Another too late for the challenge

This card is based around the sketch and stash challenge sketch but although I had it made intime it didn't get entered.

Base card is Craftwork Cards as is card I have stamped the image on, papers are all Basic Gey Gipsy,think you need a bit of brightness sometimes. Image is Lili of the Valley coloured with Promarkers and brads are Making Memories.

Thank you for looking

A bit last minute

So about 3.30 on Tuesday he comes up to me and says, I keep forgetting to ask so I'm in trouble with the other half but can you make a card for Jades birthday. Ah, you'll need that for tomorrow then says I,and I couldn't refuse because I had made a card for the other 16 year old in the family, so I put aside the tiredness and got my head around a fairly non girly card at around 9pm and this is the result.

I've used an 8x8 elegant card from Craftwork Cards along with some of their paper. I have stamped onto the base card with some stamps from the same Kanban set that the tree is from in Peacock Brilliance ink. Tied a bit of ribbon round which I had hanging around and added a Little Claire sentiment.

December already

I am really behind with my Christmas this year. I made 5 cards of this design on Sunday which brought me up to a total of 19 made so I had better get my finger out for the other 25 or so people who I want to send a handmade card to. The rest will have a bought one this year I am afraid.

This Penny Black Image belongs to one of my friends at craft group, I'm pretty sure it is Ginettes but apologies if it isn't and I have offended anyone. I coloured it in with Promarkers then followed the PBSC sketch from last week which I loved but never had time to play with.

Papers are by Dovecraft. card from my collection has been embossed with a cuttlebug folder and the snowflakes are from a sizzlit and an X cut punch cut from some glitter paper which I found in my glitter and mirri box.

The sentiment is by Hero Arts and the base card is by Craftwork Cards. The red card was bought at the november show at the NEC around 8 years ago from the Scrapbook House.!

Thank you for looking and for your comments, I'll try not to leave it so long next time.

Edited to add: Apologies and grovels Carole, but on the plus side it's not too far away when I need to borrow it again ha ha!

Card for my father in law

It's my father in laws birthday today and here is his card. It's quite simple but for some reason took a bit of thinking about.

The base card which you can't see is a turquoisy blue colour and I've matted another piece of patterned card picked up at Kanban on top then a bit of Formula One decoupage, I tend to alternate between Formula One and Rugby League for my fil.

The dad was cut out (using some plasma letters which I had from Craftwork Cards some time ago ) from some metallic textured card which also came from Craftwork Cards a while ago. I coloured the letters with an Aegean Promaker.

The whole thing is finished of with cards candy and a Craftwork cards sentiment. So a real Made in Yorkshire card

Very purple

Here's a card I made for a birthday a week ago, it was very much to the wire as I had little or no mojo at the time.

The stamp is by Little Claire coloured in with Promarkers, patterned paper is Basic Grey Kioshi and the other paper I picked up at Once Upon a Stamp, I've overstamped it with a stamp from the Aspects of Design Fancy Flourishes set. Matt has been punched with a Martha Stewart punch. Ribbon flowers and brads are all from my collection and the base card is a Craftwork Cards back to basics and the sentiment is Craftwork Cards rescue words.

Card for a music fan

Well it's been nearly a month since I last posted and to be honest I've not done much but a couple of cards from a few weeks ago and a couple I've made today should fill a few days nicely.

Todays card is one I made for a colleague at work.

I've used some card and a topper which I picked up at the kanban sale day that we ent to, the orange dotty is some Crate Paper, the music was picked up at the GNPE in September and coloured with som distress ink.

The base card, card candy and brown matting card are from Craftwork Cards and the sentiment is by Woodware

Thank you as always for looking

Another stickeroo

I made this card from the bits that were still out from the Saturday Challenge card and used the sketch from a few weeks ago that I never got time to play with at the time.
So all the details are pretty much as before except that the overstamping is with Judikins Mince Flourish on this one and I have had the flowers for so long that I can't remember where they came from.

Thank you as always for looking and for your lovely comments
