Mum's Birthday

Good evening! Here is another commission card......

I have totally fallen in love with this card lol!

Computer printed sentiment, Prima flowers, Sweet Owl papers, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, buttons, pearls and ribbon from my stash. I chalked the edges of the sentiment and the strips of paper to give some definition.

Baby's Christening

Hi everyone!
First of all, welcome to my new follower, Debbie I believe! I hope you take some inspiration and joy from my blog :)

Well as some of you know I had a few commissions to make over the last few days and here is another one of them. 

The lovely image is of course Lili of The Valley and I have coloured her with Promarkers and cut her out with Nesties. The flowers are Wild Orchid, the embossing folder and swirl are Sizzix, the border punch is Martha Stewart and the backing paper is Pink Petticoat. I finished with a few gems for some bling.

Welcome, Little Star

Well hello again!

I seem to really be on a roll these last couple of days! Here is another commission card for a new baby girl.

The image, for those who don't recognise it lol, is Pollycraft and is coloured with Promarkers. I have embossed the background with a Sizzix folder (I think) and border bunched the edge using a Martha Stewart punch. The strip of paper is Back 2 Basics II. I have added a little glitter to the stars and the cloud.

Dressmaker's Birthday!

Good afternoon!

Well it's time for another challenge over at Crafting For All Seasons and this week the theme is

TEXTURE

We are extremely lucky to have 2 sponsors this week!

and

The prizes for this week's challenge are 4 digis from Meljens and $20 gift certificate from The Paper Shelter.......how totally generous and fab is that?!!

I have used a The Paper Shelter image for my card

This image is Cute Dressmaker and when you buy this digi, you also get a coloured version and some background stuff, which I have used here. I added some wording to the image using text boxes in Word. I then just added some Ric-Rac, a button flower and some metal corners for the texture in my card. 

The DT really have excelled for this challenge! Please pop on over to their blogs to see their totally stunning creations!

Christmas Blessings

Good morning all :)

How are we all in the land of blog? I am gradually getting better......thanks so much for all your good wishes! :)

Ok so I managed to get into my craft room again yesterday to get some of my commissions done, and in between I put this one together, that I have been trying to make for nearly 2 weeks lol!

This Gorjuss image is Guardian Angel from Sugar Nellie designs, coloured with Promarkers......I totally love it! And I really love how this card has come out too! :) The background is some material left over from some blinds that I stamped and glittered with a Wild Rose Studio snowflake. The swirl is Sizzix. This is a proper girly glittery card!
