Elzybells girls birthday card

I had to make a birthday card for a good friend of mine, so i found this sweet friend image stamped for me in an image swap, on a forum i go on.

I used watercolour pencils, and sakura pens to colour them, and mounted them onto bright pink bazzill card.

I adore this new paisley black and white paper from doodlebug, and thought it would look great with small bits coloured in, so i used the same pink sakura pen to outline all the teardrop shapes. It looks much shinier IRL.

The small birthday peeloffs are again anitas. I really do need to buy some more birthday sentiment stamps!

Its been nice making cards again today as ive felt really poorly all weekend. My ME is really playing up and ive felt like a zombie most of the weekend. Im still not feeling great, but its been nice to sit and craft for a few hours. it takes my mind off worrying about feeling so ill again.

This card was made for the sketch this:cards sketch challenge#22.

I love these little Elzybells teddy stamps, and the football one is great for little boys.

I used the matching football stamp for the background layer.

I added a folded "frill" under the image piece, that was part of the dare at daring cardmakers, as i wanted to try and use a frill on a boys card.

(cheryl i hope u dont mind me getting inspiration from ur frill!).

Im not sure i like how it worked though, so will have another go at that dare!

The folded frill is a doodlebug paper, and the sentiment is from a woodware clear set.

DCM "little extra"

This is my card for the DCM "little extra" challenge. It is to make a sorry card and as i had forgotten a friends birthday today, i decided that was the perfect sorry card.

I cut some of the front flap of card so i could overlap with the image.

The gorgeous image is by Elzybells and i watercoloured her, cut out her dress from some pretty paper, and H2O'd her flowers and bow in her hair.

The dotty paper is from doodlebug and the ribbon is from a papermania set.

I added the sentiment with doodlebug rub on's and a few sweet little flowers in the corners of the image.

Creative idea on a sunday challenge

The theme for this challenge was black and white. I love using black and white lately, after finding some lush papers from dovecraft, so i enjoyed making this one.

The tag,embellishments, gems and flower are from a great papermania set with all black, white and silver embellishments. The paper as i mentioned was from a great pack from Dovecraft.

I added some extra stripy black and white ribbon to the tag and stamped a sentiment with an Elzybells stamp.

I added the flower charm with some black cross stitch thread.

My latest 2 cards.

This card i made for my sis who was not feeling good waiting for her operation. I stamped circles over the card and then stamped an Elzybells small flower in them. The image is Penny Black and the sentiment is Elzybells.



















This card was for my niece who had just finished her last week at primary school.Her report was brilliant and she did well in her SAT's so i wanted to congratulate her. She loves Tinkerbell and i found these gorgeous twinkly stickers made by sandilion.
