Flowers for tea

Yet another card I made last year using a pre-coloured image. Both of the images used here are from Lili of the Valley. The edges of the image got distressed and frantaged. I had fun making a different card design for this one and added a ribbon so it could be tied together. The colour combination is also one I haven’t used much if I have at all. I think the peach and aqua actually worked, though. For the embellishments I used mostly Noor Design dies with a spellbinder one for the circle and a Martha Stewart puncher. All the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts as usual.

Imageless and blue

Here is a birthday card I made on order at the end of last year. I have made so many cards with images I have coloured myself lately that it was quite fun to do another imageless one. I roughed up the edges and painted them alittle as well. The papers are Lili of the Valley and Flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts.

Moonflower’s Tumbelina

The lovely Anne Lise asked me to be guest designer for Barnemix again, so of course I had to say yes! The image I was given to work with is by Moonflower and is called Tumbelina. For this project we were given the theme white on white. Something which I am generally quite terrible at, but I gave it a go!

I coloured it in with copics and figured keeping it all white would be a bit dull! That is why I gave her a glow and a pink dress, but I tried to keep both her hair and the dress reasonably light, somewhat inspired by distress ink colouring actually, and I kept the flowers white. It was fun to try to colour something in lighter shades!

I have used a lot of plain card stock for the card, but a small border with a Lili of the Valley background paper. I used some lace from Kaboks, Martha Stewart punchers and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts as well as Live and Love Crafts.

Spring swing

Time for a new Mi Ran anything goes challenge in the facebook group. This month we have the optional theme of: Things with Wings! I chose the gorgeous Haylee for this and coloured her in with copics. As we’ve had a crap summer and autumn is around the corner, I deliberately chose a spring theme!

The papers I have used are by Lili of the Valley and the flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts and Live and Love Crafts. I used a couple of Martha Stewart punchers to make the butterflies. As the theme is things with wings I used it as an excellent excuse to add then! The border is also made using a Martha Stewart puncher and the leaves with a Noor Designs die.

Vannessa

It is our wonderful Mi Ran facebook DT co-ordinater Vannessa’s birthday today. It is her 40th!! That certainly warrants a celebration, and a celebration it is! On our facebook group we have a freebie this week to celebrate as well as a competition.

This is the card I made using the freebie. The balloons are blank, so I added a 40 to it! I’ve used Noor Design dies and a bunch of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. I also used Wild Orchid Crafts flowers to make the bouquet she is holding as I thought it looked pretty cool! There are coloured flowers underneat.
