anniversary 2

So, here is another one of 

the anniversary cards I have recently made. 

This one is for some special friends.

The paper came from the same paper pack as last time, 

(The Works, 99p)

and the stamp "always have" is from a lovely pack I bought in Hobby Lobby 

when we visited, over Easter.

A very lovely friend - Helen - bought 

the gorgeous "love" die for me, for my birthday. 

(and the little stars are the punchouts from my "frostyville die -

 that I must have cut a few years ago, but 

I can't throw anything away "that might come in useful!!")

A little embossing, inking and faux stitching around the edge, finished off this card!

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Anniversary time...

I'm still here! 

I know I haven't been around much lately...

we are in the middle of a hectic, but exciting time.

Don't want to jinx anything, but will let you know when 

we are a few steps further ahead with our plans...

I have been able to get back to a little crafty time -

and oh, how I have enjoyed myself! 

I made this card for my Mum and Dads

anniversary, coming up next week.

I *think* they have been married 45 years... 

so wrote about that on the inside, but wasn't quite

sure enough - so didn't put it on the front. 

At the moment, I am working with limited supplies,

but created this clean and simple card.

Infact, I love the paper pack this came from 

(The Works, 99p per pack - 6 x 6 papers)

and have created 3 anniversary cards from that pack, which I 

will be sharing with you over the next week or two. 

So, this card was made with one paper, one stamp,

and 2 diecuts. 

 A little glossy accents picks out each of the hears on 

the paper background, but it's hard to see on the picture.

I would like to enter some challenges with this card...

Seagulls...summer?

At Patties Creations this month,

 we would like you to...

 "make a splash! - include water in your image "

I used Patties gorgeous image,

Seagulls Roost

and thought this would be perfect for a fathers day card

for my father-in-law, as he loves holidaying at the seaside.

I coloured the image with my promarkers and

layered lots of colours, to give depth and a realistic feel.

The seagull in the middle, I decoupaged.

I did a little inking on the sky, to age the image a little

and mounted it all onto a woodgrain effect embossed piece.

I would like to enter this  into the following challenges:

Fathers day

At Patties Creations this month, we have set the challenge to make a:

"Fathers day or Graduation card."

I chose to make a Fathers day card...

and it was simple, with this fab "stacking pots" image!

I printed off the image, with an extra one too,. so I could 

colour (with my promarkers) and decoupage the pots.

The green watering can is a die cut (I forgot I had!,

 as are the gardening tools. 

I added a computer generated sentiment and

an embossed background...

This card is going to go to my Father in Law for Fathers day.

He loves his green house, and little allotment-like garden!

Birds and flowers

With imminent (I hope) changes on the way for me, 

This will be my last DT post with Glitter n Sparkle -

just for a little while. 

I will return, as I love being a part of the team, but 

there's a bit too much going on at the minute...

So...

My last challenge with them for a while is...

"flower power."

I loved using this image - Home Sweet Home - 

from A Day for Daisies.

I printed it along with a little part of the branch and a

 freebie sentiment I found on the www.

I coloured using my promarkers

and added a little organza ribbon. 

I wanted to keep this one C.A.S and so

embossed a single line around the outside,

before adhering on foam pads, to the cardbase.

My favourite colour

Here is my second (and final) card as guest designer at The Crazy Challenge...

The challenge this time, is to "use your favourite colour"

Well... I LOVE blue, turquoise and purple

and I LOVE this image from A Day For Daisies.

I printed the image and sentiment

and embossed and inked around the edge.

I matted it onto one of my fave papers and then again onto an piece which I 

had embossed with flowers, through my bigshot.

Finally, I inked the embossed piece

and added some small punched butterflies and liquid pearls. 

The image was coloured with promarkers.

Wine

Over at Glitter n Sparkle this week, 

the old fave challenge is back - anything goes!

I worked with an image called "wine tableau" from Sparkle n Sprinkle.

I thought this would be a great image to use on a birthday card -

and would suit a lot of people I know! 

I coloured the image with my promarkers and

added some glossy accents to the grapes and wine.

Ribbon and / or lace...

...That's the challenge at Glitter n Sparkle this week.

Although I am a D.T member, I got a Patties Creations image -

One I don't own, and have been hankering after, for a while,

for the right challenge...

It's - Crystal Chandelier.

The image was so lovely to colour. 

I used all my 5 "grey" shades of promarkers

and a white sakura pen, to pop on some highlights.

The sentiment is from Pink Petiicoat - 

which is sadly no longer trading. 

All the little droplets are filled with little diamantes,

to give that extra bit of sparkle and bling.

I punched the bottom border, with a punch that loosely resembles lace

and added a little handtied ribbon up the side.

Embossing a clean line around the edge of the card and a little inking, finished this one.

Guest Designer - challenge 1 !

I was delighted recently, when I won a 

guest designer spot

over at The Crazy Challenge!

The first of my 2 challenges is to...

"use 3 layers or more"

and handily, I needed a card for someone who has recently passed her driving test.

The image is from Beansie Doodles

and is called "Zilpha."

I coloured her with my promarkers 

and hnd-drew and cut a little 'broken' learner plate.

The background border sits on a piece of kraft card

which has an embossed line along the top

and a fancy cut bottom edge.

The paper across the middle is actually from an old road map!

I carefully picked the area where she lives and has been learning to drive. 

The sentiment was printed straight onto the card.

One for my mum

This weeks challenge at Glitter n Sparkle is to make,]

"One for the Ladies!"

An easy one for me - as I have my mums birthday coming up soon...

I dropped on the perfect image for my mum - combining her loves: 

cats, her kitchen and baking.

The image is called "Aurora - little baker and love kitchen."
and its from the East Wind.
I embossed with my favourite hearts folder - it embosses beautifully
and you can use it any which way -
and my other new favourite... I got it in the USA a few weeks ago - paw prints.
I have never seen a paw prints embossing folder before and knew
as soon as i saw it, I had to snap it up!
It again, embosses beautifully.
I added a red punched border and the image was matted and layered.
The flowers are so lovely.. from docrafts and the little tag is from craftwork cards.
On the original image, the little frame "hanging" at the top of the image, says "LOVE"
but I wanted to say MUM somewhere on the card..
and thought that was the perfect spot, so I
snipped a little piece of card to fit and handwrote the letters.
The herat diecut is from menmory box.

Mothers Day cosmos flowers

Over at Patties Creations, the challenge this month is,

"Mother's Day / Flowers only."

I went with the Mother's Day option... 

although this could work for the "flowers" option, too!

For this card, I used  the lovely image - "watering can cosmos."

I coloured the image with my promarkers ...pastel beige for the watering can

and various pinks n purples for the flowers. 

The leaves are marianne diecuts mixed with a big curly flourish.

The Butterflies are cheery lynn dies.

I also used my new Sue Wilson frame dies...which I love!

I made the sentiment myself in publisher.

Shaped card

At Glitter n Sparkle this week,. the challenge is to make a 

"shaped card."

I had a "fairy door" shaped card in mind when I saw this cute 

Xmas Fairy image at Ikes Art...

I hand- drew and cut the shaped card.

I used a backing paper form a 6 x 6 pack from 'The Works'

and drew some faux planks up and down it, with

little white dots along the outside edges.

I hand cut the little door in white card and embossed 

lines to create a wooden door effect.

I also added a little grey promarker and pencil, to give a shade of depth 

but this is hard to see in the photo.

The edges of the door have been dotted with silver.

The fairy was coloured with my promarkers and fussy-cut.

For the final details, I added some diecut stalks and leaves

and punched flowers. 

A few small Martha Stewart butterflies

finished off this card.

This set is called J'taime Paris.

I have included the Eiffel tower, bike, table and chairs, poodle and "bonjour!"
They all come as uncoloured images and pre-coloured images!
For this card, I selected to sue the pre-coloured images this time. 

The border is diecut and i punched the flowers and doodled a bit on them. 

Th backing paper is the first of my pack form Lawn Faun.

Red and White

Our challenge this week, at Glitter n Sparkle 

is to "use red and white."

I loved this simply beautiful image this week

 for this challenge, from Bugaboo 

it's called, "flower tags: tag 2"

I wanted the flower to be the focal point 

and was desperate to use my new stamps... 

we went to Canada last week and

I had the joy of visiting Hobby Lobby again...

I bought mainly: embossing folders, stamps and a few dies.

The stamp I used here is one of my HL new ones. 

I embossed the background and cut out the centre, to fit the 

flower frame on 3d foam pads, and matted the embossing on red.

I carefully placed the stamp inside the frame

 and prayed it would work first go...it did!

Hurrah!!

Blue owl

Yey! I got to use an image from

Kitty Bee Designs this week, for our

"sun / moon / stars / space" challenge at

 the Glitter n Sparkle blog.

I won the sentiment on a challenge a while ago, from digi makeover 

- they have some lovely ones over there!

I coloured carefully with my promarkers

and chalked the edges of everything.

The star embossed background is enhanced with

a new purchase...blue / silver star glitter tape!

I bought this on our holiday on Canada... earlier this week.

I bought quite a few different rolls - 

from the dollar store! 

Works out at about 60p per roll...and there's tons on each roll!

from SLS Lines....

its called  "Wine drinker: lady with glass of wine"

The challenge over at Glitter n Sparkle this week, is to:

"use a die or punch"

...an easy challenge for me! I LOVE using my dies and punches!

So... the frame is a spellbinders die. 

The borders are punched and the little tag is cut from a die.

I embossed the hearts in the background and 

coloured the image with my promarkers. 

Glossy accents has highlighted the wine in the glass.

Spring is here....

At Patties Creations this month, 

you have a choice with our monthly challenge. It's

"Eastertime or Springtime."

I chose Springtime...

I absolutely adore this image - and have done, for a long time.

It's called "sweet nectar" 

I have lots of these plants in my garden....

Its called bleeding heart and I think I have about 

5 of the pink ones and 2 white ones. 

It's a real spring flower. 

Infact, mine is peeping up from it's soily winter blanket as I type.

I shall add some pics when it's grown and full. 

The hummingbirds are so lovely too. 

The image actually only comes with one hummingbird...the bigger one.

I flipped the image and made it smaller,

because as soon as I saw this image, I knew I wanted

it on the front of an anniversary card for my parents-in-law.

Their anniversary is on 2nd April.. they had a springtime wedding!

I decoupaged the larger hummingbird on 3d foam, to make it stand out a little. 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

It' s Easter!

The challenege at Glitter n Sparkle this week,. is "Easter!" 

Perfect for this time of year!

So.. here is my yearly Easter card...

I only make one.

It's for my niece and nephew. 

(Shes 12 and he is 3.)

The image is called "Pocket Patootie Easter Bunny"

from The Stamping Boutique.

It was a lovely image to colour with my promarkers.

I decoupaged his arm, so it stands off the image.

I stamped the little easter eggs using a free stamp set I got on a craft mag

a few years ago and added some 

docrafts flowers. 

I punched the border and the sentiment is from my pc. 

The backing paper was in a pack that cost me £1 a number of years ago. 

It's a lovely spring flowers paper.

Baby bunny

I got lucky enough this week, over at Glitter n Sparkle

to get a second image - "Cute Bunny" from Bugaboo.

Again, I created a card for our 

"anything goes" challenge...

I wanted to keep this simple -

I embossed the background with my "swiss dots" 

embossing folder. I love this method of embossing - with folders, in my bigshot...
it's easy, quick and effective!

I coloured the bunny with my promarkers

(and raised it off the card, with slight 3d foam pads)

and added a strip along the bottom, embossed the edges and 

added a diecut word... love. 

(It was my birthday this week, and a lovely friend knew i wanted this die, 

and sent it to me - as a surprise!  Thankyou Helen ...

I love it!)

Sepia tones

When I got this image called "Billy" from Ppinkydolls, 

I wanted to make it look like an old sepia image...

I played about with my lyra pencils and derwent watercolour pencils 

to create the soft colouring, as the image is drawn so softly. 

The challenge this week at Glitter n Sparkle is 

"Anything goes"

so I could play with the sepia technique. 

I used some strips of beige / brown papers

and embossed and softly chalked the background, to give a little more detail. 

The sentiment is stamped on the card base.. it's from craftwork cards.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Use green...

This weeks challenge at Glitter n Sparkle

is ... "use green"

So I coloured this cute image - Cadence - 

from Spellbinding Stamps,

using plenty of green!   

I thought this lovely image was gorgeous to colour. 

I popped her onto an embossed star background, once I had fussy cut around her. 

I embossed using a docrafts folder - my favourite way to emboss,

as its quick. simple and very effective! 

The sentiment is from pink petticoat...which is now, sadly, closed.

It was really hard to photograph, but i have also used my fave diamond

stickles on her wings and near the sentiment. 

I matted the embossed piece and the sentiment onto green card, 

but thought it needed something more,

so added white dots with my white sakura pen.

Mother's Day

This is one of the cards I have made ..

At Glitter n Sparkle, the theme this week is "Mother's day"

and I used the image "Cat" from Kenny K.

Sooo cute! 

I coloured him with my promarkers and the sentiment is from 

Pink Petticoat - which has now sadly closed.

The backing paper is from a pack I bought in the works for £1.

I made a little banner and embossed the bottom, to sit the cat and sentiment on. 

To finish, I inked the edges of everything in pink.

Peacock

I got this stunning image this month... "peacock"

for our

USE GREEN monthly challenge

over at Patties Creations. 

I simply coloured this image with my promarkers...

although it did take a good while! (lol)

I used a peacock feather backing paper,

which I bought in a 6 x 6 paper stack in "The Works" a little while back. 

Some punched flowers and leaves

and a little faux stitching around the edge, finished this card.

A spring birthday

At Glitter n Sparkle this week, the challenge is to 

"use things with wings."

I was thrilled to get "Bunnies bird and flower border"

from Morgans Art Stamp Store.

I loved colouring this image - and I popped a spring sentiment inside.

I thought this could be used for a spring birthday card.

I simply coloured the image with my promarkers

and inked carefully around the edges with yellow, and popped 3d foam

 on the back to make it stand off the page.

Pink 'n' girlie

It's the old favourite challenge this week at Glitter n Sparkle -

Anything goes!

I used the cute image - bunny walk - from Cute as a button.

I often have someone in mind while I'm mking a card...

although this time, I didn't have anyone in mind...yet.

(That's why there's no sentiment ).

I used a mix of HOTP paper and docrafts papers and i fussy cut 

the little bunting from one of the docraft papers.

The image, as ever, I coloured with promarkers and 

added some punched Martha Stewart butterflies.

Love

At Glitter n Sparkle this week, 

the challenge fits perfectly with this time of year...

"Love is in the air...."

I got this cute little image called "hooked on love"

 from Robyn's Fetish.

I drew some "scales" on each of the fish, 

coloured them with my promarkers and popped them on 3d foam pads.

I inked the edges of an embossed background, which I think

resembles bubbles of water,

and found some wavy patterned paper.

(again to resemble water - waves)

The sentiment - I handwrote.

A few little golden heart "bubbles" finished off this card.

Sparkle

The challenge over at Glitter n Sparkle this week is...

"fireworks / sparkle"

I used Vivian from Zuri Artsy Crafty.

I coloured her hair and skin with my promarkers.

I "coloured" her dress purely with glamour dust - to create the 

"sparkle" for this weeks challenge. 

The baking vellum has given the "fireworks" feel -

and I glamour dusted a very fine edge to each side of the vellum,

which has just about picked up in the photo. 

The butterflies are punched from glitter card.

Celebrating love.

This month, at Patties Creations, the challenge is ...

"love is in the air" - so show us some love!

Here is my card for the challenge...

I used the image called "wedding glasses"

and have made a card for a wedding, engagement or anniversary.

I coloured the image with my promarkers and decoupaged it. 

The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat

and I used some fancy scissors to give the edge a it of something different,

before I inked the edges slightly. 

A narrow piece of gold organza ribbon 

(with a fiddly little bow, hand-tied in it!) finished off my card.
