Summery Tilda

With the lovely weather we're having at the moment I decided to make a summery coloured card and used this cute Tilda image on it, coloured with Copics, the background stamp is a WOJ one. The papers are from a Brenda Pinnick scrapbook kit. I've just got some new coated card to use with my Copics and am just about to try it out for the first time, hopefully it will make blending the colours easier- or so I've heard! I'm loving using my Copics and will have to invest in some more pretty soon!

Thanks A Bunch

I've made a small thank you card from circle nesties, using a Penny Black image received in an image swap ages ago coloured with Copics. The papers are from a Brenda Pinnick scrapbook kit and the flowers are Primas, I think the sentiment is by Whiff Of Joy but I'm not 100% on that.

Thank you Emma and Jo for your help on my earlier problem, it just stopped it its self after about half hour of doing it so I still don't know what it was.

I'm off to Ascot Races on Friday for the day so keep your fingers crossed the weather stays good for me, I'm wearing a purple dress so hope I didn't look too much like Barney the Dinosaur or a Ribena Berry, I'll post some pics if I get any good ones!

Ribbon and lace

Funky Fairy's challenge #34 is to use ribbon and lace on your cards, well the ribbon was no problem as I usually always put ribbon on my cards, but after rummaging through my ribbons bag the only bit of lace I had was brown. Now I have nothing against brown when used in the right place but for the whole card to be based around this brown bit of lace I was quite uninspired. Anyway I decided to use it instead of buying more and set about trying to find something to make it less dull. I found this gorgeous paper in the Funky Fairy's Blue Xmas download which i thought would work a treat with the brown lace.

The swirl is hand cut as are the base flowers, I then added primas on top of them. The letters are brown chipboard ones from a Brenda Pinnick scrapbook kit covered in brown sugar coating from doodlebug. The frame the text is in is also from the Blue Xmas kit from Funky Fairy's and the birthday text is from a stamp set (but I threw the packaging away so cant remember the manufacturer). The ribbon is from chatterbox.

Thanks for looking, as always comments are welcome.

Mum card

My mum asked me to make her a card for my nans birthday, so here it is. I've used papers from Summertime Designs once again, ribbon from chatterbox, buttons, pin and pearls from stash, prima flowers, computer generated sentiment using ASL Script font, chipboard letters from a Brenda Pinnick kit. And some close ups:

My mum wanted a sentiment for the inside so i chose this one and decorated it with the same papers:

No Camera

My boyfriend has gone on holiday to Ibiza with his friends for 10 days and taken his digital camera with him, mine is worse than useless at taking pictures of my cards so I'll have to wait till he comes home to upload my recent creations. In the mean time here's a card I had previously photographed.
I used the pennyblack stamp cheesecake parade a stamped happy birthday sentiment, papers from a scrapbook kit by Brenda Pinnick, prima flowers, die cut swirls and ribbon from my stash. This is the inside:

Thanks for looking! x
