New home card

I've had this image sat coloured in for an age and not done a thing with it, so I decided to make a new home card with it. Hopefully it will be going to my best friend whose getting a step onto the property ladder - but it wasn't made with her in mind (don't like to jinx things)

It's one of Mo's beautiful images, coloured with promarkers - double mounted on a scallaped circle which was kindly sent to me. Papers are from K&Co, sentiment printed off the computer, ribbon from stash and my lovely pips.

Hope you all like!  I am going to enter this into Mo's DP2 Challenge which this week is anything goes.

Thanks for looking and happy crafting!

Another Birthday Card and 1 more week til my Birthday!

Well thankfully this is the last birthday card I have to make for this month - this one is for a work colleague, hope she likes it.

It didn't turn out quite how I wanted and last night I was ready to scrap it but in the cold light of day its growning on me.

So the details.... the butterfly is made via mummy dearest - its her stamp! lol! and she has the film and angel hair in brum to make it. The circle is a kind donation from one of my many crafting friends, embossed with my bug. Papers are from stash - main paper is from a candy I won from Mina (Pinkpuds) a while ago, the other from a magazine. The ribbons are from stash, swirls another donation from a crafting friend. My beloved pips and flower punches as always...... think thats all.

Feedback welcomed!

Have a great day and happy crafting!

Same design, 2 cards

Hi!

Told you June was a busy month for cards, here are 2 more. One was a 50th card I was asked to do for the aunt of one of the girls I work with, the other is for my best friend. And I thought i'd do variations on the same theme.

So the card I was asked to make ended up looking like:

And the card for my friend looked like:

The gloss cracked slightly on my friends card but nevermind.

The stamp is from U-Mount and the Sweet Pea Collection. I watercoloured the image, higlighted areas using my whisper pens and created texture by raising some area's of the design. Both sentiments were created on my computer and all the papers and ribbon are from stash.

Thats everything - thanks for looking and happy crafting x

Iris Folding Birthday Card

Hi everyone!

So this is a new style for me, i've never done iris folding before but I saw this pattern and I just had to give it a go!

The papers I used were from a free stack that came with a Cardmaking and Papercraft issue I brought and were designed by Kate Knight. Everything else is from stash.

I'm entering this for Bunny Zoe's Challenge - Something Girly

Thanks for looking! Any feedback on this would be welcomed!

Happy Crafting!
