Romance & Love

Hi All,

Today must be the coldest day of the year, it's freezing!!!. Hurry up Spring, I've had enough of the cold.

Here's my entry into another card challenge,the last with a love theme, hurrah!!!


I made the box, decorated with a stamped and embossed topper using Wow embossing powders, finished with a stamped butterfly with faux gems and ribbon. Lastly I added the stamped sentiment ' Love...cannot be seen or heard...rather it must be felt'

 
This is my entry into the Wow embossing powder February monthly challenge.

Hi All,

Today's card is for Joanna Sheen's latest Challenge, Black and White.


I stamped the background image, then layered with die-cut butterflies, added the sentiment ' Spread your Wings and Fly' and finished with pearl embellishments from my stash.

February - The Month of Love

Hi All,

Miserable, grey and cold in London today.

Here's my latest card, I made this for my partner with Valentine's day drawing near.


The image is from http://fineartsbyrobertjackson.com/new-digital-arrivals.html, I love his drawings.
I coloured the image with promarkers, layered on floral papers. I made the flower, cut the heart frame and the card blank are from the Crafters Companion centura pearl card range. The card was finished with faux gems and a pearl.

'Animal' Fun

Hello,

Today, I moved out of my comfort zone. I've never made a card featuring animals even though I've bought animal stamps, crazy!!


 
The image is from Joanna Sheen, I coloured it with promarkers. I layered with various papers in my crafty store, added lace and fabric flowers. I then finished with the sentiment ' A special pair'.
 
 I'm entering this in the Pan Pastel UK Challenge - Animals http://panpasteluk.blogspot.co.uk/

'Dream' Girl

Hi All,

I've been a bit quiet lately, creative juices dried up. However, today I made this little card using an image I bought from www.mosdigitalpencil.com a long time ago but rarely use.



I coloured the image using promarkers, my colouring is not very good but I keep trying. I used background papers from various companies. The flowers were made using a Spellbinders die and the chain embellishment using beads, shell buttons and florist wire.
 
 
I'm entering this into the following challeges:

Thanks for looking
