with a Tonic Layering die and attached to the card.

Add A Sentiment

Good Morning,

My Crafty Friends, Visitors  and Follower,

Hope everything is OK with you all?

Well can you believe its the last Monday of February
and with it being a leap year I wonder how many
ladies have been proposing to their loved ones?

Well all us ladies on the design team have been busy getting
cards ready for our latest  challenge, which  starts today over
 on the :-

  Ooh La La Challenge Blog # 199

The challenge theme is

Add A Sentiment -  The theme has been chosen by
yours faithfully me.

Jennifer

So its basically  anything goes as long as you add a sentiment
really nice and easy, so come on and join us.

I have chosen to use an image from the Boys to Men

 Cd  and this was my very first cd that I purchase
from Ooh La La quite a few years ago but its so
versatile and has some fabulous image for those
male cards that I know so many of us hate doing.

 It can be purchased, along with many more HERE.

The prize for the winner will be

2 digi downloads from the Ooh La La Creations Store

DETAILS

1. Using a  7 x 7 white card I matted it with navy card, then
over that was added a piece of blue paper with seagulls
on it ( from Craftwork cards paper pack).

2. Next I added another piece of navy card and then matted
this with the striped paper printed from the cd.

3. The image also from the cd was matted onto navy card
and them using foam pads adhered to the card.

4. The sentiment and quote also came from the same
cd. The quote  is as follows ( A real friend is someone
who walks in when the rest of the world walks out )

To complete I have just added a gold cord down the side.
So there you have it  using this cd I have created a very
 quick male card. (Told you its a good one to use)

Until Next Time
As Always
Take Care and Happy Crafting

Prize 2 Digi images from their store

The image I have worked with is from Oddball Art and
she is called Bonnie BookWorm and you can purchase her HERE.

DETAILS

1. Started with an 8 x8 card and round the corners, then with

paper from Craftworks Cards Ombre paper pad I die cut

the frame using Tonic Jasmine layering die set, also rounded

the corners.

2. The image has been coloured with Copic and still using

the same die set only a couple of sized down she was 

cut out. Before taking out of the die I distressed around

the edges with T.H. scattered straw distress ink.  Still

  with the same die I cut again out of white card and

 mounted the image onto it. It was then mounted onto

the card using foam tape.

3. I took white flowers from my stash and die cut two

flourishes.  Before they were adhered I used the

same ink to go around the edges of the flowers and

along the flourishes.

So there you go, the team are waiting eagerly to see

your designs.

Well that's all from me,

Until Next  Time

for me).

This one is a lovely challenge and really makes you stop

 Cd and it can be purchased, along with many more HERE.

The prize for the winner will be

2 digi downloads from the Ooh La La Creations Store

DETAILS

1. Using an 8 x 8 card I matted it with the backing paper taken
from the cd but before I adhered it to the card I wrapped a
piece of blue satin ribbon across the middle.

2. The Iris image also from the cd was then matted onto blue
card using foam pads to give that little bit of extra height.

3. The words were die cut using a Spellbinder die  and cut
out of blue card.

So there it it, my Clean and Simple card and I must say
I love it.

My card has been made using the image
Everyone Need A Hug, and what a joy it
was to colour this one just a gorgeous image.
If you would like to purchase, just click on
the link HERE

My take on the challenge theme was to use
the colour Purple and Gems as the embellishments.

DETAILS
1. Card size is 8 x 8 and I have matted this with purple paper
from my stash. To this I added the purple felt doily and
a heart doily. I added a piece of purple organza  across
the bottom.

2. The image was coloured with Copic and then die cut. Next
using the same die, I cut the backing frame from purple
card and then mounted the image onto it. It was then


3. The heart frame around the  image was done using a
Tattered Lace die (sorry do not know the name).
The words on the image were from the stamp set
Love & Romance from the Signature collection
by Sara Davies. The dots down the side were
made using a freebie stamp that came with the
Docraft Creativity magazine.

To complete the card I added purple gems at  one
corner, along the organza and in the centres of
the flowers on the felt doily.

So there you have it! I hope you come and join us
as we love seeing all the different creations that
manage to come up with.

1. Using white card I drew the tag shape and cut out twice.

I left the top of one the cards a little longer as this was

going the be folded over to create the hinge at the top.

and paste it three times and arranged around

the paper to create the background.

3. The image printed onto super smooth coloured

with Copic Pens and then I sponged over the

out onto super smooth card.

 stencil I inked around the image using various shades of pink
and yellow inks.

was then mounted onto the card using foam pads.

just amazing. If you want to purchase her just click

DETAILS

1. The card base is an 8 x 8 white card and I have rounded

all the edges.

2. The image was printed onto super smooth and coloured

             with Copic and using Archival inks I created the background.

(Getting there I think with the background colouring).

I then used an oval die to cut it out and adhered flat to

my card.

3. Using the same oval die I created the frame using black card

and rounding the corners before adhering to the card.

      4. I then took two sheets of green card that were slightly different

shades and with the fern dies from Tattered Lace die cut

all the ferns and then placed them around the frame.

So there you go, I must say I really like this card and

the image is just gorgeous even the little dragon is cute.
