Pressies for you

Here is a card I made at the start of the year. Yes… I am that far behind in posting cards up. However, I shall try to schedule up some posts this week to try to get up to date!

I have used frantage, copics and distress ink for the effects on the image and the rest of the card. The borders are made using a Noor Design die, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the stamp is Wild Rose Studio. I wanted mostly blue and browns for the card, but as the recipient is a woman, I couldn’t help by add a dash of pink!

Bookaholic

Just back from a few days over in England. Spent a couple of days in lovely Liverpool! I popped by Range in Blackburn as well and got me a couple of paper pads… as if I needed any more! Heh. I’ve already used one of them on this card, as well as my most recent Lili of the Valley purchase!

It is time for yet another challenge over at Mi Ran’s Facebook group! The theme is, as usual, anything goes! I decided to use Bookaholic Kaite for this and coloured it in with Copics. The butterflies and leaves are from Noor Design dies and a Martha Stewart puncher. All the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The small circles are card candi by Craftwork Cards.

Bubble Brea

It is time for a new Progressive Challenge over at Mi Ran’s Facebook group! The image for the challenge this month is Bubble Brea, and you have to join in for the challenge to get a hold of her! It’s fun really and if you play along this month you get next month’s digital image given to you to play along for that as well! How neat is that?! And I can tell you, the image for next month is equally fantastic! They all are! So why not give it a try?

Did you know Mi Ran is having a DT call? It is a great team to be on, and I urge everybody to apply! It closes on Monday 8th. Best of luck to everybody!

I must admit I took a full week to even dare considering colouring this one. It looked so very difficult! All that hair and the bubbles and the dress, oh my! However, being on the DT means you cannot really opt out, hehehe. So I finally dared to give it a go, and I am quite pleased with how she turned out. I am very pleased with the outfit and even the bubbles, actually! It’s really not as hard as it looked!

I have used papers from First Edition Paper along with some yellow spotted cardboard that came in a sweets package, heh. The colour combination I used is a bit unusual for me, but it was fun and I love how it turned out! The image is coloured with copics, you can find the colours I used at the bottom of the post. I made butterflies and leaves using Noor Designs dies, the flowers and ribbon are all by Wild Orchid Crafts and the sentiment is by Lili of the Valley.
