Make It Crafty Boot

Another one of Make It Crafty images, this is the Boot House & can be purchased here . It is coloured with Promarkers & mounted onto papers from my scrap drawer ( I really must use these more often). The flowers and ribbon came from my stash as did the candy. The sentiment is a QVC one from years ago, which I have coloured & edged again with Promarkers to match the card.

Make It Crafty Mushroom/Toadstool

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR DIVAS BY DESIGN DT CARD

Before I went on holiday I purchased several of Zoes Make It Crafty images as I do love them & she had a sale going on. Here is one of them.

This is the mushroom house which I have coloured with Prisma pencils & blended with Sansador. I have mounted it onto Bearly Mine papers. (One was a freebie & the other from Spots & Gingham CD). A MS Daisy punch was used to decorate the edges.

As it is an easel card, I stuck dew drops onto the card to keep it standing upwards. Another Daisy edge was added to the bottom of the card with more dew drops.

I used my Craft Robo to make the Moving Home words. Flowers is hand made with a little glitter added.

Golden Wedding

Right folks, I am back, after a 4 week holiday in Cyprus where I topped up the tan & generally had a good time in the sun. I did take my Prisma pencils with me, but didnt do as much colouring as I thought I would.
Anyway I was asked to make a Golden Wedding Anniversary card this week & here it is.
I used Classical Bridal Couple Magnolia image which I coloured with Promarkers. To make the gold effect tag & mount, I sprayed a sheet of card with Dawn Bibby Designs Golden Glitz Shimmer & then cut out the shapes I wanted. The vellum backing paper is from Jak Heath. Years ago before she was famous in the craft world lol, she was a member of a forum I visited all the time & she made a few CDs, of which this is from. I changed the colour slightly to a gold effect & attached to the card with brads (QVC years ago). The tag is a Magnolia die & the swirl is a Sissix die. Ribbon, flowers, hat pin, all from stash. I have also dug up some peel offs, peel offs I hear you say, noone uses them anymore, do they??
Inside I have used My Craft Studio to create a writing oval & inserted Golden Wedding.


Excuse the different colours, thats my photos, they are the same I promise! On the box I have also used the same paper, attached a big ribbon & more peel offs.
I am entering this into the following challenges & promise to get around my favourite blogs very soon.

Order Opus-Gluei No Words ( no words on outside of card, only on inside)

Diva By Design Pastels

Its time for Team B to showcase this weeks challenge over at Divas By Design

This week it is Pastels & is sponsored by Crafty Emmas

I made this card using pale pink pearlised card, onto which I Cuttlebugged Swiss Dots folder paper & rounded off the corners & stuck it onto the card. I then used a Doohickey die to add a border acroos the bottom. Onto that I added a pretty pink & white ribbon & bow. The butterfly is also a Doohickey die (Dragonfly with extra body cut off), onto which I added dew drops.Another Doohickey Tag die mounted & the sentiment from a stamp set I have (Elusive Images) I think. The flowers are from my stash & mounted to make a display.

Parisian Dreams

This is a card I made before going on holiday using Parisian Tilda which I have coloured with Distress inks. Spiced Marmalade, Walnut Stain & Sage Green.
I Googled a free image of the Eiffel Tower & again coloured with Distress Inks.
The papers I am afraid were in my stash, so no idea whose they are, but lending themselves perfectly to the card.
I added faux stitching to the edges of the papers.
Eiffel Tower charm added onto ribbon which I have attached using Eyelets. Flower from stash & sentiment is an old QVC purchase.

On hols

Just to say I am away for a month now & whilst I do have internet access, it is very slow & frustrating, so whilst I am trying to keep up with my DT commenting (not that well this morning as blogger is alsoo messing me about), please forgive me if I do not get to comment on my fav blogs.
I do have some cards saved in drafts, so you may just see a card or two from me during July, but will be not so good on the commenting.
By the way its gorgeous & sunny & hot here in Cyprus.
