Bling

Good Evening, my card to share today is for this week's challenge at CD Sunday - Bling It Up.  The image is from Debbi Moore's Summerbreeze CD, the ovals were cut with a Marianne Creatable Die and then embossed with a Cuttlebug folder, the cs is Papermania, the bp was a free download from Craft Creations, all the gems came from my stash and the flowers are from Wild Orchid.  It doesn't show up very well, but I have glittered her dress, a la Debbi Moore, with my Quicking Glue Pen and a pot of glitter.  I am also entering my card into Sweet Sketch Wednesday - Sketch 112, and Crafty Ann's Challenge - Summertime...and the living is easy.

Dreams

Good afternoon, recently I had a very productive spell and managed to take pics of all the cards I had made.  Which is good because I have a load of card pics in a folder that have never been on my blog and am now able to enter into an occasional challenge whilst not being able to craft easily at the moment.  Once again a very short post, as I am spinning around a bit, I tried to watch the Grand Prix earlier - not a good idea! 

My card  is for this week' CD Sunday Challenge - Dreams.  The image comes from Joanna Sheen's Enchanted Dreams CD, I love the images on this one.  The full size bp is from an different image on the same CD, but I took it into a graphics programme and lightened it.  The offset bp is Cuddly Buddly, the butterflies are a Cuttlebug cut and emboss set and were cut from some card painted with very cheap Tesco pearlescent paint, the ribbon was coloured with a Promarker and the ribbon slide came from Wild Orchids. 

Thanks for stopping by

From my Scrap Box

Good Morning, my card to share today is for Sketch65 over at Sketch and Stash.  The new items on my card are the flowers, they arrived from Wild Orchids on Monday, everything else is from my scrap box. I found a forgotten piece of square gold mirri with the bp already stuck onto it and that decided the rest of the card.  I think the bp is from Card Creations+ Art Deco cd but am not absolutely certain. The image is Willow Designs and was sitting already coloured  with Copics in my toppers box., the matting and corners are from a scrap of CraftyAnn's Polished Marble bp. Not sure what the cuttlebugged card is, I just found it in a little basket  filled with embossed bits. Isn't it surprising what you can find in the various boxes and tubs that we all have sitting around our crafting space.

CD Sunday

Good Morning Fellow Bloggers.  My card today is for The CD Sunday Challenge, which this week is Days Gone By.  I have made an easel card using an image and matching papers from Joanna Sheen's Victorian Companion CD.  I have matted everything onto some burgandy cardstock, which I found in one of my stash boxes.  I have managed, for the very first time, to use Aged Mahogany Distress Ink around the edges of the paper.  I usually make an awful mess of this technique, so I am quite pleased with myself.  I have a real problem with cut and dry foam, so I tried Judikins Colour Dusters and they worked.  The lace and pearls are from Wild Orchids Crafts and the rose spray is from Joanna Sheen.  The card is for my neighbour's birthday and I still have to personalise it, this will be on the empty side of the base.

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

Rock On

Over at Crafty Ann's this week the challenge is a recipe: a digital main image, up to 3 colours, 3 flowers and 1 ribbon.  I have used shades of brown which I hope will count at one colour, pink and some silver matting.
The image is Rock Chix from Sandra's Dry Digi-Stamps coloured with Derwent Colour Soft pencils, the ribbon was white and I coloured it using a brown ProMarker, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, bp is Cuddly Buddly and the sentiment is from Crafty Individuals.  I finished off with three brown brads.

I hope you like my card and many thanks for visiting today and for the lovely comments you leave.

When April Showers come your way.....

For my second offering of the day my card is for Rainbow Lady's Challenge, which this week is April Showers.  I have used Willow with Umbrella from Whiff of Joy coloured with Copics and some stickles on the rain drops.     The bp is all Funky Fairys backed onto silver mirror board from my stash.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the dark green cs is Coredinations and the sentiment is computer generated.  I am also entering my card into the Cute Card Thursday Challenge, which this week is a sketch.

Thank you for visiting once again and for the lovely comments you leave.
