Ladies that Lunch

Good morning lovely blogger friends!

It's Thursday which means I have a Just Inklined card to share with you!

I've made a little easel card this time!

The image I have used is "Ladies that Lunch" 

which is one of the images exclusive to 

The Best Of Just Inklined 2012 CD-Rom

I made it for my friends brthday which is today!

"Happy Birthday Sarah-Jane" 

35 years young & celebrating 

her first Mother's Day as a mum soon!

The image was printed onto the Print Perfect 250 then

coloured with a combination of Promarkes & Flexmarkers.

If you haven't tried Print Perfect yet, you should! 

It's fantastic for the printer & amazing for colouring too!

 The design paper I have used is from the Kitschy Kitchen pad

by Melissa Frances. The ribbon is from my local haberdashers,

it's one of those I hate to use as I don't want it to be gone! lol

JI Sunflowers

Good morning Blogland!

Here's a little card I have to share with you!

The image is Sunflowers from Just Inklined as is  the Ticket!

I made this card for my SIL who just adores Sunflowers.

I decided to make it bright & cheerful, just like the sunflowers!

I coloured the image with Promarkers.

The leaves were cut using a die. I'm not sure who it's by sorry!

I coloured the ticket to match the image.

The papers I have used are from Papermania.

I also added some Magic Mesh, grosgrain ribbon & brads.

These have all been in my stash for ages!

I decorated the inside of the card too!

The green panel is the negative of the leaves die cut!

Thanks for stopping by! It's always nice to see you!

Good afternoon bloggers!

Long time no see my lovelies!

I've been meeting myself coming backwards again so,

I promise I'll try to rectify that really soon!

Todays card is my Crafting For All Seasons DT project!

Where our theme for Challenge #46 is

Die Cuts & Punches

Our sponsor this time is Kenny K! Woo Hoo!

I managed to work with one of my fav images from his shop!

Lady Victoria! 

She's such a stunner!

As you can see I've gone all red & black!

I just had to as I love that colour combo!

I've used my Spellbinder Grand Nesties to cut out the card

Then die cut cogs for embellishments!

I've used promarkers & flexmarkers to colour the image

& added a couple of charms & some gems as well as a sheer ribbon bow!

There are no design papers, just

good old CS

Here's the back of my card. I cut a small slice off the bottom curve

to stop the card falling over to one side!

Here's the side view. As you can see I used the red CS to

line the inside too!

Thanks for dropping by!

Happy Valentines Day!

Good afternoon bloggers!

Here's my second post for today!
This is the CAS Valentines Day Card I made for my hubby!

He's watched me doing so many other Valentine cards with 

hearts & red & white papers, I decided to make something a

little bit different for him!I used an A4 sheet of CS 

folded in half & cut into two A6 cards.

I punched a border using a Tonic punch then

 inked the edges with my liquid chalk inkpad.

I added a double bow (which I had tied already for another

project & didn't use) a computer generated sentiment &

some little blue heart shaped buttons which I've had in my stash 

for ages.

The font I have used is Words Of Love & you can 

download it free from here! I reckon that's about as much as I can say 

about this little creation!

Thanks so much for popping in!

Hoedown At Desert Sands

Good Morning Lovely Bloggers!

Here I am again with a card this time! Yay!!!

This is for the Hoedown at Just Inklined!

Have you heard about their brand new wild Western digital stamps?

The image I have used is Desert Sands. I have also used Tickets from

Just Inklined. I used a blank ticket to which I added my own text.

The base card is Kraft to which I added a matt of checked card.

Here's a closer look!

We all know it's hot out there in the desert & things get burned, right?

My image was no exception!

I coloured it up with a mix of Promarkers & Flexmarkers then

I set fire to the edges, putting it out before the smoke detector went off! lol

The DP is from my stash. I've had it for absolutely ages. Not sure

 who it's by!All I can tell you about it is that it's travel related!

I also added a strip of faux leather which I studded with brads,

a length of twine a little star charm & two large brads which have

all been in my stash for ages! 

I'm trying to use lots of stuff up to make room for some new supplies!

cut him out with a Circle Nestie then inked the edges with a liquid chalk inkpad.

I added a scalloped circle matt & some punched leaves which I embossed

to give some dimendsion.

I added some twine & 3 orental coin charms!
