Happy Birthday (saturated canary image)

hello friends
I have another card to share with you today. Hope you like it!
This was a commission card with a girly theme.
 I printed the background papers onto iridescent paper and matted these onto the 8" card base.

Here I have used a Saturated Canary image that was a kind freebie from the talented Krista. I have coloured her with copics and cut around the image.

 I used a flower die cut that was very kindly sent to me by Chris of ChrisAndCat fame. I cut flowers from my X-cut punch and smaller ones with glossy accents added to the middle. 

Here is a close up of the corner die cut in glitter card.

Hope you like this - any comments are more than welcome. 

hugs to you all

Happy 30th Birthday

hello friends
well I know its been a few weeks since I posted anything - I caught that awful flu bug that was doing its rounds and I still have it and still feel very low and lethargic.
But card orders need to be met and here is a card I made for a request. This is an 8" card.

I have used my trusty Digistamp Boutique Coco the bear image - he is so versatile and I love his cheeky face.
I have coloured him in with copics and doubled up the image to make the flowers appear slightly decoupaged.

I printed the wording direct onto the backing paper which is a digi download from ages ago called Softly Shabby - but printed it in a lower transparency and the wording is direct from the PC.

The date sentiment circle was a kind donation from Kerry of A Load of Old Pickle.  I just changed the date to stand out and the flourish die behind it was another kind donation from Cedric on Docrafts.

I had never used this type of flourish before so I hope I did it justice!
The swirl on the other side of the card was a kind donation from the fabulous Chris of ChrisAndCat fame. I cut it down to fit in with the size of the image. Butterfly is from my stash along with the gems.

thanks for dropping by today and I hope you come back again soon.

hugs always

Skull and love heart card

hello everyone.
hope you all had a fab Easter and didn't eat too much chocolate!
I have finally remembered to upload a card! Hurrah.
Here I have used some Kanban toppers which were perfect for me. I know I could have used some of our own artwork but these were just ideal.

Here I simply matted the toppers onto black cardstock and placed onto a 6" square Papermill white linen card which I cut down myself from an A4 sheet.

 
Here is a close up of the main topper.

I like these.  they are pretty similar to the artwork we use in the tattoo studio. 

I like the skulls in the background!

 
I simply added some black gems for effect. didn't want to add a sentiment as I think it would detract from the images.

thanks for dropping by - see you all very soon I hope

Docrafts March Friendship swap

hello fellow crafters and bloggers.
wow another week or so has flown past and as usual I'm the worst blogger in the world!! LOL
hope you are all well, safe and warm. Its pretty chilly up here in the North East. We don't have any snow so we have been quite lucky compared to some.

Here is today's card. this is for the Docrafts March Friendship swap - I was partnered with Jackie best known on DC as mp3mills  This is the card I sent to Jackie. 
Here I have used one of my trusty LOTV images - Teddy Flower - this bear is so versatile.  As always he is coloured with copics and I used some of my digital paper stash for the matt and backing paper.

I used a touch of glossy accents to the purple bubbles for effect and added some glamour dust to the centre of the flower. I cut 3 flowers from an Xcut punch and added a stem die cut which was kindly sent to me. I added diamantes to the ends of the stem and to the centre of the flowers. 

 Here is a close up of the the stem. 

Thanks for dropping by today and I will see you all again very soon. As always any comments are appreciated
hugs until next time

Happy 55th Wedding Anniversary

hello friends
I have another card to share with you all today.
This one is for a 55th Wedding Anniversary.
I have used a photo copy of the couple's original wedding day photo.
I simply matted onto white cardstock then onto blackcardstock. I didn't want to detract from the stunning photo.

     The wording was printed direct onto the card base itself using a font called Beautiful.

Simple yet elegant I feel. what do you lot think?

hugs

Wedding Card 2

hello friends
well as promised here is Wedding Card number 2.
Again its for the same couple as yesterday but obviously a different style.  Here I have used the very popular and very requested landscape style card.

I have printed the wording onto a section of Papermill Linen Cardstock in white using a font called Beautiful but printed in grey rather than black which I felt was too stark against the very white linen card.
I then added a ribbon from my stash and mounted all of this onto silver mirri board and then stuck this onto the linen card base.

The flowers in the corner are from an Xcut punch with added diamantes for sparkle and leaves from a Martha Stewart punch and I added tiny diamantes in between the petals of the flowers.

The butterfly is another punch and I added a teardrop shape for the body of the butterfly and diamantes coming from the bottom of the butterfly.

 
Then I added more diamantes to the corners for extra sparkle.

The insert was printed onto wedding insert paper again using the same font in the same shade.

 Here is the bottom half of the insert
 

Thanks for the comments on my other card. Would like your feedback on this one today

hugs until next time

Wedding Card 1

hello friends.
well I have another card to share with you all today - this time its a Wedding Day card for a couple who are getting married this Saturday.
The request was pale lemon and sparkle!!


I have used a digi image of a couple which was a freebie a while back with a magazine. I have printed it out onto card stock and added glitter for sparkle.  

The background paper is from Pink Petticoat called Elegance printed in Buttermilk. I added the wording direct over the printed paper using a font called Vivaldi. I then matted this onto pale lemon card stock. 

 I used more card stock and added a middle section with love hearts and then matted this onto more lemon card stock and added a scalloped border. 

I glued tiny diamantes into each hole made by the scalloped border punch for extra sparkle!! 

The insert was done on irridescent paper but it doesn't show up very well on camera. Again I used the Pink Petticoat papers and added sentiment direct over the top of the pattern.

 

here is the middle section again of the 8" card.

 

 
 thanks for stopping by again today. would appreciate any feedback from my fellow crafters!!

hugs until next time
