A card using the Pink Gem "Emma" image

This week I decided to print some of the beautiful images I have of young ladies and this one is from Pink Gem Designs and her name is "Emma" and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour. Afterwards I used large oval to cut her out and a fancy one for the mount out of pink card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount of pink card and the papers I have used are also from Pink Gem Designs and this one is  "Shabby Daisies" design and you will find them here. I have used three papers from the design set, the first a all over pink background and the second and third are alternative pink and white papers with small daisies on it.
I then placed my mounted image in the middle with a sentiment at the bottom on the right. To finish of I created a triple bow with a diamond buckle threaded through the middle and some large pearls in two of the opposite corners.

A Card for Sugar Nellie's "Anything Goes" Challenge

Good Morning Crafters, well would you believe it, its been over a month since I posted a card on this No.2 blog, but its been a busy one and although this image was coloured and ready to make into a card I never seem to get around to doing so.
This is one of the All Dressed Up images and I printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I cut her out with my rotatrim and layered her up onto a mount of blue card. The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue card and the papers I have used are from Maya's "Coffee Time" and I have used three papers and layered them up as you can see, then placed my mounted image towards the left with the sentiment at the bottom on the left.
To finish of I have used 6 pearls to created the two flourishes down the top two corners.

Todays two cards were made from ideas from Sue Wilson and they are created with her Snow Ice crystals and her "Let it Snow" dies, I have created them in red and blue and I also used one of her Embossing Folders for the first layer.
I hope you like the result.

A Christmas Card for Sundays with Santa Facebook Challenge

I cannot believe its almost a month since I posted anything on this No.2 blog, but its been a busy month full of things, firstly I had trouble with my right eye, I had a hole in my retina that needed lazering and then followup appointments, then the dog Missy was very ill, and yet more Vet appointments, then we had a week away in Guernsey with our friends which was absolutely lovely and the weather was so kind to us to. Also my eldest grandson arrived back from Afghanistan are a tour of duty there, Im just hoping that this will be his last trip hes already done 3 turns there so its time they let him stay home with his son Jacob, whos now walking and he does miss him so much. And the latest is my sweet great grandson Jacob has developed Chickenpox from his cousins so I have a feeling hes not a happy chappy.
Anyway todays card was created from a idea of Sue Wilsons but I have turned it into a Christmas card. I have used two colours of pale green and white for my design plus the poinsetta in the top left hand corner. The dies I used are also Sue Wilsons so I do hope you like the end result.
