Gorjuss Girl

Here is another Gorjuss girl card made with the stamped images a dear friends stamped for me. Well i have to say i like this card, not often i give self praise lol.. The black and the aqua i think are a lovely combo, in fact i am loving using black as a background colour.The yummy paper is K&Co from Cuddly Buddly, as are the little gems on the flowers.I have also given my promarkers a little rest, out have come the prisma pencils for this card, i do like the effect they give.

The flowers have been made with EK retro punches and woodware leaf punch.

Gorjuss Friends

I would like to say thank you to two 'Gorjuss girls' who have this week been very kind and sent me some stamped images to play with, won't mention names but you know who you are :) I call it try before you buy as i am sorry some if these and the cute Magnolia's will find there way into my crafty stash soon :)
I have coloured with PM's as usual. The flowers are made with the EK retro punches, a little bit of white detailing around the edge of the flower. The leaves are punched with woodware punch, corner details is Cuttlebug die. Design paper is for DCWV paper pack, have used all the purple now so in need of more purple DP (Ohh what shall i get??)
The wooden easel is from BM's , a real bargain at under £2!!!

In The Garden

Yet another CB card lol... This was made with a combination of downloads and stamps. The papers are patchwork papers green, i have used my nesties to cut the shape of the card. The flowers where all stamped and coloured then cut out.
The weather this weekend has been fab so haven't made many cards but am hoping to get on with some challenges.

Sunny Days

This is a shadow card i made with Cuddly Buddly graphics and stamps. It what is called a 'shadow card', i followed a very good tutorial on Splitcoast stampers changing the dimensions slightly. The stamp is Bikini bear, she is coloured with Promarkers and added to the scenery made with the 'sunny days' and 'Patchwork blue' downloads from CB. I wanted to create the feeling of a warm summers day strolling along the beach, i just love the little crab the way he is jumping put of the water lol.. The wavy greeting stamps is Seven sentiments.

Baa Baa sheep

I made this cared for one of my colleagues at work who loves sheep! Luckily i had this in my collection of stamped images, some kind person must of sent it to me as i don't have this stamp.
I have used SU! papers and ribbon, all beautifully colour match. The sheep was coloured with Promarker's some glitter added here and there. Was a very quick card to make as you can see lol..
Ohhh my new Rubber Romance stamps have arrived today :) so watch this space . I hope you all had a great Easter, that's it for Bank Holidays until May day.

Chocolate and Marshmallow

Here comes that stamp again lol.. I hope my other ones don't take to long to arrive or i will of worn this one out. I have followed the challenge on 'Cute Card Thursday' which was Chocolate and marshmallow, i have used chocolate honestly it just looks more like black in the photo. The EK retro punch has been used yet again, well gotta get your monies worth.. The pink patterned paper is from a stack i got last year at the NEC, forgot all about it if i am honest.

I have made this card for my MILs birthday tomorrow, i hope she likes it! Its been a while since i have done any decoupage, forgot how fiddly it is lol.. I can't remember the name of this decoupage which is a shame as i think its quiet cute, i am sure someone will know.
The papers i have used are HOTP and a forgot i had these lovely papers, they where stashed away in my crafts room upstairs. I have used my MS doily punch and the flowers are made with a quickutz die and retro punch, little leaves are from a woodware punch, little bit of bling added into the middle. The greeting was done on on puter :)

Soldier Bear

This is another Cuddly Buddly card, the image is stamped out and coloured with Promarkers. The papers are downloads from Cuddly Buddly from the 'Local lads' collection, all papers print out in fabulous colour. Have drawn some stitching around the edges of the paper and card, star is a quickutz die.
