I have again made two cards for this challenge 

(I am covering for one of our team ladies for the time being)

Both images are from Karleigh Sue .

Details

CARD 1

1, Using an 8 x8 card I punched out the border using a Tonic punch
and attached it the side of the card before matting with blue card
that had been embossed using a Sheena Douglas embossing folder.

2. I used a Tattered Lace corner die and cream card stock to make
the corners and adhered them to the card.

3. The flourishes are by Tonic and again have been cut using
cream card.  The sentiment is also by Tonic and once cut
I distressed the edges with blue Pan Pastels. Although its
not showing very well I have also gone over all the  die
cuts with the same blue Pan Pastel.

        4. The image is  Listen Hunny and you can purchase by clicking HERE
I have coloured her with Copic and then mounted her using
foam pads onto a paper doily.

CARD 2

1. Used an 8 x8 card and I have created a side border using my
Woodward Edge Cutter

2. Next layered up with yellow checked card stock and I
rounded the corners before adhering to the card. Also I
added white ribbon before the layer was attached to the
card.

3. The image was printed out and then die cut using the
SB die Card Creator 5 x 7 ~Mystical Embrace. She
was then coloured with Copic. The image is named
Bikini Season and you can purchase her HERE

There you have it!

Good Morning, My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

How are we all this Friday morning, Yes Friday already, looking forward

to the weekend? Lets hope the weather keeps up.

Quickie post today as off the mums to do the domestic chores and

won't be home until this afternoon.

Something a little different from me today, be kind!!

DETAILS

1. Using a fancy edged white card blank I matted  it with

dark blue patterned  card ( I know it look like black card

but trust me it's not)

2. On a piece of craft card I created the background  colours

with brushes and a combination of Adirondack Light

Aqua, Cool Peri, Salmon and Pin Sherbert.

3. Next using Tim Holts distress Vintage Photo I stamped the

tree, birds and the sentiment, ( The true meaning of life is to

plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit).

4. The ruins are stamps by Sheena Douglas and these

were stamped onto another piece of card, then cut around

and mounted onto the card with foam pads.

I will let you into a secret but you must  not tell anyone

The card did not start out like this, hence the scene

being mounted onto the background. This was

because when I first tried to do the background

I did not inspect it before I stamped the image, once

I looked OMG it was a mess and I was ready to

throw it into the bin when cousin Mary gave me

idea to cut the image away and create another

background. Thanks for the Idea Mary.

To complete the card I added two hessian strips to each end.

I must say I am quite pleased with the outcome.

Well folks that's it from me today

hope to see you back tomorrow.

Until Next Time

As Always

Take Care and Happy Crafting.

DETAILS

1. Card base is 8 x8 white card and rounded the edges.

2. I then took dark green card and embossed it using one

of Sheena Douglas embossing folder (sorry cannot 

remember its name), again I rounded the corners, then

adhered it the card.

3. Using the same embossing folder ( in case you cannot make

our the design it is leaves) I embossed another piece of 

lighter green card and adhered this to the other one.

4. A spellbinder oval die was then used to cut out the

the backing for the image again using the dark green

embossed card stock.

5. The image was die cut using SB Grand Decorative Ovals One

onto white card and then coloured using pro markers.

6. To keep the theme of the forest I then cut fern leaves in

different shades of green and arranged them around the

Good Afternoon,

 my crafty friends,followers and visitors, I hope you are all well and had a great weekend. Mine not so good as my mum is poorly and is in bed which means I have to keep going to make sure everything is ok and that she gets food and drinks.

I have been with her today since 7am and only got back after 2pm but never mind that's what happens when you are an only child.  Enough of that, on a more lighthearted note I did manage to get some crafting in yesterday and finished this card late evening. I must say I am quite pleased with the result, and yet again it's stamping.  Hopefully I will improve my technique the more I practice, hope you like? 

DETAILS

                   8 x8 white card to which I layered  plain mint card,

                           I then added another layer of pink card which I have embossed

       using one of Sheena Douglas Taste of India folders

       Frame cut again from mint card using Spellbinder 

              (Branching Out) die.   The image was taken from one of 

                  My Craft Studio  CD's I then coloured using Pro Markers

    The image was then mounted onto pink card and

    added to the frame. I them finished off with pink

      ribbon to which I added cherry blossom flowers, 

a bow  and a sentiment. 

Until next time, Take Care and Happy Crafting.
