Another of the new Images from Pink Gem Designs

Good Morning All, this is the second card I created with the brand new Emma images from Pink Gem Designs this one is "Emma Shopping" and you will find her here, dont you just love her, mind you I nearly didnt get to use her because I had a huge blob of Ell that dropped on her head and luckily because I used this oval die from Nestabilitie I was able to cut that part away. I have printed her onto white card then coloured her with my copic pens.
The die cuts are Nestabilitie Grand Oval Dies, and the sentiment is also another of their dies and the sentiment is a new one from Crafters Companion which I thought went well with my image.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount of beige card, and the papers are from Sweetshoppes "Retail Therapy" and I have used two of the papers for the card and the rest for the flower which was created with the new flower system from Marion Smith I used the dies as well as the special tool that comes with them.
The bottom die cut is from Cottage Cutz and was cut from some of the beige card and placed across the bottom. I also used a two sided gold and brown ribbon down the card.

Another of the beautiful Pre-designed Cards from Pink Gem

Good Afternoon Fellow Crafters, well we are a right thunderstorm here in Gloucestershire and Im staying inside, just hope I dont have to turn my computer of as Im writing up this post, anyway Id better stop nattering and get on with it.
Janet of Pink Gem Designs and you will find them here, has been creating some really fabulous and useful pre-designed cards already for you to print and cut out and this is one of two new baby designs I have used this cute little girl one. I printed her onto white card then cut her out with a pair of scissors and a knife, then make it as the design is shown and to finish her of I have used one of the several sentiments that are offered and the final flourish is the pink bow on the right handside.

A Card for the Pink Gem Inspirations Blog

Good Morning Crafters, I know Ive been a bit slack keeping up with No.2 blog and now I have even more excuse not to post as often as I should, this last couple of days has been rather traumatic. On Monday I discovered something wrong with my left eye, I thought originally that I had a migraine Aura and it turned out that it was when the jelly thats attached to your retina had become detached and was causing flashing lights on the left of my vision, it really was uncomfortable to try and concentrate on my colouring (which at the time I was doing) it caused huge floaters to cross my vision. Anyway I got a bit worried as it didnt go away after I took a Sumatriptan tablet and with a little bit of thought I thought my retina had become detached so with a phone call to the out of hours NHS line I rushed of to Gloucester (21 miles away) at 9pm and spent 5 hours waiting to see a eye specialist who didnt turn up and I had to return back to the hospital yesterday. In fact we didnt get to bed till 3am Tuesday morning and back at the hospital by 10.30 yesterday and again we were eventually seen by 12 midday yesterday to be re-assured that the retina hadnt detached but the jelly attached to it had and fortunately for me it had not torn the retina (which would have meant a operation) and I will have to learn to live with the giant floaters crossing my vision and adjust to them as they are not going away, its like having flies on your windscreen or spot before your eyes a real pain.
Anyway back to todays card this was created with the Pink Gems free digi image and I have coloured it with my copic pens and cut out with my Nestabilitie Die No.1 and mounted on a larger one of the same design.
The base card is a 7"x 7" white card with a first mount of brown card and the papers are from Papermania and i have used two papers from the set and around the middle I have stuck a owl ribbon and attached it to the back of the first mount. The sentiment was created on my computer and printed and then cut out as shown. Its a simple layout and I hope you like the result.

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.
