Todays card is using a popcorn bear stamp from Crafter Companions.. I have used red and black mirri card.. I have embossed white card using a heart embossing folders from crafts too.. I have embellished using a sequin/gem flourish and satin ribbon..
The Sentiment is just a red peel off... I have only coloured the red highlights on the stamped image..
I think this gives it a clean and effective look..

Just For You.

 

Good evening bloggers,

My First card for today is this cute image by Hangler sitting on a watering can (magnolia stamp). The backing papers I have used are again out of my stash of leftover card.. I have coloured the images using promarkers (cool grey 3, pear green, raw sienna) I have used nestability dies to stamp the sentiment on.  I have embellished using pale green gems for some sparkle and a green silk bow to give a bit of texture..

Good afternoon bloggers,

I would first like to apologise for my absence this past week, I have not made any posts and have hardly left any comments for anyone.  Sadly my Labrador puppy Coco passed away in the week, the vets said he caught an infection that got into his nervous system and to his brain and spine, there was nothing they could do to save him.. It is a big loss for myself and the family and we will miss him greatly.. but thankfully he is out of pain now and at rest... So I am trying to look positive on it.. :-(

I would also like to say that I am having a sale of some old cards and craft materials on ebay (seller: kellypotty) where I am donating 50% of sales to Cancer Research.. I will be adding new items daily so please take a look...

And now finally onto my first card of the week, this is one I have made for an order:
I have used the shirt and tie stamp by Funstamps.. I'm not sure of the backing papers as they were out of my stash (which is slowly going down)... I have used cord ribbon and buttons to embellish.. I have coloured the shirt in using promarkers (china blue) and I have paper pieced the tie using same papers as the backing ones..

Just called to say....I Love You

 

Here is a card I have made using an old set of Kanban stamps I have rediscovered after a little tidy up.
(its amazing what you forget you have)
The dotty backing papers are from the Kaisercraft paper pad (chapter one)... As my favourite colour is GREEN I just couldn't resist making this card.. I have tended to only use this stamp when using redish coloured papers (so I thought it was time for a change)..
I have used dies from nestabilities... to layer the image and sentiment..
I have coloured the image using promarkers (cocoa, ducky pink, lime green, leaf green, primrose and cool grey 2) I have embellished with green and black satin ribbon, and green gems...

I hope you like this fresh looking card. Thanks for viewing...

Love...


Here is another card I have made using the LOTV stamp (my christmas pressie)..
I have mat and layered onto White and Black Cardstock (out of my scraps box)
The Hearts backing paper is from craft creations.. (I think).. I have not used any embellishments on this card because I wanted the plain and simple feel to it.. All I have done is tied red ribbon down the edge..
I have coloured the image using promarkers (canary, hot pink, dusky pink, cocoa, meadow green, leaf green, ruby)..

With all my Love


I have made this card for my husband on our 5th Wedding Anniversary later on this month..
The papers were from a free set out of one of the magazines. I love the soft worn look of this card..
I have used the stamp (stamping bella) that my husband brought me for christmas.  I stamped using versafine ink (toffee colour)... I inked the endges of the papers using tim holtz distress ink...
The circle sentiment stamp is from LOTV, and the With all my love stamp is from a Personal Impressions stamp set... I have used a marianne border die and threaded organze ribbon through and attached a heart charm.. I have embellished this card using paper flowers that I have distressed and little florish die cuts (marianne) again distressed with ink..

Rock and Roll.

This is my first card for today.  I have used one of my old favourite stamp sets by Kanban.  I think these musical teddys work great for mens cards.  Im not sure of the name of the (strippy or spotty) backing papers I have used as these were out of my big basket of scraps that I am determined to use up this year... The sentiment stamp is from a new set I received for christmas (LOTV).. I have added a rock and roll peel off too..

Just for You

Good morning bloggers.

Hope you are all well...

Here is a card I made using my favourite papers at the moment (First Edition, Desert Bloom) and a new stamp I received for Christmas off my hubby...
I coloured tilda with promarkers (honeycomb, soft green, cocoa, dusky pink, peach). The sentiment stamp is from Personal impressions. For embellishments I just punched some flowers out of some scrap bit of paper from the same pad as the backing  papers.. I added some gems/pearls in the middle of the flowers for extra texture and detail.

Hope you like..  Bye for now..
