Damsel Fly

Good Afternoon, my card to share today is for my daughter's Goddaughter who is going to be 11 going on 19.  So cute would not be acceptable at all and I also left the number off!! So, I decided to go with bright and glittery, the backing paper is from a cover gift from Cardmaking and Papercraft, the corner image is another cover gift from the same mag coloured with Promarkers, the Damsel Fly is a Clarity stamp.  I stamped it twice, once onto white card, then onto sticky back acetate, and covered the back with cerise glitter from Debbi Moore, I think you can just about see the glitter in the pic. The sentiment is computer generated to which I added a shrink plastic version of the damsel fly.

I am entering my card into:
Make it Monday - Anything Goes
One Stitch at a Time - Anything Goes

Many thanks for visiting today and I hope you like my card.

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

Seeing Double

Good Afternoon, my card to share today is for this weeks Less is More - A One Layer Card - Seeing Double.  I have made two cards and both of them after many trials and tribulations that I won't bore you with, needless to say I now have lots of white card for stamping on!!  Both of these do have faults, but I am not wasting any more card today.  I am not totally happy with the words on the first card, and I discovered an inky mark on the second after I took the pic.  The bauble images are from Papermania, I coloured the first one with a Flexmarker and the second one with a Promarker.

 I didn't get the stamp in the right position for the second one so coloured a piece of white ribbon with the same Promarker to balance the card.  It also hasn't got a sentiment because my printer has started throwing up inky marks for some reason or other, so that wasted a bit more card.

I hope you like my card and many thanks for visiting

Less is More - Monogram

Good Evening, well it's that time of the week again.  When I first saw the topic for this week's Less is More Challenge - Monogram, my heart sank right down to my boots.  I have spent the afternoon going through all of my grandchildren's names trying to come up with an idea - then the light bulb went off.  My eldest grandchild is called Bethany, who is 16, and for quite a few years now has gone by the name of Bee, starting out with her mum just using the letter B when texting.  I did a quick google search and found the bee image and went to work with Craft Artist. I used Calamity Teen font and the colour picker to match the text with the bee's wings.  I printed the B and the bee then cut it to size and matted with some co-orinating Papermania textured cardstock and used a black pen to leave a trail.  The sentiment was printed directly onto the card.   I hope this is the kind of thing you are looking for Chrissie and Mandi.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like my card.

Less is More

Good Afternoon, my card today is for this week's Less is More Challenge - pick a square.  It has taken me longer this morning to pick a stamp that I liked than it has to make the card.  Dead simple, Penny Black image coloured with Copics, sentiment I think is from a Papermania set and the two coloured matts are both from Papermania'sw new cs range.

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