Penny Black Saturday week 103

The challenge over at Penny Black Saturday this week is In the Garden. I'd a few stamps to choose from but settled on this trailing clematis image from the flowers and wishes set. I stamped it out 4 times and used the extra set to 3d the flowers on the centre panel. The sentiment is from the Critter Party set.

The papers are by My Minds Eye from the Quite Contrary range, I thought the leaves on the green one fitted the challenge theme well.

Punch for the edging is by Fiskars and brads are from my collection.

Thanks for looking

Penny Black Saturday 102

The challenge at Penny Black Saturday this week is lots of dots so I hope that my dotty paper, brads and ribbon meet the brief. I also found this stickeroo with dots on the parcel for the Penny Black image.

So base card is Craftwork Cards, Papers are Basic Grey Blush collection (an oldie but a goodie), dotty and letter brads are all Queen & co and ribbon is American Crafts. Papers have been edged with Pearlescent Poppy Brilliance ink to pull it all together.

Thank you for looking

Sketch and stash take 2

Here's another card from the sketch and stash sketch. I coloured this owl oval in when I coloured the other oval in and as I liked the sketch thought I'd use it again.
Papers on this ones are Craftwork Cards Richie and Susie which I have inked around the edge with Graphite Black Briliiance Ink. Pink band of card is Bazzill, everything else is from my collection.
Only one piece of ribbon on this one, I wouldn't want to run out

Penny Black Saturday week 101

The Challenge over at Penny Black Saturday this week is flowers.

I have stamped Whispers onto Craftwork Cards Back to Basics card and paper pieced the image with Bloom and Grow Papers by My Minds Eye. Backgound paper is from the same range but has been overstamped around the edges with a flourish stamp, and the dotty vellum is also from Craftwork Cards as is the base card. Ribbon is from my collection, I think it might be Bo Bunny but I'm not 100% sure.

Thank you for looking

Same stamp

Here's a card using the same stamp as yesterday. I made this a little while ago and hadn't posted it so thought that I would share.

Papers are by Craftwork cards, I have overstamped them with one of their stamps in blue and also used this stamp around the image to pull it all together.

3 pieces of lace/ribbon and the flowers are Prima and some from my stash which have been coloured with promarkers.

Card for a mate

Here's a card I made last night for my friend to give to his colleague, or as he refers to her, his 'work wife'. I'd directed him to this blog and he liked the easel card from the Francoise class and this Sarah Kay stamp which I had used on another card so I have combined the two along with some My Minds Eye papers which were freebies in a mag and a few Prima flowers and sparklies.

I will now send him an e mail so that he can give it the once over.

Card lift

I've not made much recently so nothing much to show.

Here's one I made yesterday design is copied from one in the February issue of Craft Stamper, I have changed the colours and the greeting. The main image has been glittered but not sure how well that shows up.

Base card Craftwork Cards coloured with Adirondack ink Pool, the coloured card is liberty sunday coredinations. Stamps are all by Kay Carley for The Stamp Man, brads are Doodlebug Tuxedo, they are sparkly too. Image has been coloured in with chalk pencils.

Scrapbook Sunday

Went for my usual look at the Penny Black Saturday challenge yesterday and was thrilled to see that my friend Kath was this weeks winner.

Here's another layout featuring some online scrapping friends when we me up a while ago for a great long weekend up near York.

Papers are Basic Grey Phoebe, felt is Queen and Co, title is American Crafts Thickers.

Well I ended up giving the card I was going to show today and then forgetting to scan it as when I wanted to scan it the scanner was playing up. So anyway here is a card I made back in February for my friends teenage daughter.

Image is Penny Black, papers are Sandylion, base card is craftwork cards other bits are from my collection.

Thank you for looking

1 card 3 ribbons ...............

....Well technically one is a piece of lace but we won't split hairs about it.

This is the card I made for my mother in law for mothers day, I finished it just as they arrived here for their tea the day before, talk about close to the wire.

The stamp is another from the funky frames set by Kay Carley produced by The Stamp Man and is coloured with H2Os onto watercolour card, papers, base card, greetings and pink ribbon are all Craftwork Cards, brads and other lace and ribbon are from my stash.

Quick and Easy

Here's a quick card I made for an old friend of mine who had a birthday back in February.

Arrow is maya road chipboard painted with acrylic dauber in pool, paper is crate, buttons and ribbon are from my stash, base card is craftwork cards.

Inspiration

This card is another inspired by the Kay Carley DVDs, stamps are from the Penny Black salutations set stamps with memento, papers are Katrin by Crate and there's more of that dotty organza ribbon along with a few Swarowski crystals. Cardstock is by Craftwork Cards.

Thought I didn't have anything new in the my pictures folder to post and then I remembered that I had uploaded the photos from my camera, they just needed cropping a bit.

So here's the card which I sent to my niece at the beginning of February.

Image is Funky Frames designed by Kay Carley coloured in with chalk pencils and set with chalk enhancer which had been languishing in the drawer unused for far too long, a little bit like the Crate Paper - Katrin which was used to embellish the rest of the card which pretty much as is usual came from Craftwork Cards
