Puppy Love & Izzy's Stroll

Morning Everyone,

I am so in love with this gorgeous couple called Puppy Love by Saturated Canary, aren't they just the cutest couple.

The papers are a mix using My Minds Eye Cupid Arrow and Magnolia 12x12 Peaceful, which incidentally is currently on sale at BunnyZoe for 60p a sheet so hurry whilst stocks last, love the pink and grey tones and I have created with this mix of papers.

I have coloured with Distress Markers and added some shabby pink frantage around the image.  This stamp can be used as I have or you could just stamp the boy or the girl separately.

I have used a few dies:-

Marianne Design Anja's Border LR0300   (for the shaped edge at the top of the card)

Marianne Design Swirls and Leaves 3 CR11245

Whimsy Eiffel Tower

The small pink roses are also by Marianne Design.

I have added a heart charm in the flower arrangement and some Marianne Design pearl flourishes to the butterfly on the left.

The black lace is by Kaisercraft available HERE.

I have a second card for you today and this one is not my usual style I'm afraid.  When I made this card for CHA last month I was struggling with RSI in my arm, so it was really painful but as it was for CHA it needed to be done, so I'm sorry my colouring isn't up to its usual standard.

The image is the new release by Candibean called Izzy's Stroll and is available from  Little Darlings Rubber Stamps.  I have also used the Petals and Lace  6x6 paper pad also available from Little Darlings.

The sentiment is from the new release also, it comes in a set and is called Vintage Affections Vintage Birthday.

Copic Markers:-

V17, V15, V12, V00

YG67, YG63, G99, G20

E00, E000, E11, R20

C5, C3, C1, C00

E25, E31, E50

A Moment in Time

Morning Everyone,

Monday again.... work again grrrrrrr, boring but I do look forward to my Monday LLC post and as It's Monday it's a new theme for us girlies at Live and Love Crafts and this week it is "A moment in time". Immediately of course vintage springs to mind and for me using an old image and the new Pion A Day in May Papers were just perfect for this project.  The image is from Grandma's Attic Love sheet, all links at the bottom as usual.

With the word TIME in the theme title I thought it was pretty apt to add the prima resin grandfather clock.  I added a touch of vintage photo distress ink and added a bouquet of flowers consisting of hortensia's, forgot I had these oops....., frosted berries, flower spray in cream, hip rose buds in ivory and a wild rose.  Underneath the bouquet you can see the film strip poking through, love this embellishment.

Over on the right hand side I have added a hinge clip to the paper, a small matching bouquet and one of the new graphic 45 butterflies with a teardrop pearl centre.  Just down from the butterfly cascades a pearl string in ivory.

You will also notice the little tap with TIME coming out of the spout, again another apt embellishment.

Oops, in this one you can see the resin corner I added with again a touch of vintage photo accenting the detail.

I have made sure you can see the beautiful fleurie scallop lace, isn't it beautiful.

Hearts at BunnyZoe

Morning Everyone,

It's challenge time at BunnyZoe and with a theme of Hearts and I must admit I have had to make a note for myself to check the theme before using up all my images.... ummmmmm.  So you can see I have a little girl on a bike, she's called Patties Posies and there is a link at the bottom as usual to BunnyZoe where you will find her in the High Hopes stamp section.  My mojo went on a walkabout so I have struggled with this card and in colouring in particular, it's like I forgot.  This was actually my 4th attempt and I have to admit that I have never thrown away an image until now..... yep, mojo had seriously done one.

Anyway this is the result.  The papers are by My Minds Eye called Cupids Arrow so the back sheet does have hearts on it.  I have also added a heart charm and the lovely fence has little hearts on, so I'm covered, lol.

I'll be back later with another card, yep two today, woo hooo.

Eva and Some Exciting News to Share

Morning,

I thought it was time to share with you another card that I made for CHA.  This little lady is called Eva by Saturated Canary available from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps HERE.  The sentiment is also from the recent CHA release and is from the Vintage Affections Everyday Release 1 set. Love these sets.

The papers are also by LDRS called Petals and Lace.

I have used several dies, yeah I know I'm addicted, lol.  These are all Noor Design Dies:-

Oval Frame

Butterfly Border

Vintage Flourish Butterflies

Vintage Birdcage and Bird

If you live in the UK these are all available from Craftsulove.

The flowers are all available from The Ribbon Girl with the exception of the lilac poppy and 20mm rose which are available from Live and Love Crafts.  I have also used cheese cloth, vintage seam binding and gesso, all available from LLC.

Now seeing as I have used so many Noor Design Dies it would be a good time to share with you some exciting news......................... the gorgeous Jolanda from Noor Design asked me to make two cards to appear in her new magazine which has just come out, eeeeeeeek, of course I jumped at the chance and the magazine is now available from HERE.  Lots of inspiration with all the Noor Design Dies inside and of course meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, lol.

Have a good week everyone.

Tres Chic

Morning Everyone and a very special welcome to my newest followers,

Today is my DT card for LLC and the theme we are following this week at LLC is Tres Chic.  I have chosen a magnolia image and thought she looked pretty cool and imagined her walking through the streets of Paris with a little trendy handbag dog, who is a lot like my dog who doesn't like to heel but lead the way, lol.

The papers are from MayaDesign Autumn Basics No. IX, distressed with walnut stain and white gesso.  The base of the card was cut using the new February Release Marianne Design Die Anja'a Border and the shape of the top was also cut from the same die set.  

I have used some of the new lace Euphoria shabby rose pearl organza.

You can see from the below picture an array of flowers, roses of different sizes, foam flower buds and  carnation.  I have placed another pen nib to the centre of the butterfly and a prima resin corner  which you can just about see in the picture.  The leaves were cut from Marianne Designs Swirls and Leaves 3 die.

Did you notice the new Graphic 45 metal butterfly.  I distressed it with a little coloured alcohol ink, I used  denim and I think teal, and a little gesso around the edge and finished off with a Vintage Findings Vintage Teardrop pearl centre.

I added at tag positioned in a Melissa Frances Pink Vellum Envelope. The tag was finished with vintage seam binding and I added a small mirror charm one of the new idea-ology pearl bauble.

 I'll be back soon with some candy.
