Little Girls Birthday card

This is a card I have made for a little girl whose birthday treat from her Granny is a trip to see The X Factor Tour in Belfast. She loves Joe the winner of X Factor so I featured him on the front of the card. I googled some images and matted and layered them on some red, black and then holographic mirri board. I added some star gems and some dotty ribbon from my stash. The sentiment and her name are computer generated.

Evening All
This is what I have been up tonight. I haven't coloured an image for a while so I thought I'd have a go at this lovely Whiff of Joy stamped image. I coloured her with distress inks and added a little bit of stickle glue to bling her up a little. The papers are MMe - the colours are fab i just love them I added some ribbon some punched flowers with a few gems and some punched leaves. The sentiment is from K&Co.

Papertake Challenge Entry + A Spoonful Of Sugar

Here we are with tonights effort - my entry following the papertake challenge sketch. I am entering it into ASpoonful of Sugar challenge as well  as it is recycled. The image is stamped onto a piece of newspaper which I had distressed using distress inks and some embossing powder in gold.The papers are all K & Co - dont know the name they were a huge box of papers that I lugged home all the way from America after a holiday last year. The bow is a piece of twine that was on some gifts that I received at Christmas, this along with the newspaper would count as recyling.

Blog Challenges

Wow I'm on a roll today - three postings in one day!!lol
This card I thought I'd enter into challenges  - Sketch Saturday and Colour Create challenge which is mint, choc and cream. I stamped over the base card using a brown ink, then used some papermania green and bazzil brown card to matt and layer the tag which  was a freebie in some magazine a while back. The ribbon is brown organza from my stash and the pearl gems are from an online ebay shop. I also stamped some of the pale cream amd mint prima flowers with the image I used for the background.

Children's cards

I have made a couple of kids cards tonight for a little boy who will be 4. He loves pirates and Buzz Lightyear. I made a background for the pirates cards from an image I found on google. I distressed it a little around the edges. The pirate is a decoupage I had in my files sorry dont know where I found it. I added the same decoupage image only a little larger to the inside of the card.

Buzz Lightyear I also found on google and this card is just a series of different coloured nestie circles. I added a Martha stewart punched border and a sentiment. The front of the card is half white and half silver mirri board.

Playing around- inspired by Tim Holtz

Morning All
 This is a little frame I made last night . I was just playing around with some stamps and had some pieces of nestie circles left over from another project. I had an idea running about in my head for a Mother's day card using the nesties as frames but as usual went completely off course and ended up with this. I used the free stamp in the craft stampers magazine to make the background on the frame, some cosmic shimmer embossing a bit of stitching on the machine some distress inks, punched flowers and leaves and an old photo of me when I was about 7! Here's the result. This is the first time I have ever made anything like this and am quite pleased with it

Not great photos but I will try to take some more later. Off now to paint the study!
