My Besties UK ,Anything goes Add buttons or brads

I think this little image is a really sweet one ..I have coloured her using Polychromos onto Neenah card.. Before adding to the backing craft card I drew some faux stitching around the topper to add a bit of detail to the edge.I used papers from First Edition Up Up and Away...Love this pad so sorry its coming to an end ..I have mounted them all onto craft card as you can see..The deeper blue piece in the middle I added some cotton lace for texture and the same faux stitching as the topper to tie it all together.. I popped the topper slightly off center and added using 3D glue Gell ,then added the pink heart button as shown to one side and four pretty pink roses in a line down the other side to create a type of edge to the topper , and also not to cover all the beautiful lace up..Thank you for popping by, hope you have a lovely day :)xx

Saturday Inspiration ..Morgans Artworld

Todays Beautiful card for My inspiration at Morgan's Artworl is coloured in Prisma and Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..It was then mounted onto craft card..The papers are from Tonic and these also have been mounted onto craft card too.. I have used a Scalloped 8x8 card base ,and some gorgeous ruby red ribbon and a cream rose to finish..I have used a lot of colours throughout the iage as using pencils I feel allows you to do this ..It was a really fun image to colour,,so I decided to keep the hair different also.. It is such a sham the real card is much brighter and although I use white light to take the pictures by ,some of the colour is actually bleached out..I think the middle picture is the best example of the true colours..Thank you for visiting ..Have a lovely day :)xx

Venetian Butterfly

Hiya ,todays card is for my friend's mother..I was wondering just what to do ,you know that feeling when you have done cards for someone for someone for years and you just want to do something that you have not done for the same person on her list lol..It is usually set things for people in the family,but with the ladies I have a bit more choice..This is a Julia Spiri digi, I had seen it on FB and thought how pretty it was so this is my choice..The stamp is on Neenah card and coloured with Polychromos Pencils.. The papers are from a DCWV Floral Stack and these have been mounted onto craft card..The beautiful lace flowers , ribbon and roses are from Sweet Lilac and was a prize I won on a challenge before Christmas ..just beautiful and I thought these went beautifully with the theme,and i just added a couple of pretty hearts to add a little bling to finish.. Thank you for taking the time to pop by :)xx

Love You Beary Much ..613 Avenue Create DT Card

This is such a fun card and brought back memories of going through Mum's Button Tin ..Bless her xx..I have coloured this onto Neenah card using Polychromos {Pencils..Firs though I used my Do crafts Digital Designer to pop the background behind the bear..All the papers and the background for the bear is from the beautiful Wellington Bear Male Collection..Really is a fab cd and I do like to use what I have ,where I can as its such a wast..It is on here that I learn the basic designing of my cards many years ago and its the first time I actually incorporated it behind the stamp ..It works Brilliant so pleased with the outcome...All of the backgrounds were mounted onto craft card and I added then onto the 8x8 card..The Topper I fussy cut by hand to get the effect and as the card is for my chap of course no flowers ,so went down the line of buttons which actually go so well with this lovely stamp, Sometimes its just nice to have some fun and let your hair down and this was definately one of those cards lol..I shall be adding his name to the your right of the bear with die cut letters but will do that after as I always do usually..Thank you for popping by :)xx

Daughters Birthday card

Todays card is the card I did for my Daughter's Birthday which was on Sunday.. I have coloured the beautiful image in using Polychromos and Prisma Color Pencils ..love how they work so well together..Done on Neenah card. The Backgrounds are odds n ends out of my scrapbox and last pages folders,so not sure which they were sorry..All these were mounted onto Black card.. The flowers are from Sara Davis;s Signature collection from Crafter;s Companion..These were cut in white card and coloured using SN pens to co- ordinate with the colours in the papers..Once dries I used a ball tool to shape them and popped then in place once the topper had been put into position with 3D glue gel..gives just a little more definition to them..To finish I added some smokey quartz effect gems to the centers of the flowers and then added a few jet black gems to the main card.. A bit different to my normal cards,but this is so my Daughter,at the moment she has the most beautiful coloured hair its blues,purples and pinks ..being dark headed and olive skinned it really suits her too ..She loved the card ..Thank for popping by :)xx

Same but Different week ..My Besties Uk DT Card

Its that time for my same but different card..I have coloured this lovely fairy onto Neenah card using both my Polychromos and my Prismacolor Pencils,they work beautifully together as you can see and was my first go was pleased with the result tooI..I hand drew around the oval die to put it into position where I wanted it on the figure and hand cut the figure layer..Then cut the background out with it's next die from The Tattered Lace Basic Ovals..All my papers are mounted onto craft card as it always goes well with Fae and nature ..I have done something slightly different this time in not adding flowers ..I have used my First Edition Up Up and Away papers throughout, the base paper having encapsulated glitter on it for added sparkle..All these I have matted as you can see..The two upper papers are matt.The green one I added a feature wiggly line ,sorry to baffle you with science lol!..The other I used the blue to bring the sky into the card..I have used the tags inside these are really pretty as these also have the encapsulated glitter on them too..To finish I added a couple of silver bird charms and some flower embellishments in the same tones as the flowers..I have kept the card a little plainer this time as the image is extremely intricate and decorative and any more flower enhancement would have only cluttered the card and left it rather overpowered..Thank You for visiting :)xx
