White Wedding Card

I have been asked to make a wedding card for a friend of mine and this is what I came up with.

 

 

I used Centura pearl card, which is white with a beautiful golden glimmer. I embossed a layer and enhanced it with Distress inks

I printed the sentiment on to white card and to use it as the focal point I die-cut it using a decorative die. 

 

This was added on top of more centura pearl card die cut using Spellbinders Morrocan border die, layered with white chiffon and gold ribbon, then decorated with large pearls. 

I made some rolled flowers added more pearls to the centers and die cut foliage from gold textured card and more centura pearl. Viola!! I am pleased with the finished card and decided to make a decorative candle to go with.

 

 

Hope you like them and thanks for looking.

What a cute little mousie...

Another beautiful, sunny day here in Newton, oh what joy!

My very pampered pooch has been for an extra long walk today, I couldn't help staying out and just soaking up the glorious weather.

And all this sun is inspiring me to make more spring/ Easter cards.

Heres my make today, yet another House Mouse, I can't get enough of these little cutie pies.

I coloured with Promarkers and layered on to some lilac card, which actually looks darker in the photo than in real life, its actually got a gorgeous golden glimmer, which doesn't show up at all in the pics. This was matted onto a yellow diecut circle and some free pattern paper from a magazine.

I embellished with a MS border and ribbon, four morroccan die corners, each with a gemstone, some flowers, die cut leaves and swirls and stamped sentiments.

I have to admit it is very busy, but I don't care I'm in a bright and bubbly mood. :)

Another Easter/ Spring card

I'd like to share a challenge card with you today, it was made to fit in with a number of challenges.

The first is Passion for Promarker - Animals theme challenge.

I decided to make an easel card today, but a fancy shaped one.

I used an XL frame Frilly #2 from Go Kreate to make my base card and also for the larger mats and layers. I used a butterfly pattern paper from stash not sure of brand.

I chose one of my favourite House Mouse spring stamps to colour with Promarkers, isn't it just adorable (mind you all HM are), and so easy to colour.

I stamped a sentiment, punched it out and layered it on a paper flower.

To hold the front cover up in the easel style, I punched a Martha Stewart border punch and layered up on green card with two lengths of ribbon in coordinating colours.

I made a couple of flowers using the same pattern paper and die cut some Spellbinder leaves and swirls.  

I am entering it into these challenges also...

Saturday challenge card

Good afternoon, I hope your having a wonderful Saturday.

Last night I put my paints away and got out my Promarkers and Copics. I stamped lots of House Mouse images and had a few hours colouring in. Love it, so relaxing. I been very busy today, taking the children to and fro their activities, doing the usual house work, washing, etc, etc, but

I've just managed to fit in making a quick card to enter some challenges. Here it is.....

I followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday, always a good idea if short on time, otherwise I sit swapping and changing the layout for ages.

I used this adorable HM image, coloured last night with Promarkers and Copics.

I layered up on green and pink card and used a backing paper from stash, edging all layers and edges with Forest Moss Distress ink 

I used a Martha Stewart border punch under the image and a sentiment from a House Mouse rubber stamp set. I finished off by layering up some flowers with a metal centre embellishment and some small plastic daisies and popped a gem stone in the centre of each.

Hope you like it.

Love hearts

Good morning all my wonderful crafty friends, I hope the sun is shining for you.

I would like to show you a few things I made for Valentine's Day, but forgot to blog about.

I am going to enter them into this months Joanna Sheen Challenge - Love is in the air.

This first one is a wooden heart, painted with a crackle background with a pretty painted butterfly, over embossed with a hologram embossing powder. Finished with a hand written cute sentiment.

I added 3 small magnets to the back and it now lives on my fridge door. 

The next two are wall hangings, which are layered up on both sides with lots of layered hearts. The pattern paper ruffle, on the top heart, was stamped and tinted on the reverse before using my edgeabilities to cut a fancy edge. They both look good which ever way around they hang.

After taking the photos I added another heart to the largest hearts with the wording 'Be mine', but you'll just have to imagine that. lol.

I really enjoyed making these two little heart hanging baskets, they are both filled with small handmade heart shaped soaps.

I used my nesties again to cut the heart shapes.

The edges of the black and white paper had black soot Distress ink applied to them.

Some paper flowers and roses were used to embellish the pink one. And I added a little glitter to the soaps, to give them a little more sparkle. You know how I love a bit of bling.

I thought that my daughter could give the pink one to my mum on Mothers Day.

I might do a tutorial on these if anyone is interested, they are really quick and easy, but look so cute.

I would like to enter these heart hangers into Scrappy frogs - die cut challenge

Thats it from me for now, catch up with you all soon.
