Birds of a feather

Today's card was inspired by Clare Lloyd at Paper Artsy. I had to improvise, as I did not have the same stamps etc, but I quite like the result. The circles and branch were from a Jofy set, the birds Hero Arts, and the message was from a Studio G set. I have coloured with mainly Promarkers
I stamped the birds again on a snippet, and they are raised up a little from the card.

New Beginnings

There are several challenges in blogland with a 'new' theme, and as I needed some baby cards, I am able to enter with these.
I have cut them on my Cameo using a template from Cardmaking Paradise (see my sidebar for the link - it is a fabulous site) I have sponged the edges with matching ink and added some trimmed paper for the lace. The white one was run through my CB for added texture.

Happy New Year

Debbie, over at A Scrapjourney is asking to see our 5 favourites of 2013. Here are my choices - for no particular reason.

 A fairly mixed bunch!!

Best wishes to all for 2014

Bird on a wire!

I am challenging myself to use some of the different stamp pads that I have. This one is Kaleidacolor Riviera, and I applied it over the delightful image that I won from Beccy. I had to mask the bird and colour it with Promarkers. I have added some Dimensional magic to his beak and used black Glossy Accent for his eye. I then layered it onto a white card base.

'wish'

An experiment for me today - I am using my favourite mauve/purple colours, but have added rose into the mix for the flowers.
This is a lovely digi that I won at the Fitztown blog, and I have coloured her with promarkers and copics. The doily was sprayed with Dylusions, and also some glimmer spray. I have added diecut flourishes, a layered flower, some tiny punched butterflys, glittered the wings, and stamped the sentiment 'wish' I also added some dimensional magic to the ladybug to highlight it.
I am entering the following challenges

Passion for Promarkers - include a sentiment

Scootin' By

Here we are - rushing over to the playground on our scooter!

I have layered a snippet of pale blue across the bottom, and added some washi tape. The image is from LOTV, which I trimmed and inked the edges. I am entering this at

snippets!

I was trimming some edges from a piece for another card, when I realized that they were a perfect match for this one. The original had several embossing folders used, and sponged with DI, and a little gold metallic rub on. The topper was also sponged with DI, and the sentiment and flower were from a selection of  goodies that I won earlier in the year, all layered onto a black card

Pixie's Crafty Workshop challenge, as I used some snippets that didn't even make it into the scrap box!

I wish all my followers a very happy Festive Season and all good wishes for 2014
