Lots of cards!

I've had a bit of a creative spell recently so thought I'd share some of my creations. As ever I'd love to hear what you think. I've had nearly 150 visitors looking at my last post with the Dutch Saturated Canary Image but only 3 people have left me comments.

My first card uses a digi from Papelitos Stamps.

 The sentiment is a freebie from Ginger's House (there are some great sentiments on there). 
I've coloured her in  pink & would like to enter her into Papelitos Stamps 'Pretty in Pink' Challenge



Digi from Birdie Brown

Sentiment is from an acrylic stamp set (designer unknown)

Paper from Sassy Designs


Digi from Jellypark

Sentiment from Create with TLC


These roses are a rubber stamp from Imagination Crafts called Shadow Rose. It comes in 2 sizes. I bought it after seeing a card that the lovely Brenda on Aly's Crafty Den made. Brenda is a lovely lady & sent me some Perfect Pearls to try. I've not made any cards with this stamp yet but enjoyed having a play. What do you think?

Stamped with Memento inks


Stamped with Versamark Ink then brushed over with Perfect Pearls

See the shimmer!

Versamark/ Perfect Pearls on burgundy cardstock - it makes the shimmer stand out really well.

Finally Come back Tomorrow and on Monday for exciting news & chances to win prizes x

Exciting News

The amazingly talented Mo Manning had a 24hr freebie in her shop of her new digi 'Laptop Baby' over 1000 people grabbed it and she's now set a challenge to come up with a good sentiment to use with it. The freebie has ended now but you can buy this lovely image at Mo's shop.

Here's my entry. Many of my friends seem to be having babies at the moment but they all live a long way away so I don't get to see them very often - so I thought of this sentiment.



The Sentiment is my Own


I coloured the image using my trusty Promarkers
Skin: Oatmeal, Blush, Pastel Pink cheeks
Hair: Primrose, Buttercup, Pastel Yellow, Mustard
Clothes: Baby pink, Antique Pink

Edges of Picot Circle die cut & mat for sentiment are coloured with Antique Pink

I also made a good discovery today. I have a great big pack of slightly pearlescent card banks which are great but sometimes look odd when made into cards as they're a different tone - not quite white. I experimented with the top half of this card and found that colouring with my baby pink promarker gave a lovely coverage & the pearlecense  shows through :D Yet another great discovery with my Promarkers!


I also made another card using the 'Hug Monster' sentiment from Create with TLC using a different digi than last time. This set of monsters comes from Birdie Brown. I think I like it better than my last attempt - possibly because I didn't try to do fur/ hair this time.





I can't remember which Promakers I used for the orange monster - it was a bit of a voyage of discovery. The Middle monster is Turquoise & True Blue & the other monster is Prussian.

I have other exciting news to share today - I've become a member of 2 Design Teams ...... yes TWO!!! Having never been on one before it feels great :D I'll let you know more details once things are settled.

Hope you're all having a wonderful day. Please leave me a comment - I'd love to know what you think x
