Design Team challenge

Well this card is one of my favourites. This week we are sponsored by Stitchy Bear Designs, so please enter the challenge and win a prize. I used one of their digi images which I enlarged.  I used my water colouring pencil for this digi stamp and then glazed the rose with vanish. I was so pleased that finally I was able to use stampendous fran-tage embossing powders, mica flakes and some beautiful glass glitters.  This wont be the last time I will be using their products.  I do hope you like my card.

Design Team challenge

This card I used the inspirational picture given to us to use.  This was a good opportunity to use my pan pastels.  I would say they are not the easiest medium to use but by taking your time it does give you a good result.  I used distress inks for the edges to darken them.  I'm so pleased with the result.  I do hope you like it.

Kenny K Challenge

This week's challenge for Inspirational Challenge is to use an image from Kenny K.  I don't normally make cards with these images, but I must admit I did enjoy making this card.  It gives you the opportunity to use your promarkers and practice on shading.
I hope you like this card.

Just Inspirational Challenges

I'm pleased to announce that I'm on Just Inspirational design team.  I've been on the design team for a couple of months now and I'm enjoying it so much.
My first challenge i used an inspirational picture where i used my promarkers and prisma pencils.  The picture was a tree house in a fields, so i used my molly bloom stamp and the rest was with pens and pencils.
here's my card

card swap

Well same old story, not keeping up with my blog.  i know i should keep it up but as time goes on you think where has the time gone.  Anyway enough winging and now show you what I've been up to.
These next 2 cards have been painted with mica paints.  I have lots of them so I should use them.  I hope you like them

 

card swap

Gosh it's been ages since I last blogged and I thought it was about time to get on with some work and show you what I've been up to.

I participate in a  monthly card swap which I help to run as I'm in admin to make sure crafter's get paired up so we can exchange our creations.

Last month's theme was red roses, so I'll show you my cards for the swap.
The first card I used a Kanban stamp and coloured in with  promarkers.  The image was cut out and placed onto some card.  The edges were punched with a Marther Stewart punch then i glittered certain parts of the roses.
The second card I stamped an image from Chocolate Baroque and used promarkers.  The image was distressed with ink and then placed onto different card.  I used ribbon to decorate the bottom of the card and glittered some of the image.
I do hope my card swaps are liked by my friends

valentine

How lucky was I when I woke up valentine morning with a huge arrangement of pink and white flowers.  Married to me and being a florist he wanted to please and make me happy by buying nothing but the best, and he didn't disappoint.  He is a romantic at heart but what he didn't buy me was a card!!!  I asked why he would buy flowers and not a card?  His answer was he was sure he could please me with flowers but when it comes to cards then I'm difficult to please!!!!!  My response to that was I would rather he made me a card or even cut out a heart anything but he knew that if he bought one it wouldn't be the same and he is right.  A card made by your own hands means so much more.  But I didn't mind at all as the flowers will last me a couple of weeks.

Here are some cards I made for valentines. One is from crafty individual and the other is from paper artsy.  As per usual loved making them using embossing powder,heart punches and coloured in copics, all for the theme of love.
