Hell...what's one more friggen candle?!

Good evening!

'Hello stranger', I hear you say! I know I've not been on for a few days, but I was laid up with a really horrid cold and cough, that really took it out of me and all I could manage to do was get my shifts at work done, and entertain my now 4yr old Keiran! Any crafting took a back burner I'm afraid! I also have a lot going on in my private life right now too, so I may be absent somewhat over the coming weeks, but I shall still endeavour to post. After all, I still have commissions to make!

And here is one of them! 

This is my DT card for our new challenge at Crafting For All Seasons, where this week our challenge is

The image I used is Frame It Stella - One More Candle and she's coloured with Promarkers. The papers are Shabby Princess - Sweet Sprinkles, and I made the flower using 'blind' fabric!

On A Bike Ride

Good afternoon Crafters and Bloggers!
I spent this morning trying to put this card together, which, for an idea I had, seemed to take forever! I couldn't seem to cut the papers the right size and ended up confusing myself lol! Then I got silicone glue on the ribbon so I had to pull it all apart and add new ribbon! Ahh well......here it is, finally!

The gorgeous image is from Pollycraft and is coloured with Promarkers. The papers are freebies from Shabby Princess and the sentiment is LOTV. The ribbon is from my stash but it's possibly from Craftwork Cards. I'm entering it into the following challenges......

You'll always be my friend!

Hey!
Well here is the card I made on Friday for my very good friend Hels. I made a similar one for another fab friend in March, but I have used very different papers for this one!
*WARNING* It's bright!!

The stamp is from the Born To Shop range, and the papers are Shabby Princess, Spring Breeze. Coloured with Promarkers, as usual, to match the papers. The flower and gem are from my stash. The pictures really don't show just how bright this card is! But I think it's really funky and I love it! :D

I am entering it into the following challenges... (because I think they're very spring like colours!)

Rainbow Ladies - Springtime
The Pixie Cottage - Sketch and/or for Mum/special lady

Thanks so much for looking......please leave a comment so I know you stopped by! :)

Just to say...You're Special

It's the weekend! :)
Well after a day off card making, cos my mojo got up and left again, I seem to have got it back! This time I found it in my newly mown lawn!

Anyway, I have made 2 fab cards today, that I am VERY pleased with :D  I can only post one tonight though as the other is for my friend's birthday tomorrow.

So this little gem is using LOTV's very cute Spring Swing stamp. Now I have to admit, when I bought this stamp in Harrogate, I had a very good idea what I would do with it, and Jen's Swinging Along had given me the inspiration for the hanging in the aperture ages ago. Actually, I just went to find Jen's card so I could link it and discovered she too used Shabby Princess papers!

I have made this card using a card blank I had already cut a circular aperture in to make a shaker card at Christmas, but the aperture was too small!

I coloured this lovely image with Promarkers (Warm Grey 2, Holly, Forest Green, Pear Green, Caramel & Cocoa) The papers are, as mentioned, Shabby Princess from Vintage Florals and Harvest Spice. The flowers were made by using a stamp I have from 'Stamp It'. I stamped them with Brilliance Moonlit White onto some matching paper from my scrap box and cut them out, shaping them with a tool I bought from La Pashe in Harrogate. The sentiment is also from the Stamp It set and is stamped in brown ink.

 The middle of the flowers were made by punching a 1inch circle of green paper (from scrap box again!), cut it into a spiral and wrapped it around a coctail stick, then glued together. (I'll try and put a demonstration on my tips page this week). I had originally flocked the middles but it just didn't look enough. I finished with a
 little cotton wool for his bobtail.

When I had put the card together, I realised the back of the bunny wasn't too pretty so I put it onto my light box and used a black fineliner to draw the details on the back, which I then coloured in too.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Totally Gorjuss - Fluffy

A Spoon Full Of Sugar - All Creatures Great And Small

Passion For Promarkers - Make your own Embellishments

The Pixie Cottage - Sketch and/or for Mum or a special lady

Craft Your Passion - 2 by 2 (2 flowers and two coloured bunnies)
