Create4Fun Challenge

It’s my turn to provide the sketch for Create4Fun Challenge blog this week.  Another simple one I’m afraid – at the mo I can’t be doing with fussy sketches although now that I have almost caught up with my behind the scenes DT work I can get back into lots of layers again.

And it’s another Magnolia card from me today – I’m just loving their new Tildas, this one is from the new Wedding collection that I picked up at the NEC last November.  I don’t think they are available to buy in the shops yet but should hopefully be out soon.

I’m back in my pink phase again lol – these papers were still on my desk from last week when I was working on some other DT work so I’m afraid you will be seeing a lot of similar cards soon once I can upload those cards on my blog (mid January I think).

The BEEEEAUTIFUL gardenias and roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I have spritzed them with pearl and snow angel Glimmer Mists – loving the bling lol.  The pearl pins are from The Hobby House as is the Melissa Francis paper.  I don’t know who the dotty paper is by, there was no name on it and it’s another I have had for ages – typical hey.  The little fern leaf punch is a Woodware one.

The sentiment is from a Hot off the Press kit from QVC a long time ago.  The pretty organza ribbon is from Craft Fairy – it is really shimmery IRL.  I have added Stickles to her petticoat and wings although it’s not showing in the photo’s.

That was 2009

Happy New Year - I hope this year is going to be good to us all.

I've seen quite a few of my blogging friends have showcased their favourite cards from 2009 - choosing one card from each month, and me hating feeling left out decided to join in lol.  And it turned out to be quite a marathon, there were quite a few cards that I battled to choose between, and a lot I had forgotten all about too.

Mojo Monday - Mo Manning

I was in-between some DT work today and took some time out to ink up another of the fabulous Mo Manning stamps - I am so thrilled that I can at last work with Mo's images using distress inks and Twinkling H2O's. This stamp is called End of Summer from Stampavie, and what better on another dull and dreary day than to use bright pretty colours.

The papers are a mix of 3 Bugs in a Rug and Pebbles Inc (two more that I have had for yonks - I am determined to try and use up some of my old stash). The sketch is this weeks Mojo Monday challenge, and I've already made a second card using it today, it's brilliant. The flowers and buttons are from a Crafty Feeling kit.

I’m off to brave the second leg of walking the dogs today, it’s so icy out there I skated most of the way around the estate this afternoon, not nice :( It’s treacherous out there so if you have to go out be careful!

Not just for Christmas (I think)

I think I can get away with using this Magnolia stamp all year round - well Christmas has been and gone (I must have blinked!!) and holly is evergreen so I guess I can use this stamp not only for Christmas.

 
I have used some beautiful Melissa Frances papers that I got from The Hobby House and some Colour Core card stock which I have distressed with a bit of sandpaper and a distressing tool.  I have coloured the image with distress inks and Twinkling H2O's and added Stickles and Liquid Pearls so lots of shimmer  (talking of distress inks - have you seen the NEW colours that are coming out soon - OMW I so need these!!  The sage is so yummy, so are the two new pinks mmmmm I am drooling here lol).

 
A bit of stitching and lots of roses from Wild Orchid Crafts (spritzed with Hydrangea Glimmer Mist) and job done.

Now I must head back to the grindstone - I have been beavering away on samples using new stamps for the CHA, got two more to do then I can parcel the cards up and get them in the mail.  Then I have another two lots of samples to make for yet another two new releases.  Best get me skates on lol.
