This would have posted earlier but Microsoft Edge was not playing ball with me, what a surprise, I had it all set up but I couldn't get the pictures to post so I had to close everything down and come over to Chrome, I do hope those darn gremlins haven't found me already..........

Many thanks for visiting and for the lovely comments, the sun is shining at the moment so I will be taking Jess out, my brother unexpectedly turned up late last night with mum and asked if I could have her as his girlfriend had had a fall and was in A&E, it was nice to have her as James is away working in Winchester for a few days.

 I will be seeing you all a little later, until then have a great day.

PRETTY LADY

Hi all, today I decided to change my living room around, on my own as usual, but this time it proved a little too much and I have hurt my back.  I took a nice hot shower so will be feeling alot better tomorrow.......I hope, lol.  I am going to take the rest of the night off and relax but I wanted to post this card first, I finished her off yesterday I am hoping that you will like it.

I have used an image from Ching-Chou Kuik called Spring In The Air

I coloured her with both Graph It markers and Copics, the frame is from Tattered Lace that I had delivered yesterday morning, I also used my Spellbinders Corner Dies, and my new Die'sire Quilling Flower Die which came the same time as the frame one and my Joy Butterfly Border die. I added some more flowers, doily, sentiment and some liquid pearls.  The colour scheme is a little different for me but when I put the blue and pink together it seemed to work.

BALLOONS OF LOVE

Hi all, I didn't think that I would get here as Google/Blogger is on a major go slow, but I made it and I have a card that I would like to share with you and enter into some challenges:

The theme of my card is LOVE I have used an image from CHING-CHOU KUIK called BUNCH OF LOVE

I have coloured her with both Graph It Markers and Copics, the papers are from LOTV, I used faux stitching around the balloons and image, I added glitter for the balloon strings, I then added a red doily heart, sentiment and some pearl liquid.  

I am not very adventurous with my crafting as I used to be, I am getting the urge to try something a little different now and again and on this card I have actually done some paper tearing for the border across the centre.

I have used a 7 x 7 black card base the papers have all been mounted onto red cardstock, the image I mounted on both black and red cardstock.

I apologise for the picture quality but I could not get the right lighting on this occasion.

ROSE IN STORM

Hi all, tonight I have a card to share with you that I finished yesterday I have used a new (to me) image from Ching-Chou Kuik she is called Rose in Storm which I thought was highly appropriate considering the awful weather we are having and apparently due to have in the coming days.

I have gone for a rather dramatic colour combo of black and yellow, I coloured the image with Graph It Markers and Copics for the skin tones.  The black cardstock I embossed with a rose embossing folder, I used my Tonic die for the trellis then added some Cosmic Black Pearl PVA for the pearls, finally I added a new Kanban floral sentiment that I got in the post yesterday and some roses and white organza bow.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

CHING - CHOU KUIK DIGITAL CHALLENGE - ADD FLOWERS AND RIBBON

FAIRYTALE STAMPERS - FLOWERS

THE SISTERHOOD OF CRAFTERS - ANYTHING GOES WITH A TWIST ADD SOMETHING NEW (IMAGE AND SENTIMENT)
