Easter Card

I made an Easter card at last :P My sister requested one, so this is what I made.

The image is from Bugaboo. I coloured it with promarkers and added some Stickles, and a pearl from Wild Orchid Crafts. The ribbon is from Ribbon Girl and the sentiment I printed off the computer. The paper is from A DCWV pack. 

A close up of the image, it's so cute!

CAS card

I tried to do a clean and simple card. I'm really bad at them :P This is what I came up with anyway. After I took the photos I added a "best wishes" sentiment over the black bit at the left.

The image is from Pink Petticoat, the papers and gems are from my stash.

Let it Snow

Happy Easter Everybody!

I made another Christmas card today, I'm on a roll :P I had the idea for this one for a while, so I made it. It didn't come out the way it looked in my head, but it came out alright I suppose.

So this is what I came up with. The ribbon and shiny paper is from my stash, the starry paper is from an old Forever Friends paper pack, the sentiment is FF as well, the gems are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the digi is from Bugaboo :) I coloured it with Promarkers and put Stickles on too :P I really like the blue/silver/navy colours for Christmas cards, it's a step away from the usual reds and greens :)

Girly Tea

Hey there :)

I love this LOTV stamp, whenever I see it, it reminds me so much of my mother and aunt, my aunt lives away from us but meets my mum every couple of weeks for tea and chats, they're just so cute! So I every time I colour it, the girls always get the same hair colour as my mum and aunt :) 

The spotty paper is from my stash, the other one from the FF Spring pack. The image is LOTV. The ribbons and button twine are from Ribbon Girl. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The button is a spare that came from a cardigan I think. I've never used buttons before, my boyfriend has a phobia of buttons! So using them for anything never really enters my head anymore!

A closeup, Auntie Phyllis is on the left, Mum on the right :) 

A closeup of my first ever button use :P I like it, I might actually buy some buttons now! Although i'm not sure Anthony would forgive me if I do :P

Another Boy Card

I'm getting right into the swing of boy cards these days :P I got a new paper pack this week - my first ever Basic Grey pack ever! I'm on a tight budget and they seem a little more expensive than some of the stuff I use, but the pack I got is lovely :) And I was pretty happy with the way the card turned out too :D I'd never worked with these colours before, it came out way better than I'd expected :)

Anyway, this is the card I came up with :)

The papers are Basic Grey, the sentiment is LOTV, the pearls are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the epic cat is from Bugaboo! I bought it to go with the papers :) Best image ever :P

A close up of the cat, he's cool enough to deserve his own picture :P

MTY Christmas Card

Hi again :)

I decided to make a Christmas card again today. Back when I first discovered rubber stamps, this one was the first one that I bought! So it's got a special attachment really :) In fact, the image on the card was the first thing I ever coloured with Promarkers. I kept it safe until such time as I decided to use it, and today was that day :)

So this is what I made :)

I used the MTY stamp, coloured with Promarkers, and glittered up with Stickles, the sentiment is LOTV, the ribbon and charm are from Ribbon Girl and the papers and gems are from my Christmas stash from last year.

A closeup of my first ever colouring job :P 

Close up of the charm, it gets a bit lost in the main picture.

So that's my card. I'd like to enter it into the following challenges:

Boy card

I made this card for my boyfriend's birthday. He's a Liverpool supporter and I have no idea what to do for man cards, so this is what I came up with!

I used Forever Friends man paper and stickers, the gems are from my stash and the stamp and sentiment are LOTV. I printed out a really tiny Liverpool crest and stuck it on the jersey. It's a pretty plain card, but since he has a phobia of buttons, there's not really anything else I could put on it!!
