Super mum! image 'Ruth' By polkadoodles

Hello there! today I have a card for you with lots of bright colourful layers and a fantastic Polkadoodles image- Ruth

I coloured this card using a mixture of copics and promarkers- the day has come for me to start slowly saying goodbye to my promarkers and build up my collection of copics!

Copic colours used - E000,E00,E21,E11,R20,BG02,BG05,BG07 and BG09

promarker colours used- gold, mustard, burgundy, crimson, cardinal, walnut, henna, coral, cocoa, cinnamon black, cool grey 5,4,3,2,1

star and superhero papers are by DCVW and all other papers were found in my stash, where they have been for a while, as were the little gold diamantes, ribbon, and star gems

I layered up and used 3d foam pads and silicone glue to add dimension, and hand tied the bow in the same ribbon as the ribbon strip

the card sketch design is my own

hope you love it, and Thanks Nikki for the image!

Left of Center Challenges Mid way inspiration piece for Delicious Doodles challenge #30 Spring Fling

Hello! this challenge at Left Of Center Challenge Blog is sponsored by delicious doodles!
this is your mid way reminder so at this point if you want to join in you still have a week to do so :)

My inspiration for this challenge is a fabby (if i may say so myself) Tri Easel card
using Fairy Fae, Rosie, and Lilleth

To create this card I used a 12x12 cardstock piece cut down to form the card base , and a 12x12 sheet of green coredinations to form the first mat. The papers are DoveCraft and I used a thin strip of the paper used on one of the others to provide cohesiveness . these i distressed gently along with the backing paper.
I used floral swirls from birds cards at the corners cut on my scan n cut in the same green as the first matt
on fairy fae i cut some tiny butterflies from memory box for two of the corners, on rosie i used some of samaflora's tiny roses , and on Lilleth some of Samaflora's little lilies.
on the base I used some papermania oyster blush papers and a strip of lace, with half pearls for the stoppers.
all the images were coloured using promarkers


hope you like it!

Anniversary card

Hello all, it is mine and my husband's fourth wedding anniversary today, and so I made him this card :-

I went for monochrome with a splash of pinky red!

I made this card using - 

couture creation's tied together embossing folder

spellbinders vines of passion (s2 022) dies

a micron fineliner marker pen

black and pink ribbon

small diamantes

black cardstock and white cardstock

I cut the couture creations embossed card down to half the height of the card blank and took some off the edges to make room for a matt, and cut a piece of white cardstock for the bottom, which i drew on using my micron marker pen, glued together and added two layers of ribbon

i then added the assembled hearts and glued diamantes on where the diamonds 'joined' and matted onto black

I hope you like!

New Challenge up at Just For Fun ! Ribbons/ Lace

Hello! it's time for a new challenge over at Just for fun! the theme this month is Ribbons / Lace

and I have created a gorgeous slightly vintage inspired mannequin card for you as inspiration

To make this card I have used - a 6 x 6 inch card blank in white from AMD

, papermania sew lovely papers 

peach coredinations cardstock

kraft chequered card

spellbinders floral ovals dies

gorjuss ribbon

see through white ribbon

white small ribbon bow

a strip of off white lace

mannequin cut from in built designs on the scan 'n'cut

small half pearls in pink

small flower gems 

'sew special' sentiment stamp

inkpad SU not quite navy

I cut a matt of peach coredinations slightly smaller than the card base, and then a strip of both the papers - making the top a little larger so I could overlap them, it made it easier to join!

i then added the two layers of ribbon and adhered them to the back, before attaching it to the card blank, I then stamped the sentiment in the bottom right corner. 

I then cut the large floral oval out of peach and the next size down in the burlap style paper. after poking out all the bits, I popped 3d foam pads on the back and added them to the card, layering the second off centre.

I got the glue gun out and used t to adhere the lace to the mannequin, putting in little pleats, then finishing the skirt off with a ribbon bow

i used 3d foam pads to join that to the smaller floral oval, and then I added all the little pearls and gems as finishing touches 

Hope you like it and that it has given you some inspiration to join this months challenge over at JFF!
