Happy Happy Happy

 

I am back today with a card for the Stay Crafty/Hero Arts challenge.

They are wanting cards representing 'another year older'

I stamped 'happy' 3 times on the left, and then cut nine circles with my cuttlebug in two sizes. After layering them I added some little stickers, and glitter on the dark edges.

These were attached to a piece of dp and edged with a scrap of cotton ribbon

Snowman

 

Another entry for the BYSHCardmakers linky party

The snowman is a die from Creative Expressions, which I cut from a soft pearl card, and adhered to the red base. I ran a narrow piece of ds tape down the left edge and sprinkled with holographic glitter. A peeloff finished it off

Summer Birthday

 

Hi there crafty friends

Today's card was made using one of the first stamp sets that I bought (more than 20 years ago)

I stamped with Memento and coloured with markers as follows

Promarkers - praline and pastel beige

Copics - ultramarine and lipstick orange

Creative Graphics - green bice

I used a stitched circle die to cut it out and layered onto a stitched edge DP. Then added a peeloff coloured with the ultramarine

Christmas in July

 

Hi everyone and welcome 

There are a lot of Christmas in July challenges at the moment, so I made this card to enter some of them

I have used the sketch from BYSHC and some scraps from a SU pad

My Snowy is from a Penny Black set called holly-jolly and I coloured him with toning markers. The sentiment is a peeloff which I coloured

Unforgettable

 

Good morning all

Today's card uses a background from my large box of trimmed backgrounds. I added some colour with fossilized amber DOX , a little frayed burlap, and a few water splashes

I stamped directly using Adirondak Espresso, and heat embossed with detail clear EP

The markers used to colour were Copic Y26 mustard, E79 cashew Y38 honey, and Creative Graphic 163 green bice

The branch was freehand cut from a scrap of paper and the sentiment is from an EF which has a lot of different words on it.

Outlined with a black marker and adhered to a white base card

Flowers

 

Hello all

After watching a demo by Eileen Goodwin, this is my attempt at her style.

I cut a circle template with a die and coloured the part circles with various shades of Memento ink

The stamp is from LaBlanche, and does not appear to have a name

After rounding the corners, and sponging with DI worn lipstick, I attached to my base card, and added some WOS to the butterflies and some enamel dots to the circle edges

Pink Butterfly

 

Hello crafty friends

Today's card follows a sketch from Cut It Up and I have used some scraps from a 6x6 pad by Prima. I diecut the rectangles using a stitched die and adjusting the size to what I needed. The circle is a stitched circle too. Sorry I don't know the brands as I have discarded the packaging long ago! The edges are sponged with DI worn lipstick, and the scrap for the butterfly was coloured with this also. It is a very plain butterfly shape, so I embossed it and highlighted the raised areas with some silver metallic paste. The body piece is covered with pink 'bling' but it has changed colour in the scan.

Hi everyone

Just sneaking in at the last minute with my entry for Allsorts where they are asking for 'girly'

I have had this stamp set for quite some time, and this is the first time I have used it.

I coloured with a mix of copics and promarkers, and was quite pleased with the hair, although I probably need more practice yet.

A piece of sparkly trim and a gold embellishment finished the bottom
