Morning everyone. How bad is the weather today? Well, it's bad here anyway. This is a quick post as I am off to pick up a couple of things for my new project. Went to the stamp fair yesterday and got some bits and pieces but I'll tell you all that later.

This is another very quick card. I bought these KanBan sheets a while back as I loved the images and this one has been lying about doing nothing. Well, i have finally managed to make up a card with it. I also wanted to use the wee tag that came with it so, I made up a pair of earrings and added them through the hole of the tag along with a bit pink ribbon.

Hope you like it. Thanks for taking the time to stop by

Hugs

Sketch #28 - Sketch Saturday

Todays card is my entry to Sketch Saturday Challenge #28. A gorgeous sketch from Mariska. I started with square base card and covered one half with 'Baby Powder - Hiccups' and the other half with 'Baby Powder - Tiny Tantrum' both by Imaginisce. I used some white ric-rac to cover the join. The image is Forever Friends coloured with inktense pencils and cut with oval nesties in the bug. This is mounted onto pink card and stuck to base card with foam pads. The flowers are from WH Smith, as are the brads. The sentiment is from a K&Co kit my mum got from QVC as a gift for me about 3 years ago, I think. This is fixed to card with eyelets from my stash. Really enjoyed making this card. I will probably use this sketch lots in the future.

Sarah Kay Birthday Card

This card is for my daughters friends birthday. It was a last minute card. She came home from school at 4.15pm and asked for a card and present for the friend and said she needed it for 5.30pm. Don't you just love teenagers?!!! The image was one that I got from ebay a while back. I had coloured it for a previous card and it didn't go with the papers I wanted to use. So, as I cannot throw anything out, it has been sitting around waiting for me to use it. The papers are DCWV Pocket full of Posies Stack and some pearl card. Image is mounted onto pearl card and then foam pads. The ribbon is from a qvc christmas kit I bought recently. The greeting is from Craftwork Cards. The sketch is an old one from Sketch Saturday (I think).

Friday Sketchers Challenge 23

This is my entry for Friday Sketchers Challenge 23. I loved the sketch and will use it again and again. I have used a double sided paper from Imaginisce. Its called Baby Powder - Oopsie Daisy. I have covered the square base card with one side of the paper and cut 2 half circle shapes from the other side. The Sarah Kay image is coloured with Sakura Glaze pens and inktense pencils. I have used an Anita's sticky ribbon along the bottom. The oval is cut from Nesties with Cuttlebug and I have stamped Happy Day on it with a mini greeting from Inkadinkado clear stamp set - Lots o' Pots. This is the first Sarah Kay image I have done and I am quite pleased with the way the card has turned out.

PINKS AND GREENS

This is a card I have made for my friends daughters 1st birthday and also as my entry to Challenge #20 on A Spoonful of Sugar. The challenge this week is 'Pink and Green'. This is the first girly card I have made, usually it is blues and greens, and I am quite pleased with the way it has turned out, apart from when I got carried away with the glitter! Still not sure if I am going to add a number 1 to it yet. We'll see.



I covered a square base card with DCWV Nanas Kids paper and then I added some pink stickles to the centre of each flower on the paper. Next, I stamped the forever friends image and coloured with my usual inktense pencils. I layered this onto pink then green card and added to side of base card with foam pads. The flower and banner are from a K&Co sticker pack. The flower has been outlined in pink and green stickles and I have printed 'Happy Birthday' message on banner. The corners of the image are stickers also and the dots on them have been stickled too. I have added a pink ribbon with bow to finish.
