Faith - A Digi stamp by Sugar Nellie

Evening all

I thought I would share with you tonight a card that I have been thinking about making for a while.  The main reason I have been thinking about making it is these gorgeous flowers, I like to sit and look at them but they have sat in their box for long enough so here are their first outing and I do hope you like what I have done.

The card measures 14.5cm square and has been made using 270g/m card which is lovely to use.

A close up of those gorgeous flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The leaves are Prima rose leaves.

Another view of my card.  The background papers are called summer bloom and are beautiful to use.

Sketch Saturday - Week 140

Evening all

My post for tonight is a little late but still in time for the challenge (only just though).

I love this digi image from Victoria Case definitely one for the girls (lol) and I just fancied using a different sort of image.  I needed to come away from the cute even if for one card.

Hope you like it.

Bah! Humbug - Challenge 4 - An Oldie but a Goldie.....

Afternoon all

Here is my card for this weeks challenge and I have a confession to make.  I bought this stamp over 5 years ago but this is the first time I have used it (hangs head in shame).

I think it is a little bright for me but as I say nothing ventured nothing gained.

The image I have used is called "Snowboard Penguin" and is/was made by stampendouus.  I have coloured him in with promarkers.

I hope the flowers and brads look ok as I was not sure at first but decided to leave it alone.

Greeting was stamped directly onto the paper after I have mounted it onto the card stock.  The greeting is from Lili of the Valley and is from one of their sentiment packs.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and for any comments you may like to leave.
