Hanglar and Latte

Good morning, hope you are having a great week. I havent done much crafting this week as its half term and i have no time off. I managed to chill out last night and make a card.
The image is by Hanglar and coloured with Copic Markers. The papers are from the delicious DCWV 'Latte' Matstack. These papers are gorgeous and the quality is fab. I used an SU punch to make the scallop border. The ribbon is from Hobbycraft. The flowers are hydrangeas by Prima. I added a spacer and brad and then decorated the flower with some leaves cut from an L-Em punch. I have yet to add a sentiment as im not sure what occasion i will use this card for .





I also decorated the inside to co-ordinate with the front of the card, using the same papers.
Have a great day

Copics Workshop with Maddy and Rachel

I had a fabulous time yesterday at the copics workshop in Leeds with Maddy and Rachel. I met some wonderful new friends, and learnt how to colour and shade using copics. Maddy is a great teacher. Above are the images we coloured at various stages of colouring/shading.

We had a lovely lunch with a very large piece of chocolate cake ! The hints and tips were very helpful and I even met a superstar !

Yes you guessed it, Calvin the mouse was hiding amongst the crafting goodies. He is sooooo cute.

Here is my finished card i was very pleased with the finished result.

Thanks Maddy and Rachel I enjoyed every minute and it was lovely to meet you both.

Yet another Anya

Gosh I just had to ink up another Anya. These stamps are fab and great for teenage birthday cards. The Anya is coloured using Copic Markers. The papers are Basic Grey ' Marrakech and are very vibrant. I added a brad and spacer to the Prima flowers and then attached some chain and a little silver shoe charm. The birthday sentiment is by SU. Sorry its a short post but the 10hr shifts are taking their toll, it must be my age ha ha !
Hope you all have a great evening and thanks for stopping by.

Well I survived my 1st 10hr shift in the operating theatre and I have to say I loved it. My feet ache at the moment and feel like they dont belong to me, but I cant wait to get back tomorrow.

I also added a chain and a handbag charm. The sentiment is also by Magnolia. Well have a great evening Im off to soak my feet.

Anya Goes Shopping

My daughter Megan asked me to make a card for her best friend Amy. So we sat down with all my stamps and papers. One hour later she chose an Anya stamp, im glad really as these gorgeous girls have yet to see ink. The papers are 'Sweet Always' by SU. I mounted the paper on to some chocolate chip SU cardstock. Anya is coloured using copic markers. The grosgrain ribbon was bought at my local craft store along with the handbag charm. The flowers were cut from a Papershapers punch and I added a white Papermania adhesive pearl to the centres. The sentiment is by SU. This is the inside

I just love decorating the inside of my cards. It uses up all the scraps (that i would normally save and do nothing with !) and it makes it a little bit more special than opening up a blank card. Well have to go pack as we are going to Lincoln for the weekend.

Have a great weekend

Hope you all had a fantastic bank holiday. We didnt go anywhere so I took the oportunity to make a few cards. This card was made with a Magnolia stamp from the spring kit. She is coloured with Copic markers. The papers are MME ' Bloom and Grow. I love these papers they are so fresh and the colours are stunning. The large flower is from the MME diecut sheet. The sentiment is by SU. I added a chain and a watering can charm to the flower and a Papermania brad to the centre. I also decorated the inside with matching paper and flower.


The sentiment inside is also by Magnolia. Thankyou for looking. Have a great evening.

Tilda With Lots Of Puppies

Good morning and I hope your enjoying your weekend whatever your up to. This card was made for a friend who has just bought two adorable puppies. The stamp is Magnolia 'Tilda with Puppy' and I used a background stamp also by Magnolia. I stamped the image several times and cut out the extra puppies and coloured them in different shades of browns. The whole image is coloured with copic markers. The papers are from the Bo Bunny 'Sweetie Pie' collection. These papers are gorgeous and I love the pink/green combination. The flower is a Prima hydrangea and I added a spacer from Hobby House and a papermania brad. I added a puppy charm attached to a chain and jump ring that was purchased from Hobbycraft . The leaves were punched from a L-Em punch.

The sentiment is computer generated and the 'Puppy love' sentiment is mounted onto an oval cut from a SU oval punch. As I have been so inspired by many of you that decorate inside your cards I decided to give it a try and heres the result

I really enjoyed decorating the inside using all the scraps and will now decorate inside all the cards I make.

Have a great weekend

Hugs
