Strawberries Anyone?

This is an image from Clear Dollar Stamps that I have had for some while & whilst blog hopping I noticed there was a new challenge over at Bearly Mine, so thought this was perfect for a ''summer''theme. I coloured the image with Promarkers & mounted it onto red mirri card, then cut it out leaving a fine border around the image. The papers are from Donna over at Bearly Mine & they are part of the Delicious Delights set. Used a MS deep Daisy punch to create the side effect & once again mounted it onto red mirri card. The sentiment is also part of the digi stamp set above, which I coloured again with Promarkers to match the colour used in the strawberry. Lace & dew drops from stash.

Tilda & Cherries

This is another of the 4 cards I started at a Tilda class at Sir Stamp A Lot last month & I have finished off  at home, by adding one of my own images Tilda with Cherries, which has been coloured using both Promarkers & Prisma pencils.
All the papers are from Magnolia.
I used a Doohickey die to edge the corners & a Nellie Snellen die to cut out Tilda & mounted onto the papers which I had assembled at the class.
Flowers & charm from stash.

Anything But A Card over at Divas By Design

Its time for another fortnightly challenge over at the Divas & this week, we want to see Anything But A Card. This week we are sponsored by Crafty Pad, so  get your thinking cap on & lets see your creations.

I decided to make a set of drawers & used the tutorial over on Katies blog.  I used my Nesties Label 2 die for the top & base & used a small stamp to make the scrolls. Coloured the flowers from stash with Promarkers to get the same tones & added ribbon to the drawer fropnts so they open. My intention is to give it to my sons girlfriend who has a big birthday coming up. (Obviously not empty either..lol)

Wine anyone?

These are some of my favourite stamps and are so versatile for both men & women. They by Creative Expressions & called Vintage Label Coloured with Promarkers. Papers are from my scraps drawer,( note to self, must use this drawer more often). I ribbled the stripey paper to give some texture & added dew drops, a hand written sentiment & a vine from my stash. Perfect for Fathers Day!

All in blue

I seem to be struggling to make cards at the moment, not sure whether it is mojo very low, or just plain old life getting in the way Anyway last weekend I sat down & made this one, I had been given the blue card & wanted to use them as I liked the stripes & dots combo, so mounted them & used my DooHickey die to create the borders. I then made the rose using a Dimension Fourth stamp, added some glitter, ribbon ,pearls, jewels & a feather & one finished card.

Time!

Very different from the last 2 cards I have made. I started out by stamping beige card with  a clock stamp from Creative Expressions Time set with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. I then added a smaller square of BooBunny paper to which I aged the corners by using the same ink. I coloured a Tim Holtz stencil with Spiced Marmalade ink & cut it out (so it looks like the die cut he does). Used another 2 stamps of the same stamp kit to complete the card & again used Distress inks around the edges. 2 brads from stash. I covered the whole card with Tim Holtz Crackle paint as well to give the aged look.

Another class Tilda

This is another one of the cards I made at my craft class last week & finished off at home. Its another image from the Butterfly Dreams collection, mounted up using papers from Magnolia & are again from Butterfly Dreams set. I used a MS Daisy punch to create the lacy strip mostly hidden under the image mount & added lace from my stash to the bottom. Flowers from my stash & the sentiment is from an Anna Griffin set.
