Love


Morning blog readers. Hope you all had a good weekend. I have been busy shopping around for new bathroom fixtures and fittings. Wow what a minefield that is. Any way on to todays card for the challenge at Just Magnolia
I loved doing this card. Used my new paper roses and some lovely ribbon that I have had a long time but never used. Image coloured with Distress Inks and cut out with Nestabilities die. Mat corners are a punch from X cut. Sentiment is an old SU one and I used The scallop punch to mat this on. Scallop edge is SU also as is the DP.
Love to read your comments and thanks for visiting.

Movin On


Good Evening people, this card is for the Sir Stampalot challenge and blog hop at Floral Fantasies Super prizes to be won and you have to be in it to win it. I have used my Cricut to cut out the little houses with BG paper and the background paper is from Studio called Spiral Bound. All the letters were cut with QK alphabet on my hand held tool. The moving aspect is the key hanging on the chain. This was the best I could come up with. It was fun to do. You still have time to enter this fun challenge.
Thanks to all who visit and leave me comments. I really do appreciate you taking the time to do this.

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.
