Thanks

I sprayed a piece of card with dylusions and then embossed with the swiss dots folder in my cuttlebug. I added the diecut 'thanks' and some punched flowers and butterflies. The daisy is made on a daisy wheel with raffia. challenges -

Vintage!

Today's card has a vintage feel to it. I have used 2 pieces of a DP for the background, and made a tag piece by stamping French Script on an angle, on a snippet from my scrap box, then adding a vintage photo, some scraps of lace and a layered flower

Bold and Beautiful

This is one of a series of notepads I have been making.
I have layered the top with a square of cream card from my snippet box, which I embossed in my cuttlebug. The edges are sponged with DI.
I stamped the image 3 times, and cut out the flower head and the centre separately
I have used a mixture of copics and promarkers to colour, and have layered the flower to give dimension

I'm back!!

I can't believe it is almost 2 months since I have posted on my blog.
We have been away on a fantastic cruise, which went through the Panama Canal. It was so interesting.
But, now it is back home to reality!!

The background of my card was done with Colour Burst - yellow ochre, on a pearl finish card. I then embossed it with a dragonfly folder through my Cuttlebug, and lightly sponged the edges. I stamped the flower in black Memento on a snippet of white card, and coloured it with copics and promarkers, using Autumn tones. I finished off with a scrap of organza ribbon, and tied the bow with some bakers twine.

Thanks for looking, and have a great weekend

Lace!

I have used a piece of Kaisercraft dp for the backing of this card and sponged the edges with a green ink. I have used a scrap of crochet lace to accent the word Papillon, and then added a vellum butterfly which I diecut from a scrap of vellum, ran it through my 'bug with a texture folder and added some liquid pearls for the body.

Ellie the elephant

I printed a gorgeous doodle pattern from the web, sorry I have lost the designer's name to give credit to.
I have coloured in with a mixture of copics, promarkers, sakura glaze pens, and added a few highlights with a wink of stella pen.
The card design is one from the Cardmaking Paradise site (link is on my sidebar) and I cut it out with my cameo. The ear is raised a little with a faom square.
