Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend

Oops late on parade tonight, completely forgot to post my card, which is for the challenge at Ooh La La Creations - Lots of Sparkle.  The image is a Debbi Moore Stamp, coloured with Copics, the bp is from  Papermania Capsule Collection, as is the ribbon. The flower, aurora crystal gems and matting card all come from my stash, the sentiment is computer generated and I added some Stickles Stardust to her bracelets and necklace.  The yellows all look different in the pic, but in real life they do all match, and the gems and Stickles do sparkle. The card is for a friend of my daughter and the only brief was it had to be yellow.

Many thanks for visiting

Bah Humbug!

Hi folks, back from my Christmas Fayre, didn't do too badly at all, I managed to make £54.50 after paying a tenner for my table, am quite pleased.  Especially as there were four or five of us with cards, admittedly most of the others were cards plus other stuff.

I have got a card and box to share tonight, it is for the Bah Humbug Challenge - Bags and Boxes

The first pic is the box for the easel card.  The images are from Debbie Moore's Magical Christmas and the backing paper is from her Regency CD, everything else came from my stash.  The sentiment on the card was computer generated, the one on the box from from the image sheet.  I actually sold this one and have an order for two more.

Off for an early night, will catch up on all your blogs tomorrow.
Thank you so much for visiting and your kind comments

Up Up And Away

Good Morning been awol for a few days, I've been really busy getting my cards bagged and tagged for the Christmas Fayre in our village on Wednesday night.  I have had a table there twice before, the first time I did really well, but the second time I only made just enough to pay for my table.  That was about 5 years ago, so thought I would dip my toe in the water again.  I want to make a couple of  boxed cards before Wednesday, because these have always gone down well. Sorry in advance if I don't manage to get round to commenting  this week.

Onto today's card.  It is for this weeks Less is More challenge - Silhouettes.  The image is an Heritage stamp which I found in a sale box at our only Craft Shop (25 miles away) a while ago and I have never used it.  The birds are Clarity and the balloon is punched.  The sentiment is a from a birthday greetings set by My Sentiments Exactly.

I hope you like my card and many thanks for visiting.

Two Cards, One Challenge

Hi Folks, my cards today are for this week's CD Sunday Challenge - Paisley Fun.  This had me well and truly stumped, I have a small paisly stamp and was going to make an image using that, but couldn't decide on a cd to use for a nice backing paper to go with it.  Then I discovered some paisly patterned paper that I have had almost as long as I have been making cards!  Next problem,  what image to use. I looked through my file of printed pics  from cds and couldn't find anything that fitted the colours of my paper.  This all took place yesterday!  This morning I remembered that my paisly stamp was from an Asian set of stamps I have had for years, which led me to look at Joanna Sheen's Eastern Treasures CD.  All problems solved.  Because the paisly paper is so in your face I decided to just use a strip of it with a co-ordinating paper, and ended up with two cards instead of one.

I hope you like them, and thank you so much for visiting and for the lovely comments.

Pink with a touch of green

Good Evening, my card to share today is for Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Inspired by the Princettia a plant especially bred for Breast Cancer Awareness.  I have taken the colours of  Pink and Green for my card.  The image is another Lynda Ravenscroft Fairy from the CardCreationsPlus cd, A Touch of Magic this is the Digitalis Fairy.  I have no idea about the backing paper it's a piece that I found in my printed box, the punched card is Papermania Shimmer and I used a Martha Stewart punch.

I hope you like my card and many thanks for visiting

Leaves

Good Morning, my card today is for the Less is More Challenge - Leaves on  a One Layer Card.  It's a very simple card as you can see, the leaves are from yet another acrylic stamp set that I have absolutely no idea of the manufacturer.  In fact I think it's the first time I have even used it.  I used Big n Juicy Foliage and the sentiment is from a Papermania set.

Sorry about the awful pic, but I used a pearlised card and it didn't take well to being photographed, even Picassa couldn't improve it that much.  The card is much smaller than usual because I ended up getting ink where there shouldn't have been any and as this was the fifth attempt at the card I decided just to cut off the inky bits instead of trying for a sixth time.  I hope to make a better card later in the week

Thank you so much for visiting and for all your good wishes and I am now feeling much better.

A Late Entry

Good Morning, sorry I've not been around this past few days, the Labrynthitis came back with a vengeance and it has taken a while for the pills to kick in.  I must say a huge thank you to Crafty Ann for my top 3 place on her challenge blog, I am thrilled to bits, especially as this is the third time.

I am posting a very quick and very late Christmas card for this weeks CD Sunday Challenge - Sunset.  The card with the backing paper has been sitting around since last Christmas, the paper is from the Artylicious Seasons Greetings cd.  I printed the image from Joanna Sheen's Thomas Kincade cd and made the topper last Monday, so all I had to do to make the card was add some gold ribbon from my stash, then stamp and emboss the sentitment from a Woodward Greetings set.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope to visit you all again very soon

Frosty the Snowman

Good Morning, my card today is for this week's Bah Humbug Challenge - Snowmen.  The image is from Judikins and I just love it, coloured with Promarkers and a little bit of sparkle.  I have no idea what the backing paper is, I found it in my Christmas scrap box, the image was stamped onto scrap white card and the snowflakes and stars were cut with a Cuttlebug die using the waste from the base card.  The sentiment is computer generated.

I am also entering my card into Jules Crafty Snippets

Less We Forget!

Today's card is for Rainbow Lady's Challenge - A Time To Remember With Poppies.  The image is from Chocolate Baroque, coloured with a mixture of Promarker and Copics, the backing paper is from Joanna Sheen's Jayne Netley Mayhew CD2.  The ribbon and gems are from my stash and I added some black glitter to the centre of the poppies.

Think perhaps I should have used a different red for the main image, I used the Poppy Promarker, but looking at it now it's seems a bit garish, still it's another card for the box

Fireworks

Well it's Less is More time again and this week is a colour challenge - Red and Orange as a tribute to bonfire night.  I have made two cards today, for the first one I used my Clarity Alium stamps, I picked these because the little stamp looks like rockets going off in the sky.  I used a Kaleidacolor Multi ink pad, Desert Heat, the colours range from orange to red, added some glitter then matted  onto some red scrap card, the sentiment is from Crafty Individuals.

The image for the second card is a Stampendous one, not sure what these flowers are, I used the Desert Heat inkpad again and another scrap of red card, not sure of the sentiment manufacturer the packaging went a long time ago

I am also entering my card into CraftyAnn's Challenge - Floral Frenzy

I hope you like my cards and many thanks for visiting.
