Warm Winter Wishes....

Hey all...well what more to do on a day off then make a card...so here it is.  I am just loving these papers from MME - Winter wonderland collection...might need more!!  I layered them onto bazzill card and distressed each of the layers. The stamp is of course from Sugar Nellie - Warm Winter Wishes which I coloured with the usual copics.  I added a couple of snowflakes which were glittered up and the pom pom trim.  The message is from Craftwork Cards....oh and I added some little pearls using an ice white pearl pen.

Time for some doodling...

Good morning folks...well I am so glad I didn't leave the washing until today as it's pouring down, typical Scottish weather!!
I made this card last night so I thought I would share it with you all today.
I followed the Sketch on the MFT blog, the image is from Saturated Canary - Belle and Becki which I coloured with copics. The papers are MME - Be Amazing which I layered onto kraft and bazill card. I added my doodles around the edges, the flowers, clouds and panel I have all be cut with MFT dies, the tiny tags have been cut a SU jewellery tag punch and then finally some twine, ribbon and a button....hope you like!!

another wee cupcake....

Hi folks....well it's been a lovely day here today and I have managed to get lots of washing done and hung out...hopefully it will be dry soon!! I am hoping that I will be able to get most of folded and put away without having to iron it.

I am just loving this little stamp from LOTV...she is so adorable. My friend Donna asked me to make her a card to give to her auntie as it's a big birthday for her at the weekend....hope she likes it.

I coloured the image with copics, the papers are First Edition - New Leaf which I layered onto kraft, I distressed the edges and added some stitching. The flowers have been cut with matching card and kraft using my MFT flower trio die and I gave them some doodled petals and stuck a pearl in the center....a few of my favourite things on this card!!

aah...little chickie...

Good afternoon folks...I know it's unusual to see a post from me on a Sunday but I am holiday from work this weekend. I have been having a wee play with some of the goodies I bought at the SECC and I although I'm not really in to Easter cards, I just couldn't resist this little cutie...I think it's an adorable stamp...
..so the stamp is from LOTV and I coloured with copics and did a bit of shading with polychromos, the papers are Springtime from Echo Park. I layered each piece on to bazill card and stitched and distressed the edges, I even managed to stitch around the message. I am entering the following challenges...

Holly's card..

Well they you should never work with children or animals....my patience has been tested today!! As it's the school holidays and Holly is at a loose end today, although she has her plans for the rest of the week, she thought she would make a card. It's one of her friend's birthdays soon so she made this card....now Holly can be a bit heavy handed especially when it comes to glitter and glue....not a good combination for her however no glitter required for this one but I thought she would manage sticking this down with glue rather than tape...a bit more give with the glue. Shall we say the card is still abit heavy and damp with glue!! The papers are from Bo Bunny - sun Kissed which I think match well with the Anya she has used which she coloured with promarkers. Holly has entered this in the challenges below.

Birthday...

Hi all...this is the first post of perhaps a few today..taking advantage since I am on holiday from work. Will need to do other things too including get dressed as i still have my jammies on!! I had inked this image up and coloured it a couple of weeks ago but just hadn't got round to sticking it on a card so here it is. The image is of course Times to Treasure from LOTV which I coloured with promarkers...still don't have a huge selection of colours hence the reason I was kind of stuck with what papers to use. The papers are from MME - Stella rose which I am loving just now. I added a message and some Wild Orchid flowers...no die-namics flowers on this but watch out for the next post as I have totally made up for it on that one!!
