A Card for Through the Craft Door Facebook Page

This last weekend I was lucky enough to be allowed to download this gorgeous "Wild Roses" image from "Through the Craft Door" Facebook page, and I have to admit that roses are one of those flowers I love and so did my mum, whose favourite colour was a deep deep red one, and she would plant whole beds of them in her garden, and she also love the scent of them to, I can if I shut my eyes see her bending over the flowers and drinking in the smell of them. She also love to collect pictures of them to, and my dad would bring her home calendars that were full of the pictures and then frame them for her.
So you can imagine that this image bought lovely memories back for me, and I was also extremely lucky to receive from a very dear friend of mine in Guernsey a rose bush out of the blue and this one also is a deep red so Im so looking forward to seeing it come into bloom.
I think I had better get back to explaining what I have done, I printed the image onto white card then used my copic pens to colour it, afterwards I used a square Nestabilitie die to cut it out and Art Nouveau one for the mount out of red card.
The actual card is a 7.50"x 7.50" white card with a first mount out of red card the papers are from SweetShoppe Designs and I have use three of the papers and layered them up as shown. I also used a ribbon which is just shown in the left hand corner above the pink paper and below the top multi green mount. I then placed my mounted image towards the top in the center with the sentiment down below towards the right hand corner. To finish of I have used some Nuvo Pearl drops in all four courners.

A Christmas Card for Facebooks Sunday with Santa Challenge

This weeks theme for Sundays with Santa was all about "Sports" and this was the card I created for it, its Tilda out with her Ski's ready to take to the piste. I stamped her onto white card then  used my copic pens to colour and I then used a square die to cut her out and used a fancy one for the mount out of blue card and before I actually stuck it to the mount I used my sakura glue pen and fine glitter to create the feel of snow. The sentiment was created in the same way as the Image and mounted on a smaller die from the same die set.
The base card is a 6.75"x 6.75" white card and the first mount out of blue card the paper is from the Phil Martins paper pack and I have used a piece of the same blue card and a Martha Stewart border punch to create the layer across the card.
I then placed my mounted image in the top left hand corner and the sentiment was placed in the bottom right hand corner.
To finish of I have used some glitter drop along the punched piece of card.

Another card for ArtbyMiran Facebook Challenge

This months Facebook Challenge for ArtbyMiran is a "Anything Goes" one but with a twist is has to be on a shaped card, so I took a large sheet of white card and cut out the shape you can see with a Go Kreate Die.
The image was printed onto white card and I then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used a smaller shaped die for her and drew around the die to create the mount out of green card.
The base card is about 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of green card and the papers are also from ArtbyMiran which was a freebie on Facebook, I have used two papers the first an all over leaf one in various Autumn colours and the second which is difficult to see is another from the set cut in a strip and I used a Martha Stewart Leaf border punch down two sides and placed in on top down the middle of the card.
I then wrapped a ribbon which I removed from a very old card and laid it down the left hand side and the mounted image in the middle. The sentiment was one I found on the internet and then placed this also on a piece of green card it was then stuck in the bottom left hand corner on top of some punched out leaves.

A Card for Sundays with Santa Facebook Challenge - "Non Traditional Colours"

Good Morning fellow Crafters, well its not raining at the moment but the clouds are on their way back so I guess we shall have some presently. My hubby and I are feeling rather tired this morning as our dog Missy was up every 2 hours with a tummy problems (I wont go into details) and needed to go outside, poor little girl she really did look sorry for herself this morning. She unfortunately does have a sensitive stomach and it causes no end of problems and this is probably a bug shes picked up with her sniffing in places she shouldnt. Ive rung the Vet (even on a Sunday) and shes suggested just giving her a Kaolin paste and no food so keep your fingers crossed it works as we certainly need a good night sleep tonight.
Todays card has been created with the Knitted Heart image from Funky Kits and as the Challenge is all about non traditional colours for a Christmas card I had to put my thinking cap on and this is what I came up with, I coloured her with my copics then cut her out with the new Labels 34 from Nestabilities and I have used a fancy one for the mount. The sentiment was stamped onto a banner and cut out and another for the mount.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of purple card and the papers are from Nitwits "Snow Princess" digi paper set, the first a purple paper with white stars on and the second is a floral one which I have cut a strip and I have used a snowflake border punch from Martha Stewart. The third a green strip one.
I then placed my mounted image in the center and stuck three different sized pearls down the side in the two alternative corners and the sentiment across the bottom.

A Card for the Sugar Bowl Challenge

Good Afternoon Crafters, oh Im so excited Im of to the NEC tomorrow and Im really looking forward to it, hubby is coming with me and it will be his credit card I shall be using so Im going to have fun while I can. Anyway todays card is for this weeks Sugar Bowl Sketch Challenge and for any other challenge I can find, its one of the beautiful Funky Kits stamps and Ive coloured it with my copic pens then cut it out with a oval die, then Ive used a beaded oval for the mount. The sentiment is one from my stash and has been mounted onto a piece of blue card.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue card, the papers I have used are from Donna's Bearlymine Christmas Fun digi paper set, the first one is a blue background with snowflakes on and then for the other two corners I have used a star on a blue background and the other is a sentiment one.
I have layered them up as the sketch asks and then put the mounted image in the center with the sentiment underneath. The snowflakes where punched out with several Martha Stewart Snowflake punches and then dipped in some glass glitter and layered up then positioned as the sketch requires.
This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-
