Red, black and gold

It's a lovely sunny day today and I have been making the most of my garden and enjoyed a lovely walk with Olivia my lovely dog.
The theme for this weeks challenge over on Rainbow Lady's Challenge Blog is red, back and gold with a touch of Oriental. I chose to use this gorgeous image from Mo's Digital Pencil, coloured with promarkers. The Oriental writing rubber stamp is from Crafters Companion, stamped with stazon and embossed with clear powder. The card was completed with some embellishments from my stash.
Thankyou for looking.

A butterfly for a special person

The theme for this week over on Crafty Ann's Challenge blog is to make a card for someone special. I have made this card for my Auntie who will be 87 on the 16th April.
I stamped the fancy butterfly by creative expressions onto lilac card and embossed in gold. I sprayed the background with crafters companion spray and sparkle gold, but this doesn't show up very well in the photo. I then glittered the wing with cornflower blue glitter. I stamped the butterfly again on vellum and cut out the wings. I glittered with grape glitter on the wings and seashell glitter on the middle and antenna, I then stuck it on top of the original butterfly. The bp is from the arylicious damask delights cd rom. I added some flowers, brads and gems, some ribbon and a sentiment.
Thanks for looking.

Birthday gift thankyou card

Well, I have had such a busy birthday week,meeting family and friends, I have not had much time for crafting. Having recieved some lovely gifts, I have made my first of the many thankyou cards I need to make..
I used the popcorn the bear rubber stamp by crafters companion and coloured with promarkers. It's a really large stamp as can be seen from this six inch square card. I used distress ink for the first time around the edge of the stamped image. The bp is joanna sheen warm marble. The flower started off blue, but I coloured with pro marker to complement the other colours on the card and added some distressed stickles.
Thankyou for looking.

Crafty Ann's Challenge 9

I have made this card for Crafty Ann's Challenge. The challenge is to use a fold or technique which takes you out of your comfort zone. I chose to use scrap magic. Although I have had the template for a long time I have only actually used it twice before. I do like the finished cards, but I am out of my comfort zone. I actually enjoyed doing this one though and feel that I should definately use it more often.
The stamp I used was from crafters companion embossed with gold and painted with twinkling H20's. The backing papers are from the crafters companion oriental cd rom. The oriental coin embellishment is from my stash.
