£10 Joanna Sheen voucher.

Here is the first card

The backing papers are from 'My minds eye' Spring papers and have been matted onto blue card which I have lace punched .  I  have also used cross stitch thread for effect on the top layer.

The image is from Kelley's kids called Dress up at stitchy bear stamps.  She has been coloured with pro markers and decoupaged for effect.  I have used pearl gems for the necklace and pearls on the
sides of the card.

The sassy sentiment is from a greeting farm stamp sentiments set and has been stamped onto the smallest scalloped oval nestie die cut, which has been inked and a charm has been hung from the bottom.

Say it with style!

And onto post 2.

I have layered a gorgeous piece of glittered vellum from Papermania onto a piece of silver mirror card with pearl brads to keep it in place.  I have then embossed a piece of white card with a swirls embossing folder and layered it onoto the same mirror card.

The stamp is a from a Joanna Sheen wedding set and it has been stamped onto a Marianne creatable die cut which I have inked with clear versa mark then added silver embossing powder and heat embossed.

The flowers have been punched out of the same glitter vellum and plain vellum using 2 xcut flower punches, and have silver pearl gems in the centre.  The leaves have been punched out of the silver mirror card.

I have used 2 flower  gems, and ultra mini, and mini gems to create the swirls in the corner.

What's up Doc?

Well here we are again, another dull day in Sidmouth and another 2 posts to catch up on all my challenges!  Don't think we are doing much today so might even havesome time to sit at my craft desk, 2nd time in a week!  Starting to get withdrawal sypmtoms I think!!  lol

Ohh and I had another lovely suprise yesteerday, I came top 3 in the Stampfairy sketch challenge.  Thank you ladies.

Here is card 1

The backing paper is from docrafts Papermania Capsule collection 'Mono' range.  And I have used a dotty embossing folder on the white card.  The sketch for this card is from Sketch and stash.

I am afraid I am not sure where this stamp is from, I have 3 sets of these , 2 male and 1 female, all work themed.  I think they might be from crafters companion?  I have had them for years and got rid of the packaging a long time ago!  It has been stamped onto a Nellie Snellen multiframe and coloured with pro markers.

I have wrapped cross stitch thread around the white card layer and stamped a sentiment onto another nellie snellen multiframe and inked around the edge.

The corners have been cut out of a square, layered onto grey and I have added buttons and thread to the centre.

I will be entering this card into the following challenges

Sparkle & shine

What a beautiful morning, the sun is shining and I am in my cropped trousers at last!  And here I am about to show you a Christmas card!!  Oh well at least it is shiny too!! Hee hee.

The backing papers are from the Kate Knight Christmas collection paper stack that was free with a Quick cards magazine, probably last year or the year before!  On the green layer I have put 2 stripes of lace down the sides.

The gingerbread house digi stamp background is from Karen's doodles, and I have cut it out with spellbinders nesties, lattice rectangles.  I have inked and glittered around the edge, and coloured the image in with pro markers. I have also added pink gems and mini gems and glitter to the image.  The Sentiment is from a See D's christmas set and has been stamped onto a Nellie Snellen multiframe die.

Tilda has been stamped and coloured with pro markers, with some glitter added to the fur on her coat.

The large snowflakes are Marianne creatables, and I have added glitter and gems, and the 2 small snowflakes are a tonic studio snowflake punch and I have again added glitter and a gem.

I will be entering this card into the following challenges
