Fairy Card

I remembered that I had bought some silhouette fairy stamps from The Range which had been reduced.    Thought I'd try them out today by making a card using the lovely freebie MME papers.

The stamps are Dovecraft ones I think.  I used a MS punch for the 'Happy Birthday sentiment which I coloured with a pink promarker and then covered in stickles.  The fairy's wings also have stickles on them.  The flower is made up of 3 different colours with card candy in the middle and stickles over it all.

Get Well Card

Well last night I had some inspiration for the Get Well card that I needed to make. As it was for a male friend I didn't want anything cute or slushy!!  I decided that I could use my pocket watch stamp that I bought from the US and I had some backing paper with watches on so I changed the colour to a sepia shade and made the stamp the same sort of colour to give it a vintage feel.  I then had some paper that I got free somewhere on the net with some french text on the back of a postcard.  I then scuffed up the edges of the pocket watch and the sentiment (printed in a brown colour on cream card) and used Distress Ink - tea dye and crushed olive on them to give an old look.  I did the same with the backing paper as it was alittle to brown and fresh looking!!!!

I made up a sentiment to do with time to go with the watch theme!

I'm really pleased with the result - it's the first time I have used the Tim Holtz scuffer tool.

Tilda Birthday Card

This card has been half made since before I went to Marrakech and yesterday I decided it's about time it was finished.  I like the colours but it's one of those cards that you think is just ok!!!  On the hair it look like I have gone over the line on the fringe but there is a very faint line that you can hardly see that I have coloured within!

I used Forever Friends Backing Paper and another paper downloaded free, buttons from stash, my trusty MS Doilly punch and my new butterfly punch.  I used Anita's 3D gloss on the bottle, bag and shoes and stickles on the socks, label and bows.

Here is the result

Another Wedding Card!

Here is the second Wedding card that I finished today - I used the same image, backing paper etc but made it slightly different!

Wedding Card

After about 1 week of not making any cards and not being at all motivated to make any, I decided I needed to make some wedding cards as I have none in my box of cards to sell!!!

So far I have only made one but I am pleased with it as it's abit different to my normal type of card.

I used some grey flourish backing paper and a birdcage image which I downloaded free, some paper flowers which I made frilly with patterned scissors, my MS Doilly punch and some stick on pearl things that I have had for ages!!  I then stickled it all and used some card candy.

Here it is
