NEW STASH

Me again back with my second card today!

It is hubby's birthday today and we are just back from a lovely lunch out at a fabulous little Farm tearoom, a real favourite of ours!

This time I am using a new stamp, quite different to my norm, and this one is a Kanban stamp.  Ins't she lovely!  Very glam!  I have again layered doilies, coloured he image with promarkers and Copics and used the Martha Stewart 'branch' punch for the leaves.

 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Fashionable Stamping challenge - New Stash

Dream Valley Challenge - Anything Goes

The Crazy Challenge - Lace and/or pearls

Thanks for looking again, it has been a lovely day for us so far and I hope it is for you too,

PURRFECT IN BLUE

Morning everyone

A very quick posting today as I have to be out early.

This is the first of a batch of cards I have been asked to make for little boys aged 4 to 5.  The image is a new one from a pack of Personal Impression stamps and oh my they stamp up beautifully.   

This is a totally new thing for me really, I have never coloured cats and was not sure how I would get on (I used copics and promarkers), and have rarely do this style of card and OMG no flowers!!!!!  I am totally out of my comfort zone if I cannot clart the card up with lots of emellishments!   The flourish is a Sizzix die-cut I think, I bought this one from EBay.  I think the papers are Doodlebug.  The music paper is from a Marianne Creatables pad.

GDT AT BUNNY ZOE CRAFTS CHALLENGE - PHOTO INSPIRATION -

Morning everyone

I am thrilled and honoured to be joining the Design Team at Bunny Zoe Crafts  as Guest Designer in their lovely challenge today.  There is a fabulous photo inspiration theme, just perfect for those Mother's Day, Valentine and Spring Birthday/Wedding cards!  What a joy this was to work to, it is so pretty.  The stamp I have chosen is one I have wanted for simply ages, it is a Bildmalarna stamp called 'I picked some flowers' (available here)

There is a lovely selection of stamps at Bunny Zoe Crafts  so do pop over and take a look.  It is actually one of my favourite shops, there is lots of choice, and the service is so efficient and fast so you will guess how pleased I was to be chosen as GDT today!  

So onto the card, the image I have coloured with Copics and Promarkers, the papers are Melissa Frances 5th Avenue (aren't they gorgeous! they were perfect for this photo inspiration!) the flowers were from Wild Orchid Crafts the leaves are made using the Martha Stewart 'branch' punch and I think everything else came from my stash.

I have loved every minute of making this card from start to finish, and using such lovely materials and I hope you enjoy looking and hopefully taking part in such a lovely challenge.

Thanks to all at Bunny Zoe Crafts too for choosing me to be their Guest Designer, 

I will be back later to link up some challenges to this card:
