BEAUTIFUL in PURPLE

I just love this sentiment stamp and use it whenever i can.The font is just so flowy.

I have used a frame from WOC and coloured it with distress inks.

the flowers are from WOC the lace i got from Wightcat craft shop

I really enjoyed making this one.

Flapper girl

Well i don't usually use images from card kits, but this gorgous 1920's flapper girl from Kanban just screamed "me me me "

I think it came in a kit i purchased some years ago, and put in a drawer.

Iv'e been having a clear out of stuff i never use (Which goes to my friends after school club for the kids) so it is put to good use and the kids love it.

anyways here is my flapper girl card.

The black flowers have been sprayed with my Copic ABS (Air brush system) which i think you all know by now I love to bits.

The foiled backing card is just lush...I added some swarovski crystals to her earing and head dress.

The flowers are from WOC (Wild Orchid Crafts) and the silver leafs are from eBay.

Dark Horse

I am so pleased that so many people like my lovely Whimsy Unicorn  which by the way is called "Enchanted Hollow" from Dies to die for I love their website and fab service. 

so after i made the first Unicorn card and sold it, i was asked to make 2 more, but one with a more dark and mysterious look.

so here is my attempt at this.

The unicorn still had to be magical and beautiful.

I added some little tiny diamontes to the mane and tail just to make it stand out a little more against the deep florals.

The butterflies are metal ones that i coloured with my copic Air spray system (I Just love it) 

I also matched the background again using my air spray.

I hope you like it.

VINTAGE SHABBY CHIC TIME PIECE

I was getting a bit bored with the pastel pretty cards and decided to do something a little more Vintage and shabby and deep.

I love using the book pages as a backing, it adds a bit of drama.

I used this wonderful clock from WOC as it was perfect for the look i wanted and mounted it onto some cork.

sometimes you have to just do something different.....

the inside compliments the front.

New whimsy stamp

Hi everyone.

I have been really busy getting aquainted with my new Copic pens and my new ABS

Oh boy!  are they different to my Promarkers.

I have watched so many tutorials on blending and what numbers go with what and how to get the best out of my ABS...I forgot why i bought them and to enjoy them.

anyway finally i had the courage to make a card with them.....

Now i know its not perfect, but for my first try i'm quite pleased.

I've also been messing with different types of cardstock to see which one i like best. so i think I will post a little comparison later on.

so here goes......

 I had some bleeding on the back of her dress, but nomatter how hard i tried to blend it out, it wasn't having any of it....the joy of hand made i guess.......

 I hope you like....

Watch the Birdie

This card was so much fun to make.

It took ages to do the tiny flowers, but i think it worked out just fine.

Using a square Doily. gupier lace and that wonderful twinklets on the bird which makes it look like it's frosted.

Lemons

I love this card, it's so light and fresh and suitable for any age group.

crammed with lovely florals and lace.

Flowers and sentiments

Hi Folks...

Today i decided to make a card using only sentiments and flowers.

I'm waiting for my new Copic pens to arrive so i can have a good play and colour some of my delish stamps.

I think sometimes you can get away with not having a character as the main focus.

hope you like it.

                                         Flowers are from WOC and ebay Dinkybutnice2

                                       The sentiment is  CG that i did in word on parchment

New baby bottle cards

Today i did something quite different, i made these darling little New baby Bottle cards.

the cards were made using my SVG program and a lot of help from my Son Josh who is a PC wizzard.

I used 300gsm cream card for the base card and some papers from various paper packs.

Die cut the ovals and decorated with florals and lace.

The sentiment is CG

They measure 7.25" tall and 3.75" wide.

I made the boxes to match.

these are for sale in my webstore.

 AS USUAL I ADDED THE GLITTER ROUND THE EDGES

  I made the inside to match the outside

 The butterfly is a Marianne design

 The lace and flowers are from WOC

 The inside has been left blank

christening card lotv

Here is another LOTV card.

This is a pretty image from LOTV.

my only criticism is that the image is very pale.

I really should have touched it up with my Prismacolor pencils before i made it up.

anyway i have used some papers from the Kanban Birth and celebrations kit, and shimmering cream hammered card.
The card is 5.75" square.

This card is for sale on my website

 The flowers are from WOC and blinged up with some irridescent paint.

all the edges of the card have been glittered

 The sentiment is a computer generated one.

A peek at the inside, left blank but matching the front.

HAVE FUN

Here is yet another LOTV card i have made.

This time it's for a boy.

I used papers from a stash i had, gingham ribbon,  

and the lovely LOTV image that i had ages ago.

I used shimmering brown card for my layering, it just added a little bling. 

This card is for sale in my Webstore

The bunting is the Tattered lace alphabet bunting the stars are gold brads,

A great addition to your card stash.

 A peek at the inside which i always decorate to match the front.
