Fairy Wishes

Thought I'd share a card I made this afternoon.  I used the beautiful 'Ivy Fairy' from Delicious Doodles and using PSE5 I changed the colour and thought she'd look good in green, I added some sparkle with Spectrum Sparkle pens to her wings but it doesn't show in the picture. I printed her onto pale cream cs, matted onto green cs then mounted that onto slightly dark cream cs that has been embossed.  Cream organza ribbon topped off with an ivy corner die cut and finished with some green gems.

A Little Recycling/Re-Purposing

Just thought I'd share my latest project with you.  I keep my tablets in a little brown box that had a replacement printer head in it and I thought it was time it had a makeover! Well it might as well look good as well as being useful!  I used Deco patch papers and glue, Kraft cs and some other pieces of cs for the mats and die cuts.  The image is 'Spring Birdie' from TEW coloured with a mix of markers and everything had a final coat of deco patch glue before finishing off with some liquid pearls.

Nothing Wrong With Me ...

... That a little chocolate won't fix!  I bet there are a lot of us that can relate to that.  It was the starting point for my card share and its from The Paper Shelter - Tasty Signs collection and I teamed it up with 'A little bit grumpy' coloured with a mix of markers and sparkle pens.  Papers are digi kit called 'Life is a box of chocolates' by Stacey's Scraps (I've had it a LONG time!) I added die cut branches and a pennant and finished off with flowers, brad and card candi from my stash.

Missing You

Well the weather is lousy, cold, wet and very windy so perfect day to be in the craftroom creating! Over at TEW Facebook page there is a contest called 'I Heart You' so this is what I  came up with. The beautiful image is Aurora Heart Flower and I have coloured her with a mix of my markers. The Papers are Santoro and a little brown cs for the sentiment.  The image is mounted in a frame which I have then raised up on foam pads for a little extra demension.  The heart paper is glittered and I used a sparkle pen on the heart on her t-shirt.  I have to admit that I spent ages trying to add more to this, I tried flowers, gems, charms and all sorts but I just couldn't find anything so I felt it was better to leave it than add something that just didn't work!

Happy Mothers Day Take 2

Just sharing the card I made for MIL for Mothers Day.  No colouring!  I chose to die cut using the cricut to achieve a lattice background which is matted onto some green cs which has been embossed with a leaf pattern (new folder!) then I rolled plenty of roses using some pink papers and finished off with a stamped sentiment which is raised up using hot glue.  Quite simple but effective I think.

Happy Mothers Day

Yes I know that the day is almost over but had to be sure my card had arrived and this is the first chance I've had to actually upload it.  For this card I used the wonderful Diva Lisa Hmmm Cupcake from TEW, she is coloured with a mix of my markers and SN pencils and finished off with some SN Sparkle which doesn't really show that well in the pic.  I used some new papers that I got at the Range while I was visiting my Mum & Dad.  Papers are from a pad by DecoTime and are just called cardboard patterns with glitter.  I decided to do an easel card which I know my mum likes and as the challenge over at TEW is circles I went with a circle easel card!  On the top part I also embossed a decorative circle with a new folder I got at the same time as the papers (along with a few other bits! lol) added some green cs, a few punched hearts, some gem hearts and a pc generated sentiment and hey presto!

That's what I came up with but be sure to check out what my awesome teamies have been up to too, great inspiration.  Hope you'll find the time to join us.
