Sketch saturday

This is not quite following the sketch as i got a bit distracted at a crucial moment and stuck snowy on the wrong side! but over all quite pleased with this card! Image is PB, coloured with PMs, not sure what the paper is, maybe doodlebug? embossed the white bit the snowflakes embossing folder through the bug and of course lots of stickles. The sentiment is done on the pooter.

Papertake and passion for PMs.

Not so keen on this card, think it looks a bit unfinished, but i was fed up of faffing around with it! The layout is from Papertake, and the colour scheme is from passion for PMs. think the image is PB, not too sure tho. the paper is DCVW, and the ribbon i found in me stash.

ASOS

Loved the layout on ASOS this week, wasnt so good at making sure everything was equal, but hey ho! it just makes it look handmade when its wonky! lol. image is PB snowy (thanks angie!) coloured with PMs. the paper is DCVW pink xmas stack and the glitter is stickles. Sentiment was done on the pooter.

just magnolia

well i havent made a tilda card for ages, so thought i would take a peek at the just magnolia challenge. I rotated the sketch. the papers are DCVW and i coloured her in with promarkers . sorry about the naff pics today, have fiddled with camera and done soemthing to it! lol. will have to wait until the man of the house comes home to sort it out (**update** think i have fixed the camera all by myself, have changed pic)

Colour create

Ok, ok , i know its not neon green but its the closest i had! made this card for Rob, my step father in laws birthday! well he would be that if i was married, but after 5 years i figure hes as good as my FIL! lol. think the image is from inkadinkadoo, the sentiment is the one that comes with it, but i typed it up instead!

ABC DT CALL

Will here are the 3 pieces i thought i would use to show my style. not really sure what my style is to be honest, although i definatly think im a cutesy type of card maker, which is odd as im so not a girly girl at! lol. i definatly love stamping, tho! by far my fave technique as you may of guessed from my blog!

this is for the DT call over on the ABC challenge, which you can find here!

Blog hop!

look at the fab prize you can win by playing along with the blog hop on passion for promarkers. ive only just got the whole set of the original colours and now i need the new colours as well lol x

Spoonful of sugar

The challenge on spoonful of sugar is to distress your card. so i embossed the green core card and then went over it with a nail file, not sure if you can really see in the photo. the image is a fiary doodles image coloured with copics and water colour pencils. the paper is DCVW, and a few gems and some ribbon from my stash. and pink staples which was my bargain from tesco the other day, a mini stapler and loads of coloured staples for £1.50!

Caz's Blog candy

The Lovely Caz has some scrummy candy on offer, but you have to work for it! She wanted everyone to make a card using pink, blue and cream. I made this, but now that i look at it, it looks more off white to me, so i hope im still allowed to enter! (pretty please! LOL) The image is Penny black, the paper is some old DCWV that i found, and the flowery bit on the top half was stamped with some random lil stamps that i found.

Shiney!

I made this card for my boyfriend as it was our 5 year anniversary yesterday. The challenge on cute card thurs was shiney, so i used mirror card and a little metal charm that says 'made for you'. The kitten at the back looks green, but he is grey really!

Friday Sketchers

This is my take on the friday sketchers layout. I used my fave elzybells stamp, coloured with whispers. a bit of ribbon that i found in a shop and put in my pocket :) . Im not sure what the paper is it was just in my stash. then i cut some flowers from pale pink card and velum using my woodware punches, and leaves, which is also woodware punch. the WISHES is from a stamp by whispers which says birthday wishes but i only used half of it. x

Flowery mouse - friday sketchers

Another cute PB image from kerry. I watercoloured himin with my pencils. Again ive used my ambrosia papers. Flowers from the bitty bag (again!). And the buttons from my stash. In 2 of the corners you can just see that ive used a little flourish stamp, this was from a lakeland crafts set, but im not sure which one. Quite a simple card, but i really like this one!
