Strawberries and cream

My next card was made for the challenge over at Secret Crafter, only I missed the closing date!!

Still I am posting it on here to show that I have been busy.

The image was a free download and I can't remember where from. Can anyone help me and tell me how to remember where my images come from please?

The strawberry backing paper was from a free booklet in a craft magazine last year and the gingham was also from a different free book.

I've punched the flower and added gems in all corners.

Thanks for looking.

Christmas Wreath

I can't belive that it is a fortnight since I last posted any cards.

I thought I would have a change and make a christmas card and thought I would use the challenge

over at Die cut dreams christmas club.

It looks ok but I feel there is something missing on it and can't quite think what!!!

The stamp was given to me a few years ago now and I've embossed it with green powder then mounted it onto green mirri card.

I've put some backing paper from Sue Smith onto the card and finished off with a poinsetta and a greeting.

Joyful

Is it just me who has a box of little bits "just in case"? Well for this card I have used just the said pieces and stamped a Ruby Fairies image.

The layout I have used was from Digi Stamp Boutique and the colours are from Colour Create

I have stamped the image then coloured it with pro markers and sacura glitter pen on the wings.

I've then distressed the edges and this was a first for me then mounted it onto different card and papers.

To finish I have used 3 flowers the pink one having a fluffy middle and used pearly doddles in the corners.

Thank-you for looking.

Wedding cards

I was asked how much notice did I need to make a card and when I asked what for it was 2 wedding cards. So I said yes I'll do them then the next day asked when for..............Saturday!  Well I managed to do them.

This first one is a topper and backing paper from a Rob Adams cd.

I have used gold mirri card to mount the topper and strip onto then finished off with 2 Arrum lillies that I have added glitter to.

The second is a Forever Friends Decoupage from a cd. I have embossed some white pearl paper and trimmed it with a Martha Stewart punch. I have used a strip of ribbon from my stash, mounted the topper onto mirri card then mounted all onto more mirri card.

To finish off I have glittered the topper added a flower and jewels and a sentiment.

Doggie Birthday

Here is a birthday card for a male colleague who likes dogs.

The image is one of Karen's Doodles coloured in with pro-markers

The back-ground has been printed from a Chris Warner cd so I might just put it in for the cd challenge.

The rest of the papers were in my oddments box waiting to be used up and the buttons I found in a tub in the bottom of my cupboard along with the string.

I just finished it off with peel-off's which I've not used for a while. I've been useing glitter glue instead.

The lay-out is from Sugar Bowl.

Thank-you for looking.

Grand-daughter

As I said in my other thread I am a great Auntie to a girl at last, and this is the card I made for my sister and brother in law. After 5 boys there is now a girl.

The yellow is linen look card then I mounted a plaid paper first followed by a pink which I embossed with dots. I then found the flower paper in my bit box so punched one side and stuck a row of teddies along the bottom. The image is from a mini decoupage booklet and I mounted it onto a Nellie Snellen die that I bought in Holland from her shop.I finished off with glitter glue and put gems in the flower centres and larger ones in the corners then finally added a little bow.
Thanks for looking.

Back to Normal

Well I'm back from my travels now and getting back into some kind of routine.  Had a great time in Holland and then met my new Great Niece back home.

I did make a couple of cards in between but didn't get round to posting them so here is the first one. I was asked to make a card with " Heighland Coos" and for all you non-scots that is Highland Cows!LOL

I went across to the west side of Scotland to visit a friend and managed to take some photos of the cows when we went for a drive out. The result was this card. What a bonny face these cows have and just stood there for me to take the pictures.

Hope you like them.
