Muriel

Monday comes around so quick, doesn't it?

Today I have another Saturated Canary image called Muriel, to share with you.  I love the colours in this one.  They are all from the new Copic pens I bought last week. 

For those who are interested the dress and boots are coloured with E04, V12, V17 and C7.  The hair is E08, E29 and E49.  The lips are E04 and R29, while the skin is E00, E11 and E21, with R20 for her cheeks.

I chose pink and purple DPs from my stash and added Spellbinders Gold Corners.

This is a rolled flower with some paper flowers and fern leaves.

A close up of the corner.

So there she is.  Hope you like her.

Tilda

Jude here again with a sweet little Tilda card.

I used the Mojo Monday 366 sketch and will be entering this into the challenge.

Jen bought this stamp a while ago when she had a Magnolia splurge lol!  I coloured her with promarkers.

I made 4 rolled flowers and cut leaves from vellum.

The papers are all from my scrap box, as is the paper for the sentiment.

Everything was placed on a 6 x 6 card blank as the image is quite small.

Hope you like it.  TTFN Jude xx

It's such a lovely day

Happy birthday to Me! Happy birthday to Me!

Happy birthday dear Me-ee! Happy birthday to Me!

Guess what today is?  Yep it's Thursday lol [and my birthday ;)] It's also the day Jen and I fly off to sunny Sardinia for 7 days, so forgive us if our posts are a little sparse over the next week.

This is my latest creation to share with you.  It is the lovely 'Lovely' by Krista Smith.

She is coloured with Promarkers and didn't turn out too badly.

I layered her on several papers from the stash, then added rolled flowers and leaves cut from matching card stock.

I really like this colour combination.  What do you think?

Door sign

It's Friday and a Bank Holiday!  It doesn't get much better than that lol ;)

Continuing the non-card theme we seem to have going I thought I'd show you a door hanger sign I made yesterday.  The idea was based on the mdf hearts we did last week.  Unfortunately I think the colours are too similar for it to work.  Next time I'll use different papers.

I learnt a few tricks to make different flowers at the Dabble Day and tried to use some of our flower stamps to recreate them.  It hasn't worked brilliantly but they will do.

I used a couple of different stencils in the background and inked through with Distress Inks.

The ferns are made from a lovely die Jen bought recently.

I'm not too disappointed with the finished result.  Hope you like it.

Happy Saturday

Good morning all, It's Jen here again as Jude has managed to wriggle out of blogging today (Hmphhhh) She decided to go out and enjoy herself last night instead of preparing something for the blog! How very dare she???? lol. A social life at her age, well I ask you? ROFL, (She'll probably kill me when she sees this lol.)

 

Anyway I have quickly hurried some pics together of a card I made last week. So today is another Fizzy Moon card.

 

I stamped the image with black Memento ink and coloured with Promarkers. I then cut it out with a fancy oval die, and inked through the die very lightly with a touch of Tattered Rose Distress Ink.

 

 

 

I teamed the image with some more of the Fizzy Moon papers and matted it with a bright mustard card on to a 6x6 scalloped card blank.

 

 

I used my Marianne rolled rose die to cut a few flowers out of a matching card and added these to the card with a few leaves and a clear pearl centre.

 

 

I finished the card with the happy birthday sentiment, cut from some more of the bright mustard card.

 

Hope you like it, thanks for stopping by again.

 

See you soon

Even more stash! AND a card!! [Image heavy]

Happy Wednesday! [or hump day as it's affectionately known]

The middle of the week and as far from the weekend as you can get.  Booooooo ;)

 

Last night I dragged this..................  

 

  .......into the craft room to unpack.  This is what came out of it!!!! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd actually forgotten I had some of this\0/

I think we should seriously consider whether we need to buy anything again this year!

 

So on to the card. 

I made this for my niece who will be 26 this weekend.

The bear came from a pre-printed set which I coloured in neutral shades with flex markers. 

The matt and layer is a hexagonal Spellbinder die. 

The sentiment stamp was a freebie from a magazine. 

The buttons and papers are from my stash.  You can't see very well but the rolled flowers are made with the pink floral paper. 

Hope you like it.

Good morning

Good morning everyone. Hope the sun is shining for you today. We are keeping our fingers crossed for some nice weather today as it's my granddaughters birthday party this afternoon and then mum and dad's party tonight. So it would really help if we don't spend the whole day running backwards and forwards in the rain!

 

Today's card is another one I made for Mum's birthday. I'm loving pink and green together at the minute.

 

 

It's a 6x6 Kraft card blank, with some papers and toppers that were free with a magazine.

 

I added the flowers from my stash,

 

and the pearl string.

 

 

I just think it's a really fresh summery looking card. What do you think?

 

Hope you like it too. Thanks for stopping by today.

 

See you soon

 

Jen
