Lilac paint fusion card

Good morning all!

Here's my 1st try at the Paint Fusion Lilac stamps

I painted this on some Centura card, so it has a lovely glimmer in the background and I lightly inked the edges, then matted on to lilac card. Before I layered this on to the dark blue card I stamped the lilac stamp around the edge of the blue card using versamark and then again with white Staz on.

All I did to make it into a card was cut two border strips with a Martha Stewart punch and glued them down the sides of a folded A4 centura pearl card, stamped a sentiment and added a ribbon bow, two lilac rosebuds and two pearl headed pins, and three gems on the opposite corner.

I am entering this into the Paperplay - For a Mother challenge.

The Stampman - spring colours

Crafty catz - I spy, something beginning with B - bow

Fab n funky - green blue white

I did try out the fuchia stamps, but not on card, on the front cover of a notebook, so I am waiting for it all to dry then I can put the book back together. So I'll show you that once its all finished.

Thanks for looking

Tatty bye

How does your garden grow

Yet another image from the Moments in Time stamp range. After water colouring the image I used a little Flower Soft on the grass.

The edge was punched using a Martha Stewart punch and the card was finished with ribbon, flowers and charms. Not sure which DP I used, its probably one of the K&Co range.
I would like to enter this in to the Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge - #77

Baby boom

Today I have made 2 new baby cards, one is for the very talented illustrator Alison Acton and the other is for one of my neighbours.

The first one is going to be sent to Alison and I am entering it into a special Whiff of Joy Candy Challenge.

I used an A4 piece of pearl blue card, which I cut down into a square card.
I used the extra piece as a wrap around the center and to hide a congratulations message. I coloured this cute Penny Black image with Promarkers.

The papers were free with a magazine and I finished it off with a pull bow ribbon, a button and a couple of charms.


The one for my neighbour is very similar using the same image and patterned papers. This one however is just a plain square card, that I covered with some paper that I painted myself using Starburst Stains from the Stampman. I followed the sketch on the Penny Black Challenge, although I did flip it. I used a Martha Stewart punch to create a layered look and finished with a flower, button and charms from stash.

The Sugar Bowl Challenge 4 - One!

Over at the Sugar Bowl the challenge this week is to use only one patterned paper. The one I chose is 'I think' K & Co, it was an odd sheet I found so not sure. This image from the Sweet Art Ebony collection - Postbox, has been coloured using Marvy Le Plume pens and a little gelly roll pen to add a touch of glitter. As with most cards I make at the moment, I used my doily punch from the Martha Stewart range to make a border across the bottom, (can't you tell its my new toy of the moment). A stamped sentiment held on with brads and layered flora doodles to finish off.
