Country flowers

Here is another card I made on order recently. The image and colours were picked by the person who made the request. It is a Mother’s Day card.

The doily is by Papermania, the distress ink by Tim Holtz. I have used a pre-coloured image and a stamp sentiment by Lili of the Valley. All the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts; the ribbon and bow are also from there, as are the pearls. I don’t remember where I purchased the large gem butterfly, but I believe it was at a local shop.

The cottage

Today’s card is a fun one. At least I think it’s fun. I decided to move out of my comfort zone and make something completely different to what I usually make.

This is a step card, the blank from that is from Craftwork cards, probably anyway. I should remember these things, but I don’t. The papers however, are Papermania (purple) and Pion (green). I have used ribbon from Wild Orchid Crafts and the lace I don’t remember where I bought. I have used punches from Martha Stewart (butterflies) and Panduro (flowers). I don’t remember where the buttons are from either, but the pre-coloured image and sentiment stamp is by Lili of the Valley.

Mid-spring

Last day of April. We’ve had some absolutely lovely days lately, but yesterday the harsh reminder that we live in Norway and not by the Mediterranian hit hard. It was freezing! Hopefully May will bring more summer!

Today I have a card made with a Craftwork Cards card blank, card from First Edition Paper. A Papermania doily, a pre-coloured image by Lili of the Valley. I’ve had the rhinestones for so long I don’t remember where I got them from, but the ribbon is from a local shop and all the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Springtime

What a beautiful day in April it is. In fact, the past few days have been great. Warm, sunny with just a slight breeze. I can’t really believe summer is almost here, but I certainly don’t mind! Let’s celebrate with a bright and colour spring card! (Unfortunately, I’ve not taken a photo of the wreath I mentioned in the previous post, so I’ll try to remember to take a photo of it later this year)

The butterfly, ribbon and lace is from a local shop, the lovely image is a pre-coloured topper from Lili of the Valley and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Baby girl

New month, new challenge! Time does fly, doesn’t it? February already. I know I said I’d post some photos from my trip to Senegal, but I haven’t even had time to look through them properly yet. Hopefully in a couple of weeks I’ll be back on top of everything… Anyway, challenge!

The Hobby House Challenge this month is Anything goes!

I have made this card with paper from Papermania, dies from spellbinder and punches from Panduro and Martha Stewart. I have used the following Hobby House products: pre-coloured topper, roses, ribbon and pearls.
