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.
This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

A Card for ArtbyMiran Facebook Challenge

I promised last night to write up a post describing what I have done with this image and card design. The image is from ArtbyMiran, and the papers are to. If you take part in the Reserved Challenge every month you are given a free image for the following month once the present challenge is finished but you must take part in it to win it.
I printed this image onto white card and coloured it with not only copic pens but also my Tonic Nuvo pens (Id taken the image to craft club and as I have far to many copics to take I used the Tonic ones instead) they have not got the about of shades as the copics to but theyve made a decent job of it. I then cut it out with my Nestabilitie die and used a fancy one for the mount, Ive also done the same with the sentiment. (I should have said I glittered the wings and the butterfly)
The base card is a 7"x 7" white card with a first mount out of blue card, the papers are also from ArtbyMiran and this set are the Oriental ones, I have used three of the papers and layered them up as show, the second and third ones I have used the butterfly border and corner punches on them.
I then placed my mounted image in the center and the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.

A Card for ArtbyMiran Facebook Challenge

Good Morning Crafters, its been awhile since I blogged again here on my No.2 blog but there has been a reason for them firstly my friend and neighbour died from Lung Cancer on the 11th, and it really hit me hard. Then her children started to clear her house out and this is because she was on Social Security who paid her rent and they wanted to clear it before they needed to pay any rent on it.
Then to crown it all while walking towards the backgate I tripped on a cover on the drain and because I was holding a bag of toilet rolls I not only didnt see the cover I could not do anything about helping myself I fell and hit my head on a brick wall, and of course it wasnt a good thing to do, I slit my right ear which is still sore and I have bruises in my head and face plus those on my body, (knees and legs). I did get a paramedic to come and check me over and luckily it wasnt needed to take me to hospital but I have found my balance is a bit of at times and Im not sure why this is happening though it didnt start for two days afterwards.
Anyway this card is created with the reserved image from ArtbyMiran these are free if you have created a card with the last image if not you pay a nominal amount less that the usual as  you dont know what it looks like until you unzip it. This image is "Sweet Sally" and I have printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used a Nestabilitie Die to cut her and a fancy one for the mount.
The papers are also from ArtbyMiran and this set is "Happy Days" I have used 5 of the papers and layered them up as you can see in the photo. The sentiment was stamped and treated in the same way as the image.

Aurora Wings "Bluebell Sprite"

Good Afternoon Crafters, and as its only hours away Happy New Year as well, I hope its a even better one for you than the last one. Ive been busy just lately making my DT cards and this was one that I had extra and I thought I would create a card with it.
Its the Aurora Wings "Bluebell Sprite" and I have a very dear friend who lost her hubby this year who absolutely adores them and will make special trips to woods to see them when they are in full bloom, for me I love the smell as well and this little image is so right to.
I have printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour it, Ive tried to get the blue/mauve colour as possible as Im not sure they are totally blue, and I have white ones and pink ones in my garden. I then cut her out with my Nestabilitie Die Lables No.8 and then a fancy one for the mount. The sentiment is one from my stash and I have mounted this onto a piece of blue card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card and the first mount is blue card and the papers are from Wild Roses "Bluebell" paper pad and the second paper is just a strip thats been punched down the edge and placed on the right and then on top I have place some die cuts from Wild Rose and Nestabilitie dies.
I then placed my mounted image towards the left and the sentiment was placed at the bottom on the right and the last flourish are the three dark blue gems in the left hand corner.
This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-
