2 colours only.

Hello,

Today I'd  like to share a tag I've made for a gift soon to be given. This week Nikky has asked us to make something using only 2 colours (other than skin and hair) and I have chosen to make a gift tag because let's face it at this time of the year we need lots (most of us anyways).

I cut the shape using a Dutch Doobadoo but first I removed the bell from the bottom. Then I printed off red and green paper from winnie-winterland -papers 7 and a couple of sentiments from winnie-winterland-big-kahuna-download-bundle which the papers above are from.

 Then I printed off winnie-wings-digital-stamp and coloured her in using my alcohol markers sticking to reds and greens making up a couple of shades! I chose to colour her hair auburn after choosing the reds.
I cut a couple of trees and offset those adding some white drops of Nuvo, then I added the image using foam pads. A little scrap of ribbon to the top which I felt pulled it together with the bold 25 December at the top. I decided to add some dots of gold Nuvo drops around the edge. A shake of fine glitter to her bobble hat and chunky shards to her wings and we are finished.

I do hope you can join in again this week, as always anything goes.

Birthday Lady

Hello,

Today I'd like to share this card I have made for my Auntie who turns 70 today, I have to say she is a very young 70. The other day I read somewhere that 70 is the new 60!

I have chosen to use this lovely All Dressed Up image and I have coloured her in using my alcohol markers choosing an array of pinks. Then I selected papers from Mintay-Dreamer. from Crafteezee UK along with others from my stash.
Then I made my own flowers using Foamiran . I have watched lots of YouTube videos by Emilia Sieradzan and finally took the plunge! I have to say I was so pleased with the results.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you like what you have seen and feel you can leave a word or two.

Special Friend Birthday

Hi,

Today I'm sharing this card I have made for an order to a special lady. I've not made a tall card in ages and after watching YouTube videos on flower making I decided it was time  to rectify this.

I chose to use some papers and coordinating image from Pion Designs. I stitched around the blue paper but only 2 sides on the cream flowery one. The image I tight cut and added to some blue then placed that on top of cream deep lace using foam pads for lift.

I have made 2 of the flowers from Foamiran and the other 2 are purchased. I have added a metal leaf along with a flower adding a blue pearl to its centre first. The sentiment has been printed from my computer and added with lift. To finish a few drops of Nuvo were added.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Christmas Card in a Box.

Hello,

Tuesday is the day to start the new challenge over at digichoosday and this week we are still inspiring you with your Christmas card making.

Today the DT have been challenged to make a Card in a Box. I have to say I do love making these so I was happy with this challenge.
Here is what I have made for you

and this is how we arrived at the end result. First off I have printed off papers and embellishments from winnie-white-christmas-big-kahuna-download-kit I chose 2 papers and cut them to cover back plate and the fronts and front flaps, all edges have been inked with Red Robbin.
You can see I have covered the 3 shelves inside with the paper too.

You can see that I covered the three shelves inside with paper too. The tree has been fussy cut and attached to the back plate. I then took the cute sentiment from Gnome-men-snow-ho-ho-clear-stamp and added that under the tree.

Then choosing other images I fussy cut them out and added them to stalks of covered stiff card at different angles so they can be seen when the card is on the shelf.

I have then taken images and attached them to the flaps on front and sides.

 The tree has been mounted over the top of a similar one used on the back plate with dots of gold glitter added to areas on the image.

The sentiment and baubles have all been added using pop dots for lift. Here is a image showing how the card will fold flat to go in a envelope for posting.

Thank You for stopping by today. I do hope you can join in with us but remember you don't have to make a card in a box as it is a anything goes challenge.

Christmas Gifting.

Hello,
Today I'm sharing a card I've made using this lovely Paper Nest Dolls. Winter Gift Emma  this is the first time I have used a image from Paper Nest Dolls and I must say they are lovely to use.

This image could be used for any gift giving in chilly weather but today I decided to do a Christmas card.

 I've taken a paper from a recent purchase and passed it through a dotty embossing folder, I matted it on to a sparkly green paper and then I cut snowflakes and a corner die from the same paper. I used the same snowflake and corner die and cut it in white. The image was matted on to the same green, then I used a Merry Christmas stamp on a white strip and matted it on to the same green paper which I had cut a Verve Die out of tying it all together.

The image I coloured in using my Promarker pens.

To A Special Friend

Hello!

Today I'd like to share a card I have made using the lovely Mintay-Dreamer 6x6 paper pad from crafteezee.co.uk
This paper pad comes with 4x12 design sheets so it allows you to cut in to them and decoupage up elements. You can see this in the second photo.

I have added flowers, stamens and berries also from crafteezee  along with dots of glitter glue and Nuvo drops in pink.

The card was well received and another has been ordered which I'm happy to do.

Thanks for stopping by today, hope you have time to leave a word or two as I love to see who has stopped by.

Besties Birthday

Hello,

Today I'd like to share the card I made for my best friend Sandy over in Florida it's her birthday today.

I have used this cute little Tilda stamp I recently purchased from crafteezee.co.uk and I have coloured her in using my alcohol markers. I have used the dies from the Tonic magazine and backed them using the prettiest glitter card from merlyimpressions.co.uk . Because this had to go airmail I've kept it quite flat (I'm sure she understood). 

Thanks for stopping by today.
