I love working with the promarkers. This card for my nephew's birthday was inspired by Cardmaking and papercraft magazine challenge . If you would like to use this image and can manage to copy it feel free.

It's nice to have a friend who is all ears.

Running late with the Crafter's Companion Challenge for March with the theme of Easter . Hope I get it on in time.For the main image I created a digi stamp from a photo of my daughter. and had my first play with promarkers( I'm always way behind in trying out new products) . I will try to post a copy of the image but at the moment the pc doesn't want to play.

The card is a piece of A4 with the edges concertinerd to greate a plce to fix the acetate.My background I created using a stencil and promarkers to keep the colour coordination and the sprayed with Spray and Sparkle for a bit of a lift.Then added the greeting "Everyone needs a friend who is all ears"  tearing around the words and curling in the corner.

A spray of flowers and mini eggs decorates the top edge of my image.First attempt at making these flowers and I was pleased with the result and how simple they were .
 I took a Peter Rabit image from AWinter Tale Cd. , decoupaged him up on top of the acetate then added some more mini eggs tumbling out of his sack.

Not sure if you can copy this digi stamp but feel free to use if you can.

Wedding Day

This months Crafter's Companion Challenge is Romance. So here I've used Popcorn bear and Coconut image from the Frosty and Bright CD covering the toffee apples they hold with the Flower Soft bridal bouquet.
Went to the Adorables CD for the plate and stand templates and used the delicate backing paper from the same cd printing the two larges plates on card and the smallest on vellum. I embossed some of the swirls on the vellum and used Spray and Sparkle Iridescent glitter to sparkle the plates and stand.
Added a top hat , veil , peel offs and some rhinestones to finish off.

Blue Tit

Having a play with my Christmas pressie. The Feathered Friends CD  from Peerless Designs has some beautiful images on it and my  new style of card at the moment is the twisted easel card.

New Life- New Love

Finally back into card making after Christmas and the Crafter's Companion Sketch Challenge for January- . SOMETHING NEW - has set the inspiration flowing again.
This card for a New baby has a butterfly background downloaded from Crafter's Companion site and printed onto vellum which gives it a soft look. The other paper comes from the Adorables CD. I've decoupaged the  main Beatrix Potter image and added and extra raised butterfly from the background. I love these side twister easel cards - so easy to do but effective.

Bits and Pieces

The Quick Cards Challenge was to use up left over scraps and so this card was born. using pieces of left over Xmas paper for the letters which I then decorated with various odds and ends.For the"O" I made a ribon wreath by knotting off cuts of ribbon and cord onto a peice of wire . Then this I mounted onto an off cut of gold embossed acetate.

From Our House To Yours

Made with papers from Cute Companions Winter Tales CD. I love this decoupage with the opening door and  added some Flowersoft to give extra texture.
