Chocolate - is the answer to everything!

Hello - I love the Edna stamps and the curves and attitude of this lady!! I made this card for my Mums Birthday as we all love chocolate in our family and she is great fun to colour up. I tried to make the wings look translucent and added a little Wink of Stella to give them a sheen.

I hope you like her - I know my Mum chuckled at her Edna card.
All for now,

Happy Fathers day

Happy Fathers Day!

Good Afternoon (Only just missed Morning!) I have been busy this morning packing jars and glasses into boxes from the Kitchen in preparation for losing my kitchen shortly when the extension gets knocked through... dreading it!! But I do still have my craft room (for now at least...) So as its Fathers Day - here is the card I've made for my Dad using Worlds Best Dad from Dr Digi. And he does love his tea - as do I. In fact its been at least 30 mins since my last cuppa so I better go and get the kettle on! 

I used a kraft base and covered it with patterend paper from American Crafts Amy Tangerine cut and paste paper pad. I coloured Dad with copics and stuck him down with 3d foam. I then added some scattered around.I hope you like him - he's no too fussy and fairly simple - Perfect for my Dad Ha!!

Have a lovely day,

Stamping Bella Christmas labels.

This is the final post of christmas cards... I think anyway! These are two cards I made with Uptown girls Chrystal's christmas label from Stamping Bella. 

The first card I made for a cousin who we always give Money too rather than buy presents so the gold tag has a little pocket at the bottom to slip notes into. I used a sizzix die to cut the tag and fussy cut around the image.

I created the pocket by sticking some Doodlebug paper on the diagonal and then attached the image to the top. The red snowflake paper and the Holly paper below are also from Doodlebug North Pole collection. I used some green ribbon and tied the snowflake button to it and then used Doodlebug letters to personalise the card with the name "Gemma".

On both cards I used Star dust stickles on the fluffy bits of her dress and hat. I also used a white gel pen to add reflection to the candy cane and also gold pen on her belt and the little bow. On this card I added some red ric rac ribbon and a holly die cut with some red gems for the berries.

I used the same promarkers and flexmarkers on both cards -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft peach, Coral & Spice with Baby pink cheeks.
Dress - Poppy, Ruby & Cardinal Red.
Hair - Buttercup, Pineapple Crush, Sleigh Bells & Raw Sienna.
Belt - Ice Grey 3, 4 & 5
Powder Blue shading.

Right - few birthday cards for you catch up on but Ill not overload you at once! Don't want you getting bored of me!!
Take Care,
