Ruby...but in bluey green...

Hey everyone....isn't it baltic today?  The temperature it tells me just now is -1 which is warmer than it was first thing...was -3 then!!

 I have had to turn the heating up a wee bit too as Pepper got home from the vets yesterday and has most of her undercarriage shaved off...poor pooch!!  She was diagnosed over Christmas as having cancer so she has been poked and prodded to see what they can do....so we are waiting on further test results coming back before a final decision will be made. :(

Now I had half made this card between last night and this morning ready for pouncing on the postie today with my new die...love it!!  I also did try to go for another colour but I somehow coloured in blue...will save the pink for another day.

So the papers are from MME - Nutmeg collection which I layered onto bazzill card and distressed the edges, the stamp is from Personal Impressions which I coloured with copics, the flourish die is from Magnolia and the flower die is my new die-namics rolled hybrid heirloom rose received today, thank you Kitty!! I finished with some stickles and some tiny pearls made with my pearl pen.

Oh...what to do...

Oh what to do today...OH is away to the vets today with our poor pooch so it will be a long day to see if she will be ok so I may have to otherwise occupy my time...housework or crafting...hmmm let's see!!

So my first card today is this one...I coloured the image yesterday and finished it last night, I'm not sure if those flowers are a bit OTT but hey they are there now and stuck!!

The stamp is from personal Impressions - Bluebird's Proposal which I coloured with copics.  The papers are from Echo Park - So Happy Together which i distressed and layered them onto bazzill card which I also distressed. I added a piece of matching lace and a little charm.  the flowers have been cut with different die-namics rolled rose dies, the flourish is from a magnolia die....and the sentiment is from Stampin' Up....oops almost forgot, I added some tiny pearls with my pearl pen.

Aw.....cute as a bug...

 

Good morning folks....yes I know it's unusual to get a post from me today but I am on holiday from work for a few days.....yay cardmaking...maybe some housework too!!

I was at a loose end last night so I sat and coloured this little image, the stamp is called Sympathy Bugs from Whimsy Stamps.  I coloured it with copics and shaded with polychromos.  The papers are from MME - Lost and found Oliver.  I distressed each of the layers of paper aswell as the layers of card...something a bit different for me.  the flowers have been cut withvarious die-namics rolled rose dies and I have also added in a Prima flower...think it's made from resin and then I added some stickles...hope you likey.

Here I am...a bit late but as they say better late than never...lol!!  I had a few camera issues but all sorted now.

I am so glad the weathermen got it wrong today too as according to them this weekend we were to have severe snow and the temperature was to go down to -15...it was even that bad we had a code red at work and everyone had to take their laptops home for the weekend incase we can't get in on Monday but we can then work from home!!

today's challenge over at Sweet Stampin' is "gingham"...now we know you all love gingham so we are looking forward to seeing your creations.

we are sponsored this week by Stamp & Create...

and we have our monthly sponsor The Ribbon Girl...

 

So for my card I have used papers from MME - Howdy Doody collection which I layered onto bazzill card, then I distressed all around the edges. The ribbon flourish is from Magnolia and the stamp is LOTV - Bumble Bee Fairy which I coloured with copics and then gave a little shading with polychromos. i think I have to say though...this is not my favourite colour combo....but thought i needed to something away from my usual...

Peek a boo...

Good morning Sunday bloggers and my first post of the New Year...thought I would get this posted now as I have a busy day ahead of me. I need to make some soup, then I need to do the Facebook post and then I am helping my friend deliver some leaflets...which will be for about 3 hours...I am thinking of the brisk walking so some exercise in there.

So last night I doodled away colouring this little cutie and finished the card off this morning...it's a bit different and I think I like it although I'm not sure about the pink...

The papers are my new Basic Grey - Little Black Dress (although they are brown), the rolled flower has been cut with a MFT die-namics die and the leafy one is a magnolia die.  The image is Peek a Boo birthday from Sugar Nellie which as been coloured with copics and then glittered....hope you like.
