I do love this little cutie, and have watercoloured him in. I used papers from the same BG paper, I love this pack! I have kept it all simple, just a bit of ribbon and a punched flower and swirl. I am on a mission to use up my stash (before a good friend of mine starts putting it on Ebay ... you know who you are LOL!!) so I have used a neglected pack of flower gems for the centre of my flower.Recipe: Stamp(s): PB Raining Daisies; Papermania sentiment
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: Basic Grey Sugared
Embellishments: punched flowers and swirls, ribbon and flower gem from stash
I thought I would go for colours I don't normally use on Christmas cards - I got the 12x12 paper stack for about £5 after Christmas. I think it wotks. I added ribbon and punched snowflakes..jpg)
I rotated the sketch through 180 degrees for my card.
If you read my Christmas card post from last week, this was the stamp I ordered, it is called Let it Snow, but I got the PB mouse one by mistake, which they let me keep,beofre this one arrived. Its the 1st time I have used the stamp. I stamped it onto black card using Versamark and then embossed it with silver tinsel embossing powder. I embossed the white cardstock using my snowflake folder (I have tried and tried to get a better photo that shows the ebossing) and then added stickles. I added a little organza ribbon and a snowflake created with my new snowflake punches, and some stickles in the centre of it. I haven't added a sentiment as the stamp has its own!
Its watercoloured with distress inks, still my favourite medium at the moment, and doodled round the edges. I have kept the card simple, letting the papers come through. I matted the image onto to colours of cardstock and used matching cardstock as the card base. I cut the dp into triangles and addedflower brads, ribbon, and a peel off -simple really.
The image is watercoloured and I have distressed the backgound. I have used a mix of pink cardstock and DCWV Nursery stack. The ribbon is from my stash and I doodled the stitching and the sentiment.
I watercoloured the image a couple of times and distressed the edges with distress ink. My waterbrush is misbehaving at the moment so the hedgie looks a bit blotchy! I cut and decoupaged the hedgehog and 3 of the daisies. As Ellie was hanging around I let her glitter the daisies which is why they are GLITTERED! I matted the image and papers onto orange cardstock and added the sentiment.
I coloured the image and distressed the background. I love these papers, and often layer the flowers up to add some depth. As the papers are quite busy I have just used simple brown buttons for the embellishment. No sentiment yet, I only add them when I use the card.
I love this cat - he looks like he has just got the cream. Strangely I didn't make any cards with him on last year. Again he is coloured in distress inks and all the papers are from my scraps and left over Christmas paper. I added stickles to the berries on the image and the paper, and stamped a gold scroll onto 2 corners. Of the two I do prefer this one.
I do make quite a few Easter cards, and I am loving this image for the non-religious ones (I have to make religious ones for my mum). I have used spring colours for the papers and watercoloured the image. I have used the knot in the ribbon for the circle on the sketch. I worte the sentiment myself - need to practise the handwriting LOL!
I watercolourd the image and used my nesties to cut it out. The papers are all from a scrapbook kit I bought, and the ribbons from my stash. I really didn't want to add flowers so I used brads instead. I am still in the 'not too many embellies' mood. For the sentiment I wrote the title of the song.
Gran has a March birthday and loves cats so this image is just perfect for her I watercoloured it and matted it onto cardstock. I cut a band of co-ordinating paper and added some organza ribbon. I stamped the daisy scroll in distress ink. The sentiment is left blank as Mum isn't sure what she wants yet ... so that'll be a handwritten one!
I made the corners on the image using a yellow ink pad. I have chosen fresh spring colours as it will probably be an Easter card. I added the doodling as that is this week's Spoonfull of Sugar challenge. No flowers are embellies as not sure who it going to be for and I didn't want to detract from that lovely green dp.
Rather than go for the pink/red theme I chose to create more of a little scene. I coloured the distressed the ickle mice and cut them using my nesties. I always struggle to use this paper as I always end up hiding the interesting bits. So I have decoupaged the leaves and some of the flowers to give the impression of the mice hiding in the hedgerow. Did make 1 little mistake - sneezed as I was putting the image on the paper and ...its not straight!!
I used the same image for this, but gorgeous brown dp (again unknown). I demoed making the paper beads that i put on this card. I love these paper beads - so quick and easy to make and a different embellishment on a card. No flowers on this one ... yet. I am pondering a couple, but not sure yet. 
I love my PB Duckling stamp, and haven't inked it for a while. I thought I would start on some Easter cards and combine a few challenges in the process. So I made this circle card for the PBSC this week, which is circle cards. I used my scalloped nestie to cut the circle and crop-a-dile to punch the holes. I used yellow cardstock and DCWV Pocketful of Posies papers. The duckling is distressed, and the ribbons are from my stash. I have scanned the card with blue cardstock behind so you can see the card.
I have had these fancy pants papers for a while, but thought they would work really well with this gorgeous image by PB - Lazy Days, I added co-ordinating ribbon, brads and buttons to complete it.
