And even more commissions...

Thought I would show a couple more cards I have been

making... requests from my work colleagues ....

 

"Can I have a card...from my toddler son, to his fave nursery nurse, who is leaving nursery?"

Well, I thought I was going to be stumped with that request...

I thought and thought and decided I wanted it to have

something childlike on there, somewhere...

I eventually came up with this...

Papers from my minds eye.

Butterflies punched from new Martha Stewart punch.

Inked edges, matted and layered,

and hand drawn faux stitching.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges...
Love to Create challenge - For a child (this card is "for a child...  to give"... ends 27th May)

 

 

This is an A4 card.

"Can you make a card with a morrocan theme, for my sister? Oh, she loves bags too!"

Sentiment - computer generated.

Bag - pink petticoat image.

Paper - found on the internet.

Border... not sure, but I bought this one in a load of punched

 borders on a car boot sale last yr!

Butterflies,..again, Martha Stewart.

 

I would like to add this to the following challenges...

That craft place - dies and punches. (ends 8th June)

Papertake weekly - Paper piecing (the "40") (ends 27th May)

Both cards were extremely well received! ;)

I love that feeling,,, when you make someone so happy, with something you've made! xx

 



Engagement cards

 I made these recently...just felt like making some engagement cards for my 

ever-handy "box."

 I was inspired by a card I saw on Docrafts...

and made my own version. 

I drew a hand shaped template and chalked round the edge

to get the hand-print shape, added a large gem and a little gold promarker -

for the ring - and a computer generated sentiment. 

Finished the edges with a bit of rounding on the corners.

I would like to add this into the following challenges...

CAS on Sunday - pastel pretties (ends 24th May)

The corrosive challenge - use a sentiment (ends may 26th May)

My craft spot - invitations and announcements (ends 22nd May)

Sarah Hurley challenge blog - shades of blue (ends 26th May)

Chalk n stock - use chalk (ends 31st May)

This is a dovecrafts paper that I found in my stash on a recent clear out.
It was not quite big enough of a piece, to cover a card, so was about to be resigned
to my "bits of paper box" when this card popped into my head!

I found loads of scraps I'd forgotten I had!  Lol...

I printed on a sentiment, added a thin (hand-tied-bow) ribbon,

and Bobs-your-uncle!   ;)

I would like to add this to the following challenges...

Hiding in my craft room challenge - use those scraps! (ends 17th May) HIMCR97

A couple more cards I made recently for commissions...

 

A Zumba card!

Made for a zumba fanatic! :)

Christening cards...again!

Wow! I have never had to make sooo many christening cards, before!

I think these two make about 6 already this year!

 

 This first one, is for my friends little girl...

Tillie Belle. 

I thought that such a pretty name, she needed a pretty card!

I used Nitwits bears,

Funky fairies gingham paper ,

Image from pc, faded so I could put the message on the top.

I got the phone call to say they loved it! ;)

 

This card was for a comission.

Again, image from pc,

paper from Funky Fairies,

punched butterflies,

matted and embossed around the edge.

 

 



I'm back with one...for now! :)

I'm still here:)  Thought I would add a few over the next few days, that I made for commissions recently...

This one to start with....

This one looks sooo much better in real life...

I used a purple paper I have had for yonks, from a 6 x 6 paper pack.
