Heidi & Madison

I have made this card with one of my new High Hopes stamps called Heidi and Madison.

The sketch is from this weeks Sketch Saturday blog challenge Im also entering it into the High Hopes challenge which is Valentines

The papers are K&Co Berry Sweet, the flowers have been edged with stickles and are from from Wild Orchid Crafts, the cute image has been coloured with Copics. I've got to make a baby boy card by Saturday and don't have an image or an idea yet! eeek! I'd better get cracking!

Thanks for looking x

Perfect Day

Here is my entry for this weeks Friday Sketchers.

I've used a Penny Black Teddy stamp coloured with Copics.

The papers are DCWV Latte and the flowers are prima hydrangeas and some new ones from Joanna Sheen (I forget what they are) the centers of the flowers are iridescent stones from Bunny Zoe's and I really like them as the colours are nice and subtle.I tidied my craft room and put a few stamps on ebay so I treated myself to some bits from Bunny Zoe's online store, why have I never shopped there before???!? I got some gorgeous High Hopes stamps that I've coveted for ages!

Thanks for looking and for the lovely comments you leave x

Distressed Tilda

Something a little different from me today, I've had a go at distressing, I'm not very good at it I'm afraid!

I wanted this card to look like someone has taken the lid off an old box of someones keepsakes and found an old photo in amongst the letters and trinkets.

I'm entering it in the Just Magnolia Challenge and the Cute Card Thursday Challenge, which are both to use flowers this week and Magnolia challenge is to use hearts as well, hence the heart charm, well that's not hard for me as I love using flowers on my cards! I didn't go too OTT with the flowers today though, just a red and purple rose (that was white and was coloured with Copics).

The image is from the Magnolia winter collection, most of which have ended up on Ebay I'm afraid to say, it was the first time I bought the collection and probably the last :(

I put Tilda on top of the piano without thinking until I saw another card (I forget who's- sorry) where they sat her on the seat, which would have been much more appropriate! Oh well, we live and learn! I have seen a lot of discussion about the 'dressy older' type of Tilda and how people see her as a little girl, but I think she's still cute.

Pretty in Pink

This card is made with a cute Penny Black image called Guess What!? (That's the name of the stamp, I'm not asking you to guess! Hehe)

The papers are from a papermania scrapbooking kit and I have nearly used them all, If anyone knows if they sell them in a pack or something I'd love to get some more. Flowers are a mix of Wild Orchid Crafts and Prima.

I'm entering this card into the blog challenges below:

Rainy days

Hello again, log time no post! I'm back with my first new card this year!

The stamp is an old favorite by Joan Elliot and I've coloured it with copics. I got two new sets for Christmas, one from my parents and one from my lovely boyfriend, so I now have all the Ciao markers, been eyeing up the sketch ones now!!!
Papers are from DCWV, ribbon, pins and gems from my stash, sentiment is WOJ. How I made a card without flowers on I'll never know!!!

More Christmas Santa Cards

Yes its that stamp again! This time on an 8x8 card for my boyfriends parents.

It's been snowing a lot here lately, I love it but its a bit like my favourite shoes, great to look at but not very practical!

I hope everyone is ready for Christmas, I have finally finished all my cards!! Still got one more Christmas party to go tomorrow, then I'm off work over Christmas, yey!!

Traditional Christmas

I've made two different cards with my Santa and Penguin stamps by Craft UK. I think these are my favorite stamps this year, normally I hate making Christmas card but have enjoyed making all of them this year... so far!

They both have papers by DCWV and flowers by Wild Orchid Crafts and have both been coloured with Copic pens and Copic Glitter pens. The tree is up, the presents are mostly bought and wrapped, still not finished all my cards though! every time I think I'm done, I think of another one that needs making!
