Anniversary Card

Hi its me again,

Just like to show you a card I made last night and finished this morning for my daughter Clair & hubby Dale's Anniversary next Wednesday.  This weekend it is Melbourne Cup Racing Carnival its a public holiday so I posted the card this morning so she would get it by Wednesday. 


The image is darling & from issue 139 of Quick cards made easy, coloured with Copic markers, DP's are PION Botanical Journal Borders,
Manor House & Green Tara flowers, muslin and Ranger Crystal stickles, lace from my craft stash.

Until next time which will be a Christmas card with a surprise!


Tilda with Scarlet the Pig


Hi everyone,

Here is a card for my youngest granddaughter who was 5 years old on the 25th October and will be joining her big sister at school next year, oh my goodness they grow up fast!

I've used Tilda with Scarlet the Pig as Tamara loves Peppa Pig and Purple, this is the closest I could get to it lol.



Materials:

Maja DPs
 Doily
the sign post I made
Daisy lace
Chiffon ribbon
Ballon die
all from my stash
lots of Stardust Stickles.

Have to say Tamara had perfect sunny day and she loved her card!

until next time, happy crafting.

 

Cards with Hessian

Hi everyone,

I would like to show you some of the cards I have been making over the last few weeks for a florist in my area.
These are only 4 of the 15 cards that I made in a little under 2 weeks - phew!
The blackboard parts on the cards are for putting own sentiments on once purchased.





I was really pleased with the way they all turned out considering I had never made a card with Hessian on, thank goodness for Spotlight for the hessian and blackboard paint!
It was definitely out of my comfort zone but once started it was fun.

Until the next time, happy crafting,
