Darling Buds

 

Hello,

Today's card features three of the Darling Buds images from polka doodles. 

I've had these images for a while but haven't used them all that much, so I had an idea to use three of them on one.

I like using multiple images in my cards as I think it showcases them nicely.

I coloured them with spectrum noirs and Promarkers and die cut into circles.

I matched them with nitwit collections hydrangea range papers and green card.

I finished with a sentiment and pearls.

Hedgehogs in pots

 

I'm back again. I seem to have had so many cards to share this week!

This card I made a couple of weeks ago, one of my step cards. I used an hedgehog image from Di's digi downloads, coloured with spectrum noirs.

I used papers that I got free in a magazine, matted on lilac. 

I kept it simple, adding flowers and a sentiment.

CWTC: Blue and White

 

Hello,

We have a new challenge over at Christmas with the cuties and this months theme is blue and white.

The Paper Shelter: Going digital

 

Hello,

The challenge over at The Paper Shelter this week is going digital, so we would like to see digital elements on your makes.

I matted both the paper and image on black card and added golden ribbon and some orange enamel dots.

We look forward to seeing your creations!

I made a similar card with Easter stamps earlier on in the year.

The papers came from the seaside themed range from Nitwit collections.

Parents Cards

Hello,

The title of this post may be a little confusing but let me explain. Last week I had a couple of occasions, fathers day , my dogs second birthday and my mum's birthday.

The two cards here are what I made for them.

My first card is my mum's birthday card. Her favourite cards are measles so I made this one using a cute whimsy penguin image, coloured with spectrum noirs and Promarkers. I thought this one went perfectly.

I used Nitwit collections Cherish papers, matted on white. I die cut the border along the top, printed a sentiment and verse and added flowers, ribbon, lace and pearls.

I coloured this sweet koala with Promarkers and die cut into a circle.
