Annabel - Saddle Up

Hello,

Today I'm posting a card I made for a commission. I've used a Lili of the Valley stamp called Annabel  - Saddle Up.  The papers are Maja Design. I have added glossy accents to the saddle and the boots. I have distressed the edges with Stamping up distressing tool. The image is mounted on decorative oval. The banner is made from magnolia banner die.

It's nearly the weekend so I hope you all have lots of time to get sticky and inky!!!!

Floral Box Card

A card I made for my Daughter's Birthday last year. I can't believe I haven't posted for such a long time. I used Stamping ups Flower shop stamp set.

The gorgeous papers are from Pink Petticoat and are called Strawberry Bloom. I love the idea of box cards as you can pack so much detail into them. The colours are so spring like I thought it was the perfect time to post.

I have soooooo many cards to post but I think I should call it a day for now. Be back very soon.

Race Day

Hello,

I've been away for such a long time but I'm back now and have lots of cards to post. The card I'm sharing today is one I have made for my Daughters Birthday. Just hope she doesn't see it on here!!!
Charlotte ran in the Bath half marathon for the charity TEMWA, a few weeks  ago. Very proud of her. I found this image on the saturated canary site and thought it would be perfect.
I hope you like it.

I coloured the image with my topic markers, which I haven't used for so long. Loved the effect they gave. The papers are the gorgeous Pion Paris Flea Market. The button twine and the pink cord are from the Ribbon Girl.

I am entering it for the Ribbon Girl March Challenge.

Space rockets

Good Afternoon,

Another quick post to show you the card I made for my brother's birthday (not until December) but you have to strike while the ideas are fresh.

I used some navy cardstock and applied white shabby frontage for the star effect. The  little rockets and space ships are a memory box die which i attatched using folded acetate which makes them look as though they are floating. I have also added stars and self adhesive gems to add to the solar system effect.

This is just up my Brother's street, he loves astronomy and planets and space.

Annabel Texting

Good Afternoon,

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend. I have been busy making a card for my niece, who will be 14 on Tuesday ( she spends all her time texting, so very appropriate image !!) and a New Home card for my son and his girlfriend, who are busy packing for a move to London next weekend.

I am going to share the card I made for my niece today. The image is one of the new LOTV Annabel stamps. This one is called Annabel Texting.

I have coloured her using distress re-inkers and Prisma coloured pencils. The papers are Maja design.
The stitching around the edge of the card is stamped with a LOTV A5 stamp set.The Happy birthday sentiment has been heat embossed using stamping up white embossing powder. I have added a doily and lace ribbon. The fence is cut using a Magnolia die and stamped and embossed. The tag is also a Magnolia die to which I have added a little wooden heart.

I have added an envelope embellishment which I think is a junkyard find one and attached it with a flower button.
