Flowers & Sunshine

Card No 5 which finished my crafting session during the weekend. 5x5 card again!!, paper from Papermania Exquisite Range, border from Basic Grey - Sultry collection and flowers from Prima. A finishing touch to the left hand side - as I thought it looked a little bare, was a stamp from stash. Not sure about this card, not one of my better creations.

Infinite Love

Card No 4. Another 5x5 card, I love this size, can you tell, which has been covered with paper downloaded free from Raspberryroaddesigns, and as it was a harlequin pattern I thought it would fit very well with the stamp from Graphicus - Harlequin Rose. I coloured the image with Lyra Crayons, cut a deckle edge and placed it at an angle onto the card. A tiny bow was attached and a strip of holographic card which had been through my Swiss Dots folder added to the edge.

Art Deco/Art Noveau

Card 3 and a complete new challenge for me. I have joined in a Fat Book Page Swap this month and the theme is Art Deco/Art Noveau. I have never tried any of this sort of stamping before but managed to find a suitable stamp from a Grab Bag I had forgotten about. The image has been coloured using my Lyra Crayons then attached to a circle by using my Nestabilities & Cuttlebug. The card was covered with paper from K and Co Blue Awning Range. I think it needs a little extra to bring it to life, so I would appreciate any comments

Harlequin Rose with Ranger Inks

My 2nd card started off with a piece of Glossy Card which I had brayered using Adirondack Ink - Oregano. I then stamped the image from my Harlequin Rose Themeplate using Black Stazon. As I was pleased with the effect, I decided not to colour the image but to highlight the edges by sponging with Ranger Ink - Tattered Rose. This was mounted onto my 5x5 card blank which I had previously colour washed using Peeled Paint by Ranger. To complete the black theme, I wrapped black organza ribbon around the card.

Meet Emmy's Friend Eva

I have been making a few cards over the last few days which I would like to share with you, the first one is called Eva and is from Cuddly Buddly. The image was one I had received from Lorraine who continues to encourage me in doing 'cute'. Eva has been coloured using Lyra Crayons, them mounted onto an irredescant card with had been put through my Cuttlebug folder 'Script'. The whole thing was mounted onto a 5x5 card blank which had previously been covered with Papermania Creative Tones - Amethyst. Just to add a finishing touch I attached a satin flower and brad from my craft stash.
