La Pashe Garden Swing

Good morning blog readers & friends!

Here is today's card!

Did you see it on Create & Craft TV a couple of weeks ago???
I was super excited about that I can tell you! lol

The image I have used is Garden Swing,

one of the new range of Clear Polymer Stamps

available from La Pashe

My base card is 8"x8" 

The papers I have used are from Papermania.

I added a couple of fishtails, a doily, some Card Candi & ribbon from my stash!

The lace under the ribbon was being hoarded for that special occasion!

I also used a border punch for a bit of added detail!

The image was coloured with my ususal mix of Flexmarker, Promarkers

& I think there may have been a touch of Copic in there too!

I took great delight in deliberately colouring outside the lines on this one!

It has a great feeling of Spring about it don't you think?

Winter Fence Robin

Good Moning lovely blog peeps!

I love the way all these little faces smile at me whenever I come to my blog!

It's a bit like having you all in my front room with me!

Anyhoo, enough of my nonsense!

Here is my Just Inklined card for today!

It's a Christmas Card!!!!!

I thought that since spring had finally sprung you might be just about 

able to cope with a little bit of snow! lol

My inspiration for this card sprang to mind when I saw a little Robin

on the bird feeder in my mum & dads garden! I couldn't get the song

When The Red Red Robin Comes Bob Bob Bobbing Along 

out of my head! My grandad used to sing this to us all the time!

 

The image I have used is 'Winter Fence Robin'

This is one of the images which are exclusive to 

The Best Of Just Inklined 2012 CD-Rom

The image & sentiment were printed on Print Perfect, 

it's absolutely fantastic for stamping/printing  & colouring on! 

I made a White on White 6"x6" card, 

using Linen Embossed cardstock for everything else!

The image was coloured up with Promarkers, then some glittery accents

 added using Diamond Sparkles & my trusty quickie glue pen!

Then it was cut out with an oval nestie & matted onto a scallop oval.

The embossed panel was done with a Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder.

The snowflakes & flourishes were Marianne Creatables dies.

The Dewdrops were in my stash & the Faux Silk ribbon is from

Dainty Paperie I love that etsy shop!

The font I have used is  a free font called Noel

Thanks for popping in I hope you enjoyed your visit!

The beutiful image I have used is from our Sponsor & is called 

Flowers for my Mommy

I coloured her up with a mix of  Promarkers, Copics & Flexmarkers.

The sentiment was from Sentiments 4 You which is currentlt closed.

The little crochet flower is from my stash & I have no recollection where it came from!

The ribbon is from my local haberdasher & started off life as plain Organza.

I melted it with my heat gun to get the crinlkle effect.
