Hanglar Mother's Day Card

I made this card today with some of the crafting goodies I recieved for christmas (Believe me I got lots). The image is by Hanglar and was sent to me by my wonderful friend Nikki (Thanks Hun).
I coloured the image using copic markers. The papers are from the Basic Grey 'Stella Ruby' collection. I used Bazzill cardstock for matting and layering and sewed around the outer edges with my sewing machine. The flowers are Prima Hydrangea's and I added some stickle glitter to the outer edges for a bit of bling. The small button is by Doodlebug. The sentiment is by Woodware and is matted onto a scallop and circle that were cut from a punch. I added some holes to the scallop using a Japanese screw punch.
Hope you all had a great Christmas.

Christmas Clock

I decided to make another Christmas clock today (my last one got damaged). I used 2 large chipboard snowflakes which are sandwiched together. The chipboard numbers are painted with an Adirondack Acrylic Dabberin gold and then I applied some Anita's 3-D clear gloss. The papers are from the 'Plum Pudding' Collection. The snowflakes were already pre-cut. I used a small bauble attatched to the minute hand. All materials were purchased from Craftwork Cards.
Now going to do some last minute Christmas shopping (think ive gone mad).
Hope your having a good day.

Hanglar Meets High School Musical

I was asked by my friend at university if i could make a card for her 8year old daughters birthday. I was told she is not a girly girl but loves High School Musical. Here is the card I made.
I used a Hanglar image that was sent to me by
Heidi (Thanks Heidi). I coloured the image with my new copics (bought for me as an early birthday present from my wonderful hubby). The paper is gift wrapping paper from Clintons. I made a 6x6 card but sealed it to make it look like a record sleeve. I used a stardust stickle to add some sparkle around the coloured card.I covered a blank CD with black Bazzill card and cut a smaller circle for the inner part. I used black stickles around the outer edge. The stampin the middle is by Catslife press. The sentiment was created on my computer.

Tilda in Dalecarlia coat

I adore this little Magnolia 'Tilda in Dalecarlia Coat' and will use her for making cards after christmas. I used distress inks to colour her. I have never used this technique before so I thought I would 'give it a go ! (I think I applied it too thick and perhaps should have shaded more) But I will definately try again. The papers are Imaginisce 'Snowy Jo'. I used Bazzill basics card for matting and layering. To embellish my card I used a Prima flower and leaves which were in a bauble, and some red 'merry christmas' organza. The sentiment is by Magnolia. This morning I sewed around part of the card on my new sewing machine. It was really strange sewing on card but I will use more sewing on my cards as the effect looks great.
Have a great Sunday

Dads Birthday Cheer

Im making the most of my spare time off work at the moment so I decided to make a card for my dad who will be celebrating his birthday next week (I modelled Edwin on my dad !).

The papers are from the Basic Grey 'Ambrosia' Collection. The organza ribbon I purchased from my local Hobbycraft store. The letter stickers are mini shimmer alpha's by Making Memories.
