Toot toot...

Howdy folks....well a weekend of rain so get out the pens!!

So one of the young girls at work asked me to make a pink girly card for her friend who was about to sit her driving test, I hoped it wasn't tempting fate by making the card before she sat the test...however it wasn't as she did pass and here's the card!!

The papers are from Echo Park Love Story, the image is from Meljens Designs which I coloured with promarkers for a wee change and the flowers have been cut using my die-namics flower trio die which I doodled.  I added a ribbon bow fastened with a button...oh and doodled around the edges!!

Well done Poppy!!

A little bit manly...

 

Good morning Sunday bloggers...where has the sun gone??  It was roasty toasty yesterday but looks like we are back to the normal dull weather today.

So my mum asked me to make her a card for a friend who is going to be 70, she wanted something with a cowboy theme as he was cowboy daft when he was younger.  I told her the only image I had was a half naked man wearing a cowboy hat....and she said that would be perfect....lol!!

So I have used papers from Carta Bella Giddy Up Boy, the image is from Victoria Case which I coloured with copics.  I added some twine and attached a cowboy hat charm and punch out a star and added the numbers to it...oh and some doodles!!

Hello Audrey....

Good morning my luvvlies and my scheduled post...

So the team over at My Mum's Craft Shop are sharing some inspiration with you this week, you've seen some fabby cards this week already and a few more to go but first there's mine!!

When I saw this stamp I just had to have her...she is adorable and perfect for paper piecing although it did take me almost 4 hours so although very therapeutic, I'm not sure I would do that in a hurry again...

The papers are Basic Grey - Little Black Dress which I layered onto Bazzill card, I then stitched each of the layers.  I added a doily, some lace and ribbon aswell for a bit of texture...the flower is a die-namics mini hybrid rolled rose(fabby) and I layered that onto a die-namics fancy flourish and finished with some stickles and a birthday message....oh almost forgot I made some tiny pearls too. hope you can see the photo ok...it's not easy to get a good photo of dark colours!!

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.

California dreamin'...

Good evening bloggers and my late post...I have not long returned refreshed from my run...need to shift that last 1/2lb so I have taken to running...phew!!

My card this evening resembles our lovely weather...not..but wouldn't it be lovely just to have one sunny day. I bought this digi from Saturated Canary, she is called Cali Girl and I coloured her with copics....now I had to pay a little more attention to the skin colouring as I wanted her to have a sunkissed glow however I don't think she had her cream on her face as her cheeks are a bit well fired..I also added glossy accents to her sunnys to give them a bit of a shine. The papers are Fancy Pants - summer soul which are perfect for that summery look card. The flower is cut from my MFT Hibiscus die-namics die...

My GDT card for Cupcake...

Good morning bloggers and here we have my scheduled post for Cupcake Craft Challenges. This weeks challenge is "material girl".

Well I am kind of rubbish at using material however I thought I would make some felt flowers, felt is material so easy peasy!!

I have used papers from Fancy Pants - Summer Soul, the stamp is from Mo Manning called End of the Summer which I coloured with copics. All 3 flowers were cut from different MFT dies, the pink one is the rolled daisy die, the turquoise one is the loopy bloom die( but I snipped the loops) and the teal one is the bigger of the rolled rose dies. I added pearls, ribbon and a button too.
