A Couple of cards - style a little different for me

Afternoon All

Thought you may like to see a couple of cards I have made during the week that are a different style for me.

The stamp is a Hero Arts Cling stamp called "Dancing with flowers" which has been stamped and embossed with WOW embossing powders.

Card and paper for both cards are from my stash so unfortunately I cannot remember what they are called.

Lili of the Valley - Challenge 104

Evening All

Here is my entry for this weeks challenge.

I decided to try to incorporate the sketch into a A5 size card rather than doing a square card which I seem to be stuck in a rut doing.

The sentiment is computer generated.
Pearlised card from my stash.
Paper scraps from my stash.

The LOTV Image I have used is "Emma Walkies" and it has been coloured in with promarkers.
Not sure what make the flowers are but I do think they are pretty.

Commissioned Cards

Good afternoon all

I have had a few requests from friends and family to make some cards, a couple of golden wedding cards and a 70th birthday card.

The golden wedding anniversary cards have been inspired by a card over on the docrafts site made by Niftynita and can be found here if you would like to take a look.

Both cards have been made using Stardream card and have been stamped with gold pigment ink and embossed with WOW embossing powders.  The sentiment is computer generated.

The next card was commissioned for a 70th birthday.

The sentiment is computer generated, card, gems and ribbon are from my stash.  The image is from Fizzy Moon and has been coloured in with promarkers.

Thank you cards for a Christening

Evening All

Well my cousin asked me to make 5 Thank you  cards for the Godfathers and Godmothers at little Megans Christening and these are the cards I came up with.

Although the cards have all been made with the same Stamp (The free Tatty Teddy off the Creativity Magazine) I have tried to do each card slightly different.

The swirls on both the girls cards have been made using Bazzill Bling templates and 3mm Anita's Gems.

The Card candy on the Boys cards are from Craftwork cards as at the moment I cannot be bothered to make my own.

All of the sentiments have been computer generated so that they can be personalised.

Brothers Birthday Card and entry for the here comes the boys challenge

Morning All

Well it was my brothers 31st birthday yesterday and as I love making Mens Cards (NOT) and he does love his computer games I chose to use one of the Greeting Card stamps of a little boy playing computer games.

It is also my entry for the "Here Comes the Boys" challenge.

To be honest this was an easy card to make as I had already stamped and coloured this image in and I bet like many crafters we have a huge stash of stamped and coloured images.

The sentiment is from a stamp set called "Kids Quotes" and is from Inkadinkado.  Well with my brother being 31 you can guess how many fingers he held up and yes it was more than 1 but less than 3.

The papers are from the mens pack from country companions and they are gorgeous to use.

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

Two 6 year old Birthday cards

Morning All

Well this weekend my daughter has had 2 of her friends Birthday parties to go to so here are the cards I made using images she had chosen.

Ellie's 6th Birthday Card.

Image is from Lili of the Valley and is called "It's My Party" and the background papers are from a paper pack called "Spring Time" and is from the Forever Friends collection of papers.

This adorable image has been coloured with promarkers.

The sentiment was computer generated

My friend had bought one of the Bazzil Bling templates which are a little expensive for what they are but they are so worth it especially when you think how expensive the ready made swirl embellishments are.

Ashleigh's Birthday Card
