Concorde!

Wow! What a gorgeous morning it is here in Huddersfield! The sun is very bright...beautiful!

I'm here to show a card I have made for a commission...

The image is from Google images and I printed it twice and decoupaged the second image for some dimension. The embossed panel was done using a Stampin' Up! EF and then I chalked the edges with Dovecraft chalks.

(Late) Less Is More!

Good morning LIMettes!!

I know....how late am I??! Well I had a couple of friends over last night and we had quite a few glasses of wine, so I treated myself to a lie-in this morning, especially as Keiran wasn't here to wake me up this morning lol!

Anyway, this week at Less Is More (for all you, as yet, non-LIMettes!) is a lucky dip challenge as it's the 5th Saturday in the month. We have been spoilt too! It is a Photo Inspiration...

Aren't they the most gorgeous colours?!

So here is my card...

I like to make little 'thank you' cards to pop in with my customer orders when I send them, and this is one of them.

The flower stamp is from Stampin Up! Posy Punch and I coloured the rubber with Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride and Lucky Limeade Stampin' Write markers before stamping. I chalked the corners of the card blank with Dovecraft chalks in pink and green, though the pink doesn't show so well in the photo. The sentiment is from The Floral Collection (a mag freebie), stamped in Basic Grey, and I drew the stalk in, in Pear Pizazz, as I thought the flower kind of looked like it was 'floating' lol!

Ok I'm now off to Jen's for a bit of craft therapy, then I shall be on my market stall tomorrow! :)

Bye for now!

Timmy's Stocking

Hey again!

I have just made this card before I go and get on with some jobs, do some shopping and take Keiran to the park!

This gorgeous and very chuffed little boy is Timmy's Stocking from Mo Manning. I bought and coloured him a little while ago and then forgot about him :( So I have now fulfilled his purpose, and that is another image from the stash gone! 

He is coloured with Promarkers, and the papers are Dovecraft, Winter Wonderland. Gorgeous aren't they?! Oh and I added a little white 'non glitter' to the cuff of the stocking. I left the sentiment off as it seems to be covered in them!

*Disclaimer* No papers or images have been specifically printed or coloured for this card!

Christmas Ted

Hello again :)

Here is another Christmas card...I'm doing well this year! ;)

Image is Lili of The Valley coloured with Promarkers. The papers are Blonde Moments and Dovecraft Winter Wonderland. The sentiment is a freebie by Polka Doodles from Papercraft Essentials. I printed 'Kraft' from Pink Petticoat onto my base card, though the colour isn't right...not sure why :(  I finished with Martha Stewart snowflakes cut from the blue DP and a couple of white buttons.

The image is from Little Claire, one of the digi ones, and I've coloured it with Promarkers (Poppy, Berry, Red, True Blue, Cool Grey1, 4, 5,Black). I then simply mounted it onto an 8x8 card with various scrap pieces of paper from my Scraps box. The sentiment is from a Dovecraft sentiments stamp set.

TFL,
