Petticoats Three

Good Morning blogger peepers! 

I hope you're all having a good week so far!

Here's another little card from me!

I went a bit out of my comfort zone with this one!

The image is Petticoats Three from Just Inklined.

I used an Elegant Square card base then added some Kraft paper, 

which was recycled from a paper carrier bag. I did toy with the idea 

of really scrunching it up but I just couldn't! 

I tore the edges then added some design paper which I got in a 

goody box from Craftwork Cards. I tore the edges of that too & distressed 

with Spun Sugar distress ink.

The image was coloured up with a selection of Promarkes & Flexmarkers,

Then I tore the edges & distressed again using the Spun Sugar distress ink.

The organza ribbon & twine were recycled from a gift.

The flower is one of many I got from Lee, aka Crafty Loops ages ago!

(I am so careful about using them as they are so nice! lol).

I gave that a bit of the Spun Sugar treatment too & added the little

 pearl spray from my stash.

I added a little sentiment ticket which is by The Crafty Pad Designs

& a little photo corner tag secured with a brad.

Forgot to mention the die cut doily which is a Mariannes Design Die!

Monochromatic Whoopsi Daisy!

Good morning lovely blog peeps!

Here I am with my DT card for the brand new challenge over at 

Crafting For All Seasons

This fortnight, the theme is Monochromatic.

As you can see I have gone for shades & tones of brown.

The only deviation from brown is a tiny touch of blush on the skin tones!

I have used the fabby sketch 

from Seize The Birthday

for the basic layout of my card sadly I missed that challenge!

The image I have used is from our sponsor

Whoopsi Daisy Sheet 405

I used a comb of FlexMarkers & ProMarkers to bring them to life.

I used a Nestie to cut them out &  inked with Old Paper distress ink.

I added a seam binding double bow & also a button with a length of 

seam binding threaded through & tied in a knot.

the sentiment ticket is from My Grafico

The papers are from First Edition

Here's a last little look!

Thanks so mch for stopping by!

Just A Plane Birthday Card

Good morning blog hoppers!

I hope you're having a good day!

Today's card was made just or fun!

It's for my great nephews 2nd birthday today!
Happy 2nd Birthday Aryan!

As he's a real rough & tumble little boy & I wanted to make 

a card which wasn't too babyish for him!

I used Kraft CS o make a 6"x6" base.

The image I have used is High Flyin  Mouse from  Rick St Dennis

The layout is from this weeks sketch 

at Chocolate Coffee & Cards

I coloured him up in primary colours uing my usual combo of 

FlexMarkers & ProMarkers then fussy cut around the image

& placed on a mat of Kraft CS.

The papers have been in my stash forever & are by papermania.

I distressed the edges using a pair of errated scissors.

Buttons & twine were the only added embellishments.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed your visit!
