This is a card I made for my friend who had her birthday at the start of February. This is also the frst card I made this year! And there hasn't been too many since :/

Photobucket

I used my new Martha Stewart stamp and punch leaf punch. I also used one of my new Magnolia stamps that I actually got ages ago - before christmas! My new copic markers were put to use on her!

Photobucket

And I used some lovely black lace to finish it off.

Photobucket

The papers I used are DCWV, all dressed up.

Photobucket

I finished it off by wrapping in black tissue in a box - plain white box for posting.

Thanks for looking.

Wayhey, I'm back on!

Sunday, 21 February 2010

Hello everyone!

Apologies for my long absence, but I couldn't get logged into blogger since I got a new computer just after christmas and lost my password. It is also down to me for not trying overly hard to find it mostly down to the fact that I haven't been feeling the best. Just after new year I got a chest infection which still hasn't cleared up and I'm just getting cold after flu after cold...

Anyway, I'm on now and have a few bits to sort out to show you but only a few, my mojo has been non-extistant since the new year, but hopefully this will start my motivation back up again!

Looking forward to catching up with everyone again!

My last easel card... for now!

Tuesday, 22 December 2009

A friend asked if I would make a card for him to give to his wife for christmas - the spec was sparkley and to put her name on it!

So this is what I came up with...

Photobucket

And here's the easel bit..

Photobucket

I used miss Anya and coloured her with my copics (I love saying that!). Mariva has lovely red hair, so I gave Anya red hair too.

Photobucket

I made a snowflake using my spellbinder die and acetate, I coated it with glossy accents and clear glitter and embedded a few swarovski's in it - including a huge one for the centre.

Photobucket

I used spellbinder dies for the computer generated sentiments. Again, I can't remember the name of the papers - I can't wait til I have the internet in my craft room again and I'll have all the info I need at hand, but that'll be in the new year.

I also made a box to put the card in but didn't take a pic.
Plus I made one very similar for my little sister - just changed the wording.

I hope you liked it, thanks for dropping by!

Holly for Holly

Monday, 21 December 2009

Here's my christmas card for my gorgeous wee neice Holly

Photobucket

As you can see it's another easel card

Photobucket

The fabby image is from Mo's digital pencil, and it's the first one I coloured with my brand new copic markers! I wasn't completely happy with the skirt but I know it'll take a bit of practise with them.

Photobucket

I'm afraid I can't remember who the papers are by, I'll try to find out. The ribbon, swarovski's and wire was from stash.

Thanks for looking!
