Here Comes The Bride

Good morning all!

It's Monday, therefore it's time for me to share my DT card 

for the latest challenge over at Eureka Stamps, 

This week, the theme is very fitting for the month of June!

#198 Here Comes The Bride

I've used the delightfully pretty image, # 55601 Wedding Bells

to create my White on White CAS Wedding card.

The inspiration for my layout came from the sketch over at

Share Joy Challenge

I started with an A5 Linen embossed base.

The embossed Script panel was popped up on some foam tape for 

added dimension, next I created a frame using two Spellbinders 

rectangle dies then added a wire word. 

A little bit of shading was added to the image using promarkers, then

it was diecut & then glitter added to the edge, before matting on to the

scalloped circle die cut.

That's about it!

I do hope you like my card & I hope you can play in 

the Challenge this week! Can't wait to see what you create.

Good morning all!

It's Thursday already. I'm getting excited as it's almost time for my annual 

week off to take in all the sights sounds smells & all the action of the 

Edinburgh Festival Fringe!

It's also time for me to post a card for Just Inklined lol

Here's what I made this week!

The image I've used is Wedding Carriage, one of my fav wedding images.

I've used it on a variety of wedding cards, all different styles

I always wonder where the happy couple are off to on Honeymoon!

I coloured the image a little with some Promarkers & Flexmarkers.

The die cut & distress inked while still in the die!

I distressed the edges with a pair of serrated scissors.

 I've used Paisley Patterened papers from American Crafts

& added a strip of lace from my stash.

I also tied a bow with the lace & sewed on a pearly green button.

The button is just gorgeous in real life, but it hasn't shown up so well in my photo!

The gorgeous, love words, were cut using a Memory Box Die.

I also cut a little border with a Spellbinders die!

Good Morning all!

I trust you are well!

Today we're off to a wedding, let's hope the sun shines!

I wanted to share with you all, the card I made.

A Clean & Simple 6x6inch card & a little gift card too!

I wish I could take credit for the heart word cloud but sadly not.

I can tell you who is responsible though!

A few weeks back, I was introduced to a facebook page called 

Slinky Designs

if you haven't checked out the page already, please do,

 it's well worth a visit.

Anyhoo, the owner made this as an A3 poster for me & very kindly 

shared the file in a smaller size so I could make these! 

I have to say, I was astounded when I saw it as it was just as I pictured it.

There are a great many designs on his page & I have to say the prices are 

beyond reasonable & he's so helpful too.

Enjoy your Saturday all!

Just Married

Good morning Lovelies!

It's Thurdsday so it's time for a Just Inklined Card!

Here's what I made this week!

As June is a busy month for weddings I have gone with that as my theme!

The image I have used is Just Married, one of the fab images 

 perfect for wedding cards from Just Inklined!

My card base is 8"x8" & the DP I have used is

from the First Edition Dreamcatcher stack.

I have added some punched hearts (Martha Stewart) to which I added some 

glamour dust. I also added a length of wide lace from my stash,

The flourishes are a Marianne Creatables Die, the seam binding bow from 

my stash & the flowers were handmade for my by Lee ages ago!

I added some gems around the edge of the image & on the lights

of the car! There was a bit of Glamour Dust involved too!

This image always makes me thin of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,

Wedding Carriage

Good morning all!

Is it Thursday already? Crikey!!!!

Time for me to share another Just Inklined creation with you!

As the wedding season is fast approaching,

I thought I'd share a wedding card with you

Here's what I made

I made a White on White, vintage feel card using the beautiful image,

Wedding Carriage 

There are lots of gorgeous images for weddings over at 

Just Inklined,, be sure to check them all out!

I do like white on white cards but as the image needs to be coloured,

I added subtle touches of colour using some flexmarkers.

I trimmed the image down & matted it onto a diecut background.

This was made using a Marianne Designs die which I cut

 twice & joined together, covering the join with some seam binding!

The lace border is made using a Martha Stewart border punch.

I used  my favourite, Linen Embossed Cardstock from 

Southfield Stationers for most of this card. 

The image is printed on to Print Perfect card from La Pashe.

There is no colour bleeding when you use your alcohol markers

 which is important on this type of card.

The sentiment is a LOTV stamp, the flowers are from my stash

& the bow is seam binding also from my stash.

Thanks for popping in!

I'd like to enter my card in a few challenges:

It's All About The Vintage - Anything Goes
TIME OUT Challenges - Time Flies, Love Lasts

Just Married

Good Morning Peeps!

I hope everyone is well!

It's Thursday already which means it's time for a 

Just Inklined card!

As you can see I have made a Wedding Card!

The image I have used is the beautiful Just Married. 

Just perfect for happy couples of any age I reckon!

I coloured it gently with my flexmarkers, cut with a round die, then 

inked whilst still in the die. You might notice this started off as a 

white on white card but colours started to creep in a little! 

The sentiment was printed out  in Marriage Script & treated in 

the same way. I added a script embossed panel which was lightly inked.

Some seam binding & a few little roses to finish of the embellishment.

Here's a closer look at the image & the flowers.

To me it looks like they're heading off into the sky!

There are more fantastic wedding images available here!

A little side view to let you see that I have decorated the inside too!

Thanks for popping in! Hope you like my little card!

Good Morning lovely blog peeps!
It's time for the new challenge at Crafting For All Seasons
where the theme this time is
Wedding /Anniversary
Here's my little card!

This is for a couple who are a bit off the wall & I think
it has quite a funky feel to it!

 It could be used for a Wedding or Anniversary

I opted to use my own image from
Bugaboo Stella/Gus Marriage the sentiment came with it.

Here's a closer lookat the happy couple!

I lightly coloured the image with Promarkers & Flexmarkers.

The design papers are from American Crafts.

I cut along the edges of the chevrons for a bit of detail.

I coloured the flower, it's hard to see as it's quite pale.

A little bit of  Stickles adds more dimension.

I mounted the sentiment on foam tape & then added some roses 

which I cut from some trim that has been in my stash for ages.

Our sponsor this time is the lovely

Joanna Sheen

Hopping Over The Threshold at The Crafting Cafe!

Good morning all you lovely peeps!

This is a first for me!

 I am combining a DT post for La Pashe & 

a blog hop post for The Crafting Cafe facebook group!

As the theme of the blog hop is "Let's Celebrate",

it occured to me that my card was perfect for both.

 I checked that  it was okay with everyone & it is, so here we go!

The hop goes live at 9am, so if it's early & you've just dropped in 

 you may have to wait a little while if you want to join in with the hop!

If it's already past 9am, you may well have stopped by from  

the lovely Katie's blog if not pop over to Nikki's Blog

& start the hop from there!

I've made a 6"x6" Wedding Card!

The stamp I have used is one of the new range of 

Clear Polymer stamps over at La Pashe! 

This one is called Over The Threshold & is one of several stamps

suitable for wedding cards! As the wedding season is upon us now,

I know many of us will find these useful!

This card has gone to my sister who's off to a wedding tomorrow!

I fussy cut around  the Happy Couple after colouring with 

a combination of FlexMarkers & Promarkers.

The background was coloured with distress inks.

I had some silvery grey vellum in my stash which I have been itching 

to use so I used it for matting & layering & for the diecut grass & heart.

I also used some fantastic faux silk ribbon from my stash!

I made the circle sentiment myself in my graphics program.

I've included it as a freebie below. 

Please feel free to take it if you like! All I ask is that you don't share. 

Please direct people here to get it instead.

Now if you're hopping you'll want to move on to our lovely Barbara's blog

La Pashe Hand Tied Lillies

Good morning lovely bloggers & friends!

Here is todays card

The image is Hand Tied Cala Lillies.

one of the range of Clear Polymer Stamps available at 

A perfect image for a sympathy card,wedding card, engagement

or perhaps even Easter.

I opted for a White On White layout & coloured the image

 with  a mix of Promarkers & Flexmarkers for a subtle look.

The ivory satin ribbon was left over from some wedding invitaions I made.

The embossed panels were done with cuttlebug embossing folder (I think)!
