Rugby

Good Evening, my card to share today is for a young rugby fan and player.  The image is from Just Inklined's  The Next Big Thing cd and is a ready coloured image.  The  flag is from a Scottish Clear Stamp Set by Woodware, the backing paper is a freebee from the very talented Jak Heath, I finished off with some card candy and a computer generated personalisation.

I am entering my card into this week's challenge at Make it Monday

I hope you like my card and many thanks for stopping by.

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

Anything Goes

Good Morning, my card today is for this week's challenge over at Less is More - Week 33, 1000 Challenge - Anything Goes.  I have used a Creative Expressions Christmas Tree stamped with Stazon Forest Green, I used a Spectrum Noir pen to add some shadow and then glittered with  a glue pen and crystal glitter.  The sentiment is from a Christmas selection by Woodware, I bought these stamps last year and never used them. The matting card and gems are from my stash

I am also entering my card into Crafyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge - Glitter. My glitter doesn't show up very well, but it is there

Many thanks for visiting

Back Again!

Hi folks, sorry I have been awol for quite a while, I haven't been feeling too well for about three weeks, but this morning I suddenly started to feel much better and back to normal. Here is my card for this week's Bah Humbug Challenge, which is embossing.  I have used the Lace Christmas Tree folder and added some gold beads and the Swiss Dots folder.  I have used my new inverted circle punch by Woodware on each of the corners, where I have added some more gold beads, something I learned from Irene.  The base card and embossed card is Quartz Stardream which is a very pale ivory in real life and I have matted onto Mars Stardream, which is dark red.  The text is computer generated and printed onto the Stardream and I quickly added gold ep to heat emboss and then matted onto gold mirror card.  Sorry the card's a bit dark couldn't get a very clear picture and the scan took all of the colour out of it completely.

Thank you for stopping by and for any comments that you may wish to make.  I appreciate every one of them.

Guest Designer

I was recently honoured to be invited to be Guest Designer for March and April for Ooh-la-la Creations.  To say that I am thrilled is an understatement.  This is my card for this fortnight's challenge which is Freestyle - Anything Goes.  The image is from the Ooh-la-la Creations Teentastique CD.  I have matted the image onto dark green Cordinations and gold mirror card, the papers are from Cuddly Buddly and also matted onto gold mirror. The central strip is a co-ordinating green from Coredinations and punched both sides with my Martha Stewart Lace Doily punch.  The flowers are from my stash and were white until I coloured them with a green Copic pen and the pearl brads are from Papermania. The leaves were punched from some scraps in my box using a Woodware punch.

Do go along to the challenge blog and take a look at the great cards made by the DT,  I am really looking forward to visiting your blogs to see your interpretations of the challenge.  I hope you like my card.

Almost a challenge

This card has taken me about three days to make, it's for my grandson's 5th birthday. I kept changing my mind on the layout. I tried a few sketch challenges and nothing seemed to work. In the end it almost resembles Sketch Saturday No.60, but I digressed a bit so not sure if it is acceptable now. The bp's are all downloads from Funky Fairies, the dark cs came from my craft box, the stamps are from the Woodware Pirate set, and the matts are Nestie labels. I coloured in using Promarkers, the name and numbers are from a 'bug alphabet. I hope you like my card and thank you for visiting, your continuing support is greatly appreciated. Beryl x

3 in 1

My card today is for three challenges, Firstly for Sketch and Stash No.5, My Time to To Craft which this week is for Hats and finally for Rainbow Lady who gave us a recipe. White Card, One Stamp, Handmade Flower or Two, Ribbon, Peel Off Corners or Borders and the colours Red, Blue and Silver. I do hope Cynthia is feeling forgiving today because my hand made flowers aren't truly hand made, I couldn't find my punches, so I stamped the flowers onto shrink plastic, coloured and cut them. The stamp is an Elusive Images one which I got from the Graphicus Sale. I have coloured the lady with a mixture of Inktense pencils and Promarkers. The ribbon and peel off borders came from my craft box, the text is from a Woodware set and the papers are from the new craft magazine. The ribbon looks a bit pale in the pic, but it shows up quite well in real life. Thank you for visiting my blog today and also for the comments you leave - they are truly appreciated. Beryl x
