Hummingbirds


Good Morning all. Hope you had a good weekend. I did this card last week but only managed to get a decent photo this morning. I have done this parchment design before but I have changed the colouring and the little fancy cutting corners on this one. Parchment was coloured with Pergamano pencils and then embossed. Then I used a cutting tool to cut out all the plain sections. Edged with a pattern and then cut out with scissors.Whew that's hard on the hands. Plain green parchment behind also edged the same way. Card base is Bazzill cardstock, can't remeber the colour and DP is K & Co. Pearls are from the pretties kit from SU and the little pink and green brads are from Hot off the Press.
As always I am delighted to receive any of your comments. I do appreciate you taking the time to do this. Thank you

Penny Black Saturday Challenge


This is my card for the Penny Black Saturday challenge . My stamp came this morning and I stamped and coloured it this afternoon with Whispers markers. I used them with a watercolour brush. The one thing I don't like with these markers is that there is no colour code on them. My base card is Coredinations core colour Amazon. I also used Bazzill swiss dots in pink for the mat for the image. DP's used are SU Tea Party and Sweet Always. SU Tag punches and tag sentiment. Scallop edge punch used on one layer.
Love to hear from you when you visit my blog. I do appreciate all your comments.

Just Because WOJ challenge


Here is the card I have done for the Whiff of Joy challenge here I was a little stumped for the Aqua colour but did eventually find this piece of Stampin Up DP which is pretty close.
The image is Molly celebrating sheep. I have coloured with copics and then masked it and spritzed with shimmer paint. Button and butterfly charm is from my stash. Bazzill cardstock and SU DP's. Sentiment is also SU. Quite a plain card but I am pleased how it turned out.
Thanks so much for visiting and I love to hear from you.

Whiff of Joy Challenge 60


Just making this challenge over at WOJ by the skin of my teeth! I have been trying to get a decent photo as it is so dark and dismal here. The sketch was a nice one to work with.
The card base is Bazzill cardstock in Navy. DP is some K&Co and the other I am not sure of as the ticket isn't on it anymore. Coloured my image with copics. Eyelets, flower brad and gems are all Papermania. Text is a stamp from SU and punched out with the SU oval punch.
Thank you for visiting my blog. All comments are really appreciated.
