Mother's day

 For my mum's Mother's day card,

I decided to use Patties new image: Forget-me-knots...


We have lots of Forget-me-knots in our garden, which are all
just starting to bloom. They are beautiful!
I looked closely at the flowers before colouring this image.
I popped he image onto 3d foam and backed onto the grey and blue papers. 
I dry embossed the edge of the grey card,
as well as drawing on faux stitching.
A stamped sentiment and punched butterflies finished this card.

Glamorous girls

Pattie, over at Patties Creations has designed this fab image,
called "Martini girls please"
and I couldn't resist using it for my friends birthday card...


 As you will see, I will be making a fair few "50" birthday cards this year...
I'm turning 50 soon, too!
Anyway, I coloured the image with my alcohol pens
and added bits of glamour, using glitter, to the girls jewellery
and clothes. 
The 50 was diecut from sparkly gold, and the stars were punched.

I added a backing paper behind to set off the image and a stamped sentiment.

The first of the 50's.

I have a big birthday in a few months 
as does my sister and lots of my friends. 

Pattie has designed this set of images called milestones 
and you can get every big birthday in the set! 


 I added a computer generated sentiment into the image. 
I coloured the wreath with my alcohol pens and
glittered to number with stickles glitter glue. 
(It's really hard to photograph glitter well!)
The image was inked round the edges, and dry embossed, 
then backed on a piece of patterned paper.

Reindeer cheer!

 Happy new year!

I made this card recently, using Patties "Silly Reindeer" 
as a first Christmas card for 2025. ..


I coloured the image with my alcohol pens and fussy cut round it. 
I glittered all the little light bulbs on the image and his nose!
Snowflake covered vellum was popped behind the image,
with a stamoed greeting and a paper edge, which was edged in gold ink.

Cute Christmas

Pattie's Creations has a new image in her shop..
"Christmas Cactus Trio"


I printed off the image and fussy cut along the bulb string. 
I stamped a sentiment, edged the sides in a thin gold pen and 
added an embossed piece of card at the bottom.

along with some fine, coloured glitters.

Snow couple

 This month I have used Patties Creations image: Snow couple.

I coloured the image with my alcohol pens and used some fine glitter
 on the hat, scarf and gloves.

The lantern and the greeting are diecut.

Sparkle all the way...


is the focal point for my card this month...


There are actually 3 baubles that come in the image, but this shaped one is my favourite.
I coloured it with my promarkers,
added a strip of paper behind the image,
with a thin slice of gold border. 
After dry embossing the edge of the card, I hand stamped 
the sentiment - and glittered the word "Sparkle". 
(It is really difficult to photograph that part!
