Love is in the air.

Afternoon -
I'm back again today as it is New Release day over at All Dressed Up Stamps and I got to play with this image called Wedding Balloon. The version of this in the shop has a veil on the bride also. But I thought it would make a perfect anniversary card as Ben proposed to me in a Hot Air Balloon (Despite him being afraid of heights!!) so Wendy was happy for me to use it without the veil. I would always recommend asking the designer / artist before you alter an image though as it could be a copyright issue.

The image was coloured with copics and I used a die to create the cloud edge and attached both pieces to acetate and glued blue stripped My Favourite things paper behind.

You can see the other new releases over at the All Dressed Up Challenge blog or at the All dressed up Facebook group.  And please share your creations with us! We love to see what everyone is making with these lovely images.

Dad's New Car.

Morning- Happy Mothers Day...
Now you may be wondering why I'm not showing you a card suitable for this special day in our calender... well basically cos the Mothers haven't has the cards yet so instead I am showing you the card I made for the Father in Laws Birthday yesterday!

I used a My Favourite things stitched edge die and some stripy paper from MFT Hearts and Stripes Just Delightful paper. I added some glitter stickers from Hobbycraft and a Happy Birthday disk from Craftworks cards.

I used these copics to colour the image -
Wheels - Black & C7
Wheelchair - R29, R46, R59
Cardigan - Y15, YR23, Y28 & Y11
Seat & Patches -E47 & E35
Slippers - B000 , B00 & B02 with B97
Pants - C7, C5 & C3

Casual Boy in Blue

Good Morning - we have a new challenge starting today on the challenge blog at The Paper Shelter. 
The theme is shades of blue so I used this gorgeous image called Casual Boy

I coloured him with my new copics (EEEKKK!!) and kept the colour scheme restricted. I used  the My Favourite things dies stitched wonky rectangle to cut the pattern paper panel from My Favourite things paper, just delightful hearts & stripes collection. I also used this paper to cut the greeting with a Lawn fawn Big scripty words die. The gold tag is from Hobby craft and I mounted the panel on gold also to tie it altogether. Finally I added the three blue star stikcers.

I hope you like him!!
