Cards from some time ago ...

I made this advent calendar for my little friend Sarah who is my neighbour's daughter. It was all cut on my Silhouette. I can't say assembly was easy but it was the first one I made, perhaps it gets easier! Once complete it was filled with chocolates.

This card was stamped and water coloured for my dad's birthday last year.

Another jungle card - this time for my grandson Dexter's 2nd birthday. The front is mainly flat stamped using masking. The inside animals are (I think) were all stamped, coloured and cut out. They were stuck on after the background was put in. Little cut outs were made in the background to allow the animals to be put forward of one another.

 

 The peacock stamp is from Chocolate Baroque. Stamped and decorated with gems and die cuts. The flowers are made from felt using Sue Wilson's method.

 These birds were from Creative Expressions - so cute. Stamped and coloured then layered up on various papers. The swirls are die cuts.

 A Crafters Companion Frou Frou stamp set on lovely papers which I think are from the CD Rom which matches the stamps.

 Stamps from Sheena Douglass' oriental range but the lady stamp is one I've had for a long time, I think she came from America. Unfortunately I can't remember the company.

 The card shape was made using one of the glitter girls boards. The fairy is from Linda Ravenscroft's range and is coloured using ProMarkers and Spectrum Noir markers. Small rosebuds are set over die cut flowers.

 The football card was made for a football mad friend who lives in Singapore. He loved it. The image was stamped from the Flippin range and either water coloured or alcohol pens (can't remember). All the images were cut out and added to the card base.

 I can't remember where the stamps came from for the 'couple' picture. It was stamped and coloured with promarkers/SN pens and mounted onto black/lilac cards. The roses were made using Sue Wilsons method and dipped into UTEE.

 Using the Cameo cutter the words were cut from the red card. The cut outs have been added to the top and the cut out bit makes the insert. The car is decoupaged with bits added.

Poker

The Oldies CDRom is where these images are from. The first one is the front image and shows the game just starting. The second is well into the game! The small card embellishments are very small playing cards.

Birthday card for Jackie

This was made for Jackie's birthday 21/3/14
The background was roughly coloured with distress inks and splashed with water, dried off then stamped and white embossed with powder, then run through a flower embossing folder and highlighted with a little ink. The butterfly is from an image of the now Chocolate Baroque (it used to be Graphicus) and coloured with a mixture of distress ink and cosmic shimmer paints. Mounted onto black and yellow card for contrast. The flowers were made by stamping and following Sue Wilson's tutorial (Creative Expressions), they were dipped in UTEE to glaze. The leaves were stamped and embossed onto green patterned card and cut out. Both were added using 3D glue gel.

Birthday card for Louise 30/3/14

This is the card I made for my daughter's birthday. She loves anything from Tudor times so this fits the bill (almost).

They are images decoupaged from a Debbi Moore CDRom with stamped and embossed backgrounds, cut out flowers and bits added.

Remember when....

These cards were made with images from the Remember When range CDRom. All are decoupaged with odd bits added.

Cars

These all came from a CDRom, which unfortunately I can't remember the name of - sorry. They are all decoupaged images on various backgrounds and die cuts. Bits added from my oddments pot.

Flower cards

A selection of cards recently made. Simply stamped and coloured with a mixture of Pro Markers and Spectrum Noir pens. Distress ink features too. Then mounted on various backgrounds.
