Hi
I'm just making a quick visit to my blog to share the card I made for my daughter in law's birthday.
The flowers are coloured with various brands of marker pen.
I added some Mother of Pearl sequins to finish.

Hi,
I thought I'd share one of this years batch of Christmas cards with you. I started nice and early this year and do have most of them done now, just the individual kids ones that take me ages to colour. Maybe I should have started those first.
This one however is definately an adult card
I stamped my greeting ( Alex Siberia) in clear ink and embossed it in silver EP onto white vellum, cut a strip wider than the design base so I could tuck the edges around the base.
I placed the base on the main card and added the scallop frame ( Lawn Fawn) neatly over the design.
I finished off with a few diamonte
I'll be back soon with some more designs.
Thanks for popping in
Hello,
I'm popping in today to share a more masculine card.
I'm not very good at man cards but this die, Geo Tile from Pinkfresh Studio, made me think man straight away although in different colours it would also be great as a feminine card.
I used 3 different shades of green pearlescent card on a gold background for this one. I used double sided adhesive paper on the back of each sheet of colour which made life a little easier.
I did find it quite theraputic actually although a bit fiddly.
Thank you for visiting
Hello,
Yes I'm back with another card to share. This one is the wedding card I made for my grand daughter and her partner.
A bit of a cheat this one as I downloaded some watercolour clipart from Etsy for this card. The designer I used is called Reachdream and their images are stunning. I'll be sharing other makes using these images in the future.
I used a sheet of vellum to print the bride and grooms names in a pale yellow and as soon as it came through the printer, I added some gold embossing powder. The printer ink stays wet for longer on vellum making it easy to use this method as long as you remember to use an anti static cloth first.
After cutting the vellum into a strip I cut the main image to size. I placed the vellum onto the image where I wanted it and added a small strip of yellow card folded over to sandwich the two papers.
I used my Cropadile to punch a hole and add an eyelet. I then stuck to image to my card base before adding a die cut Congratulations from Britania Dies above the names and some gold flat back pearls to finish.
I'm really pleased with the end result. I hope you like it too.
See you soon.
Hi
Yes it's me, trying really hard to be a good blogger.
I'm here today to share the card I made for my son back in July
My lad is Hull city fan who play in black and amber so it was a non brainer to use this fabulous die from Spellbinders. City's away strip is sky blue so I used that for the base and black, amber and white for the hexagons
I was pleased with the outcome and son was impressed so I'm a happy mum.
See you soon
Hello!
Remember me? I'm the old biddy that promised to blog more often way back in March. That went well didn't it?
So...I'm not making any more promises but I do have a few cards to post.
I used Diamond Tiles stamp from Pink Fresh Studio and Versacolour cyan ink for the background.
The flowers are Lush Peonies stamp and die also from PFS and coloured with marker pens.
I added some blue gem stones to finish.
Have a good day and I'll see you soon.
Hi There,
I'm Popping in to share the card I made for my mum in law for Mothers day this Sunday. She'll be 99 years old in July and, although she now in a care home, she's both physically and mentally very well.
I used a stencil from Honey Bee Stamps with Nuvo embellishment mouse on the card base.
The stamp is Lush Peonies from Pinkfresh Studio coloured with various marker pens
The sentiment is from an old Flourishes stamp set now retired cut out with a banner from Catherine Pooler

Hi there,
It's been a while.
I know I said I intended to blog a lot more than I had been doing but that obviously didn't work out.
I have been crafting and building up quite a collection of cards. I was lucky enough to receive some new stamps and dies for Christmas which means I spent lots of time playing but not a lot photographing and blogging.
I will try harder!
So my first show is a stamp I had before Christmas but didn't use much,
I've used the 'Chrisanthemum slimline stamp' from Pinkfresh Studio coloured with various marker pens.
I reduced the size of the stamped image by using the Ornate Banner die, also by pinkfresh studio.
The sentiment is from Pinkfresh Studio Artistic Dahlia stamp set.
I've finished it off with a smattering of lilac gems.
Just a word quick about alcohol marker pens.
I have always used either Promarker pens or Spectrum Noir and, apart from the odd early drier, have always been happy with them. I do wish Promarkers had a wider range of shades but thats not a fault. However they can be quite expensive when you have to keep renewing the pens you use regularly. Just before Christmas I bought myself some new pens from Amazon just to try them out really, thinking that if they weren't that good I hadn't wasted a fortune. They are wonderful. A huge choice of shades, double sided and lovely and juicy. I'm not giving up on my Promarkers or Spectrum Noir but these are a lovely addition. Apparently they sell them in B&M too (UK)
Have a lovely day x
Hi there,
Wow! Two posts in two days, get me.
My sister in law became a Nanna to a gorgeous baby girl a few weeks ago. Baby was a bit early but is doing very well now.
I've made a couple of these before but not quite as good as this one. I'm quite pleased with it.
Flowers from Sweet Lilac.
Letter L from Amazon
I used an emulsion paint sample pot to paint the letter

Hi there!
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year. It's nice to get back to some sort of normality though isn't it.
I have a card to share today that I made before Christmas for my brother in law. I don't make many man cards, I find them quite difficult but this one was easy to make if not very exciting to look at.
I used some backing paper from Pink Petticoat now retired.
Balloons cut from various snippets of card
The balloon dies are from Concord & 9th
The sentiment stamp is from Trinity stamps.
Years ago I made my New Years resolution to NOT make New Years resolutions because I either fail or forget. However, I am determined to blog a lot more than I have been in the past. I will try not to forget this one but don't hold your breath.
Thanks for popping in
