Saturated Canary - Windy

Good Evening
Today I have an easel birthday card for my very good friend Mona, we have know each other for more years than I care to count, someone you can always rely on when times are hard, even if we don't speak for a week or so she is always there for me and me for her. So I wanted this to be a special card, hope she likes it.

Her card did start off as a Lilli of Valley which I coloured in  (I am sure I will be using it soon) but decided to use this Saturated Canary digi image instead, I just cannot leave them alone, they are all so beautiful.  Coloured with Copics, glittered with Stickles - Doo Hickey flowers & tag, pearls and bling...

Saturated Canary - Whispy a Fairy

Good Evening,

Today I have a Saturated Canary digi image card called Whispy a Fairy, I just love Krista's images and I have quite a few I could colour them all day, but first I must apologise for the poor picture - it was a rush job to photograph it as I needed to give it to the recipient that day and I didn't have my camera, so I took it with my mobile.  It was for my work collegue Lizz, and I chose the colour of hair to match Lizz's bright pink hair and also made the card her favourite colour of purple.  This was also my first attempt at using my new set of Copics, and I loved them... but I need more colours... best not tell my hubbie as he thought the 144 he bought me was more than enough, but now I need Sketch too... deep breathe and slow down... LOL.

It Has Been a While

I cannot believe I have not posted for such a long time, Christmas was so busy as our family is huge, then New Year happened and our lovely children clubbed together and took us away to Centre Parcs as our Christmas pressie - a brilliant weekend was had by all. 

Father Christmas visited and left me a full set of Copic Ciaos - wasn't I lucky, although I haven't had masses of time to play with them, but I have organised them into DJ case and a chart with all the colours. 

Anyway I have managed to make a few cards so I need to get posting them. 

The first of the cards is a Thank You Card I have made a few of these cards for the presents we received at Christmas.  Not a copic in sight... LOL.  The paper is a digi from Bearly Mine, the flowers are Marianne as is the lacey die at the bottom, the sentiment made in Photoshop. 

Sorry about the picture, I normally try to take them at work in the light tent, but this is taken at home on my desk.  Hope you like the card, back in a couple of days with more cards.

Poinsettia Exploding Box

Hello, two posts in two days things are looking up in Blogland for me.  Such a cold and windy day today and my day off work too.  I looked after my little 8 month old Grandaughter, Zara for part of the day, she is so beautiful and such a good baby, a pleasure to look after. 

Today I have an exploding box which I gave to my mother-in-law instead of a Christmas card. 

The red glitter poinsettia was made using a Marianne Creatable die (the same one I used for the gold poinsettia) but I cut 3x large and 1x small, I used Glossy Accents to stick the glitter then cut all petals apart and glued them to a small circle to build up the flower, not sure it that makes sense, it was time consuming but worth it. 

This was my first attempt at an exploding box and I thoroughly enjoyed  every minute of it and I know I will be making many more. 

The gold and the glitter do not show up so well on the pictures but were beautiful in real life.

I think you can just about see that the white card is embossed.

Kenny K - Christmas Hottie

Hello - not had chance to post for a few days as I have been busy with a family weekend away and trying to get on top of my wrapping, We have 7 children plus their partners, plus their children, plus nieces, nephews, sisters, brothers, mums, Uncle Tom Cobble and All, so it takes me for ever to shop and wrap all the presents, shopping nearly finished and wrapping started but far from finished, I will get there

Today I have a card for my nephew today using Kenny K's Christmas Hottie, I am sure he will be pleased with this.  Coloured with Promarkers.

I have coloured a few of these digi images so they will be showing up on more cards when I get chance to post them.

I did a concertina fold on the card - the paper are Bo Bunny - Father Christmas papers, and the snowflake die is a Marianne Creatables. 

The christmas tree die cut I bought off eBay. 

Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy the rest of your week.

I am entering this card into the Promarkers Challenge - Week 129–Mega Christmas challenge
