A few more Christmas cards

Evening All

I have signed up again to do Snoflakes Challenge over on Do-crafts which is to make at least one christmas card per week until christmas.  I have been trying to get ahead with this challenge while I am in the mood for making Christmas Cards.

Here are my week 4 Cards (yes I did say cards) they have all been made using the same stamp, just in different colours.

Image is called "Snowy Hugs" by Magnolia
All images have been coloured in with Flexmarkers and glittered with ultra fine glitter.
Embossing folders used are by provocraft and crafts too.
All other card and ribbon is from my stash.

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

Couple of challenge cards

Evening All

Over on the Do-crafts website we have an A-Z Christmas Challenge running which I am taking part in.  The challenge is to make 26 cards (Christmas themed of course) in 26 days.

Here are some pictures of the first 2 I have made.

A is for Angelic.

B is for Blue

I was originally going to do B is for Bauble but decided to go for B is for Blue especially when I saw the lovely little angel image I just has to use.

Watch out for the rest of the alphabet now what will I be doing for Z?

Tilda Birthday Card

Evening all,

Here is a birthday card that I made for one of my daughter's friends.

The image is Tilda Ballerina which has been stamped with memento and coloured in with my promarkers.  I have also embossed the whole image with WOW glitter embossing powder to give it that little sparkle.

The number 5 has been cut using my Cricut and the ribbon is from my stash.

It is such a shame that the embossing powder does not show up very well as it is just stunning.

The greeting is computer generated and cut out using some of my nestabilities.

Thank you for looking and for any comments you may like to leave.

Truly Scrumptious - Challenge 43 - Sketch & Easel Card

Evening All

After a very busy day here is my entry for this weeks challenge and it is the first time I have done this challenge so please be gentle (lol)

The challenge was to create a card using a sketch with the option of turning the card into an easel card and since these are my favourite type of cards at the moment I did not need much arm twisting to take part in the challenge.

A close up of the top part of my card so that you can see all elements of the sketch.  The backing papers are some free papers I have out of one of the magazines I buy, but I forgot to keep a record so I cannot tell you whether they are from this year of last.

I have chosen to use one of the new Tilda stamps called "Tilda wants a hug" which can be found here and I have coloured her in with my promarkers but being a bit dizzy today and forgot to write down the colours I have used, oh well at least she looks lovely in red.

The snowflakes have been die cut using the Marianne snowflake dies using glittered white card.  I have then layered 3 snowflakes on top of each other to give this lovely effect.

These lovely little poinsettia's have been die cut using the mini poinsettia dies from Marianne which I must say I am loving at the moment.  These are definitely my crafting essentials for christmas.

Publish Post

The greeting on the bottom of the easel card is from my stash and for the life of me I cannot remember where they are from as I have had them for a few years.

Outside of Order of Service for our daughter Amy

Evening everyone

Well I am sure that most of you know that our baby daughter Amy was born asleep on the 25th August.  We allowed the hospital to do a full post mortem which was supposed to take 2 weeks but it took just over 4 weeks to get her back.  We have now had a date for her funeral which will take place on Thursday 14th October.

I decided that I would like to design her order of service and chose the Sleeping Baby Tilda stamp, a marianne die and a spellbinders die and this is what I came up with.

I have coloured the image with my promarkers in the following colours, Dusky pink, Ivory, Blush and Vanilla.

The poem was sent to me by my friend Rachel who found it on the internet and thought it fit the occasion quite well.

Thank you for looking and for any comments you may like to leave.

Week 74 Dawny's Sketch - Magnolia Challenge and Passion for Promarkers Challenge

Morning Everyone

This is my entry for this week challenge for the magnolia challenge amd  a Passion for Promarkers Challenge (Make your own flowers)

The image I believe is called "Loves me" but I am not sure what collection it is from.  The card base and papers are from my stash, unfortunately I cannot remember what the papers are called as I have had them for a long time.

I have coloured her in with my Promarkers, Hair sandstone, face Pastel pink and blush, Arms blush, Outfit and shoes Blue Pearl and flower Ivory and Almond.

The flowers have been handmade by me and if you would like to make your own please see the link for flowers under tutorials on the sidebar.  The heart pins are from wild orchid crafts and the foliage has been punched out of cream stardream card.

The greeting is from Craftwork cards and I have matted it onto some mirror card to give it that little bit of shine.

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