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:

Things With Wings

Hi everyone!

It's time for a brand new challenge over at

Crafting For All Seasons where the theme this time is 

Things With Wings

Here's what I created!

I have used a sponsor image Trudi FruitFly Buggmee from

Lacy Sunshine

she's so sweet, looks a bit like one of my great nieces.

Here's a closer look!

I coloured her with promarkers & cut out with an oval nestie.

All elements were inked with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink.

The kraft card blank is from JellyBean Crafts, the border punch is from Tonic,

 the sentiment from Craftwork Cards, the twine from American Crafts &

 the strawberry charm from Meiflower!

The little seam binding bow is from my stash, I can't  recall where from!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you like my little card

& I hope you can play along with the challenge.

Quotations at OLLCB

Good morning all.

 It's Monday & it's time for the latest challenge at

Ohh La La Creations

The theme this fortnight is

Quotations

Here's my card!

I've made an Easel Card using a scalloped square card & an image from the 

Passion for Fashion CD Rom

which is available from the Ohh La La Creations shop here.

As you can see I've gone for a black & white Art Deco type theme too.

I found the quotation using a google search on the internet.

Isn't it just fabulous! I mounted it on some foam tape & used that as 

the stop for the easel section.

I added the image to a scalloped circle & a plain black circle.

Some matting & layering, some black lace, a little bow & some

 Papermania gems from my stash et voila!

I hope you like my card!

The papers I have used are from Papermania, I've had them in my stash forever! 

I've hadn't used them in ages so I rooted them out & have

 been using them up so I can make room for more! lol

The little arrows are cut from one of the sheets & I've popped them up on a 

little bit of shaker tape for a bit of dimension! 

The sentiments are also partly popped up on a bit of foam tape.

I've decorated the inside too!

La Pashe - Ski Snowman

Good Morning all, it's Saturday Yay!

Time for me to share another La Pashe creation with you!

Here's what I've made!

I've been playing with The Christmas Box CD Rom

this week. I love this little Ski Snowman he's just too cute!

I cut him out & layered him up using pinflair glue.

I added lots of sparkle but I'm not sure it shows properly in the photos!

I ran around the edges with glossy accents then sprinkled with 

glamour dust, I used a quickie glue pen to stick the glitter to the image.

The boder was made with a tonic punch & I added some twine from my stash

A little side view to show the layers!

I also added little rosette & a couple of buttons from my stash.

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

(Sorry about the photo quality but it is very dull & wet here today!)

The image I have use is High Tops which is just perfect for male or female!

I opted to make a bit of a girly Tee Pee card.

The base is pink & the lovely papers are from the My Minds Eye

I coloured the image with promarkers & added a little

gathered ribbon around it. I added some little charms which are

hanging on some twine.

The sentiment is an LOTV stamp,

Good morning all

It's time to play in a brand new challenge over at

Here's what I made

I've used my own image this time as I was itching to colour this little beauty up!

She is "Jumper" from Saturated Canary. 

Our sponsor this time is

Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet

I used the sketch from Sketchy Colours

for the layout of my card.

Here's a closer look at my image

I coloured her up with Promarkers & flexmakers.

Ain't she sweet!

The sentiment is by Craftwork Cards

I also added a seam binding, triple bow, some tiny little pearls from Meiflower

& a little Hope awareness ribbon charm. 

I haven't done anything with the inside of this card yet!

Faithful Friends at OLL

Good Morning all!

There's a brand new challenge starting over at 

Oh La La Creations Challenge Blog

It's my turn to choose the theme this time & I've chosen

"Faithful Friends"

Feel free to interpret this as you will!

You don't have to use OLL images or papers but

 it does make us smile when you do!

If you haven't tried OLL designs yet, check out the shop for free samples!

Here's my creation!

I've used this cute little Westie & papers from the

Faithful friends CD, available in the Ooh La La Creations shop

Isn't he adorable!

The CS I have used is from Southfield Stationers.

I used an EK Success punch for the borders. The ribbon is recycled from

some clothing. My friends all used to chop these off & throw them away,

now they collect them for me & I use them on cards I make for charities

which helps to keep the costs down!

The buttons are from my stash & the sentiment is by Craftwork Cards.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you like my card & I hope

Spring Lambs

Good morning all!

It's Thursday so it's time for me to share a Just Inklined card with you!

Here's what I made this time!

This image is Lambs. 

Such a sweet image for any occasion, especially at this time of year!

The person this card is for is currently helping a friend out with lambing!

As this card is destined for a man, I wanted to keep it clen & simple 

& give it a rustic feel! I used Kraft card for the base,

I did a bit of shading with my flexmarkers, cut out with an oval nestie,

then inked with Vintage Linen & Frayed Burlap

distress inks whilst still in the die!

I added a piece of white card & a little bit of Jute (Burlap) Tie Strap which  was

 originally intended for garden use but I thought it was perfect for my card!

The buttons were in my stash & were recycled from an old jumper of hubby's

The sentiment is a LOTV stamp.

Thanks for popping in, I hope you enjoyed your visit!
