Hanglar Stanglar feeling under the weather

hello friends. hope you are all well and enjoyed hopefully some sunshine on the Bank Holiday weekend.
Here is today's card. This is a Hanglar Stanglar image - not sure of the name as they were sent to me by a fellow crafter. Sorry I can't remember who it was! apologies if it was you.

 

I have coloured her with my trusty copic pens and found some paper again from my stash. This is a stash card! LOL - I am finding loads of stash I had totally forgotten about.

I found these gems on the wire ages ago and put them down - then as usual couldn't find them again. Does that happen to you too? I bet it does. anyway I am not sure if you can see it too - but I saw rain drops when I looked at them and thought they would be ideal for this card.

Here is a close up of the image. 

Here is a close up of the wording (Papyrus font) and again ribbon from my stash - the corners were done using a Whimsy Die from The Stamp Basket  and my cuttlebug.

Thanks for dropping by today. I hope you like the card. Would appreciate your kind comments (good or bad!)

until next time

just for you (pink petticoat papers)

hello friends and followers
hope you are all well. thanks for sticking with me and giving me support in my card making ventures!
This one I created late on a Saturday night while tidying up my craft area and picked all 3 pieces of these papers in one go.
I thought they worked very well together and I am impressed with the result.

Here I have used the fabulous Pink Petticoat paper download from a while back called Just An Old Fashioned Girl.

I matted it onto lilac card stock and I found some fawn coloured card with a sheen and printed the wording direct onto the cardstock itself. 

  

I added a matching bow (hand tied!! ooh get me!) and thought the sheen looked very pretty. For an extra bit of sparkle I added some diamantes.

 

What do you think? Any comments would be much appreciated.

hugs to you all

Happy Birthday (gorjuss image)

hello friends
hope you are all well - its pretty chilly up here in Northumberland. Where did the sun go?

Here is today's card. This is a Gorjuss image - which is from a Gorjuss kit I received from my daughter for Mother's Day. She wanted to get me something for my card making and found this.

I haven't used their images before so was rather overwhelmed by all I got in the kit.
I thought best to stick to plain and simple to begin with - don't want to make a dogs dinner of such lovely papers and images.

So I printed the sentiment and details direct onto the card base itself using a font called Marita. 

Here is a close up of the image.

I found some matching card stock to make a matt and I thought it looked better.

I added some glamour dust to the butterflies.

Thanks for dropping by again today. I would love to read your comments and return the kindness by visiting your blog.

Thanks for bee-ing my friend. Friendship swap

hello friends and fellow cardmakers.
Hope you are all well. Today's card is my submission for the April Friendship swap on Docrafts. I chose a Tilda image for this month's card.
Here I have coloured her with copics and added a touch of glitter to the antenna of her costume.

The background paper was from my stash and the corners are from a die cut. I added a gem to the corners for extra sparkle. 

 Here is a little close up of her costume.

 Here is a close up of the sentiment

I used an X-cut punch to make the daisies and a Martha Stewart punch for the leaves.

Here is a close up of the colouring in 

thanks for dropping by today and I hope you like the card.
hugs to you all for following me and sticking with me.

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
