I have made this little 6x6 square card to cheer up another friend who is going to have a breast cancer operation (her second)tomorrow. She's had all the chemo and thankfully all that's left is to remove the offending bit and the see how she goes from there, fingers definitely crossed for her. I thought as I love colouring with promarkers I'd try another challenge card. The theme is to keep it simple. I've used another LOTV stamp mounted on octagonal scalloped nesties. I inked around the image while it was still in the die with tattered rose distress ink. I covered the card with lemon card embossed with a papermania hearts folder and added a white mat scored with my scorepal. The flowers are punched and pearls and stickles finish it off.

I thought it was about time I entered a challenge this new year and this looked like a super sketch to use. I had a birthday card to make for a friend and I just love this LOTV fairy stamp but instead of the usual girly pinks I thought I'd use browns and gold for a change.

I really loved using this sketch, thanks Lena.
My daughter asked me yesterday 30mins before she was going out if I could make a card for her friend's 21st Birthday! I threw this one together so it's all a bit squiffy and the image colouring isn't all that neat! No time for glitter or silicon glue so... no flowers :( I don't even know yet if she liked it!!
Free bp from My Minds Eye
Left over ribbon
Nellie Snellen oval die
Craftwork Cards sentiments - I love these long ones.
I can't remember where I sent this one - if it was yours I hope you liked it!! I bought this stamp at the NEC - isn't she cute! I coloured it with Promarkers and cut her out with my oval Nestabilities. The bp is by Papermania and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The ribbon came from Crafty Ribbons - they have a great assortment and the sentiment is from Craftwork Cards. Happy New Year
Long time No See!
I have finally got around to sorting out my photos on the camera and thought it was about time I showed you all the cards I made for Christmas this year - I made about 50 in all so here are the main ones. Hope you like them. It will take too long to explain how they were all made but if you have a question about any of them add it to a comment and I'll see if I can remember how I did it!!
Enjoy
This is the little card I made for a friend who has got engaged to be married. I used Promarkers to colour the LOTV stamp and Basic Grey backing paper. My QVC flower punches were used for the flowers. I've noticed that Docrafts have brought out individual little flower punches which are exactly the same as mine if you like them.
A birthday card for a friend which I thought I'd enter into the LOTV Blog Challenge. The teddy with bouquet image is coloured with Promarkers and highlighted with Stickles and Glossy Accents. It's mounted on a Labels 9 nestie which I cut round with scissors to make the brown mat layer as the image is on the largest die. The backing paper is from a set by Joanna Sheen (lovely designs by William Morris). I used the little flower and leaf punches from QVC with Stickles glitter glue and a sentiment stamped from a set by Personal Impressions. The ribbon with Autumn leaves is from American Crafts.
I've used this sketch to make a card for a friend's birthday. I'd like to enter it for the LOTV blog challenge this week. It was a great sketch as it meant I could use loads of lovely papers. The image is 'Tea Party' coloured with Promarkers and edged with Tattered Rose distress ink. I used three different papers from a Basic Grey 6x6 pad - Euphoria. The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and the flower from Prima. A dovecraft jewel brad and pearls finish it off.
Two of my husband's colleagues were/are expecting babies and the first, a little boy, has arrived so I made this A4 card from his department. The image is from Lili of the Valley coloured with Promarkers and 'stickled'! It's mounted on my round Nesties. Sweet Baby is an embossing folder from Sizzix which I highlighted with blue shimmer chalk, gems, pearls and diamond stickles. A Craftwork Cards sentiment is mounted on a Nellie Snellen oval and gingham ribbon. The flowers are Cherry Blossoms from Wild Orchid Crafts and the leaves from Martha Stewart.
Just made this card quick as a thank you to my friends at work for the beautiful bouquet of flowers I received when I was off the last two weeks.
The image is a Lili of the Valley stamp called 'Teddy Bouquet' which I thought was quite apt. It's coloured with Promarkers and I added gems and glitter. The mounts are cut on the Cricut as is the greeting (from Walk in my Garden) The bp is from Papermania - Blueberry . I added flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and pearls from Craft Obsessions. I'm going to enter it in the LOTV
