Guest Dt card for Quirky Crafts

Good evening everyone and Happy Easter to all.

I hope the Easter bunny was kind and brought plenty chocolate eggs. My two kiddies enjoyed an egg hunt and found loads of eggs and even a couple of knitted bunnies and chicks that had been placed all around the house.

Now to tell you about my card...

I won a challenge over at Quirky Crafts and they asked me to be a guest designer for this weeks challenge, can you guess the theme of the challenge? 

Yes your right! its The Royal Wedding

As you can see, I used a line drawing of a famous photo of the loving couple and I coloured it with Copics, ( I must apologise to Kate for messing up the colouring on one side of her face).

I layered paper, card and flowers, and used card candy all from Craftwork Cards and some ribbon from stash.

I printed off some union jack bunting in a small size to finish off.

Something completely different, hope you like it.

Sophie's birthday



Here's a commissioned card I have just made for a friend of mine's daughter. As you can see she will be 9 next month and her name is Sophie. I hope I'm ok posting it, I dont think she will see it on here.
I followed Debbies sketch over at Cute Card Thursday challenge. As I was asked to include her name and age on the card, I decided to make an easel design.
The papers are from Papermania Summer Bloom pad.

I coloured Willow Dancing using Copics. This was the nearest I could get to blonde, as the little girl who this is for has lovely blonde hair and I wanted to make it look like her.

I used swirl die cuts and flowers to finish the front detail. 

For the base panel I used the same papers, stamped and embossed her name with Mothers Day Pink powder. I finished it with holographic pink peel off borders and pink pearls.

Here's a view from the side to show the Easel design.

Love mom..

Good morning, its the weekend, hooray.

Here's the card I made for the Sugar Bowl challenge #53. This week was a sketch by Marlene and a picture inspiration

I used just one patterned paper and white card that I embossed in my cuttlebug.  I cut the corners with a die and put one in each corner, as my circle was a bit small and I thought there was too much blank space. Everything was edged with a soft brown ink.

I coloured this beautiful young lady's clothes with Prisma pencils, as my blue copics were too dark. As usual I used Copics on her hair and skin.

I printed out the heart mom sentiment and embossed a heart shape around it before cutting it out and inking the edge.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the satin ribbon and pearls from stash.
