 8" square card and another Wild Rose image, but very different to yesterday's elephant. I was lucky enough to win this sweet stamp from my WW teamie, Squirrel and it's the first chance I have had to colour her. The card is for my Mum's husband to give my Mum for her Birthday coming up later this month.

At Totally Gorjuss this week we have a great sketch for you to use and the chance to win a voucher from Joanna Sheen. I do love elephants and for my card, which is an 8" square, I have used one of the gorgeous stamps from Wild Rose, coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. I have used one of my fave paper pads, Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby. I have used a neglected MS deep edge trellis punch and added some lovely glittery ribbon and bow. I have used both the butterflies and the negative from the MB die and Viva pearl pen on the butterflies. The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.

Good morning, I'm here with my GDT card for The Stamp Basket project for today. I love decorating gift bags and need to make several more ready for craft fairs. I like to make the design wider than the bag sometimes by using different angles.

Annabelle's Meadow

Good morning everyone, I'm here with my first guest designer card for The Stamp Basket. I am so pleased  to have been given the opportunity to work with these beautiful products.

My card today features one of the gorgeous Annabelle's Meadow panels from Wild Rose. I have teamed it with paper from the same range and used Tattered Rose Distress Ink around the edges of both to add to the soft look. I've topped it off with some blue sheer ribbon, Hobby House pearls, Prima flowers and a pearl brad. The scrolls behind the flower were made by die cutting using a Memory Box Macarena die and then cutting them in half. I've then finished with some die cut butterflies using another Memory Box die.

You can find all of these products including the Craftwork Cards card blank at The Stamp Basket.

As well as leaving me a comment here I would really appreciate it if you hopped over to The Stamp Basket blog and left a comment there.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Yippee, how pleased am I, I sorted out the problem with my blog background at last. I also made the top 3 at Little Claire and won the challenge at Delightful Challenges. Part of that prize is to be a guest designer one week.

This week at Totally Gorjuss Net has challenged us to 1,2,3. My DT card has 1 paper, 2 flowers and swirls and I've used 3 Go Kreate dies to make this cute easel card with a Wild Rose image. The gorgeous glittery paper is Henbury Lane and cherry blossom flowers are Wild Orchid with Sizzix cut swirls. I've used Promarkers as always and a Sakura clearstar pen on the dress detail and jewellery.

I would like to enter this into the challenge of a right royal knees up (royalty, posh frocks etc) at A Spoon full of sugar and fashion at Ladybug crafts Ink where they also have a bloghop.

Enjoy the rest of your bank holiday weekend.

Love is in the air

Lots of DT work to do so its a quick post from me with a couple of anniversary cards to share. I'll hopefully have more time for commenting soon. Thanks to those of you have left me comments lately. I see that I have lost 3 followers since I drew my candy. Aren't people funny, I never stop following anyone. Anyway onto my cards. The first one is another of those gorgeous LOTV images with 2 of their sentiments. I went with a bright colour scheme for a change. Papers are Henbury Lane with an off piece of heart paper. All coloured with Promarkers with Sakura gold and white souffle pens for accents. Love Grows has been coloured with Broken China distress ink ad gold pen. I didn't have any red roses so I coloured some white ones from Wild Orchid with a red Promarker and added punched fern leaves and pearls.

Challenges:
ABC Sketch and N is for Nesties (4 on this card)
Lili of the Valley Romance
By the cute and girly Red is all around us
Crafty Creations My love is like a red, red rose
CES Red and romance

The second card is one I made for Lynsey, whose anniversary was on Thursday. I posted it first class on Tuesday and wasn't pleased that it didn't arrive until Friday. Isn't that bad, within the same county. I even took it to the Post Office as I was pretty sure it would be a large letter, which of course it was. The image is from Wild Rose, papers are Prima and Laura Ashley. The border punch is an MS one I bought in America. I haven't seen that one for sale here.

Have a great weekend everyone. We're off to the theatre tonight for a meal and a show, Hairspray.
