Same But Different My Besties UK DT Card

Its the Same but different time again ..This has been a real struggle for me this time ..I am not sporty at all,I would not pick this image but you know how it goes you start and it is going fine then things start going wrong,yep this is that one lol!..but I think I have managed to save it ..She has been coloured onto Neenah Solar white card with Polychromos Pencils ..The papers I have used are g.s.d designs Melody Ross Designer collection (Lydia Collection ) Stunning papers throughout These were mounted onto craft card..The dies used for the flowers are ftom CC and the Sara Davis Signature dies ,the flowers are from the Floral collection and the scrolls are from the Butterfly Lullaby Collection.. Once I had mounted the Bestie onto the craft card background I did the wiggly line thing around her and added it to the card with 3D glue gel..The flowers I shaped and added ,putting in pink pearls to bring in the pink from the Bestie and the larger flowers some pink/purple gems to pull in the raspberry colour from the backing papers..The lace I used has got tiny pearls down the center of it and just adds a special touch to it ..Thank you for popping by :)xx

Morgans Artworls Saturday Inspiration June

Hiya.. Todays inspiration card was coloured using Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..I have used Crafters Companion English Country Garden Papers from the Sara Davis collection..These I have mounted onto Centura Pearl Pink card then onto plain white card for contrast..The die for the lace border is from CC Downton Abbey collection ,the first edition ,and the pretty butterfly is also from the English Country garden range. I have kept the backing papers soft so that it enhanced the image which has took two nights to colour lol!..oh for the love of colouring! ..Well worth it though .to finish I have added a computer generated label ,some faux pearls and a tiny gem flower to the center of the butterfly to finish..Thank you for popping by :) xx

Sasayakki Glitter ..To a Special Dad

Hiya,I chose this image as it reminded me of my Dad ..When I was young both Mum and Dad were always taking pictures of us..Mostly Dad as he was camera happy lol..I think that is why I just hate having my picture taken now.I used Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card to colour this image ..Played around with a stencil for the clouds and it sort of worked ,..but I think will stick to watercolour or chalks for stencils next time ..cannot be perfect every time .I drew a wiggly line thingy around the image to frame it before mounting it onto black card..I have used First Edition Papers called Neroli throughout , A very nice pad for mens cards and some are lovely for the girls too.,so a good all rounder..I have matted them all onto black card..For this one  I decided on making a feature of the layers rather than fancy decoration..There is not a lot we can choose for men most would not appreciate flowers or bows,..Well the men I know anyway lol!.,So to finish the card I have used a selection of buttons in the colours that I have used in the image ,thus bringing them from the image into the body of the card,,Rather than one I have layered one on top of another which gives it a bit of depth too.. Thank you for popping by Take care :)xx

Digital Delights By Louby Lou

I just love making cards like this ,such a great way to use up scraps of paper out of the forever filling box and the odd sheet of paper left over from a pad from oh..who knows when lol..Yes we all have those don't we ..I used a 8x8 card blank for this one ..First I had coloured the image using Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card ,then I fussy cut it out ..I cut the background to the size I wanted and used this as a guide ,then roughly cut the two pieces of green to the same width..Once done I roughly drew in some grass and cut both out ,then layered these two pieces onto the front of the card.I then stuck the cute panda onto the grass where i wanted it to go ..I left it for a few minutes to allow for the glue to set and then cut around the grass and the Panda..leaving a small white edge.This helped to strengthen the panda and stop it from leaning forward, nothing worse than a wilting card on the shelf. I then placed the background on and the three cut out clouds ..I put stitching around those to make a feature of them and to help them stand out a little more too.The last cloud I had Printed on Birthday Wishes before cutting it out..To finish I added a sprinkle of pretty small glitter flowers on the grass and drew on the leaves ..Such a fun card to make and a quick change of subject looks great on adults cards too ,a little something different  ..Thank you for visiting :)xx

613 Avenue Create Dt project ,Create your own Challenge

Hiya,this was so much fun to do right from the lovely image from Kitty Bee Designs ,to the fun of the Stenciling ,which I have never done before ,and very difficult having my little fluffy helper putting her nose in and wanting the sponge ..Only popped it on the table ,she was off with it..Fur Babies are so funny,but make card making and projects difficult sometimes lol..
The image has been coloured with Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card and fussy cut out..I then used a pre- made tag I took from a Julie Nutting Tag-Pad..these are big tags and come in a bad of assorted colours and there are 48 in the pad ..great Ebay buy ,even though I had to wait as these came from America ,but was well worth the saving from buying over here.I used Spectrum Noir watercolour pens to do the stenciling..The stencils I created from Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations dies..a pic of them at the bottom,so you know which ones.I just used an old bit of sponge I had saved from some packing to stencil with as I did not want to get it too wet,even though the tags are thick (and double sided too).
I coloured the leaves in with the watercolour pens and used a Pitt pen to add the detail,also..I then added a solid line all around the tag with the green watercolour Pen then added faux stitching.. I added the sentiment and a line where the grass would be before gently curving the little Panda and adding him to the tag with 3D glue Gel..Thank you for popping by :)xx

My Besties UK ..Anything Goes With Flowers

Hiya..Today's card as usual is coloured with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card.I just loved this Bestie since I saw her a while ago so I got her to use for my next card..I have to admit I was going to do a really arty waves background with seashells and an octopus etc ,but unfortunately Friday and Saturday I was in Bed ..all I did was sleep as was so sick..but back and ok now.. The Background Paper and inside paper is from a paper pad by GCD studio entitiled "Melody Ross" Designers collection ,this pad being the Lydia Collection  One of my last cards used the beautiful flower paper and this is the fabulous green and blue foiled paper ..I was only going to use this ,but when I was laying the card out the leaves to the flowers got lost so I added a piece the zig zag paper,this was an off cut from the First Editions pad Nerroli,it has formed a good background for the flowers as well as a contrast to the shinyness of the backing paper ..The flowers are from Tonic Verso Range and these are the Apple Blossom flowers..they are really pretty too and are sort of wavy-ish too that is why I chose these .I backed the three larger blooms and left the smaller ones filigreed as I  felt they looked a little softer that way....Thanks for popping by xx
