Hi to all, hope everyone is safe and well wherever you are. My card is a creation using Krista's 'fancy' digi image which was given away so freely..really kind lady!!! I've a little collection of the ones as freebies tucked in a file and come in so handy. Coloured with Promarkers, using a Go Kreate frilly die, fabulous luscious satin ribbon from a win over at Allsorts blog from The Pretty Little Ribbon shop..lovely variety of colours in a beautiful bundle wrapped in pink tissue paper..so many many thanks..it may take me a while to get through them. Pearls from Meiflower..love those too. Bit of doodling round the shapes to bring it together..top sentiment from Elzybells (sadly no more).

 

bit of stamping across the freebie d/load paper (top lilac from Bearly Mine, bottom green from Shabby Princess).

 

 

Sentiment from Elzybells

 

So I'm sorry for the quality of pics today, it's got dark really quickly and have only got a spare moment to do this. Challenges entered are 10.. .Poodles Parlour 2nd 'anyhting goes' as are Stampin for the weekend, Paperplaytime, Fashionistas week 2, Bearly Mine, Stamptacular sunday 'not just ordinary card', Creative card Crew 'fancy folds', Charisma 'son't be square' CRAFT ( won some gorgeous d/loads, thankyou) they've got '1 image, 2 papers, 2 flowers..mmmmm oops think I forgot those and sentiment' and last but not the least Saturated Canary 'shaped card'. This card and some others I've made will be posted out to the lovely Krista to take to the hospital she'll be visiting in December. Will get those out tomorrow so they'll have plenty of time to get there. That's all for now, hoping for another cardmaking session soon.

Good afternoon all. Today we have mist in the air and less of the fog..not too cold but perhaps cold enough for these hedgies to go into hibernation. He's a real cutie, was free with a magazine and from County Companions. Coloured with Promarkers (can you tell I'm still experimenting), lots of embossing, gold mirri card with a piece of ribbon, chalking slightly on the edges of the card and a string bow with slight dusting of glamour dust on his fur/spikes.

 

Only a small number of challenges entered..Charisma 'clean & simple', Papertake 'glitter & sparkle', LIM 'autumn', Nutcrafters 'round & round', and House of Gilli 'emboss it'. Have a fab middle of the week!

Hi, yes I'm on a bit of a roll with my creations especially as I've 2 children (girl & boy) who are expecting a little hand made treat for Halloween..we don't really celebrate it but wouldn't stop the kiddies having their bit of fun. So this is the male version of a treat bag to go with the girl one made a couple posts down. Made out of 2 sheets of A4, I found this one much easier and quicker to make..I think it's all down to experience. Cat and pumpkin digi image from here, ghost digi's resized from here, a bit of white sakura pen art for cobwebs, embossing just like the girl one, tag made from Studio G mini stamps.

 

sides embossed too

Hi to all, it feels so much like Autumn today but I've a birthday card to cheer everyone up. Would you believe these backing papers are Summer Driggs latest Autumn freebie..for some reason they came out of the printer looking very much ike a blue instead of brown..I don't know why???? I'm still pondering that one ..they were too good to waste away to the bin so I inked the edges with my cinnamon Promarker pen and brought them to life just a little bit. Hope you like what I've made, ticket sentiment I used as a tag from here, cute stamped image from Sparkle Rubberstamps called 'celebrating Chloe' with walnut stain distress. Phlox flower die, scrap of lace and pearl from stash. Not forgetting the paper piecing on her dress.
