Cherryish The Day

Hi all, It's finally the weekend yay.

Here is my latest creation:

I have used the I Cherryish You image from 2 Cute Ink and coloured it with promarkers. I then went with an all white theme so raided my stash for all things white and found doilies, lace, gems, buttons, bows, brads, flowers and pearls and they all went onto the card. I took inspiration from the image title and printed my own sentiment. I played around with the layout of this card for ages and finally decided on an easel card as it seems to show all the elements better than a standard card.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

I love Promarkers - White on White
Passion For Promarkers - White on White
Bearly-Mine Challenges - Tootie Fruitie
Totally Gorjuss - Bling
Charisma Cardz - Fancy Folds

It's a Boy

Happy Friday 13th all, I hope you have had lucky days rather than unlucky ones. My day has been pretty good really and I have managed to get this little card done:

I have used an image from the internet, it is a colouring page that I have just shrunk down. I coloured it with Promarkers. The papers are all from my stash. I have added some buttons, Bows and Brads in matching colours. I then used my petal pairs punches to make little flowers and added some glass drops to the centres. My Sister has her 20 week scan on Wednesday so if it is a boy this little card will be on it's way to her.

It's Party Time

Things are on the up, Well Charlie seems to be on the mend at last. I managed a little card today although it is quite a simple one it has turned out ok. So here it is:

I went for a little walk on the wild side with this one and coloured the image with water colour pencils. It was my first go at using them and although by no means is it perfect it worked out better than I thought it would. The image was from a CD I got free with a magazine. The paper is from my little stash, It came all the way from Canada. The Ribbons were a free gift from a magazine that have been laying in the drawer for ages. I have then added the little gems and Candi to embellish. I have used a little metal Happy Birthday tag for the sentiment. I keep going back to these as they work with anything. Note to self must use other sentiments.

mmmmmmm Choccy

Well I finally got my Choccy and I feel a bit sick today as I think I over done it a bit. Or maybe I am getting Charlie's bug ahh.

Anyway here is the second card of the day:

I have used a cute little image from my Me to You cd. The paper is from my stash and I have embellished with some candi, Ribbon and Lace.

Butterflies and blooms

Well today has been both good and bad. Charlie is still ill bless him so I have had a bit of a hard day with him. He is sleeping now and seems to be slowly on the mend. Hopefully tomorrow I will have my happy little boy back.

On a good note, I was chosen as a new DT member for 2 Cute Ink Design Team. I am so excited as it's my first DT.

Anyway onto the first of todays cards. I set myself a challenge with this one. I have had a Pepper and Friends kit for ages and have really struggled with it. So as the challenge on Charisma Cardz this week is Chipboard/Stickers I decided to use the kit as it contains chipboard and stickers. So my challenge to use the kit and only the kit (Plus a sentiment as there were none in the kit.)

So here it is:

The Flower circle and ribbon are both stickers and the birdhouse and butterfly are chipboard.

A Special Friend

Wow what a day it has been today. Charlie has been so ill bless him. He has had a horrible sickness bug and has really not been himself. At the time of writing this he is laying asleep next to me. I have'nt really had much time to be creative today but after sitting with Charlie all day I got a tiny bit of time to make a card and here is what I came up with. Sorry if the picture is not very good but it's the best I could do in the light I have. If it's really bad I will change it tomorrow.

I have used a precious moments image and coloured it with promarkers. I used the blender pen to give a softer look. I have gone for the Deep Purple, Bright Green and Cream colour theme from Colour Create. The papers were from a pack I got years ago while on holiday in Canada. The craft stores over there are fab. I have distressed them by tearing the edges. The purple card is also from my stash and I have embossed it using an embossing folder. I have embellieshed using gems, Pearls, Buttons, Lace, String and flowers all from my stash. The little sentiment was from a pack I have had for ages and the metal buttons have a distressed look ( Well they look like they have been well used but I think its just a distressed effect.)

What No Chocolate......

One more day to go until I get my choccy yay. So here is an Easter card with no choccy in sight.

I have used a Precious Moments colouring page and coloured it with promarkers. I have used the limited edition spring promarkers and I love them. The colours are so soft. The papers are from a Dovecraft Back To Basics pad. I used some pretty flowers, gems and buttons to embellish and cut the lettering from a sizzix alphabet using my Bigshot.
