Lighthouse Birthday Card

  I've had this image printed and cut for literally *ever* and then I saw this sketch from freshly made sketches and well it was perfect for it. I'll have to update the post later with where exactly the image is from as I'm doing this from my iPad and don't have it handy. The sentiment was printed too. I inked the cloud effect using a spare die cut and also the water. The rest of the colour was done with my promarkers. The papers were from a couple of different pads from art studio. Mounted on blue card base and a couple of wee gems to finish. Freshly Made Sketches - 729 - Sketch

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.

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"...
