Mother's Day Card 1

hello friends
wow - Friday again. I've had my head down most of the week making Mother's Day cards!! Its Friday and I still have another 10 to go!!
So here is the first of many Mother's Day card orders - this one specifically asked for Mum on it.

Here I have used a LOTV image, coloured with copics. I added glamour dust and tiny diamnates to the bouquet in the bear's hand.

The background was printed direct onto the linen base cardstock along with the wording. I added pink diamantes to some of the white flower centres just for extra sparkle.

 The glitter doesn't look very neat in the close up! sorry about that!
It looks better in real life!

anyway I hope to upload another card soon.

thanks for dropping by as always and I appreciate any comments or suggestions whether good or bad

until tomorrow

Happy Birthday dear Niece

hello again
Hope you are enjoying what seems to be the start of Spring - hope its nice and sunny wherever you are.

Here is today's card - this is a commission card for a regular card buyer of mine.  This is for her niece. The lady normally just lets me do whatever so I have chosen the versatile Forever Friends bear from the triple CD which was out about 2 years ago now. 

I printed the background and the image itself from the CD directly onto the base of the linen cardstock and added the wording at the same time - using a font called KatTail. 

  

I added glossy accents to the gems on the bag and tiny diamantes to the handle and dots of glamour dust to the edges of her scarf.

Here is a close up  

hopefully you can see a bit better with this view!

Thanks for sticking with me and dropping by again today. Hope to see you all very soon with another new card.

hugs to you all

Caught a bug and a Happy Birthday card!

hello there
well its Friday again - where are the weeks going to and its 1st March too!!
Today I have included a card I forgot I had done and a quickie card just for fun.
The first is the quickie card using an image from Digistamp Boutique - I love this image. its so funny!!
I simply printed it out - coloured in the bugs and added glossy accents to the jar - matted this onto blue cardstock and hey presto - one quickie card.

Everyone I have shown it to thinks its really funny! Here is a quick close up of the image itself.

Next is a card that I totally forgot I had done. This one is a commission card for a young rugby fan. His strip was specified black and white. Here I have used a LOTV image called Rugby Mad. I coloured it in with my copics and matted onto black cardstock then silver mirri board.

 

The wording is printed direct onto the linen card base using a font called Waterbrush.I added the grass and some blue sky using chalks.

Here is a close up of the image

 

I think he looks like he is scoring a try!! I liked the subtly of the chalks for the background against the linen cardstock - it gave a good effect.

thanks for dropping by again today. I hope you like today's 2 cards and I hope to see you tomorrow with another one!!

hugs until next time

With Love

hello
wow - can't thank you enough for the comments on my previous cards - much appreciate your kind words.
If there was an award for worst blogger - I think I would win it!! I promise myself I will upload cards and I just never seem to find the time!!  Thanks for sticking with me and I hope you like what I have shown you all so far.

Here is a card I made and then realised its similar to Jules' card on her blog -so with kind permission of Jules I can show you what I did with the new papers from Pink Petticoat called Isabelline.

I have printed one of the papers out for a 6" square card front then matted onto black cardstock.

I added a strip of another of the papers and added the words "with love" using a font called Ambiance. I then matted this also onto black cardstock.

  

The pearls are from my stash and are a pale grey colour which I thought matched the grey of the papers very well.

Hope you like it!! 

thanks again for dropping by and I will see you all tomorrow with (fingers crossed!! LOL) another new card.

hugs to you all

Beer Monster

hello friends
hope you are all well and its sunny wherever you are in the world!!
Here is today's card. This is a digi image which I found ages ago coloured in and then left! tut tut naughty me - but I guess I am not the only one who does this!!

I found some funky digi paper within my digi stash and thought it matched the already coloured in image. I then matted everything onto black cardstock and the wording was done on the PC using a font called Janda Quirky.  

I added some glamour dust to the bubbles at the top of the pint glass which I also covered with some glossy accents to try and make it look a tad shiny. I also did the same to his eyes but its not showing up very well!!
here is a close up of the beer monster - he's rather cute!!

Hope you like today's card and I hope to see you all again tomorrow!!

hugs until then

Friendship card swap

hello friends and fellow crafters.
wow another week or so has again flown by but I do have a new card to show you!!
This is for the Docrafts monthly friendship swap which I always try to join in - for those who don't know you get paired with a different crafter in the list and just swap a card to say hello and show what you can make.
Here I have used a LOTV image called Maisie - I love her - she is so versatile and can be used for a variety of themes - I have coloured her in with my copic pens. 

 I used a digi paper from my stash, printed it out and matted it onto a 6" square linen card base. I matted the image and the word Friendship (which is printed in purple) onto purple cardstock. I added glamour dust to the butterfly in her hair and a large diamante to the centre of the flower.  

The corners are a Cuttlebug die from a die set called Vintage. I added a strip of linen cardstock with punched edges and then added a purple ribbon and diamantes to the holes.

 I hope you like it. It started off life as a pink themed card and ended up purple. How I ended up with a purple card is beyond me! LOL
But I do like it!

hugs until next time

Happy Valentines Day

hello friends.
where have the weeks gone? probably the same place my mojo went!! If you could have seen me - printing stuff out, colouring stuff in and then scrunching up the whole lot in temper and throwing it all away. Sound familiar? Honestly don't know what was wrong with me!! Creative block? I think I needed a pick axe and a Davy Lamp to break in to find it!!
anyway thanks to those of you who are still here. And to keep the mojo flowing - I have kind of cheated and done lots of plain and simple cards. Just till the mojo juices are finally flowing and not ebbing back and forth!!

Here is a Valentines card - this is heart shape with various texts within it. I simply printed it out onto a 6" square linen card and added glossy accent to the heart. Simple yet effective I think.

Excuse the slightly out of focus photo. but here is a close up of the heart below.

I like the colour - its different. The image is from Persnickety Papers and was a free download. 

Hope you like it and look forward to seeing you very soon!!

hugs to you all
