Gothic

Ahhhh.... lovely snow! Don't think I've ever known it to snow before Easter before?! 

A quick post from me today as it's nearly 12, I need to tidy my desk and I will be up early for the F1 & craft show tomo... Exciting!! 

So here's the card to play along with My Time To Craft challenge of "Gothic"& Charisma Cardz of "Die Cuts"

Full Card

The image is by Tiddly Inks and the paper is glittered. It's out of the new "Noir et Chic" paper pack.

Both the hearts & swirls are die cuts.

Baby's 1st Birthday

Hello! What a busy week! Actually managed to get some stuff done today. 

Had an order for two 1st Birthday cards. Well, I struggled big time trying to find some images! Then I came across a couple of images by C.C Designs over at All That Scraps. Perfect! Also perfect was that the Anyone for Anya? challenge this week is a sketch. 

So, here is my card....

Full Card

 The image itself is called "Lolli Beatrice"

She has been coloured with promarkers and layered up.

Off to tidy up

If I was a digi image....

... this is what I'd look like! ha ha... Claret glasses, short brown hair with red & blonde highlights/lowlights, not sure I'm that skinny mind and the colours of the Bhoys in Green! Oh, I'd have to swap the wine glass for a pint glass too ;) 

Full Card

I didn't actually think the green & burgandy woiuld go but it does... I think....

Absolutely love these shaped cards purely because they are not square! Something a bit different. They are known as "snowflake" cards.

Close up

 I'm entering this card into 2 challenges:

1.Simon Says Stamp - A Bit O'Green 

2. I ♥ ProMarkers - Anything But Square

These are fairies are calling to be made... 

Just because....

... you're my Mom! 

Well, can say I'm pretty much chuffed with this. Took long enough to do with cutting all the laters out! 

The image itself is actually 3 different digi images from Tiddly Inks made into 1. It's for 

Mother's Day from a daughter. The daughter also has a little dog and I've tried to colour him the same as their dog. His a little rogue! So holding a balloon is very fitting. The images are also layered. Yes it took a looooooong time but I'm please with the outcome. 

Enough rambling.....

Full Card

I am entering this into numerous challenges, so please bare with me!

Floral Mother's Day

Good Morning! 

Lot's of floral's this morning.. and ANOTHER Mother's Day card. This card was previously showcased in an earlier blog post but it was not part of the challenge. So I'm going to use it for two challenges.

I still have 2 more Mother's Day orders plus my own to do off my bro and me. Never had to do so many! 

Onto the card.. 

Full Card

I very nearly gave my butterfly punch to my mate.... sooooooooo glad I didn't! Think it adds that finishing touch? And the flowers, well... I found twisting the wires together to keep the flowers in place worked brilliantly. Attatching it was quite tricky tho! But, about time I used up some flowers & pearls out the flower box (It's still full by the way!) 

The challenges I am entering into are:

1. Creative Craft - Mother's Day

2. Oldie But A Goodie - Feeling Floral

A few more pictures of the card.

The colour looks better in the last picture. Always the way! No doubt I will be back later with another post.
