A fishy little number

Good morning to you all

hope you had a lovely weekend.  I spent all day Saturday watching my silhoette cut out bunting, well not all day, but it seemed like it.  I got my new glasses on Sunday and wow love them to bits, so light too, no more headaches.

so what have I got for you today, well I made one of many fishing cards for the males in the family and after seeing in the online silhouette shop these amazing silhouettes just had to have a go and wow so impressed.

So here it is
Sort of bigger than my normal cards and needed A3 card to make the base, but think if I had taken it any smaller it would not have worked so well.  I bowed the sentiment to stand away from the card.
I used several black and white layers and made the background with distress inks and a circle mask.  The water I have used those micro beads they look ace, shame you cannot see them so well and finished off with a few pearls.

Hope you like it :)

Back to today I have for you

Using
Papers - Peach Blossom
I made an Easter Card
Now I don't normally do this size of card, but wanted to enter the Sketch Saturday challenge, this for me and my Wild Rose Studio papers, caused just a little thought process, to allow the 6 x 6 papers to fit, so I needed to split the page and hide the join.  I did this with two of the complimentary papers out of this stack, adding the divide with a punched border with some ribbon wrapped around it.  I added my circular image, but then mmmmmmm the star stopped me again, so I replaced this with a large daisy flower and finished off the Spring spray, before adding all of those lovely string pearls, pearl bows,  pearls and pearl flourishes.  The sentiment was drawn with my silhouette cameo sketch pens and then neatly cut out with the silhouette cameo, all I did was colour it up with my distress ink, cool, will be doing this again. The flowers on this are from here

Love at Christmas

Good morning to you all

What a lovely weekend, had plenty of time to get the housework done and to play, all with a little sunshine that does help us get in the mood for lovely creations. Today I am off to the opticians to get some new glasses, that might help me to see better on my colouring :)

So today I have a little House Mouse for you, now this does not meet the current theme of flowers and flourishes on the


but I would like to encourage you all to hop over and view the eye candy on offer for the mid week squeek!!!!!!!!!!!!

So here is my card
Just had to use my berries to match the image, I treated myself to them from Live and Love Crafts and they are gorgeous
So the base colour and contrast on this one is red with some of those gorgeous papermania papers.  I used my grand nesties for the circle layer and my holly PATP to create the corner detail and panel for the ribbon.  The little gold pearls are from the Hobby House and the ribbon on this one is from the local garden centre called Pennels, it is a wire edged ribbon so holds it shape really well and the double looped bow can be shaped for depth.

Here is the close up on that copic coloured image
So darn cute!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Best Friend and I

Good morning to you all

Wow what a gorgeous day it was yesterday, I did a bit of housework and then played.  I had popped to see my best friend on Wednesday for coffee and we ended up colouring and playing as you do, this is one of the images I needed to finish off, that I did on Thursday and I made up the card yesterday.

So I made a birthday card with my image and then as I am enjoying my crafting, it has been a while, with the old mojo running low, well anyway I sort of got carried away with the embellishments again.

 So girly, isn't it...................
 I used a base layer and contrast of lilac card from Grimsby Crafts.  The papers are the lilac Papermania ones.  I punched the first layer on the right hand side corners before layering up the other two panels.  I slipped the off the edge Joy butterfly die just under the punched edged panel.  I added lace under the centre panel on the right hand side.................. I know then I almost hid it altogether :(  I added pearl strings, heart pearl flourish, pearls, pearl medallion, charm and frantage all from the Hobby House and then the flowers were white and from Wild Orchid Crafts but I used TH distress ink Liking Lilac and airbrushed the others with my V15 copic, before placing on the cards with some silver twiddly bits and some leaves.  Oh then I added a couple of tags and finally the sentiment, which is a Wild Rose Studio new release. Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmm did I miss anything.................oh gosh yes I did that would be the lovely ribbon and bow from Lidl. Can I just say they do sell the most amazing ribbon :)

So on to that image coloured in copics with a little antique linen distressing around the edges
