grandad card

Morning, Its a bit chilly here in the North East this week. So hopefully will get a few challenges and a bit of crafting done while weather is cold. Nothing better than keeping toastie and a constant supply of coffee, when its bitter cold outside.

Today's card is a commission, a friend of a friend requested a card for her grandad who's 80 years young, apparently loves gardening and especially his rose garden. So after a bit of a search for a digi stamp, as did have anything suitable I can across this image from Mo's digital pencil shop. I coloured it with Promarkers, the papers come from "October afternoon", added kraft, roses, seam binding, lots of stitching, mini alphas and some thicker numbers........its a bit chunky so it has to go in a box. 

Hope she likes it........I'm quite pleased with it.

Valentines

Heres a valentine's card, featuring this gorgeous Wryn image, find her and few more images at Tiddy Inks  and a great Challenge blog HERE. I'm loving this images at the moment.

 Have a lovely weekend all. 

Found It......by Chance

WHOOP WHOOP!!! I've eventually found my camera, guess where it was?................would you believe it was buried in my scraps box, which was put away nicely under the bed, until I needed some orangish paper tonight.

So now I can upload my card for the ribbon girl challenge "pink and blue" and the sketch from CPS  . I've used a Saturated Canary image, lots of stitching, roses, pearls and seam binding. Was a bit chunky to scan so glad I found my camera, although cable did go missing briefly......well wasn't where I thought I'd left it.

thanks for looking, be back soon with some Valentines cards.......promise

I have been kind of busy lately ptting together a few Valentines cards, will share them later in week.......yikes It's Thursday already. Today's card features "rainy day" from Saturated Canary....find it here. I cant stop colouring these images and been tempted to buy more....tut tut. Thought I would enter this in the Saturated Canary Challenge, as I've used punched out butterflies from a Martha Stewart punch. Also a piece of gingham paper, a dollie from Sarahs Cards, and some seam binding from Wild Orchid Crafts. 

I seem to have misplaced my camera, had place upside down looking for it, so had to scan my image.

Morning All, I so have the January blues, in need of a holiday or just short break soon. At least the sun in shining today, so off out with hound to get a dose of vitamin D.

Todays card is for the challenge in the Tiddy Ink challenge blog to use colours, great combo

green, yellow, orange and blue

 I've used this gorgeous digi stamp, its soooo cute.  I am loving them at the moment and a few cards to come with theses images. The papers are from a pile of 6 x 6 sheets in my stash think they mabe Basic Grey, but very old ones, added a bit string and a some mesh.

more saturated canary

Evening All. 

Today I have a been playing with more Saturated Canary digi stamps....find them here.I'm loving these images, thought I would struggle to colour them but I'm enjoying the challenge

This card is for the challenge on the Saturated Canary Challenge blog 

Clean and Simple

I didnt added much to the image just some polka dot paper, sentiment stamp from Lili of the Valley and a bit string. 

Saturated Canary......Would be rude not too

While catching up on my blog hopping, I found a few peeps had been using these fab images from Saturated Canary these are design by Krista Smith and can be found on her Esty site HERE. Also there is a blog challenge site to go along with images. So this weekend I purchased my first image.....after I printed out image I was  bit scared of colouring it as other peeps had done a fab job. I'm quite pleased with my 1st result although I think the hair needs a bit practice. I also checked out the challenge blog......and found a design team call, so thought why not so entering this card.

Ive used an image from Saturated Canary, papers from "echo park and crate", pink gems, seam binding and bit stickles to add sparkle. Image coloured with Promarkers.

I'm struggling a bit at the moment to get back into the creating mood............so the sketch from CPS popped up on Facebook and I thought I would give it a go.

I used more papers from Crate, trying to use up old papers.......I've got a stack of these, also used a digital image from the digi stamp boutique "isabella" she was a bargain at 99p, I printed her twice, once on patterned paper and pieced together her dress, flower and butterfly, coloured the rest with promarkers. Added stitching, some seam binding and a few pink gem stones.The sentiment stamp is from "lili of the valley"

Heres my first card of the year. Sketch has come from Lucy's blog, HERE.......I simply adore her clean and simple approach to card making, she is sharing a sketch daily. I'm going to try and do each sketch using the same papers from Crate. Heres the first one, added some stitching, seam binding, die cut from paper range and a journalling stamp from "stamps away" which has been stamp in versamark and embossed in white.
