Blue Bride

I decided to make another wedding card, having doubts about the colour. lol. this one is in the blue paper from the DCWV paper stack, the photo hasn't turned out very well at all, I have actually distressed some of the edges slightly and sanded the embossing but its not showing up very well, roll on the lighter nights. I'm entering this card for The Sugar Bowl challenge that gave us an awsome sketch to work with, the please include option is distressing.
Take care I,m off to tackle bathing the dogs.

Pam





Hi there, I'm mega organised this year, trying to get all my birthday cards done before the day before this year, I have six in Jan and I'm on number four so I'm quite pleased with myself.

This one is for my friend Pam she has one of these dogs but hers is a girl so I've tarted it up a bit. Her granddaughters will love it.

I've used another of Mo's digital pencil designs that I got for Christmas and coloured it with my copics, I'm entering it for Create 4 Fun and used their gorgeous sketch on its side, also Pile it on that wanted us to use a digi stamp and Stamp Something that wanted us to use something new.

Hiya, well I thought we had seen the back of the snow but we had a couple of inches this morning when I finally got out of bed and its 7.30 now and still here, when I walked my dogs it was like a skating rink. Still it was warm and cosy in my bats cave and I managed another card this time for a lovely young lady who will be 17 and itching to get driving, she already has a car a little white fiesta her parents brought of my sister, I'm going to get her a sticker I've seen on quite a few girly cars, its pink and says Powered by Fairy Dust at least it may stop her brother using it,
This card is for the Allsorts challenge they gave us a gorgeous sketch and asked us to use something new or old stash , well this is another digi stamp from Mo Mannings digital pencil that I got for Chritmas. It also goes in to Pile it on challenge that wanted digital stamps. Think I might pop back upstairs and finish a card I started earlier for a friend.
Take care

Hi all, I hope everyone had a great Christmas and is looking forward to the New Year, I decided to make a few calendars instead of New Year cards, that way they last a bit longer.
This one is for the Sketch and Stash challenge who provided us with a lovely sketch, I've changed it a tad and taken the two flowers of the sides, didn't think this card needed anything else.
My gorgeous son and DIL brought me Dexter for Christmas, I've wanted some Motivet stamps for ages they also got me Shy Hilda she's facing the ink tomorrow for another calendar.
Hope to be back tomorrow.

Hi, this card is for two challenges, I used the sketch from Truly Scrumptious and they also wanted you to use vellum so I tore a strip for the sentiment to go on. My Time to craft asked for Christmas Foliage so even though holly berries are not pink in real life I thought they would still count.
Ive used a Lili of the valley stamp that I coloured with copics and loads of glitter, My minds eye papers, nesties, a coupe of white brads that i coloured with copics then glittered.
Take care.
