Wedding Day card

hello finally!!
crikey what a week. don't seem to be able to comprehend that the weeks are going by so quick that I am totally neglecting my friends and followers on my blog.
what a naughty blogger am I!!

anyway here is todays card which technically should have been posted before now but not as the card is for a bride and groom's wedding which is tomorrow.
Here is the card. This was a special order requested for something different to my normal landscape wedding cards.

So for this request I have used an 8" card base. I printed out a Pink Petticoat background called Sweet Flourishes in silver and lowered the transparency and then printed the names and greeting over the top again in silver. This was then matted onto silver mirri board.

The image was a freebie download from here - I simply printed it out onto the same card base and added glitter for some sparkle.

The fancy die cut square was another kind donation from my good friend Chris on Docrafts - she always manages to save the day with her die cuts!! I added tiny diamante gems for extra sparkle and also a ribbon with silver and lace in it.

 the wording is a font called Sloop printed in silver. I again added diamantes to the corners. 

thanks for dropping by and I will have another card to share with you all tomorrow

hugs to you all for being so patient with me

Happy 40th Birthday (commission)

hello friends. 
wow - its been a while since I posted anything. So apologies for that. 
Its not that I haven't made any cards just they all at the moment are wedding day cards and are all the same style - the landscape ones.
Anyway here is today's card and this is another request but this time for a tatty teddy image.  Here I have used a blue checky backing paper from my digi paper stash and printed the sentiment direct onto the paper using the a similar font to the tatty teddy font.

I printed the teddy image twice and decoupaged the heart just to lift it slightly. I added glossy accents to the heart and mounted it onto a tatty teddy backing paper.

I printed another of the circular date sentiments and changed it to black to show month, birthday and this year. 

 here is another close up of the bear

the recipient's real name is Blue but he also gets called Johny so that's why the 2 names are on the front.

thanks for dropping by and I would appreciate any feedback from my fellow crafters and friends

hugs to you all

Happy 50th Birthday

hello friends.
wow - where has the week gone. it doesn't seem like 5 minutes ago I was posting my last card which was Saturday! And to cap it all off its September tomorrow! The year is flying past us so quick.

Here is today's card.
This is a commission card for a 50th birthday for a lady who loves fairies. Now I told not to use a  sexy fairy and I went through all my images and stamps and decided this one from Lili of the Valley was perfect. She is called Fairies - Bouquet - she was one of 20 images that were in a magazine freebie several months ago. In fact LOTV have allowed 2 sets to be available with the magazine which I think was Papercraft Inspirations. I find the LOTV images very versatile and easy to colour in.

Here as always I have coloured her with my copic pens and added glamour dust and glossy accents to her wings.

 The die cut flower and the swirl were a kind donation from Chris of ChrisAndCat on Docrafts. The date sentiment was from Kerry aka Pickle on Docrafts. The backing paper was from my digi stash which I printed onto pearlescent paper. Butterfly was from an Xcut punch also printed onto pearlescent paper but coloured with chalks. Gems, dragonfly and flower centre from stash. 

here is the date sentiment  

 I changed the date number to purple to match everything else. The month and year match the sentiment using Francine Hmk font

The flower die was from ChrisandCat - I used a purple brad for effect and a dragonfly from stash.

here is a close up of the fairy herself

thanks for dropping by and I would love to read your comments.

hugs to you all

Happy Birthday (forever friends commission)

hello everyone.
hope the last bank holiday weekend of the year has you doing what ever takes your fancy!!

here is today's card. This is another commission card - here I chose a Forever Friends bear from a freebie CD that came with a magazine a few weeks ago. 
 


I printed out the bear twice and slightly decoupaged the present, the cupcake and the bear's front paw. Not sure if you can see it clearly enough.

 The backing paper was also from a Forever Friends CD but this time the Triple CD. I printed it out with a lower transparency and then added pink chalk to the edges to soften it.  I added gemstones to random flowers for sparkle.

The date sentiment was from Kerry (Pickle) and here I changed the date number to pink to make it stand out from the other numbers and added the month and this years date in a Baahmk font also in pink.

thanks for dropping by today and I would appreciate any comments good or bad or any suggestions.

love and hugs until next time

Happy 25th Birthday

hello friends
thanks for dropping by again I truly appreciate all your visits and comments. 
Today's card is another commission card but I didn't have a lot of notice to make it! So I used a trusty  image from the fabulous Lili of the Valley set that was a freebie with a magazine. This one is called Teddy Bouquet. I love him as he is so versatile -I coloured him with my copics and added glossy accents to the flowers and gems for some of the centres.

I have printed a background directly onto the base card with a paler transparency and printed the sentiment using Greeting Card Factory programme in a Liorah font.

I added Charlotte's name in the tag of the bouquet using a Baahmk font but very small - I thought it looked cute! 

Here is  close up of the bear.

Excuse the colours - the camera flash made the colours look different to the actual colouring in!! 

 

thanks for dropping by and as always all comments are read, appreciated and replied to with a comment on your blog too!!

hugs until next time

Happy 21st Birthday

hello friends.
wow - this seems to be getting a habit with me - posting on a Tuesday!! 
I do hope you are all well.
here is my card for Kim who is Karen Redrottie's daughter- Redrottie is a fellow member from Docrafts and a fab blogger too.

Here I have used a Tickled Pink Fairy called Kira. I have coloured her with Copics. I matted her onto redcardstock. The paper is from my digi stash and I changed the colour from dark pink to red.

The date stamp in the corner was made by the very talented Kerry aka Pickle also on Docrafts and also a fab blogger.
I altered the date to red to show the date of Kim's birthday rather than circling it with a pen. 

the swirls were from Chris of ChrisAndCat and I added gems from my stash for lots of sparkle.

 here is a close up of Kira.

I added lots of glue and glamour dust to make her wings sparkle! and tiny gems in the flowers in her hair.

I do hope Kim likes it. 
thanks for dropping by today and I appreciate your comments

until next time
hugs to you all

Wedding Day (commission)

hello friends and fellow card makers!
hope you are all well and not too hot on what is supposed to be the hottest day of the year!! My theory is just wait and see! We had all kinds of weather yesterday - I think we had everything but snow!!

Anyway here is today's card. Another landscape style and another requested card. My apologies if these are boring you - but at the moment this is the most requested style for wedding day and anniversary cards.



Here I have used white and silver as my theme. I sadly ran out of silver mirri card so instead I edged the card section with all the details on with silver ink. I also did the same to the flowers, leaves and butterfly.

I think the slight edging of silver ink sets it off against the stark white background.

I added sparkly gems for a bit of bling! And I think it sets if off too.

as always I appreciate any comments or feedback from you.

Am off now to check out all your fabulous blogs too

until next time
hugs
