Another male card!

As you may remember i was asked to make a few cards for a friend, she has given me a list of all her upcoming birthdays :-)

Well this was next on the list.  A boys birthday card.

I really struggle with boy cards, so this one took me forever!

The image is from Stamp Fairy and is coloured with promarkers, the balloons have glossy accents on them,

The papers were in my stash, i think the green one is from Dovecraft Back to Basics, i'm not too sure on the other 2!

The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and that's it!

Thanks for looking x

I'm Baaaack!

Hi everyone, 

Long time since i last blogged. So where have i been?

Well i stopped making cards for about a year and went onto Jewellery making, but then about 3 weeks ago someone asked me to make her some cards, so i thought OK i will give it a go and see how i feel.  I think i might have my mojo back! (touch wood)

I won't be making them religiously or putting myself under pressure to do them but i will do some for fun and a couple of orders i have.

Entries into challenges are below

Well anyway here are what i made:

First up is an Easter card, made using this Wee Stamps cutie, coloured with promarkers.

The paper is from Forever Friends Spring collection.

Next is a Mother's day card which here in the UK is on Sunday 10th March.

I used one of my favourite companies, Teddy Bo, I'm not too happy with my colouring but it is done using Promarkers.

The papers are Me To You and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Another Easter card here using this sweet image from Grandma Pearls blog ages ago.  Coloured with promarkers .

I'm not sure where the papers are from.

Clean and simple for the next one using this freebie from Stamp Fairy, coloured with promarkers.

And last but not least is this cutie from Di's Digis. Coloured with promarkers.  The paper is Forever Friends (i think) and Boofle (i think)

Well i hope you like my newest cards and it would be great to have some feedback.

Incy Wincy Designs - Distressing

This week at Incy Wincy we are sponsored by The Stampfairy for our distressing theme.  Now my regular followers will know i don't really 'do' distressed as i don't feel i can.  But here is my effort.

I have used this cute Bunny, she has been in my computer for ages and not been used so i thought i would use her today.  I coloured her with promarkers and Copics.

 Now another thing i don't really do many of is, Step cards, i never know what to do with the 'step' part lol.  I had to adjust this one slightly as i went a bit overboard with the flowers and it wouldn't stand up properly, so i added a slight bend and it was fine!  The flowers are from Crafty Emmas Store and Wild Orchid Crafts.  The heart beaded stem was from ebay (i think)

 The tag at the back is a Magnolia Doohickey.  The one at the front i have had in my stash for ages and i thought it worked well with this.  The Butterflies at the back are punched from a Tonic Studios punch.  The tiny butterflies (and they are soooo tiny!) are punched from a Woodware punch.  All the butterflies have glitter on them.

The papers are Magnolia Tilda, i have had them for ages and could have cried when i cut them, they are so pretty!  The lace is self adhesive and is from my local craft shop.

i would like to enter this into the following challenges:
