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.

Stamping Bella Andy & Nikki's Wedding.

I made this card recently for a special Wedding we were invited to.

The image is a stamp from Stamping Bella called Uptown couple Brett & Brenda get married. I cut around the image and used 3d foam to attach them to the card. I covered the base card with paper from Tilda Flower Garden. I used a little stripe of pale lace ribbon and added the wooden Wycinikca hearts which I filled with Diamond stickles.  The card was personalised using letters and numbers from My Minds Eye and I added a wooden LOVE.  I used Wink Of Stella in white on the dress to make it sparkle along with more Stickles.

I used these promarkers & flexamarkers to colour the image -
Skin -  Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral & spice.
Dress - Blossom & Baby pink.
Hair -  Cinnamon, Pineapple crush & Sandstone. .
Suit - Warm Greys
Flowers - leaf green, Poppy, Burgundy & Baby Pink .

Sarah's Wedding

Evening  - Im goosed today... not sure why really?!? Maybe Hayfever tablets - honestly we get some nice weather and it ruins me!!
So this card I made for the New Challenge which has just started over at the  All Dressed Up challenge Blog  and I have used the image called To Have and too hold.  This image is available from the Etsy shop - All Dressed Up Stamps
I made this card for my lovely friend at work who is currently sunning herself with her new husband on her Honeymoon. 

The background paper with gold flags is from American Crafts which I mounted onto Green satin base card. I made a panel using paper from My Minds eye called Fancy That. The wooden flags are from Scrapiniec Chipboard and I used the wooden hearts from Wycinanka and I filled these with Diamond stickles glue which I also used to add some sparkle on the wedding dress. The gold letters are from American Thickers  Dear Lizzy. Finally I added the ribbon around the base card and tied it in a  nice knot rather than a bow.

I used these promarkers & Flexmarkers -
Skin - Antique white, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.
Dress & Waistcoat - Pastel green & Honeydew with Peach and Rose Peach.
Suit - Warm greys
Hair - Pineapple Crush, Buttercup & Sleigh Bells. Sandstone, Cinnamon & Raw Sienna.

Our First Wedding Anniversary.

Wow - that year has flown! Today is our first Wedding Anniversary. So today's card is one I made for my Husband (still weird saying that!) to celebrate. First Wedding gifts are traditionally paper so that's an easy one for any crafter... Just give us a paper pad and we are happy as larry. (Who was Larry??) This is actually Morris and Mildred or is this the future for us... Ben would have to shrink from his 6ft5 and would have to put on a little weight!!

The card is made with a background from Doodlebug Sweethearts paper. I coloured and cut around Morris and Mildred and glued them on to the card. I used a fine black liner pen and drew the broken line around the paper panel. I die cut a little heart using Spellbinders nestibilities die and added the wooded button with some red twine. I attached a strip of pale blue lace from Papermania and added the extra words and numbers with Doodlebug letters. Finally I added some pearl hearts from Hobbycraft.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - usual
Morris' suit - Warm Greys
hair - Cool Greys
Dress - Pink Mittens,
Flowers and waist coat - Carmine, Vermillion & Poppy.
Leaf green and Lush green leaves
Powder blue eyes.


Ben got me these lovely flowers which are a bouquet full of different Peonies. They are my favourite and we had Peonies for our wedding flowers.

So that's all for me now so I will be back soon with some inspiration from All Dressed up.
Have a great day,

Stacey & Barrys Wedding.

I have been sorting through my photos and found this card that I forgot to show you. I made this for my Friend Stacey who had a beautiful wedding in Sandbanks, Poole which we had the pleasure of attending.
Stacey and I have been friends for years and her new hubby Barry is just lovely! Stacey loves pink so I was certain the wedding would have a pink theme and made them this card (There wasn't actually any pink to be seen  - it was a lovely cream and neutral colour scheme.)
The image is from Stamping Bella and is called Uptown Couple Brett & Brenda get married and it is my "go to " image for weddings.

 

To make this card I covered the base card in a paper I have had for ages from KI Memories Soul Mates. I stamped the image and then trimmed the panel down to cut around her leg and dress. I added some lovely lace to the side and tied some thin pink sparkly twine around the edge. I spelt out the names using gold letters I got from Hobbycraft and added some diamond stickles to her dress for extra sparkle. I used Doodlebug numbers to add the wedding date and used gems to add detail.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.
Dress - Pink Mittens, Baby Pink, Cocktail & Magenta
Hair - Vanilla, Buttercup, Pineapple crush & sleigh bells.
Bouquet - Pear green & Moss green
Suit - Warm greys
His Hair - Caramel, Raw Sienna, Chestnut & Warm grey.

I'm really pleased with how this turned out and it is just perfect for Stacey!
Thanks for stopping by and reading my post -

Over the moon with All Dressed Up.

Hello - It's time for the first Challenge over at All Dressed Up since the rejigging of the Blog. You can use any image to enter this challenge - with only one rule... IT MUST BE AN ALL DRESSED UP IMAGE. This isn't hard as there are so many beautiful image on the etsy page here... 
But on the blog there are also some freebies - so there are no excuses for not joining in!!

My DT card is using an image called Over The Moon.
I actually made this card as it was a Cousins wedding and I just thought it lent itself perfectly for lots of gold and sparkle and so I could use my new paper from My Minds Eye called Yes Please.

I cut a panel of the paper and mounted it onto Black card. I die cut the image using a Nestibilities die and cut another also from the black.
I tied a ribbon across the top and tied this in a bow. I used Lawn Fawn big scripty words die to cut about six Congrats from black card and one from gold. I glued all these together - putting the gold one on top. I am really pleased with how it has come out! Finally I added a gold heart from Freckled Fawn. I coloured the moon using Cosmic Shimmer watercolours in Olympic gold but I tried to keep them quite thick rather than too wet. I also used a little gold pen to add detail to his outfit and some diamond stickles on her dress and Veil.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.
Hair - Burgundy, Henna & Chestnut.
Dress  - Powder blue, Satin & Linen
Flowers - Soft Green, Violet & Lilac
His Clothes - Warm greys 1 to 5

I love the way this has turned out! I love all things shimmery and gold!!

For your Wedding Day

Hello - Todays card is to show you one of the new digital image designs from All dressed up.
This image is called For your Wedding Day and you can buy the image by clicking on the link.
There are four new images in total - all on the wedding theme which is very apt for me and I have just finished making my Wedding invitations. Have a look at the All Dressed up Blog to see lots of inspiration.

For this card I coloured the image using promarkers and then die cut the image using a Spellbinders Nestibilities. I used the next size up to cut a mat from Gold mirri and mounted the image on it.
I used a similar shape base card and cut away the front half. I covered the remaining half with Crate paper called Kiss Kiss and edged this with gold foiled rose washi tape from Hobbycraft. The inside I covered with gold foiled spotty paper from My Minds Eye On trend 2. (I love this collection!)
Finally I used a white Wink of Stella brush pen over the shoes to make the shimmer gently but you can only really see this on the next photo!

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Outer shoe & leaves -  Honeydew & Mint Green
Inner Shoe - March Hare.

Weddings - others and ours...

Evening all - a Wedding card to show you that I actually made last week but couldn't show until after the wedding. I used this lovely Stamping Bella image which is romantic without being mushy! I have also been to a Wedding Fair this week to get ideas for Our wedding (which isn't till May 2016!)

The image is coloured with Promarkers and I also added a little Wink of Stella sparkle to the dress and glitter to the flowers.

I used Grace Taylor papers which I cut a heart from using Spellbinders. I set the digital image behind the heart on the coordinating paper. I added a matching ribbon and some Diamante swirls near to a resin bird.

I addeda greeting from Pebbles and personalised the card with Websters pages letters and numbers for the date. I addeda few more Diamante gems.
