Xmas Cards for a friend

Hi All

You may remember I mentioned in a post a couple of days ago that a friend had asked me to make her quite a few Christmas cards,  Well here they are I made 22 in total for her, she wanted 10 with snow scenes and 10 traditional and one each for her 2 grandchildren.

These are the two cards for her grandchildren the first is a Polkadoodles image stamped and coloured with Copics and accented with a little glitter, this was matted on navy pearlescent card and layered on coordinating Christmas Paper. The second is a stamp from Lily Of the Valley which was also coloured with Copis and mat and layered in the same way but in plum tones, the sentiments for both cards were printed from my computer. 

There were 10 snow scene cards altogether, all had the same image stamped in Blue Generation Inx by Stamps by Me Ltd and then glitter added with a quickie glue pen, the mat and layered on two different coordinating Christmas Papers matted onto navy pearlescent card.

Again there were 10 tradition style cards too, this time the image was stamped in Plum Archival Ink and matted and layered on plum cardstock and coordinating Christmas papers.

Hope you like them all.

Thanks for popping in.

Lots of Love

Cheers

Hello Again

Hi, I'm back after a very long break, no excuses but lots of good reasons like, having a new kitchen, new bath and shower, redecorating the stairs, living room and conservatory. The latter of which overlapped with having an operation on my right hand for Carpel Tunnel, then it was Christmas and New Year and then back to work (yuk). 

Finally though I've managed to get back into making some cards.  I got a full set of Copic Ciao's for Christmas (OMG - I'm so happy) so have started having a little play and practice to try and improve my colouring techniques.

I'm going to put on a few cards that I've made over the last few weeks but there will be no details about them as I was only playing and practicing using both my Copics and Promarkers.  I didn't take of note of the colours or papers I was using - soz.

Anyway here goes I hope you like them.


You'll notice that one is not a card but a canvas, this was an experiment just to see how it would work, and as it wasn't a total disaster my son used it as birthday gift for his teacher.

Hopefully you'll see more regular posts again from now on.

Lots of Luv

LILY OF THE VALLEY STAMPS

Hiya, long time no see.  Sorry for my absense on here.  I have two very good reasons, firstly it has been manic at work and also my internet access has been more or less none existent and driving me crazy with how slow it has been.

Anyway I went to the NEC last month and bought some LOTV stamps, they are sooo cute.  So at long last here are some of the cards I've made with some of them.

oO-Oo

This first card was made for a friend's birthday.  I used Promarkers for this one and the DP I think is DCWV. Ribbon, lace and gems from stash and the sentiment was a stamp from the NEC.

The card has not been sent yet, not sure who or what I will use it for, I just wanted to colour the stamp and try out my new MS Around the Page punch set.  (Actually just come back up the page to let you know I've decided this card is going to be for my Mum and Dad's Wedding Anniversary in June).

I used distress inks to colour this image on the watercolour card I also purchased at the NEC, what a huge difference it made using the correct paper.

I gave this card to my Mum for Mother's Day, I made it without a sentiment at first, I loved the DP, another one from DCWV and coloured the stamped image with Promarkers to coordinate.  After a few days I added the Mum cut on my Cricut, I have used stickles on the wording but it doesn't show too well on the photo.

Finally this was a very quick card that I made just to use the image I'd coloured whilst I was playing.  The DP this time is from a Brenda Pinnick pad.

 

I did buy a more stamps that I haven't got round to using yet but I will do as soon as poss.

Hope you like what you've seen and thanks for dropping by.

Take Care
