Christmas in July

Hello to you all!
I know I haven't been blogging for a while but I have still been crafting. I have made quite a few cards but haven't had time to put them on the blog but will endevour to try and catch up. Promise!  For sraters here is my card for my DT challenge over at In2crafting blog - Christmas In July

At first I was unsure if I could get in the mood for christmas as it was so hot outside, but then when I started to colour the stamped image it all began to come together. The background paper was Craft Creations Christmas Scroll and on the band across the back was brayered with one of Woodwares rollers using Versamark ink. The image (Snoesjes HM9411) was stamped with Memento black ink onto a tag I cut myself, and coloured in with Promarkers. I distressed the edges with Antique Linen and stamped some florish patterns. The Poinsettia Creatables are new dies out by Marianne Designs (LR0122) one of two dies .I used the smallest flower and cut twice then sanded the surface to make the veins pop. I also sponged a little black on the points to bring a 3D feel to the petals. Then I added two green scrolls to the flowers using a Marianne Creatable Florish Die (LR0119) one of three designs. Why not hop on over to In2crafting and have a go at this months challenge, good luck. xx

July Sketch

 Hello everyone today I thought I would show you a card I have made for the design team sketch over at In2crafting for the July challenge. It was my turn to choose the sketch so this is what I came up with. The papers are Basic Grey and matted with warm coloured card stocks pink and brown. I punched the band across the middle both sides with Marther Stewart edger "Hydrandga"  and stuck small glitter dots in the center of the flowers. The stamp is by Marianne and is coloured with Promarkers. I'm also entering it into a couple of challenges

Hope you hop on over to In2crafting and have a go at this challenge for yourself. xx

Recipe

I'm Baaacckk!

Hi again, I have two more cards to show you today, this one I have made for a recipe challenge from I Love Promarkers - 1 Ribbon, 2 Different Papers and 3 Buttons

I coloured this lovely stamped image from Whiff of Joy with the Promarkers, backed it with some co-ordinating card stock and glittered paper.

This second card has been made for my eldest son as he will be 19 on Saturday, so I used this other Whiff of Joy stamp that I recently got. I cased this wonderful card design from their web site gallery as it was perfect for Perry's birthday.  

                                       

Acetate

Good morning!
Isn't it a beautiful one! Now i'm off work for a couple of days I have a little time to enter some blog challenges. So my first one is this

Bah! Humbug - Acetate

The card is one I had designed for an acetate class back in December last year. I cut two square panels of acetate and joined them with a folded piece of Bazzill card stock, the front panel was embossed firstly with the snowflakes cuttlbug folder and edged with white Staz-On ink to give definition. I then used an Olly Fant clear stamp and coloured with Promarkers. I hope you Like xx
