Vintage Love

Good Evening,

Freezing here again and have another card to show you. This is another of the "flat" charity valentine cards that I have had to make. For this card I used a Penny Black stamp that I had actually forgotten I had.

I used some papers that I have had so long I cant remember where they are from. Stamp coloured with shimmer chalks, embossed panel coloured with Tim Holtz distress inks. Flower made with a paper flower coloured with distress ink and sentiment stamped, cut out and triple heat embossed.

I have entered this card in the following challenges:

The Sweet Stop - sketch
Sugar Creek Hollow - vintage valentine
Crazy 4 Challenges - C4C72 vintage or shabby chic
Craft your days away - love

Here is a close up of the image.

That's all for now folks, hope to have another creation for you soon!

Puppy Love

Hello there,

I hope you are all well. It has gone really cold here again, so I spent the day hibernating in my craft room.

I am still going through my phase of making valentine day cards for charity and so I cheated a little with the image today which is a Cuddly Buddly coloured image. I do love CB images but I usually use the black and white ones and colour my own, I hope you forgive me just this once lol!!



Papers are from Claire Curd signature range, sentiments from PC, ribbon and pins from stash.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Mojo Monday - sketch
Lexi's Creations - valentines
Karber weekly challenge - spots and stripes (on the backing paper)
Sew Many Challenges - green

Hope you like it and as always thanks for stopping by.

Ellies In Love

Woo hoo I made a card with one of new digi images from Phindy's Place, this one is called "Remeber I Love You".

I have been asked to make some valentine cards for charity and this is the first one. I have had to try and keep them quite simple and also fairly flat as they have to go in envelopes and not boxes.



I coloured the image with pro markers, trying to shade lol. Papers are Claire Curd, doilie, flowers and crystals from stash.

I have entered this card in the following challenges:

Sketch Saturday Challenge - sketch
Fuzzy Wuzzy Challenges - anything goes, must use animal as main focus

Totally Papercrafts - add a heart

Here is a close up of the image, so you can see my shading LOL.

Sarah Hurley DT Card

Here is my first DT card of the year for the Sarah Hurley challenge card and the theme is New Beginnings.

I used Sarah's new Wonderland CD to make a New Year card. I used stripey and top hat paper from the Mad Hatter folder and also a top hat topper where I cut the top hat out.

The card is dark green edged in gold but unfortunately you can't see the colour very well. I used 3d gloss on the hat and odd hats from the backing paper, although again it doesn't show up very well.



I have also entered this card into the following challenges:

Fairymoom challenge - sketch
Ooh La La Creations - a toast to 2011



Thanks for looking and please pop on over to the Sarah Hurley challenge blog and join in the challenge.

Have a happy 2011!!
