Hi Everyone

Hi to everyone.
Getting a little more used to this blogging now, although I have soooo much to learn. Anyway I have 2 cards today to show you. Your comments would be appreciated, good or bad.
 This is one of my magnolia stamps. I coloured her using aquamarkers. This is one of my first attempts at the aquamarkers. The backing papers were from some of my freebie stash. A few pearls in the corners. The sentiment is from one of my polkadoodle stamps.
 I think this stamp is lovely!!

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts
I hope you all like this one!!
Enjoy your evening

How time flies!!

Good evening everyone, please accept my apologies for not putting anything on here for a few days. Ive had a busy time, and I also received my new prisma pencils, so have been trying to get to grips with them. I will post a card tomorrow using the prisma pencils.
New Baby card
Sorry for the terrible lighting on this card, I will try harder next time. The backing paper for this card came from Popcorn Bear CD, which is available from Crafters Companion. The stamp used was from Popcorn Bear collection. I love this image. I coloured it using watercolours. I used distress inks round the edges of the card. The only other thing I added was gold mirror card. I hope you all like it, and I will try harder using my blog!!

Another day and another card!!

Well its the lovely bank holiday weekend!! And I hope everyone has a good time.
I made this card for my mum's friend who was moving house.
The stamped images are from the Polka Doodle range, I coloured it with Letraset Promarkers. The flowers were from a Polka Doodle cd, All around and Everywhere I think it was. The backing paper was also inked with distress ink.
The sentiment was done on my Xyron machine.
I hope you all like the card. Please feel free to comment
Enjoy your days off

Sorry I've not posted for a few days, Saturday was my event of the year, I went to the craft fair at Aintree Racecourse, and what a day I had. Bought far too much but thats what its all about!!!
Todays card was one I made for my daughter to give to her nana for her birthday.
The backing card and the stamps came from Inspirations at Preston. Each little cat is individually stamped, and I loved doing this card. The little cats are adorable. I used stazon ink in black to stamp with. The only other thing on this card, was the wording, which I used my cricut machine for. Very quick and simple to make.
Have a good day everyone!!

Another day!!!

Hi,
Sorry didnt get chance to post yesterday, was a bit of a hectic day at work. So here is todays card!!!

I made this card for my mum for Mothers Day, and she loved it. Its a decoupage card, and I used an image from Cupcakecrafting Floral Delights CD. This image did take some time and a lot of patience to cut out, but I do think the image was well worth it. The backing papers also came from the same CD. I used a bit of glitter on the flowers, cos I DO like to use glitter. A martha stewart punch was used for the border. And I used my cricut machine to cut the tags and my letters. I hope you all like it, and please feel free to comment about my cards.
Back to work I go, I hope you all enjoy your day !!

My latest card

This was a card I made for a friends daughters birthday. It was made with a Lily of the Valley stamp. I adore their stamps. The backing papers came from a Forever Friends cd, and the letters were cut with my trusty Cricut machine. The image was watercoloured with watercoloured pencils, the ribbon started life out white, but I coloured it with promarkers. 

 The flowers came from Wild Orchid Crafts. I also used my martha stewart punch. A bit of glitter here and there on the girl and it was all done. I hope you like it???
