Tilda


My friend Lesley sent me some stamped tilda images - so thank you Lesley ! So I've had fun playing ! The background paper of this card is DCWV Nana's kids - nice and bright. I then coloured the image in with watercolour pencils and glittered the wings and hat. A little bit of ribbon (just for Andrea Smile ) and some teeny weeny brads finish the card off.

Wow Dom


Dominic my middle son made his Fathers
Day card yesterday Smile I think I might have some competition here!!! He chose all the bits to go on it. I only help a little bit - he would probably say I interfered Lol

Father's Day





At last I've got round to making a card for my Father in Law for Father's Day. I used a Stamper Anonymous stamp for the bird (I have been looking for this stamp for ages!) I then used a plain black slide mount and put some printed acetate behind it. I then found some white chipboard letters but I of course wanted black! So I took my black stazon pad and pressed the letters into it - this has left a pattern on the letters that looks a bit like linen so I left them ! I added a big manly brad and some glossy accents ( which you can see hasn't dried yet but I'm very impatient!)

Maggie


I stamped "Maggie with a Bow" from "Bootiful Stampz" with black stazon. Then watercoloured her in and added a gem to the flower in her hair. I then stamped the "once upon a time by Heidi Grace. Ribbon was then passed through two eyelets. And a large flower added with a checked brad.

Naughty Card


A birthday card made with the same stamps as the atc. For this card I embossed the edges of some DCWV card and the edges of the tag. I stamped the prima with spots. I have added a name to the card but I did this after I took the photo so the person doesn't know it's for them Dumb

Wicked


An atc today I inked the background with destress inks. I then stamped the skull with brown stazon and coloured the roses with white and green sakura gelly roll pens. I then stamped the words in brown distress ink. A big eyelet and a grungeboard crown that has been guilded finish the atc off!

Clearly Pretty


Allison's Challenge this week is to use acetate. So I made an acetate cover for this card. I stamped with brown stazon and added stickles over the leaves. I then covered the card with Martha Stewart paper and stamped the quote. Another appearance by my sparkly acrylic blobby spots. Unfortunately the acetate doesn't show up very well but it really is there - honest!

Pick a Pocket or Two!


For this card I cut a pocket out of plan card and stamped it with the words and stars in blue stazon and added hand drawn stitched around the edge in blue pen and added gems. i then mounted the pocket onto the checked paper.
I made a tag with the sizzix and stamped it with a checked stamp in blue stazon then stapled on a yellow ribbon.

Golden Leaves


Todays card was made inbetween building four sets of shelves! So I made something pretty. I used DCWV old world stack again only pink this time (sorry Linda!) I then stamped Hiedi Grace leaves with brown stazon and then I embossed the same leaves in gold but not exactly over the top of the brown - if you can understand me!!! I then stamped the quote in stazon and cut some of the leaves so that the quote could be slid under them. I finished it off with ribbon and sticky acrylic sparkly blob things Lol

Variation on Two Themes


I stamped two background so instead of doing what I normally do which is leave one lying around for weeks! I thought I'd make another card mixing my butterfly theme with this new lay out theme - if you get what I mean!! Smile So on this one I added a butterfly and a different quote and a bit of silver krylon pen around the quote.
So which one does everyone like best??

Remembering


For this card I used DCWV old world stack paper . I stamped it with Stampers Anonymous stamps in brown stazon and walnut stain distress ink. To finish it off I used brads and some brown ribbon.

Thank You!


My sons friend brought some Oreos into
school yesterday for us Smile 2 big packs - yum so I made a card to say thank you. I used a Lisa Bearnson kit but I played with the flower and used stickles and glossy accents to make it even prettier! The thanks was cut a quickutz revolution.

2 Already!!


A pretty card for a 2 year old girl ! The name and number have been cut on my cricut then I matted shadows of holographic mirror card onto them. The card looked very bare with just the number so I cut a little girl and bear out with a sizzlit die. Card was finished off with pretty pink jewel brads.
