Mum's Card

Morning Everyone. Yesterday was my Mum's Birthday so I can finally post up the card I made her :-)

I just fell in love with this image the moment I saw it & knew I had to have it lol!! Isn't he fabulous? I coloured him with Promarkers & used Distress Ink around the edge. I then layered on to these gorgeous Nitwit papers that came in a magazine. I added a bit of lace & these metal brads that I picked up the other day.

The sentiment was stamped onto the same paper & I again added Distress Ink to the edges. The only thing that is missing is some gems, but I had to finish my card away from home & it was the only thing I forgot to bring with me :-( x Clare x

Birthday Card 2

Good Morning all my lovely followers. I really had a productive day yesterday & managed to get this card finished late last night :-) This is another birthday card from the ongoing order.

I just adore this little Mouse from Robyn's Fetish. I really should use him a lot more than I do. He has been coloured with Promarkers & I added some Distress Ink around the edge. Here is a closer look at the image.

I added some Faux Stitching to the sentiment & I found these cute ladybird rub ons in a drawer so decided to add them in the corner. I then decided to carry the ladybird theme through the rest of the card.

I would never have normally put pink, blue & red together like this, but I think they work well x Clare x

Birthday Card

Well, I can't believe how slack I have been at blogging this year :-( I am desperately trying to get my new craft room decorated so I can try & get a bit more organised with my time & get back to enjoying my crafting, rather than dodging muddy paw prints & wet fur lol!! But today I have actually got a card made. It is part of a large order that I have running over the year :-)

I have used the sketch at Friday Sketch Challenge. I used 2 papers from last month's Simply Homemade magazine. Image with coloured with Promarkers. Here is a close up of the image.

I took the papers through to the inside of the card but left it fairly simple as the card will be posted out.

 

Hope to be back soon with a few more cards as I have quite a few birthdays coming up in the next couple of weeks. x Clare x

Biker Chick

Morning everyone. Looks like Mr Sunshine has finally decided to come out to play again. I am so glad as I have a mountain of washing that I desperately need to pile through :-) In the meantime though I was asked to make a card for a 50th birthday. So I decided to take the plunge & get my 1st Kenny K image. I have been admiring these images from afar but finally decided to get 1 coloured. I am so glad I did :-)

I coloured the image using Promarkers & added some silver Metallic Promarkers for detail. I then layered onto this gorgeous backing paper, punched the centre border & added some flowers & gems. The 50 was cut on my bug & I added some stickles to it for some extra bling lol!!

I carried the papers through to the inside of the card & added some more bling :-)x Clare x

Afternoon Everyone. I have finally got a card made! I have been so run off my feet recently but I made sure that I got some time today.

Today we are showcasing a fab image over at Daisy Doodles. This image will be half price for the next 2 weeks.  I think it is perfect for the weather we have had recently lol! Check out the challenge blog to see who is our Guest Designer.

I have used these fab papers that were freebies. The image was coloured with Promarkers. I have based my card on a sketch over at Cards & Things. I bugged the white circle & added some ribbon, gems & sentiment. x Clare x
