Bluebirds

As usual my workspace has shrunk to a very tiny space yet again so I felt I must actually use some of the odd images, die cuts, stamped pieces and scraps of paper rather than just tidy them away where they could be forgotten. This is a card I made using some Sizzix die cuts with a stamped image using a sentiment from Elusive Images. The branch and birds were die cut from white card and coloured with Copics.

A few pieces less on my desk but plenty more to go!!

Sympathy Card

Not my favourite type of card to make but I do like to have one or two in reserve in case I get a request. The Background paper was created in My Craft Studio using the Flourishes CD and the stamp used was from Oh So Lovely set by Stampin Up courtesy of a kind friend who let me stamp a couple of images - coloured with Copic. On these occasions I feel that simple is best.

Follow The Leader

The Friday freebie digi stamp at Pollycraft was a lovely one to make us think of Spring so I've made a bright card using it with some papers and other bits from my stash. Image was coloured with Copics.

Holly

The challenge at Bah Humbug this week is holly and I've used an image from Joanna Sheen's Cardmakers year CD and taken the liberty of naming the little dog 'Holly'. Background paper is from the CD, message made on the computer and ribbon and card candy have been added to complete the card.

Honey and Hugs

I just couldn't resist this cute sheep from the Honey and Hugs range by Papermania. Background paper was printed from the free CD on their current Creativity magazine and I used the same paper for a bit of stamped decoupage and added some flowers from my stash. The greeting was a stamp from the same set.

Valentine

Challenge 4 at Polkadoodles is to produce a non traditional Valentine - ie no pink or red so I've used papers from their Love and Cherish to make this one although I'm not sure I actually need a Valentine card!! Definitely no pink or red here.

Flower Challenge

The challenge at Craftwork Cards has reached F for flowers and as a friend had asked me to make a 70th birthday card I thought I would use this idea for her card. The flowers from Craftwork Cards have been embossed with a Cuttlebug swiss dots folder and the centres are hand made flowers by Flora Doodles. Background paper is from Hot off the Press; sentiment is stampin Up; numbers are X-cut diecutss layered onto a Cuttlebug diecut.
