Live It Up!

  Not gonna lie, a rainbow cake is my favourite kind of cake! M&S does one that is just sooooo good! This image is from Poppy Power by Marcella Hawley, coloured with my ever trusty promarkers. I used my silhouette to cut the circle and the banner die cuts. The papers were from a Craft ID pad, layered on a navy card base. Then some orange twine and a little 'rainbow' of gems to finish it off.

Stork - Hello Sweet Baby

  I've made a bunch of cards lately, but I keep forgetting about posting them on here, or entering challenges, oops? This cute baby card uses papers from craft sentations once upon a time pad. The image is an old one from digital delights by loubyloo, mounted on a die cut circle from my silhouette. The sentiment was hand stamped from a couple of different sentiment sets. Challenges: - Try it on Tuesday - countdown 3-2-1 (3 gems, 2 patterned papers, 1 die cut) - Fab 'n' Funky  #631 - dies or punches

Valentine's Day Cow

  Another digi from amandajaynedesigns, coloured of course with my trusty promarkers. I've used a white card base, but layered with black card and this gorgeous paper from the craft sensations, lipsticks basics pack. Added a bit of twine on the tag die, that was cut with my Silhouette Cameo and a few wee gems to finish. The Paper Players #771 - Love is in the Air 613 Avenue Create - Anything goes w/opt.

I Love You Bear-y Much

  So I treated myself to the epic digi stamp bundle from amandajaynedesigns (seriously 50% off - it was a *steal* and they are all so stinkin' cute!) over on Etsy this week. This adorable little bear comes from there. I used my Cameo's print-and-cut function to cut him and coloured him with my Promarkers.  The paper is from an old craft sensations pad called lipstick basics, and I stamped the sentiment by hand from one of my many old sentiment stamps, which I've long since forgotten where they came from! All layered on a black card base, and of course, I had to add a couple of little gems because I can't help myself!

On Your Special Day

I picked up this metalic paper pack from art studio a couple of months ago this is the first time I've used it, it's so pretty! I've used some white/silver and white/gold papers here as well as a bit of vellum from a deco time pack that matched beautifully, on a kraft card base. The image is from just ink lined, very subtly coloured with my promarkers thesentiment was handstamped and a couple of pearks and a flower from my stash to finish it off.

Birthday Blooms

  I love this sunflower stamp from Poppy Power by Marcella Hawley. I've used it a few times now and I love it. It's so versatile. I coloured it, of course, with my trusty promarkers.  I hand-stamped the sentiment and cut it by hand. Papers are from a craft ID pad, 'when life gives you lemons' and added the butterflies and a few wee gems to finish. The current challenge for As You Like It is favorite occasion and I debated with myself between birthdays and christmas, because I love both, but went with birthdays because it's so much more individual. I love making cards that are specifically made with a person in mind. Using their favourite colours, picking themes for their hobbies and interests. This one is going to my neighbour for her birthday, as she loves flowers - her garden is amazing!  As You Like It - favourite occasion and why Art Impressions #419 - Pocket Full of sunshine Stamping Sensations - I Spy With My Little Eye Something beginning with 'B"...

Valentines Dragon

  How cute is this little dragon from leehollandart? I coloured him with my promarkers and added the sentiment with Ladybug Red Memento ink. The stamp might have been a freebie in a magazine at some point, but it's so old I can't remember!  I used my cameo to cut the circle die and the 'tag' shape. The papers came from a new artstudio pad I picked up last week (and got some looks from my friend about because it contains so much pink, lol) and I finished it off with some flowers and the heart pin that I dug out from the bottom of my stash. I believe the flowers came from hobbycraft, but no idea about the pin.
