Mothers day Cards


Sorry the light is a bit dodgy on this photos but I really wanted to show up the sparkle so had to use the lamp. I LOVE the Doodlebug glitter used on her tail. It is made up of tiny little discs so is perfect for scales! The image is from Tiddly Inks -This is the first time I've coloured her up but will defo be using her much more often! I've also been using my Silhouette Cameo... the background is a digital cut wave pattern and so is the seaweed boarder. I've added a load of gems and some foam Thickers letters.

This is SOG Super Mae - I made this for a young teenage boy to give to his mum for Mothers Day. I used die-namics City scape and the hearts background. Both images were coloured with Promarkers and the greeting was created with letters from Doodlebug.


This card uses my latest Stamping Bella Uptown girl stamp coloured (as always ) with my Promarkers. I added a couple of Prima flowers but kept it fairly simple as the background is so busy. I cut the frame and letters using the Silhouette - I'm getting the hang of the machine now.


This was the card I made for my Mum - we have a pooch like this called Bertie. 
I used the Silhouette to cut this silhouette of the dog and used the letters I had cut from the other card to add on this one. I then just added a couple of gems. 

 I had to put a picture of him in too! This is him peering through some stair railings. He is a Cairn Terrier and has a lovely gentle nature.

Design Team call entries.

I entered some cards into a Design Team submission call for Some Odd Girl! I kind of slipped onto the send button! I didn't get picked and doubt I was even a consideration as some of the creations posted on the facebook page and blog are amazing... but got to be in it to win it - right?! I have lost nothing by trying as I am making cards with the Some Odd Girl images all the time anyway.
The cards below are two that  I submitted... What do you think? 

This one is a commission for a joint 30th birthday. They were having a Great Gatsby Themed party so I had lovely time researching on Pinterest. (Have you visited my Pinterest board?? I'm addicted to the whole site!)
I kept the colours to black, gold and pearls with an Art Deco feel. Once again the Die-namincs city scape was used. I used warm greys for the suit and natural colours like Satin and cappuccino to give Flapper Mae's dress a bit of shading. I then covered it entirely with glitter so it sparkles. I added some pearls for her necklace and headband and added a touch of soft green to the feather and eyes. Some swirly pearls and art deco corners finished the card. 
I'm going to enter this into the monthly challenge on SOG blog which is all about the gold. I'm getting a bit gung-ho now with entering contests!


This was the second entry using SOG Coy Kaylee. Happy was cut with a Die-namics die and Simple stories paper. I love these colours.
