Greens and Purples

I've had these brads for a while now but have never used them. I wanted to try something different other than layering papers. I really liked the end result.

Doggy Birthday

A card made for my father-in-law's birthday. The image was sent to me - not sure who! But perfect for my father-in-law as loves dogs.

Sparkly Birthday

A bright sparkly card in purple using stickles and Swiss Dot cuttlebug embossing folder.

Spotty Cupcake

This is a another commission card. I bought some lovely new Papermania papers - Sweet Nothings - I have used these on the base of the card and also to paper piece the cupcake paper. The image is stamped using Hero Arts Cupcakes. I have cut out the cherry and coloured it with my Glaze pens, I then attached with 3D foam pads. This is layered using green Brazzil Bling. The sentiment is a Craftworks Card mini message.

Wedding Cake

This is a card I made on a commission. I have used a pearlescent card from Craftwork Cards. The base layer is Papermania embossed vellum (you'll have to open the picture to see the detail) secured with gold brads. The image is a gorgous sparkly embossed sticker layered on ivory pearlescent card. The ribbon is a lovely white organza.

A card for my brother and sister-in-law's wedding anniversary. I love this paper from Blonde Moments!

My Hubbie's 40th

It's my husband's 40th birthday on Sunday and this is card I have made for him. The Edwin is from one of my PIF's (thanks!), layered with green Brazzil Bling. I coloured him in with coloured pencils and used my Sakura glitter pen for his wings. The base is more green Brazzil Bling with some groovy new Papermania Retro Florals paper. I have used 3 Papermania brads at the top in chrome, bronze and gun-metal. The sentiment is from Craft Work cards.

My Nieces Birthday

I made this card for my nieces birthday today.The base is two different shades of purple Papermania card. The lighter purple card has been embossed using my Cuttlebug. I have added a purple ribbon. The picture is poached from an old birthday card I had - secured using 3D foam pads. The sentiment is a Craftwork Cards mini message.

My Dad's Birthday

This is the card I made for my dad's birthday, which is today. The base card is two different shades of Brazzil Bling with a strip of blue Papermania ribbon. The sentiment is Stamping Bella, layered with Brazzil Bling. The "Dad" is die cut using my Cuttlebug. I added a Craftwork Cards mini birthday message.

Purple Wednesday

Well I got a chance to do some crafting tonight! Seems like weeks since I had time to do anything creative! I decided to make a couple of purple themed cards. I also used some of my new mini messages from Craftwork Cards - they are great!

I made this card for a one of my oldest and dearest friends. She is waiting for some good news and I wanted to send her something to let her know my thoughts are with her. The base papers are from Papermania purple designer pack layered with Papermania card in dark purple and lilac. I added a purple prima flower secured with a Papermania flower brad. I added 4 purple gems in the each corner and a Craftwork Cards mini message.

For this card, I wanted to try out paper piecing - so Cakeabella's apron is done in this way. I also did the cake in purple card and added a bit of sparkle with my Sakura pen. I coloured the rest of her with coloured pencils. The base is purple Brazzil Basics and daisy paper by Scissor Sisters. I added a purple prima flower with a button in the middle. Lastly a cute flutter message by sentiment from Craftwork Cards.

Jo's Tilda

I got this very cute image from Jo (Me and My Things) and some lovely pearlescent cards from Craftwork Cards and wanted to add a bit more sparkle. So Tilda got sparkly wings using a my new Sakura pen, the rest of her is done using coloured pencils. The base paper is from the Papermania Flowers pack. I have used a square of brown card punched with an X-cut hearts punch and a strip for my sentiment, rounded with a Woodware punch. The sentiment is a gold Anita's peel off. Finished off with a white organza ribbon.
