Pink Kraft Card

Right, my apologies as I said i'd post this card ages ago but have only just got around to finishing it! This wasn't made for any particular occasion but as an excuse to try out my Prismacolor pencils when I first brought them. I've used just black and white on Kraft card to create a charcoal effect - I got the idea from this blog. I probably shouldn't have used pink again but couldn't resist it for that gorgeous flower on her hat...

Meerkat Birthday Card

My gran absolutely loves meerkats so when I saw this image from Delicious Doodles I knew exactly what I wanted to do for her birthday card. I've coloured the image with my trusty old Crayola coloured pencils, as I really struggled to get the right shades. I went out of my comfort zone by using a coloured base card, which I stamped directly onto to tie in with the image.

Orange Lizard Birthday Card

It's my boyfriend's birthday today but I've already brought him a gorgeous leopard gecko as an early birthday present. He's named her Dora (as in Dora the Explorer) so i've made him this lizard themed card to represent his present. The backing paper i've handmade using lizards dicuts with my ProMarker AirBrush system and the tags have personal messages on the back.

MSE 3 B's Challenge Card

The current challenge over on MSE is to make a card with three things beginning with "B" on. This is my entry, which is a birthday card using a cute black haired tilda dressed in blue from the new fairytale range. The backing paper is from Basic Grey and is matted on to pearlescent blue card. I've used black card candy and the sheer ribbon bow has been coloured black to match.

Reindeer Gatefold Card

This card is 100% handmade including the card blank and the backing paper, which i've hand stamped (making good use of my Poundland stamps again)! The blue colour scheme makes a nice change from the usual Christmas reds and greens. I've used a Daisy & Dandelion die-cut greeting, silver card candy and snowflake brads to finish the card off.

La Pashe Flippin Card

Another birthday card for my aunt, this time for my Mum to give her. I brought the La Pashe decoupage and matching aperture card, but wasn't sure what to do with the large white space around the outside! I impressed myself with my stamping but unfortunately managed to wash a few of my letter stamps down the sink somehow...
