Special Christening card.

Wow! were as this week gone, can't beleive it's nearly weekend again. I've been busy all week working on a Special Christening card for my best friends Granddaughter.She's 28th months old and getting christened next sunday. I wanted to make a card that wasn't too babyish.  I love this little Stamp she is called Mimosa and is by a swedish company. I have made the church window by using a free download from my craft studio. It was Blue so changed the colour . I also had to alter the picture as it had a big spray of lilies on half of the window. I pasted and copied and also flipped the design, I printed it onto vellum then cut the flowers off the pieces and joined them together and covered up the join with my stamping. Added roses and the little metal wired bits and stickles to the flowers and added fabric butterflies and the guipure lace.Also added the little metal cross. I coloured the deisn with promarkers and also the ribbon to match. The punching was a Martha Stewart punch. It's the first card I've made with so much decoration, but I wan't it to be really special.

Happy 4th of July

Good morning and a Happy 4th of July. A very dull and breezy day here. I have been using my Pro markers again and some Versa magic chalk ink.. I love this image I think he's so cute. I used a tiny paw print stamp and the paper was free from a magazine ages ago.

I hope your all having a great crafting weekend. Posting this now as my lovely Grandaughter is coming around to play this afternoon. I think I'll get a few stamps out for her to play with. She loves coming in my craft room and stamping, then  scribbling all over them with her crayons. We end up so messy What a joy!! I love it.

Ribbon and Clematis

Here's the card I've just finished, its using a Joanna Sheen cd. I've also done some ribbon ruffling on it. I saw this on one of the cards Sue at Particraft had made. I hadn't tried this before but I'm quite pleased with how it's turned out.. I love clematis , I just hope the lady who ordered the card will like it.

Hi I have to say I have been doing a lot of blog hopping , but managed to make two cards earlier on in the week. They were both quick cards for friends. On one I did abit of stamping to match the flowers on the main image. The other was off a Cd. Tonight I have made a special card for my next but one neighbour who will be 86 next week. I have to say a Thank you to Becca on Amazing Paper Grace for sharing her Right Angle punching techneque. She is truely amazing if you have not seen her cards, please pop over to see , you'll not be dissapointed. For my card I used Joanna Sheen cd and a lacy image, then did some punching to layer on top. Added ribbon and pearls.

Hi hope everyone as had a good week. I have a couple of stamped quick cards to show you today.For someone who said they weren't going down the promarker way. I can't leave them alone. It's my best friends fault, she let me use some of hers the other week and then I was hooked. They are both fathers day cards using teddy bear stamps.

Oh what a busy bee I've been this week, I've actually managed to finish three cards so far. The first two I made for my neighbour, who's cards I make all the time. The first one I used glimmer spray on the background. I then stamped the main image with three different embosssing powders. The moon I just used the clear plastic ,that comes on the top of cd's. and painted bleach through the central hole. The branches were also bleached. The second I coloured the background with distress inks. Overstamped with a script then run it through the cuttlebug. The ribbon border was made in my cuttlebug and also the swirl. The main image was stamped onto a distressed piece of card. It was sten painted shimmer paints. The next page is a spellbinders pendant cut on the cuttlebug.

The last card is just a quick card I made for in my box. I stamped Daisy which I borrowed from my friend. We had a night together last week just stamping lots of images. I coloured with Pro markers which were also borrowed . I'd never used them before, but I think they are great. I then coloured around with distress inks.
