Cards for Jo - SBS13 Card Swop

This is the card I did for the SBS13 card swop. It has taken me ages to do it - sorry Jo, hope you liked it. The image is Stamping Bella, I have used a scalloped Nestie to stamp her on. The paper is Papermania Retro Florals. The sentiment is a Penny Black stamp, stamped on Nesties. I added a little pink Prima flower and a gem.

Below is an extra card I made for Jo for her to use, rather than including any stamped images.

Jo sent me a gorgeous card for this swop! The imade and setiment are from Elzybells, the image is coloured using Whispers makers. I have stamped put some extra butterflies and attached them using 3D foam pads and then dotted a little swirl using my Sakura glitter pen. I have used an orange organza ribbon below the image to add a little sparkle.

Bride & Groom

Another commission card! I struggled a bit with this until I tried the red which looked great. The base is red Papermania card with a strip of white organza ribbon. The image is by Elzybells - I love their stamps!! I have coloured them in with pencils and Whispers brush makers. I have added a little bit of glitter using my Sakura pen. I printed the sentiment on my PC and rounded one edge with my Woodware corner rounder.

Baby Blues

This the card I made for my Mom to send to my cousin. For the sentiment, I layered different coloured blue card and used a Papermania "It's a Boy"sticker. I have crossed two strips of blue grosgrain ribbon and added a wooden toy lion with the mane and tail coloured in using a blue Sakura glaze pen.

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.

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.
