ProMarkers
Gel pen

Good morning all.

Well the weather here is absolutely awful :(

Are you fed up with Christmas cards yet and have you finished them?

I think that I have finished but I still have to write a few - how disorganised is that!!

We did the BIG food shop yesterday and the presents are wrapped.  I am ashamed to say that there has been many a year where I have been wrapping on Christmas Eve!!  Each year I say to myself that I will start earlier this year but.......!

Anyway on to today's card:

This is Winter Rosie from DigiStamp Boutique coloured with ProMarkers. The papers are from Lili of the Valley and I have added Stickles and Liquid Pearls.

I didn't add a sentiment as I didn't think that there was enough room and also the background paper said it all!

So thanks for stopping by today and hope that you are warm and cosy - TTFN.

Sweet gingerbread house

Good evening all.

Here is a card that I made using DigiStamp Boutique 'Sweet gingerbread house' image:

So I hope that you likey and thanks for stopping by - TTFN.

Sprinkled with love

Good evening all,

I have made a nice and simple card today - not much colouring and no stamping!

 

The image is from DigiStamp Boutique and I coloured it with ProMarkers. The papers are from Dove craft 'A Piece of Cake'. I also used a Wink of Stella pen with good old Glossy Accents.

 

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

In the garden

Hello all,

I've made a retirement card today - not that I know of anyone who is retiring but I thought that it fitted the image:

I used a DigiStamp Boutique image and coloured with Promarkers. I then added Stickles and Glossy Accents. The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat and the rest is from my stash.

Due to my chickens you will not find many worms or snails in my garden but there are plenty of butterflies as I have huge lavender plants to attract them!

Hope that you like my card and thanks for stopping by - please feel free to leave a comment as I would love to read it!

Fall Foliage

Hi all.

Hope you are well and having some lovely sunshine.

Here is today's card:

I used a DigiStamp Boutique image and Spellbinders Fall Foliage dies for the leaves. (Excellent way to use scrap pieces of card). I did some fake stitching around the edge and used some nail heads. Hope that you can't notice that I scratched the pink heart by moving the heat wand!!


So that's it for today, thanks for stopping by and I hope you will be back!

Challenges:
As I used scraps of card for the leaves I will enter  Pixies Crafty Workshop

Funtime Rosie baking

Can you believe this it must be a record four posts in one day!
I think that I may have to go and lie down in a dark room!

This is 'Funtime Rosie' from DigiStamp Boutique baking some cakes:

I thinks that maybe she might scoff a couple of those choc chips before they go in the cakes!

The background paper is Papermania 'the little cake shoppe' and the sentiment is Pink Petticoat.

So that's it for today hope you liked my cards.

Image overload?

Wow! three posts in one day and I might be back for another!

I have used  DigiStamp Boutique images but the question is have I used too many on one card?

The outside of the card:

The inside of the card:

Put together:

I think that maybe I have 'over-done it'!!  What do you think?

On the cake stand I cut a piece of acetate and used liquid pearls around the edge with a gem on top. The good thing about this is that the stikles on the cakes stuck it down!
I used We R Memory papers again and of course Glossy Accents on the teapot and cup. ( I wonder if there is a help line for Glossy Accents addicts ?! )

No wonder looking at this card that I have trouble with CAS cards, it would be good to have a shove everything on the card challenge!

Any help would be appreciated!

Fun time Rosie

Good evening everyone.

I have made a card today using 'Fun time Rosie' set 2 from DigiStamp Boutique which is on offer at the moment for only £2.28 for a set of 3 images. Bargain!

 

Isn't she sweet!

 

I used Papermania sweet nothings papers with a bit of paper piecing, Promarkers and the sentiment and cotton was stamped using a free set from a magazine. Of course no card of mine would not be complete without Glossy Accents (on the sewing machine).

 

Hope you like it and thanks for popping by.

 

Ta ta for now
