A Girly Card

I've used one of the free fairy stamps which came with the current Papercraft Inspirations magazine to make this girly card. Image coloured with watercolour pencils and fairy dust glitter added to the wings. Daisies and swirls are Sizzix die cuts and I also used a Cuttlebug embossing folder and Martha Stewart border punch.

Get Well

A bit of a challenge this morning with a request from a friend to make a personalised get well card to cheer up a young man . Stamp is a Papermania one coloured with Copic pens and the background paper is also from papermania with bits from my scrap box.

Cute Snowman

Yesterday I treated myself to a set of clear Christmas stamps by Habico but was a bit disappointed when I came to stamp this cute snowman that the hat, scarf and robin are heavily textured with 'dots' which mean that they come out quite dark when stamped. I'm going to try with different colours of ink but this is my first card using him. The sprig of holly is from the same set and I have added some cuttlebug embossed snowflakes. and a bit of glamour dust.

Christmas

Another Christmas card to add to my pile - using the free Daisy and Dandelion stamp which came with the Creativity magazine. Stamped with latte Adirondack dye ink and coloured with Copic pens. Glitter snow was added to the fur on the hat.

Forever Friends

This was the challenge on the Tanda Teaser this week and I have used stamps from a new set of cupcake stamps which they have just issued. I ordered yesterday afternoon and they arrived in the post today - excellent service as usual.

The background is a faux silk technique found on Crafty Butterfly blog and the icing on the cake has been covered in Diamond glaze, a ribbon stamped with a message and a 'friends' die cut on a Nestabilities shape complete the card.

Dreams

This card was made to go into a Graphicus Guild album where members are challenged to use one stamp or a set of Elusive Images stamps to produce items showing their 'take' on the stamps. These were from the wild meadow set, words from the Birthday Words plate. The dragonfly is a small unmounted stamp which was amongst my collection of stamps. Background made by stippling various Adirondack dye inks onto glossy card.

Flower Birthday

Browsing round a craft shop recently I was tempted by some MME papers and a decoupage flower pad in Wild Asparagus design - I just added some ribbon and a greeting to complete this quick card.
