Challenge

This week on Lili of the Valley challenge site we were told.....

We would like to see your creations for MEN.

This card uses a stamp from Lili of the Valley, Oliver-text.

I've coloured it with watercolour pencils and waterbrush. The backing papers and tag are from HOTP citrus block and the ribbon is from Hobbycraft. The sentiment is a peel-off.

Get Well Card

I heard through the Stamping Mad forum this morning that a friend is not feeling too well so I decided to send this card I made yesterday.

The image is one which was very kindly sent to me a few months ago by Lynn from the forum.

I cut around it and coloured it by taking colour straight from a pencil using a waterbrush. It was layered onto an oval of card from a sample of soft lime paint by Crown paints. I gave the wings a touch of glitter glue applied with a brush.

Down one side I used a strip of Chloe Awning paper in lilac and greens from K & Co onto which I added a couple of fabric flowers held together with small brads.

A simple peel-off greeting finished the card.



I went down to the post box at lunchtime so hopefully with a first class stamp it should arrive tomorrow.

1st Birthday Card

Today I decided to make a 1st birthday card for my niece's daughter, even though her birthday isn't for another month.

I used a Paper Nation rubber stamp - Toddler Bowl - and stamped it in brown Stazon so that it could be coloured using watercolour pencils and a waterbrush.

I cut the image out and layered it onto a square of purple glitter card. This I layered onto a part sheet of a 'girlie' paper from Dovecraft Designer papers. I used a leftover strip along the bottom of the A5 card and finished it all of with a silver peel-off greeting and number.
