What a cutie!

Hey!

Eeeeee i'm so excited!!! Just seen i've reached 200 followers... yippeee! I'll be back with a bit of celebration candy at some point in the near future, so watch this space :)

Now, here's a card i've made for my aunties birthday which is on halloween. The image is one i've just bought from Mo's Digital Pencil, and i've coloured her with promarkers. I used free papers from Summer Time Designs, which i disressed and brushed paint over. Then i made some flowers from tissue paper, stamped with swirls, and brads, and coloured them with promarkers, and added lace, pearls and glitterglue.

Isn't she cute?! I've coloured her with promarkers:

Cat & shoes - Cool grey 1, 2, 3 and 4 + blender

Skin - dusky pink, pastel pink, ivory

Hair - terracotta, spice, apricot, pastel yellow, ivory
Cloaky thing - cool grey 2, sandstone, satin + blender

Hey!

Some of you may remember my pumpkin obsession last year, and i have to admit that it's back!!! I know it's still ages away from halloween, but mum bought me a pumpkin to play with, and so play is what i did!

Last year, i used templates from the internet, but this time i've had a go at making my own from a photo. This is the result...

All of the edges are distressed with scissors, and lightly inked with walnut stain. And then i finished it with 'star dust' stickles, pearls, and papermania gems.

Heart of gold - wedding/anniversary card

Hiya

Here's a card i've made for one of mum's work friends, for her wedding in a couple of weeks.

The cardblank was already embossed with the flowers, but i cut it down as it was A5 sized, and i wanted it smaller. I inked the edges with antique linen distress ink, and embossed lines around each edge, then made a heart shape from x-cut punched flowers, and added perfect pearls and glitter glue to the centres, then finished it with a couple of white pearls.

I need a bit more practice with perfect pearls, so don't look too close!

Vintage Candle

Hey!

Here's a candle which has been sat on my desk waiting to be decorated for about a month, so i thought it was about time. I bought the Personal Impressions stamp at a car-boot sale yesterday and just had to use it for this. It is stamped onto tissue paper with 'walnut stain' distress ink, heated onto the candle, then finished with some 'star dust' stickles.

I'm entering it in Stampin for the weekend - shabby or vintage

Hiya

Yey!... the internet works :D

I've remade the card i made a weekish ago, in purple and pink, so it's made quite a nice set (if i do say so myself!)

I used Papermania scalloped cardstock, linen effect cardstock, x-cut punch, nellie snellen die, ribbon, Anitas gems and distress inks.

Back to simplicity...

Hiya

Todays card is very similar to this one, that i made a while back. I really liked the layout and colours, so have kept them the same, but changed the embellishments to make it a bit different.

I've used Papermania scalloped cardstock, white linen effect cardstock, x-cut punched flowers, Nellie Snellen ribbon slider die (from the ovals set), white ribbon coloured with my 'sandstone' promarker, and Anitas gems. The edges are lightly inked with walnut stain distress ink.
