For my very Special Mum

Well this is a little different to my normal style of cards as there is no picture as such but I thought it turned out well and my Mum seemed to like it. I used a spellbinders die for the flowers and how easy are they to do. I love them. May have to invest in the other ones you can get.

Anyway I am entering this card into the following challenges:
C.R.A.F.T Challenge - Handmade flowers.
Fab n Funky Challenges - In honour of Mum

Sping is here

It has been a lovely day here today, well after the fog had lifted. So here is my spring inspired card.
I have used last weeks sketch from Sketch Saturday as I was to slow to enter the challenge but loved the sketch so have to give credit to them for a lovely sketch.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Paperplay - Spring Colours.
Crafters Companion - Spring
Crafty Purple Frog - Anything goes.

I'm back to the Challenge.

Well I have been away for a long while as I had a Baby Boy yay and then I got gallstones booo. But I am now back and ready for the challenges again. Here is one of my latest creations all ready for my Sisters Birthday in a few weeks. I am entering this into the following challenges if I can remember how to do it lol.
Bearly Mine - Simply Spots
Creative Impressions - Anything Goes
Joanna Sheen - Spring
Cute Card Thursday - Anything Goes.

A pretty card for many challenges

Just a quick post to show my latest challenge card. I have used the sketch from Sketch Saturday, Garden theme from Aifactory, Anything that flies theme from Secret Crafter, Faux stitching theme from Crafty Cardmakers and Glitter, Glamour and Girlie from Creative Inspirations.

Clean and Simple

This card is for the Fab n Funky challenge of clean and simple. I have just used some punched baubles hanging from some peeloffs and a little gold tag.

Happy Birthday Manga style

I am so pleased with how this one has turned out I was a bit worried as I coloured the image in then thought ahhhh what am I going to use to make the card. After having a rummage through my stash of crafty bits I found all these tiny buttons, Pretty flowers, Brads and ribbon that matched the image perfectly. I have used the sketch from Sketch Saturday and the Manga theme from Secret Crafter.

Best Friends

What better friend does anyone have then a trusty dog I know my two are always there for me when I need them so when I saw this weeks challenge of Best Friends from Passion For Promarkers I went straight to this image. I have coloured it with various coloured promarkers and my blender pen to give a softer look. I have also used the distressed theme from Aly's Sunday Challenge. The brown spotty paper has a distressed look to it as it looks as though it has been sanded to take off some of the colour. I then used a brown ink pad to distress the edge of the ribbon and the image. I kept the colours and image male orientated so that I could also use it for this weeks Cards for Men challenge of Anything Goes. The ribbon reads Laughter is the closest distance between two friends.
