A New Home a Card for my Daughter

I had a text from my youngest daughter on Friday to let me know that she was soon moving into a bungalow so I thought it was time to get ahead and create a card for her. This image is one of Lyn Young's "Dragonsmoore Digi Images" its called "New Home" and I have printed it onto white card then used my copic pens to colour it, afterwards I used my rotatrim to cut it out.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of beige/brown card and the papers are from Sweetshoppe Digi Images "No Place like Home" paper set, and I have used three papers for my card and layered it up as shown. The sentiment is one I created on my computer and printed it and layered it on another piece of beige/brown card.

A Card for the Sugar Bowl Challenge

Good Morning Crafters, its been awhile since I managed to get a card created for the Sugar Bowl "April Showers brings forth May Flowers" Challenge, so I thought I had better put that right, and yesterday I created this card using "Sweet and Sassy" image, though its a Elizabeth Bell image its not available at Funky Kits anymore so I wont give you the link to try.
I have stamped her onto white card before colouring her with my copic pens, afterwards I used one of my Nestabilitie layer dies to cut her out and used a larger one for her mount. The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue card the papers are from Sweetshoppe Digi Designs and this set are "Love Blooms Here" and I have used three papers for my card.
The first is a all over flower pattern on a white background and the second a plain green one and the third a blue and white diamond pattern, I have layered them up as shown and finished it of with a stamped sentiment which was then layered up and placed in the bottom right hand corner.

A Card created with Aurora Wings Images

Good Morning Crafters, well I have at last managed to get a card created for this months Aurora Wings Facebook Birthday Challenge and for this I have used this gorgeous Mermaid image and she has a glass slipper on her tail you will find her here. I printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used the large circle Nestabilitie die to cut out and a fancy one for the mount. The sentiment is one from my stash I think its a Creative Expressions one and this was mounted onto blue card.
The base card is a 7"x 7" white card and the first mount is of blue card and the papers are from that I bought from Etsy digi downloads, its a under the sea set, and the first paper is a pale blue with bubbles on and the second and third are spotty and these I have cut into a 6.3/4" and a 5" inch square and then used Martha Stewart border and corner punches on and layered up and then across the center I wrapped a multi coloured piece of ribbon and attached it to the back of the first mount.
I then placed my mounted image in the center and the sentiment was placed in the bottom right hand corner, and for the final flourish I have placed some aquamarine pearls in the top right hand corner and bottom left one.

A Card with the gorgeous Pink Gem image

Good Morning Crafters, Ive had the most busy weekend that I can remember, I decided to sell some of my stamps on Crafty Sellars Facebook page and it all went crazy, all though its a wonderful thing to happen its also very stressful making sure all the stamp sets went to the right person and of course poor hubby rushed of to post them this morning. And then I had my monthly shop as well so Im relieved to have a few hours to myself and on Saturday I eventually managed to finish of two cards that I had started last week and this is one of them, hes called "Josh with Dinosaurs" and you will find him here, and I printed him onto white card then coloured him with my copic pens.
I then cut him out with my Nestabilitie Die Labels 17 and then drew around the die to create the mount for it out of blue card. The sentiment was also cut out some more of the blue card and its one of the Dienamics banner dies.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue card, and the papers are from the "Fabsaurus" digi paper set and you will find them here, and this is also from Pink Gem Designs and I have used two papers for this card, the first is a all over dinosaur design and the second is a flower and leaf design and I have used EK Success Dinosaur border punch, and then around the middle is a dinosaur ribbon and attached to the back of the first mount.
The mounted image was placed in the middle and the sentiment is placed in the bottom right hand corner. And the final flourish is the 4 candi buttons placed in two opposite corners.

Another Card with a Pink Gem Image

Good Morning Crafters, do you know its been a really hectic few days for me, as I decided to clear out a load of my unmounted stamps that I had been hoarding for at least 8 years, I bought them in 2005 mounted them cut them out and never used most of them, and do you know the buyers went mad it was like the January Sales in Oxford Street, in the end yesterday I was making so many mistakes and one very bad one that I decided to take a break for a few days, and also I think Ive now exhausted my store of the though I do still have a load of wooden mounted ones that I must look through sometime, but not sure if they will go as easily as the unmounted ones.
Anyway Im getting of the subject, this image is one of the gorgeous Pink Gem ones and this is "Chloe with a Balloon" and you will find her here, I have printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, I cut her out with a circle Nestabilitie die and the Butterfly one for the mount. The sentiment is one of the Papercraft die sets.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink card, the papers I have used are from Sweetshoppes "Party Poppers" digi paper set, I have used three of the papers and the second I have used a butterfly border punch from Tonic. And to add dimension I have lifted the wings of the Butterflies to make them look as if they are moving.
I have mounted the papers as follows a pink one for the first layer a polka dot one for the second and the third is a purple one, on top I have placed my mounted image and across the top left hand corner I have used a La La Land heart banner and down the right side is the sentiment.
