Sugar nellie Daisy card

This is one of my most favourite stamps "Sugar Nellie Daisy" I just love her so much.

This is an Easel card that i made for my Best friend Annie's Birthday back in April.

Colored with Promarkers and Prismacolor Pencils.

Pickin Apples

I was thrilled to have won this cutie stamp off eBay, i had wanted her for ages.

Now i have coloured her in, i am not sure what to do with her.

I am getting a bit bored with the usual 6x6 cards and toppers, so i am thinking about different ways to use the images.

This image was coloured using my Promarkers and Prismacolor pencils.

I just love Lilac and Blue, they have to be my fave colours.

Once i have decided what to do with her, i will add another post....keep checking in.

have a good day!

Here Kitty Kitty

Just another little card i wanted to share with you.

I just simply love the Elisabeth Bell characters, they all have such a sweet and carefree look about them.

and these new papers from Bearly mine are just simply beautiful.

This is a card for a friend of mine, she has a cat which she adores, so i thought this would be perfect for her.

Reef at the Dartford and District Horse show

Now there is something crafty about these Pictures...Some beautiful deep green Organza Ribbon in Reef's Tail.

As some of you may know, i am passionate about animals, and i thought i would share a little of my passion with you.

This handsome beast is one of our babies.

He is called Reef and is a young Fresian Colt (Stallion) aged almost 2 years.

He is being put through his paces at the Dartford and District Horse show on May 1st 2011(Yesterday) by my youngest Daughter Mari.

The Green Ribbon in his tail lets people know he is a young inexperienced horse and therefore could be a bit silly and excitable.

Can you imagine how big he is going to be when he is fully grown?

Just look at that ground covering, full of Buttercups, a picture in itself.

Big Present

I find it difficult to make cards for boys, but with this lovely stamp from Lili of the Valley it was simple.

It was Luke's Birthday, and i knew i had to make something befitting for him.

I used my Promarkers and Prismacolor pencils for this one, the shading was done with my pencils.

Who said Boys cards can't be cute?

In the Garden

I hope you enjoy this card as much i enjoyed making it.

I just love Sarah Kay stamps, this one is called "Elodie in her garden" she is just a dream to colour.

I used my Promarkers and Prismacolor pencils and of course one of my Doilies.

She just makes me feel so sunny and warm.

Sunset

Here is a little something I made earlier.

It doesn't always have to be about cards!

One of my favourite crafty things is Altered Art.

I did this on an A4 Canvas using my Tim Holtz distress inks and stamps.

I love to work with Canvas and this made a change from cards.

It is also a lovely gift to give someone (I kept this one myself)

I hope you like it.

Exploding Box

This turned out to be better than expected, instead of using the usual 12 x 12 card stock i decided to economise and use everyday A4. pink and white card.

open the box and inside you will see I have added 3 layers

The center piece was built up from a card tube and flowers added

I added die cut flowers, hearts, butterflies, dragonflies, and sentiments to each square.
If you would like the measurements please email me.
Happy Easter everone.
Hugs
Helena
