Roses are Red

I made this easle style card for an order, the brief I was given was "she likes flowers" Well I hope she likes this floral card!

I am entering this into the Stamptacular Sunday challenge where the theme is Whatever!

I made the rose design papers myself in PSP  and the darker DP is from a papermania set. The stamp is also Papermania that I have coloure with Promarkers and added glitter. I chalked the background. The paper roses were hand pinched and shaped then glittered  I also made a matching box.

the back of the card shows a tag for writing any messages

Together ............

Cute Card Thursday have the theme "Out With The Old" as this weeks challenge, they want to see you using some of your old stash  

I snagged this image a while ago from Arthurs Clip Art site and loved it.

I have coloured the image with my Promarkers and added Aqua glitter to the rain and puddles

The hearts were cut on my Bug with the Hearts and Stamps Die that I have had for ages and ages so this could be my OLD stash. I wasn't sure about using yellow for hearts but it kinda works? anyway I jazzed them up with a lickety spit of glitter.

The Design Paper is called Retro something or other (oops forgot and don't have packaging)

I designed the word art on my lap top 

The ribbon is some old stash too

Although this card is kinda romantic I didn't want it too fussy  or girly as i'm gonna give it him indoors 

Hope he doesn't mind the glitter ;0)

DU2DS Friday Challenge Things With Wings

Great challenge this week at DU2DS Friday Challenge and as the title states "Things With Wings" the challenge is open to lots of interpretations. I took the title literally and made a butterfly! I thought I would try something different and a little out of my comfort zone. Printing On Acetate! I would like to say it was easy but i struggled to get the acetate through my printer lol, I eventually managed it by attaching it to a sheet of white paper. So I changed the colour of the butterfly and added a little drop shadow (psp) then printed multiple images on the acetate. I then cut out the main image and then two layers of the wings. I glittered the wings on the underside and when that had dried I attached the wings to the butterfly with silicone and let that dry.

I used pearl papers that I ran through my Bug to emboss, cut the circles with nesties and the scallops are punched with Fiskars threading water scalloped punch. The flowers are punched with the retro flower punches and the flourish and bookplate are sizzix dies. I attached the butterfly when dried and Voila! I really like this card but how ever many times I tried I could not get a decent piccy, It is much more vibrant in the flesh! Have a fab weekend and I hope you will be joining us this week at DU2DS

Oh, if you like the butterfly digi stamp you can get it here

Truly Scrumptious Edwin

This card is for the Truly Scrumptious Challenge where there is a fab sketch to follow by the very talented Michele and the theme is a card for a child. It is my best friend's little boy's birthday soon so this card should fit the bill. I also decorated the inner.

Crafty Recipe: Magnolia stamped image, watercoloured with Distres Inks and WC pencils. DP,s Basic Grey, 7 Gypsies. Sizzix "too cool", brads and sentiment stamp from stash

3D Poppy

I love this poppy and although it took a couple of hours to cut out and construct this card I really like the results. I used pearl card and embossed the right hand edge and added little flat backed gems to add a little sparkle. I cut the tag and MUM sentiment from vellum with my cuttlebug using sizzix dies. The butterfly is a peel off that I raised the wings of with silicone adhesive. I used silver peel off sentiment on the vellum tag and another butterfly for decoration.
