New Baby Girl

This card was made for an ex work colleague (I don't work there now!) who had a baby girl at the beginning of September.  The image is Penny Black and was coloured with Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pencils (plus blending solution).  Now, I'll be honest and admit that I didn't think using the pencils on top of pens would make much difference but I was pleasantly surprised!  The image was mounted on to a Die'sire Chantilly Lace stamping frame cut in pink Centura Pearl cardstock.  The sentiment is by LOTV and was stamped and punched out.  I added a bow to the top left corner to balance the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.

Penny Black Saturday - Week 85

Something Sweet was the challenge for this week on Penny Black Saturday and I think this image fits it perfectly. The image is Penny Black and has been coloured with Promarkers, paper is from the Cupcakes collection (Craftwork Cards I think), the sentiment is an Inca stamp. Hopefully I'm going to be just in time for this challenge but if it's not in time at least I've made a start on Easter cards!

Penny Black Saturday Week 64

Christmas is this weeks theme on Penny Black Saturday, right up my street! For this card I used half of a Craftwork Cards scalloped card wrap and covered it with paper from the Docrafts Daisy and Dandelion paper and edged it with black ink. The main card was covered with paper from the same pack. I embossed the PB tree and greeting and finished it off with a couple of swirly peel off corners which I thought matched the tree quite well and a ribbon tied in a knot.

Birthday Card 2 for Nathan

This is the card that I made for myself and my husband to send to a friend's little boy. The blue and orange card from the Crafty Cardmakers challenge is for the children to sign. On the cardmaking forum I belong to a couple of people have made cards using this design and I've jumped on the bandwagon! Really pleased with myself as I used some Papermania papers that I've had in my stash for ages. It was one of those huge packs that I was given one year as a Christmas present and, no matter how much of it you use, it never seems to go down! I already had the PB bears coloured from ages ago and I used peel off letters coloured to match the paper.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge # 60 Summer

Penny Black Saturday challenge this week was simply 'Summer'. This image has to be one my favourite PB hedgies - I just love him getting sunburnt in his deckchair - so very English! He was coloured using watercolour pencils and I used DCWV paper for the background and decoupaged one of the flowers from the paper. Blue and yellow always say Summer to me (must be the yellow sand and blue sky!) so they were the obvious colour choices this time. A simple card but very me!

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Challenge 62

My first ever challenge card! I liked the sketch on a spoonfull of sugar and had the image all ready to be made up into something. Image is PB, the paper is DCWV, the sentiment is Craftwork Cards
