Friday Sketchers

My card today is for Friday Sketchers. The Papers are from Cardmakers Christmas Pad. The image is a Judikins stamp from Stamp Addicts. It can't be seen in the photo but I have used Kaleidoscope ep and it has turned the blue ink into some amazing colurs, especially when the light hits it. I hope you like it.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Beryl x

Ready Steady Craft Recipe

My card today is for the Papertake Weekly Challenge which is a Ready Steady Craft Recipe - one ribbon, two rectangles and three small round embellishments. I have used Joanna Sheen's Messy Rabbit for the image, and coloured him in with watercolour pencils. The papers are from the Cardmaker's Christmas Pack. The ribbon and the flowers are from Poppicrafts and the little gems are from my craft box. I'm not sure if I like this as I think it is a bit too green. Thank you very much for visiting my blog and I appreciate all the comments left. Beryl x

Christmas Flourish

Today's card is very simple, but I think it's very effective. The card is made with a dark blue card teamed with pale blue paper from the Cardmakers Christmas Pack. The stamp is from Christmas Flourish from Glenda of Graphicus. I just love the swirls on this stamp. I used the Versamark pad to stamp the image and then Judikins Silver Twinkle ep and added a small peel off text. I hope you like it and many thanks for dropping by. Beryl x

A couple of cards for today

The first of my two cards has co-ordinating papers from my Cardmaker's Christmas Pad and the stamped image is from Glenda's Christmas Flourish Stamp Sheet. I stamped it in blue Stazon and then added some Stickles to make it sparkle. The ribbon came from Poppicrafts.

The second one is a fun card. The image is a Penny Black stamp which I stamped in Black Versafine and then coloured with Promarkers. The paper is from DCWV Christmas Stack and the flower came from Poppicrafts.

These cards were made a few days ago and are part of my pile of Christmas cards which is slowly beginning to grow. I hope you like my cards and thank you for visiting and also for the very kind comments you leave, please come back soon. Beryl x

A second card today

My second card today is for Sketch Saturday's Sketch No.25 and also for Papertake Weekly's challenge Let it Snow! For this card I have used Flower Soft for the very first time. I have used black on the penquins and then dotted some glue and added ivory to simulate snow. I am not very happy with the result, I think I need to go back to the drawing board with the penquins. The backing paper came from my Cardmakers Christmas Pad and the white card was dusted with a blue Cosmic Shimmer. One piece of card was then Cuttlebugged using the snowflake folder. Thank you very much for visiting my blog. Beryl x

My First Messy Rabbit

My card today is for Sketch Saturday's Sketch 21. I have used Baggy Jumper from the Messy Rabbit range of cards from Joanna Sheen. The backing papers are from the Cardmakers Christmas Pack, and the flower is from my stash, I think it's Papermania. This is the first time I have put a card on display that I have watercoloured. I used Daler-Rowney watercolour pencils which were a gift last Christmas. I hope you like my card and many thanks for taking the time to stop by. Beryl x

Two Challenges

This is my second card today and it is for two challenges. Arty Girlz which is for 'red' and a great sketch for Papertake Weekly. The card is a very simple one made with mirri gold card and a warm red paper from Cardmakers Christmas Pad. The stamp is one of the Elusive Images unmounted plates from Graphicus that I bought a couple of years ago. I have used metal leaf for the first time, it is the oxidating red one. Before I stamped the image I stippled the white card with a warm red ink in order to tone down the bright white card. I hope you like this card and if you would like to leave a comment, many thanks.
