A Card for the ArtbyMiran Facebook Challenge

Good Afternoon Crafters, I know Im extremely lax as posting cards here on my No.2 blog this is because its been rather busy over on my No.1 blog, weve have a blog hop and a about 3 other challenges to write up and schedule, plus which I have been trying to get ahead for a couple of months of DT work due to the fact Im due to have a cataract removed on the 29th of the Month and Im not sure how much Im going to be able to achieve while Im waiting for my new glasses so I do hope you understand my delay in posting a card.
This card was created for the ArtbyMiran Facebook page and this is one of her gorgeous Autumn images and I have printed her onto white card before colouring her with my copic pens, afterwards I cut her out with a rectangle Nestabilitie daie and used a fancy one for the mount out of green card, the sentiment was created in the same way and the die is also from the same die set as the mount for the image.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of green card and the papers are also from ArtbyMiran this is the Christmas paper set, and I have used three of the papers, the first is a green one and on top I have used two of the papers and a holly border punch down the edges. I then wrapped a red holly ribbon around the card and attached it to the back of the first mount.
I placed my mounted image towards the left with the sentiment at the bottom on the right, to finish of I have used a piece of red ribbon tied in a bow on top of some punched out holly leaves and some holly berries which were then placed in the top right hand corner.

Craftyhazelnuts Patterned Paper Challenge No.6

Good Morning Crafters, can you believe we are almost onto Christmas its only 4 weeks away I hope that youve have all your Xmas cards ready to post as Im sure it will be hectic at the Post Office during the next few weeks, I always get mine in the post early so that we dont get caught up in the queues in the Post Office.
Anyway this is the last Challenge for 2015 and as its almost Christmas I thought I would post a Card for the season, but first I want to thank Hazel for allowing me to join her Design Team and to wish her and her hubby a lovely Christmas and the rest of the girls on the Design Team.

And now for the Card

This beautiful image is from the "Sparkling Poinsettia" Design set, I stamped it and coloured it with my copic pens, then cut it out with Nestabilitie Labels Die No.1 and a fancy one for the mount.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of red card, and the paper is also from the same design set and the image "Sparkling Poinsettia" and I laid it on top of the first mount and I used a punch on each of the corners.
I then placed my mounted image in the center and put red pearls in all the four corners just to finish it of.
Now that youve seen my Card I do hope you will pay a visit to the Craftyhazelnuts Patterned Paper Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you will want to take part in this months "Anything Goes with Patterned Paper" Challenge.

Today would have been my Sons 51st Birthday

I cannot believe that so many years have flown by and so much has happened since this beautiful baby boy was born, I know I only had you 6 months but those months are the most precious to me, they gave me time to get to know you and love you. Im so sorry you suffered so much in the last two months and I wouldnt wish that on you again, so I know it was for the best that you didnt manage to surmount it.
My dearest Son Ian you missed meeting your two younger sisters and all your nieces and nephews and now your Big Sister is also a grandmother to two gorgeous boys, so sleep well my love hopefully one day I will meet you again.

A Card for Facebooks ArtbyMiran Challenge

Good Morning Crafters, well last week I discovered I had won a digi on the Facebooks ArtbyMiran Challenge and I picked this young lady "Lily" and I printed her onto white card to colour her with copic pens, I then used a Nestabilitie Die to cut her out and a fancy one for the mount out of blue card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a base card is a blue card, the papers are from Sweetshoppes "Come Rain and Shine" paper set, and I used 4 of the papers the first a white background with blue and yellow flowers on, the second is again a white background with a tartan pattern in blue and yellow. The third and forth are blue and green and layered up as shown in the photo.
I then placed the mounted image in the center and created a floral mount in the top left hand corner the sentiment was stamped and positioned in the bottom right hand corner and the final flourish are the two gems in the top right and bottom left hand corners.

5th Challenge for Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge

Yet another month has flown by and we have reached our 5th "Anything Goes" Challenge over on Hazels Craftyhazelnuts Paper Patterned Challenge and we are so lucky to be able to choose what sort of card we wish to enter (and you do to) but YOU MUST MAKE SURE ITS ON PATTERNED PAPER so that isnt a problem is it? And if your anything like me you have boxes of it so its lovely to be able to use it up in such a wonderful way.
As always Hazel has a fabulous prize for you

And for this one again I am using my Heartfelt Stamps and Dies.

These stamps is from the "Market Harvest" stamp and die set, I stamped the large image first onto white card then coloured it with my copic pens, the two smaller stamped images you can see have also been treated in the same way but I cut them out with the dies that come with this set.
The base card is 6.50"x 6.50" white card and the first mount is a beige one and on top of this I have used one of the papers from the paper pad set its a mauve distressed paper, and then mounted my larger stamped image onto a piece of the same beige card which has a stitched edge to it, I placed it onto of the base layer and then moulded the two extra stamps and stuck them across two of the corners as shown. To finish of I have stamped the sentiment in the top right hand corner directly onto the larger stamped mounted image.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the "Craftyhazelnuts Patterned Paper" Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "Anything Goes" Challenge, but dont forget we want to see your card using Patterned Papers for any part of it.
