Incy Wincy Designs - Shaker cards!

This week at Incy Wincy we would like to see your shaker cards!  I have only ever made 1 of these before!

 

We are sponsored by the wonderful Karen Doodles who have kindly given the design team so images to use.

I coloured with promarkers and pencils.  The card blank is from Craftwork Cards and is called Top Notch.  The papers are all First Edition, (i think from the Summer Breeze pad)  The gems were all from my stash.  I know it is quite plain but i didn't want to 'over do it'.

5 Card Orders! - Warning LONG POST!

A few months ago a friend asked me to make her 5 cards for her 3 children' christening, which is today (i hope it all goes well) She wanted 3 for the godparents and 1 for her mum and 1 for her nan, for doing the food.  After a few ideas flown back and forth these are what i came up with. 

As they were thank you cards, i thought i would go for a more thank you image rather than christening image. Before i say anything else PLEASE forgive me for the bad quality photos! (only another 6 days till my birthday Graham! (that's my hubby lol))

All of the writing says  "ANGEL, BAYLEE AND ADEN WOULD LIKE TO SAY"

This first card is using Teddy Bea.  She is coloured with promarkers and pencils and then cut out.  The papers are from First Edition (i think, although i am not sure which range!) The card blank is from Craftwork Cards.  The gems were in my stash with the ribbon.  The flowers are a mixture of Wild orchid crafts, Crafty Emmas Store and Mulberry Crafts.

OH what a naughty blogger i have been!!!

Last week my husband took me off to Portugal for our 7th Weddding Anniversary and as it was all last minutes, i didn't blog some of the cards that were due, so i am very sorry for any inconvinience, but i will try to catch up now, so first of all is SEW MANY CARDS

The challenge set on Friday was a Recipe using Blue, Ribbon, Die cut and 3 round buttons, now i never got round to this card, but please go and enter.  Also on Friday SMC introduced their new PJ Pals!  They are sooo cute, i have used KEIRA.

She is coloured with Promarkers mounted onto a nestie oval.  The backing paper is Papermania Capsule.  The ribbon and tag were in my stash.  The butterfly is punched from a Tonic Studios punch.  The flowers are mounted onto dark pink paper flowers.

Next up is THE CRAZY CHALLENGE.  The theme there this week is SUMMERTIME but again i didn't get round to that card either although our new DT members really stepped up and created some gorgeous cards!  Be sure to check them out.

Next is INCY WINCY DESIGNS.  This week our very own Hev did us a sketch to follow for our challenge which is sponsored by Dustin Pike this week.  The DT were given some yummy cupcake images to use and here is what i came up with:

(please excuse the photo, my camera is still playing me up!)

I coloured this gorgeous cutie with promarkers and mounted her on to a nestie that i inked with some pumpkin coloured ink!  The papers are from First Edition's Hideaway collection.  And the flip flop charm was part of 12 from a £1 shop!!

Also this week, you may have noticed i haven't posted an Incy Wincy card?  This is because i am a donut and did a card for a challenge coming up in 3 or 4 weeks!!!  But please pop over to both challenge blogs to see the wonderful work the DT's have done.
