Ruby

I was asked to make a very plain Ruby wedding card.I normally do parchment for some thing special like this .
So reading though the blogg challenges i came up with this idea and also entered it into the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge
All they wanted for the challenge was to incorporate stamping with some sort of scallop.
I stamped a medallion on to card and glittered.Then embossed a scalloped oval.i also embossed each corner and highlighted it with chalk

Where to keep them

I am a novice when it comes to copic markers.Having said that i am building a nice little collection of them.I didnt just want to keep them in a pencil case or draw and constantly root for the colours i needed.So here is were my lovely Hubby came up trumps.
Out of some off cuts of wood and a flat piece of metal this is what he made me.

Layered up

Thought this card was something different to the usual mans cards i normally send
Its an 8 x 8 card with a flap on the front.The image is off a CD by Jayne Netley Mayhew.I printed the image off several times and layered it up on the flap so that it all matched up with the main image

Side Step

This is the first time i have made one of these cards.I really like the Shape and style.
So this is my entry for Dotties Challenge,which is to made a card with a twist,not the usual square or oblong card.The images are from there downloads which can be bought from Charmed Cards and crafts

For a friend

I made this card for a friend who's birthday is on Tuesday.She doesnt craft so there will be no chance of her seeing this before the day..lol
I noticed on the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge the theme is 3D,brilliant,i can enter this as the butterfly and flowers are layered up.
The butterfly is a medallion stamp that comes in two sizes.i stamped them on to blue card and glittered them up.
The flowers are all cut out of parchment, heavily embossed then layered up and i added a little pearl to finish them off

Bear

I came across Stamptacular challenge whilst i was on a blog hop.There challenge was to include a Bear.So out came one of my Gruffie bear stamps and this is what i have entered.

So Blue

Morning all
Will we ever get any decent sunshine.
Over on Dotties world they are keeping romance alive with there latest challengne.I think we could all do with a bit of that..lol
So i had a play last night and this is what i came up with for the challenge.The sentiment is computer generated,the backing papers were out of my stash along with the flower.The image can be bought from Charmed cards and crafts

Christmas in August

Is the challenge over on our Creative Corner.All these Christmas challenges are helping me make a great start on the cards i have to do

I stamped this image and embossed it with black.The background was put though the cuttle bugged with the snowflake folder

Merry Christmas

Challenge time again on Funky Fairy's.This week it's Christmas
The two blue snow flake papers are from one of the Christmas kits that can be bought in the Funky Fairy's shop.
Can not for the life of me remember where the image came from

CHRISTMAS

Well it seem to be creeping up on us fast.So i thought i would make a start on family members cards
This is a pergamano pattern,paint with inks and pintura paint.A little bit of grid work and the lantern is a 3D element

Rose

Got an order for a ruby wedding anniversary and also made use of it for a blogg challenge over on
the one stop craft challenge.All hand paint on parchment and embossed..

Alter it!!!!!!!

I really don't do altered art,it just doesn't do anything for me when i do it myself.Other peoples always looks so professional .Any way one of the girls over on the Hobbycrafters forum set this for the challenge.This is an empty prima flower tube.Paper is from MCS CD the lace and other embellishments are from my stash

Monochromatic

Hello Ladies,
Came across a challenge on Dotties world that pricked my interest.I have never done monochromatic before and i might of taken it a little bit too literally.But here goes.
The image is from the pixie chicks which can be found in Charmed cards and crafts.Coloured the image with copics which i am just getting to grips with.Backing paper,card and flowers are from my stash and the sentiment is computer generated.

So what do you think of the new Siggy.
Its taken me most of the day and a pack of paracetamol's,,lol
