Rainbow Wedding

I was invited to my cousins civil partnership and wanted to make a fitting card for the occasion. So taking the rainbow as my theme, I made this

The image is from Sassy Cheryl’s which I coloured with copics. I would’ve liked to have put some glossy accents on the heart flowers but I ran out of time for it to dry.

The sentiment is computer generated using a font called “I’m Bored” which I downloaded from here.

The papers are from s.e.i. Joselyn pad which I carried through to the inside. The sentiment is a Waltzing Mouse stamp from the Fancy Phrases set.

This card fits the following challenges;

I’ve Been Black-Listed!!!

A colleague of my sister asked for a card for her sons 18^th birthday and she asked for it to be sexy. So I immediately thought of a Kenny K image and sent her a link to his site to have a look and see if the image would suit (it is from his mother!!). Well the IT department at her work obviously thought it was a little too raunchy and black-listed me from sending any more emails!!!

Here the card with the offending image

As I said the image is Bodacious Bev from Kenny K Designs and I’ve coloured her with my copics. I cut her out with a nestie using the out-of-the-box technique.

The papers are DCWV from the All Dressed Up stack. I cut the card base using a mega nestie in my grand calibur. I coloured a chip-board 18 black and then glittered it with black glitter. The sentiment is computer generated.

The inside with some matching DCWV paper and a Wild Rose Studio sentiment.

I’m sure you’ll be pleased to hear that my good reputation has been restored and my email address removed from the black-list!

The best is yet to be

I made this a while ago cos needed to make a card for my friend whose birthday is next week, “why?” I hear you say. Well I bought her a ticket for a concert/festival which is two days after the big day, and I thought she’d need a bit of time to get used to the idea and build up the excitement!!

I used a Sugar Nellie/Leanne Ellis stamp “Dreamer” coloured with...copics! I gave her nice red hair cos my friend has nice red hair! I blinged up her wings with some glamour dust.

I cut out some scalloped circles to make flowers and put a jewel cluster in the centre. The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up! and is on a Tim Holtz ticket.

Now for the inside!!! I took a gold envelope and adjusted it to fit the card and attached another scalloped circle flower to hold the envelope closed.

And what is in the mystery envelope?? (much excitement!!!)

Fency a Party?

No, it’s not a typo, it’s my attempt at a clever title. I’m not sure how well my cleverness fairs out there! Lol

Here’s a card I made for my sisters birthday

See! There’s a fence! Is my cleverness looking any better? No, I didn’t think so!

I used a lovely Tilda coloured with copics and the fence stamp is a CC designs stamp.

The papers are MME Tickled pink – I love these papers, they’re so bright and lovely! I edge punched some velum and sort of pleated it along the bottom and a Whimsey ticket stamp which I triple embossed with UTE powder. Lastly I attached a charm to a fancy pin along with a couple of equally fancy beads.

My First ATC

I never really 'got' ATC’s for a long time, I couldn’t really see what the point was. But during our Easter swap on the MAC forum I received an ATC which matched the card it accompanied. It was then that I thought what a great idea they are – I’m going to get a photo album to keep ATC’s in and when I look through the album and see each ATC I’ll remember the beautiful card that it came with which by then will probably be tucked safely away in a box!

So I thought I’d make an ATC to return – that being the whole idea of “swapping” ATC’s! But, as I had already sent off my card, I didn’t make it to match the card. Another reason for making it different to the card is because I found this gorgeous Easter image from Sketching Stamper called Easter Egg Fairy.

I coloured her with copics and added a few pearls from Wild Orchid Crafts. A ruffled ribbon around the edge and it’s done! Simples!
