Little Miss Paddy

Hi Everyone
Hope you are all well.


I have made this card using one of my favourite stamps by Lili of the Valley and used my promarkers to colour her in.  I think she is so cute and so typical of many little girls, (never the right present - I wonder what she really wanted)
I cut a base for the flower and flourishes using Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles into foam, it's the first time I have cut foam with my dies and I am really pleased with the result, so shall do it again.
The flower and flourishes are from Spellbinders Positively Me set. The papers are from The Oxford Collection by Kanban, just added gems, peeloff corners and bow.
I am going to enter it into the contest that  Passion for Promarkers are doing. Contest 199

Go an have a look at  the prizes they are offering, hurry as it finishes Monday night.

Have a good weekend, never mind the weather, I am staying at home for the holiday and then  going to Shropshire and Merseyside next week for a few days.
Take care

Envelope on a Card

 
Hi
I have  made this card for a friends Birthday.  I just wanted to make her a card with a difference.
I made the envelope and added the 2 white rose sprays and bow. I cut a glitter doily in half and put
it into the envelope.  I am sure she would have preferred some money but the doily will have to do LOL!!!  I enjoyed doing it and will make it again and probably incorporate some stitching. I have a
few ideas in the old brain box and will get round to it sometime.
 
Yep!!  another round2it  haha!!
Thanks for looking in

Fairy with Flowers

I have coloured this lovely fairy image with my Promarkers. The stamp is from Sleek Designs, I have used Glamourdust glitter on the wings after colouring them with the lovely pastels in the Flexmarker range. The colours are so soft, I love them. 
I used part of Spellbinders die A2 Floral Ribbon Threader to cut out the card, and mounted it on paper from Forever Friends Kraft Notes stack, all fixed to the silver mesh I found in my stash, added the buttons, butterflies and flowers, also from my stash.

I am wanting to put this in the challenge by Passion for Promarkers - Button it up

Thank you for looking

Easter Card and a Birthday Card

Hi Everyone
I have made this Easter Card, I don't normally make easter  cards but I fell in love with this pattern by Anns Paper Arts, number a735.  She has 4 patterns on her site that can be downloaded, all with easter theme, they are gorgeous patterns and now I am going to surprise people by sending them Easter Cards.  They will certainly be surprised, and so will I when they begin to expect them every year LOL!!!.

The other card I have been playing with lovely Spellbinders dies. The little flowers are the poppies from Spellbinders D-lites and I coloured them yellow for a change.

Birthday Cards

Hi
As I said in previous post, here are a couple of cards I have made today.  My dear hubby has been a bit under the weather again today so I went and locked myself away playing with card, in between doing my nursing chores.
The blue card with kite is for one of my many little grandsons, he has a birthday next week and loves kites, although he's now at the age where he will be more interested in what is inside it than the card haha!!  They do love their pennies don't they. The kite pattern is from Anns Paper Arts pattern number a701
The other card is from an idea I saw in a magazine, as I love quilting I couldn't resist this one. A friend recently gave me the haberdashery dies, so I picked a few bits and pieces from the set and cut out using foiled card in a lovely dark pink, when I was making it I had it in mind for a lady at one of the clubs, it took ages to make, cutting out all the hexagons and fiddling around with it, I am not sure if I am going to part with it yet LOL!!    I will see if I can resist the urge to keep it.

 
 
Well that's all for now, hope you are all OK
Take care, and thanks for looking
