Whiff of Joy

Hi again this is my third and probably final posting for the day so please check out my other two cards below and let me know what you think of them. I have finally managed to do a card for The Whiff of Joy challenge this is another one that I just kept running out of time for. I am using another new stamp that was sent to me for my birthday by Linda and just had to use it with this weeks sketch (Linda I hope you like what I have done with her lol). I have used a mixture of Elusive images and handmade papers added a few pearls and gems and flowers the image is coloured with pro markers I was very happy with this one and the colours I think suit this little beauty. I hope you like it hugs to all.

Stamps and Smiles-The Fresh Batch

Hello it's me again this is my second posting of today and is my entry for this weeks Stamps and Smiles challenge and is based on a sketch. I have proudly used a little stamp that was sent to me for my birthday and I believe it is a Sugar Nellie Home Grown stamp, I have often been tempted to buy a few of these but wasn't sure how I would get on with them.....well now I know they are lovely to work with and may well try and add a few more to my collection (oh gosh that wish list is getting so long lol). I have coloured with pro markers used Bearlymine backing papers added some gems and a ribbon and a flower in matching colours. I hope you like it hugs to all.

Little Yellow Challenge and Inspirational Card Sketch

Morning all hope the sun is shining for you and that you are all well. This is my entry for this week's Little Yellow Challenge the theme being to make a boys card and ICS. I have kept missing this one, like many, the time just goes so fast and before I know it the challenges have all changed. The image is a Digi Stamp but at the moment I can't think where I got it from so I do apologise but it is fun and thought it would be just right for a boys card. I have used various scraps of bp to make the squares added some little star buttons and a couple of mirror discs the image has been coloured with promarkers. I hope you like it hugs to all.

Truly Scrumptious and Creative Card Crew

Hi all I managed to make this card the eve of my birthday for two challenges the first being Truly Scrumptious based on the sketch and Creative Card Crew the theme being Polka Dots. I have for so long wanted to make a card like this where the sentiment was the main image and when I received my stamps from Stamp Galaxy I was able to do so. I have used Stampin Up backing papers received from blogging buddies in USA in a RAK I love them and don't really like to use them but in this instance they were just perfect. The shape was cut from my Cricut and was white but I coloured it with my Promarker Raw Sienna and in real life it looks like a soft suede. I stamped the image in Versafine Onyx Black and stamped a floral leaf round the one side in Versafine Sepia. I added a few flowers and voila. I think I took the photo a bit off angle because it looks a bit crooked but it is quite lovely in real life. I hope you like it hugs to all.

Gosh finally managed to upload this picture I was going to show some of my garden but blogger wouldn't play ball so I will have to show them later.

This is my entry for this week's Cute Daisy May Challenge and is based on a sketch. I have used an 8" x 8" card for this one so I could show off one of the new images that I have just got I think she is quite beautiful. I have used the circle again from a Charmed Craft download the papers are Bearlymine I have used my Cloth Butterfly again which I stamped onto a piece of the same backing paper and just added some pearl doodles for texture also some flowers and a sentiment I hope you like it hugs to all.

Pollycraft Monday Challenge

Morning all, hope you are all well and enjoying your day. It is quite overcast here with sporadic showers which means that the washing my son kindly left for me this morning will have to be hung on the clothes horse inside or it will never get dry and no doubt he will want to wear it asap...typical boy or what lol. When I ask him to tidy his room his idea of that is bringing all the clothes that he has thrown on the floor down for washing yet he has a chest of drawers and a wardrobe but they never get used unless I put his clean clothes away.....is this normal?

Anyway I love him to bits and he always comments on my cards lol. This is my entry for this week's Pollycraft Monday Challenge based on a sketch and also themed food and drink. Pollycraft have now opened up their challenge to include any image so I thought this little Daisy May would be just perfect with the strawberry and I also found some backing paper in my freebie folder with strawberries on. I hope you like it hugs to all.
