Skating Wryn - Have been looking forward to using this image

Hi Everyone,

Back again with another post, certainly a successful day crafting that's for sure. I enjoy it and i find it a great way to relax, well at least when i am not over analysing my work and stressing myself out LOL.

I purchased this image a while ago, i think i got a little carried away with my Hannah Lynn images and have neglected others that i have and today was about trying to use some of these images.

Isn't she super cute, i love how the image pops out when you highlight around it with light grey, its only a small thing but i find it really does make all the difference.

For this card is used:

Skater Wryn image & Sentiment
Designer Papers are by Kaiser Craft
Gems and Flowers by Kaiser Craft
Bazzill card stock
Spellbinders Circle and Scalloped Circle Dies
Martha Stewart Border Punch
Stickles
Gelly Roll and Aqualip pens by Sekura
Copics: 0, BG05, BV13, C1, E11, E15, E17, E50

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Sexy Easter Card

Hi Everyone,

Me again, seem to be in the right creative frame of mind lately.

One of the challenges i wanted to make a card for was to use the following sketch (well it was a choice of 2 and my St Patrick's day card was that one).

I also decided to make this an Easter themed card to match another challenge and i have recently purchased the perfect cheeky image and i have been dying to use her.

Here's my card

Lilac and Lace Wedding card

Hi everyone,

There was another couple of challenges i wanted to take part in and they required me to use lace. Well lace is not something i normally use but when i thought about what time of card to make Wedding came to mind.

This being the case i purchased a gorgeous image from Sassy Studio Designs (one of four oops) and she is just gorgeous and would work perfectly. One of the challenges required you to use the colour Lavender and this soft purple just works so well i think. Plus i knew i had some perfect papers from Pink Petticoat and the rest kind of came together.

Because the image itself was so gorgeous i didn't want to do a lot too it. I coloured the flowers on her dress and bouquet with V17 and then i put some clear star Gelly roll on the flowers and the mid section of her dress and then added some tiny gems to the flowers on her dress and in her hair to give it a bit more WOW factor.

I hope you like what i created.

Spring fresh Mothers Day Card

Hi Everyone,

Well this card i made to enter in a couple of challenges. It is not Mothers Day in Australia as yet but it never hurts to get started early.

I wanted this to have a spring feel so went with a colour scheme of yellow and green with white pearlescent card and it does have a nice fresh feel i think. I wanted the image to have flowers and to be suitable for Mothers Day and i came across some printed LOTV images i got free in a card making magazine a while back. I coloured this in with Copics and Gelly rolls. This was not suitable blending paper/or card so i just used single colours and highlighted certain areas with my clear star Gelly roll to give it a little sparkle where the light hits.

I used a sketch by Charisma cardz which is there challenge this week and i just slanted my yellow rectangular section slightly to give it a little bit of difference, it just looked a bit blocky to me and we all know i like to be different :)

I adhered it all together and here is my finished card...

For this card i used...

White Pearlescent card stock

Yellow and Green Patterned papers by Frencheville

LOTV Image (this came free in a magazine)

Pink & Brown Tri-Fold Card

Hi everyone,

I am going through a phase of trying out different folds and shapes of cards at the moment and really enjoying it. I recently purchased a Martha Stewart scoreboard so this may have prompted my experimenting :)

This time i have tried out a Tri-fold card and i really like the way it turned out. I made mine slightly smaller than most out there (each panel is 12cm x 12cm) mainly because i do not have a paper cutter than can handle A3 cardstock so that is my next purchase on the agenda. I do a lot of my cutting with a metal ruler and craft knife but i am not the best at straight lines :)

I went with a pink and brown theme as i wanted to use up some of the items i already had in my stash, and the Hannah Lynn image was one i printed and cut out a while back but never got around to using.

For this card i used...
Hannah Lynn digital Image
Butterfly and Sentiment stamps by Flourishes
Sentiment on middle panel i generated using the computer and printed out
Pink, Clear and Mini clear gems from Stash
Ribbon from stash
Martha Stewart Border and Corner punches
Digital papers all by Pink Petticoat
White and Black card stock from stash
Copics E000, E00, E33, E35, E37, R81, G05

Nothing says i love you like a heart filled with bling!

Hi everyone,

For this card i wanted to combine a number of challenges but also step outside of my comfort zone a little more. I have to say it turned out better than i hoped as i was beginning to think i have may have over done it somewhat. One of the challenges is your favourite colour combo and i really really love white and blue, its just so fresh. I know its not your typical valentines colours but then i do like to be different.

Let me know what you think...

For this card i used..

Boys wintery card

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone has had a good week end and that the weather hasn't been to bad where ever you are in the world.

This card i made to combine a few challenges and i have to say i moved and rearranged the layout so many times it made me dizzy before i settled on the finished layout. But that's why i like taking part in these challenges, the chance of winning something is always good, but its the fact that it stretches your own creativity and ideas. You try things you wouldn't normally and although i sometimes stress because it may not necessarily have a lot of ideas on some themes in the end i am always quite pleased at the result and getting outside my comfort zone.

For this card i used the following;

CC Designs Digi Winter Trevor

NitWits Petal Fresh for the patterned papers

Card Blank, Blue backing paper and silver card from stash

Martha Stewart Corner Punch

Snowflake Punch..Xcut?

Gems Kaiser Craft - My Fave Embellishment

My other chosen card

Me again.

This is the other card i have chosen to submit to my challenges. I just love the combination of red and black and i have had this digi in my collection for a little bit as i fell in love with it the minute i saw it but just haven't gotten around to using it.

I wanted to keep this one fairly simple too as she is such a gorgeous image i wanted her to be the focal point. I took a black pearlescent card blank for my base. I then cut a strip of red pearlscent paper and used a Martha Stewart bored punch. I cut another strip from the same black card stock and embossed it to give it a little additional details. I mounted the black onto the red and then mounted these straight to the card base. I coloured my image with my trusty Copics but wanted this to have a little more blink/shimmer so i added some clear star gelly roll to the rose in her hair to give it a little sparkle, i used black aqualip on her shoes so they look like they are patent. I coloured the lamp post using black metallic gelly roll and the light bulb using yellow glaze. I then coloured around the image in really light grey to make it pop out at you a little more. I then mounted the image on black card stock leaving a thin border and then mounted this on red paper leaving another narrow border and then finally again onto black card stock with another narrow border and then adhered it to the card at a slight angle. I then added clear and red gems to complete the card.

I used...
