it's a birthday...

 

Good morning everybody and what a lovely day it looks like it's gonna be...might be able to get some washing hung up outside!!

HAPPY EASTER!!

Now I sat up late last making this card and I am pleased with it however it supposed to be for one of the girls at work and I have forgotten to make space for a name...oh well...just need to make another!

I have used papers from MME - On the sunny side which I layered onto kraft card, the stamp and message  is from LOTV which I coloured with copics, the flowers have been cut using a die-namics flower trio die, the flourish is a Magnolia die.  I then added some pearls to the centres of the flowers and in the corners of each of the layers and then added a button and bow to finish...oh and there is some glitter on the image too.

A wee birthday wish...

hey Friday bloggers....well it's a lovely day outside today although I am still not feeling 100% and still off work so I thought I would cheer myself up with a card.  So not my normal colour combo but that may because I am under the weather but I think I like it....I am not going to wish that i should be under the weather more often cos I wouldn't want that....

The stamp is Milly Just for you from LOTV which I coloured with copics, then shaded with polychromos.  The papers are from MME - My Girl and are so delish and the flower has been cut with felt using my die-namics mini hybrid rose....not sure about this flower in felt!!  I finished off with some little gems...oh and I doodled around the edges too.

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.

Sweet 16....

Happy Sunday everybody....another miserable day here although it was snowing earlier but now it's raining!!

I made this card for Holly's friend who is 16 next week...hope she likes it!!

I have used a mixture of MME papers from different collections, I have used the MFT rolled royal rose die and again and cut out 2 die cuts and rolled them together to give a two tone effect, the swirly corner die is from Magnolia and the numbers have been cut by hand ...goodness knows what I have done with my numbers!! The stamp is from Sugar Nellie - Fabulous Darling which has been coloured with copics.  I added some pearls and some doodling to finish.

Sugar Bowl Challenge #91

Good morning sugar fans and welcome to my scheduled post....back to work I'm afraid but only 8 sleeps until I go on holiday...yay!!


The challenge over at The Sugar Bowl this fortnight is the fabby sketch below...



....and of course the optional extra of "shabby chic".

As always the prize for one lucky winner picked at random is 4 Sugar Nellie stamps from FunkyKits...


...over 100 entries then that prize increases to 6 Sugar Nellie stamps.

Now this was a challenge for me and I don't know if I have quite managed the shabby chic look....however for my card I have used "Pillow Talk which is from the Simply Sassy Range at Sugar Nellie"which I coloured with copics, the papers are First Edition - Desert blooms, I inked up all the layers around the edges and duffed them up a bit, the rolled flowers have been made using my MFT die(lost it for a while but found it again) and the flourish has been cut from a doo hickey die, and I added a few pearls to finish....hope you likey!!

If you haven't already seen the new Official Sugar Nellie Group on Facebook...then pop over to join in the fun!!
