Love and Marriage

Good afternoon fellow crafters!
I hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather... *cough* I mean Rain!!

Today I have a card I have made for my dear friends who are getting married next weekend! They coupled up about a month before Mike and I so its very exciting :)

The card ties in nicely with a challenge occuring over at lovely MelJens.
The challenge is to create an easel card! I love Easel Cards so I couldnt miss the opporunity to be part of this challenge :)

And below is my creation.




















































The close up shots show the bling on the brides dress and the prima flower used to embelish it. It took me ages to find a flower i liked!!

Card Ingredients

Papers: Pink Petticoat
Digital Stamp: Digi Stamp Boutique
Sparkles: Glamourdust
Coloured: Water colours

A Pirates Life For Me

Argggggghhhhhhhhhhh me heartey's!
I think it is an impulse to speak like a Pirate whenever you see anything pirate related hehe!
This card is for my little cousin, it's a bit early yet but I saw the kit at Creative Cottage and fell in love with the cute little thing :)

A nice card to put together, and it even came with a cute little envelope! Perfect for a little boy :)

Below are some more shots of the card!
I just think it is so adorable! Was really quick to make too :)

Round and Round

Hello all,

Apologies for not posting recently, I have been mega busy with my uni course and thus crafting has taken a tiny, tiny step back.

But tonight I bring gifts in the form of new cards! Three to be precise :)

The first, is one I have created for my Aunt, a total sweet/chocolate/ice cream junkie! So this image from MelJen's is perfect for her :)

I decided to tie this card in with MelJens Circles Galore Challenge and also Sketch and Stash are doing a circle card challenge! My new stash for this lovely card was my X-Cut Shape Cutter (To do the circle)

Every one is loving those circles!!

So low and behold i present thee with:































Ice cream love!!
My inspiration for this card came from one of MelJens Designers. I love all of her cards!
Below are some close up shots of the details of the card

Ingredients:

Stamp: MelJens Double Scoop
Sentiment: MelJens Happy Birthday Freebie
Papers: Pink Peticoat fairy Dots
Image decoupaged and highlighted with glamour dust.




































I hope you like!!

Quit that Monkeying Around

Evening all!
Sorry I have not posted anything in a couple of days, things have been a wee bit crazy at work!!
Anyway, this cute cheeky chappy is a birthday card for my good friend Bazza who is a very cheeky chappy, so i thought that this monkey by Dustin Pike would be going to a good home!

I followed the sketch at Friday Sketchers.. Now i must admit my image came out a bit bigger so the elements did get a bit squished together! But they are all there, honest guv!

Here is the sketch:




And below is my interpretation looking very yellow and very monkeyish!



Here are a couple of artsy close up snaps!




Ingredients

Stamp courtesy of Dustin Pike
Digi image coloured with promarkers.
Papers are from the birthday Papermania Stack.
Sentiment is just typed in word and printed.
Banana and monkey eyes are glazed with sakura white gelly roll pen
Yellow Button is stash!

Hope you like him.

Hugs
