Swirls and Flowers

I received the new Artylicious Decadent Brocade CD this lunch time and just had to make a card. I seem to be in a pink phase today but better that than the grey day outside although it has just stopped raining - shh don't say it too loud!!

Boquet of Birthday Wishes

Well we are having a typical summers day here in Somerset - yes it has been raining all day and I'm due to go to a garden party this afternoon!! I thought the best thing I could do this morning was have a play with some gesso, Glimmer mists etc and have made this card with the results. Stamps are by Elusive Images and the flowers have been punched using an EK success punch and Xcut punches with a border made with Martha Stewart doily lace punch

Garden Gal

A quick birthday card using one of the Garden Gals designs from http://www.feejdesigns.com/

Persdonalised Penguins

I was asked to make a personalised card and decided to go for the monochrome look with penguins (well they are aren't they??). The background paper and image are from the Jane Netley Mayhew CD from Joanna Sheen and as I bought a new punch yesterday I just had to add a flower using the new punch with an Xcut one which I already had, some cuttlebug embossing and silver Glimmer Mist.

Bubbles

Another card using the Daisy and Dandelion series of stamps - this time it is Bubbles who has been stamped with Adirondack dye ink which was allowed to dry thoroughly before colouring with Copic markers.

Daisy Christmas

This Christmas card (I know it is only July!!) uses the free Daisy stamp which came on the front of the Creativity magazine. She has been coloured with Copic pens and the white snowflakes were added using an opaque white pen, glitter 'snow' was used for the white on the hat. These D and D stamps have quite a lot of dark areas on them so I think another time I will try stamping with a light brown ink pad instead of using black.

F is For ...

Here are two ATCs ready to send off for the alphabet swap this time. Frog image is from Penny Black and the Retro flower from Elusive Images.
