For my special bud

Well can you see it down on the left hand side the daisy that caused me so much stress, admittedly it is the one that I had to finish by hand cutting the felt but it looks so beautiful. I created this card for the boomerang stampers list COTM theme "spring" and used Sweet Sunday Sketch 131 for the
layout.
The girl and verse is from stamping bella, I have coloured her with copics. The designer paper is sugar & spice 6x6 stack from dovecraft. I have also used a Martha Stewart border punch and spellbinders nestabilities. And used some sponging with distress ink antique linen around the edges.

Graduation Dreams

I created this card using Paper Pretties stamp set. It has a some really nice verses that you could use for any occasion. I stamped the boy and coloured him with copics, cut him out fee hand and sponged the edges for a softer effect. The panel to the left was punched with the ticket punch both were then layered onto black card. The medalion was created with a 5cm x 5cm square with punched corners the corners were then flipped out to show the edges, it was then topped with the the punched circle again I softened the edges with ink. The designer paper was a bit left over in my scrap pile, brads were then added to complete the card.

Is it Friday yet?

Have you ever had a week when all you can think of is it friday yet? I know I have and that was certainly last week. I wished I could have just stayed in my PJs all day. I stamped my paper pretties image, coloured it with copics and paper pierced the dressing gown. Cut it out using nestabilities label and sponged the edges for the layered effect. The circle love heart die is also from spellbinders and the scallop border die is from MFT. The stamps used for the background are from Hero Arts.

Just living

I created this card so time ago but I have only just taken the photo, the challenge on CCEE was to used wood,CCEE1041. The sketch was from splitcoast stampers SSSC71. I used the sizzix embossing folder designed by Tim Holtz called Woodgrain and used a sponge block to add colour. The flower and dragonfly was stamped with adirondack ink and the words over stamped with black ink, it was then cut out with nestabilities circle, I then sponged the edges andused a destresser tool on the edges. I am not totally sure this technique is for me. A large brad was used for the centre of the fabric flowers.
Supplies:

Stamps:Lucy's stamps flower set 1942LQ

Paper: close to cocoa, pumpkin, cream

Other: nestabilities, tim holtz destresser tool, sizzix embossing folder, sponging block, adrondack inks - Latte, peach bellini, mountain rose, butterscotch, terracotta, black, ribbon, brad, flowers

Born to shop

Welcome,
I have had a busy week but I managed to make this card, which is a bonus for me to get into the craft room.
Today's card is made using Sweet Sunday Sketch SSSC81. I actually made this card on a sunday, yeahh.
I started with stamping the heart in the light coloured ink and over stamped it with the coffee bean, then black for the verse.
I very rarely do the inside of the card as I like to put a printed sentiment inside, but this verse came free with the current Creativity Magazine.

Supplies:

Stamps: Grace Taylor; docrafts bubbles - born to shop

Paper: Chocolate chip, very vanilla,old olive, DP - afternoon tea

Other: flowers, brads,ribbon,brillance pearlescent orange and coffee bean, Memento black

As pretty as a Rose

I picked up this stamp from a craft show, you can see other Morehead stamps here, isn't she really cute. I think I will keep my eyes open for others in this range of stamps they are so nice. For those in Australia you can order them from the stamp shak.
The sketch I have used is from Sweet Sunday sketch challenge SSSC75, which was posted a few weeks ago on the sweetest thing. I dug out my favourite stampin up designer paper Bella Rose.
Stamps: Morehead Inc - you & me 0301
Paper: Pink, Red, Cream card, DP - Bella Rose
