A Get Well Card

This is a get well card for Ali who has managed to get her hand and wrist put in plaster - so no crafting for her :(((.  I used Let them eat cake from Sugar Nellie and coloured her in  using my promarkers.  Her wings are glamour dusted and I added stickles to the edge of the image.  I embossed the white cardstock, and distressed it beofre adding the layered ribbon, layered flower and sentiment.  The ribbon is lime coloured not yellow as it looks in the photo.

Halloween Magic

I love this Stampendous steampunk stamp, Halloween Magic ... when I saw it I just had to have it!!  I coloured her using copics and promarkers and then added metallic gold promarker to the cog and watch, before cutting her out.  The dp is Authentique Enchanted and I stamped a Hero Arts script stamp over the graph paper from the pad.  I added some Tim Holtz tissue tap, and a weathered clock die, some webbing, gold thread and a clock charm that I painted gold with a gold dabber.

Snowman card

I have been all inspired by Erika's red, kraft and white Christmas cards - loving the look of them, so I thought I would have a play with the colour combination.

I matted up kraft and red cardstock, and added a kraft octagonal die cut.  The snowman is a Tim Holtz die, and I covered it with picket fence distress stain and the used my edgibility die to cut the chrevon/ricrac style scarf.  I added some red twine and tied the strands together with a bow, before cutting several Memory box snowflake corners and postioning them behind the octagon.  The scarf is attached with a teeny brad, and I added a black pearl for his eye.

Quite liking it - needs some work on it, but i do like the colour combo.

 Challenges:
Simon Says Stamp -  we're so trendy (chrevon scarf!)
Do you stack up - kraft and twine

Totally Papercrafts challenge

Our Sponsor this week is:-

A LOT A RUBBER STAMPS

This card is for my niece who is shortly going to be 3 - and she is as cute as this cutie!!!

 I used Rosie from Sugar Nellie, and coloured her in using my promarkers.  Daisy always used to be the 'signature' stamp for Sugar Nellie - everyone HAD to have her and on ebay she goes for a fortune ... but whilst Daisy has a place in my heart, I have to say Rosie does beat her hands down on the pretty, adorable and downright cute stakes!!  The dp is MME Everyday flair, and I added some stitching to it (yes I meant not to stitch the whole way along the dp - husbands do at times ask the most stupid questions!!!).  I rolled some roses and added pearls to their centres before putting them on top of a Memory Box scroll die.  Finally a LOTV sentiment on a Dynamics diecut tag and some pearls.  I totally forgot to add ribbon - GASP!!!!  But it looks ok without I think!!

A bit of yellow

 

 I love the crisp clean-ness of WOW cards, and they are really quick to make, especially if you have forgotten to do that card you promised!!  I coloured this cute Maggie in using my promarkers and glamour dusted her wings.  I embossed the layers of white cardstock before distressing it, added some white ruffly organza ribbon, and tied a double bow.  Final details are the punched butterflies, pearls and button centre to the bow.  The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.
