Easel card

Hello!  Hope you are all well, its miserable weather here today, dull, grey and raining off and on, I have just got in from work and am staying put now! The card I am sharing today is for my mom's birthday in march, I have made an easel card which I haven't made for such a long time, infact I can't remember when I last made one, not sure why as I do like them. I have used a penny black image coloured with promarkers, Isabelle papers from first edition, m/s doily border punch, memory box die to make the roses, cheery lyn fanciful flourish die, made my own stickpin, marianne fence die and the usual ribbon, pearls etc.

Pearls and Lace!

Morning all!
Woke up to a sprinkling of snow this morning but the sun is shining beautifully now so it has soon melted which is good as its my last day today of my annual leave so back to work tomorrow. Todays card was one of those where I just didn't have a clue where I was going with it, I was just having a play with some cosmic shimmer mica powders which I used to paint the image with and I also used them brushed over versamark for the background, unfortunately you can't see the lovely shimmer in the photo. The image is from Kanban and embossed with wow powder. The gorgeous flower, lace and stickpin were all part of the fabulous candy I received from Craftyloops. The scalloped border is from Die Namics and the distress ink I used was victorian velvet.

Distressed!

Good morning all!
I am enjoying a few unexpected days off work and even though I still have to use the eye drops my eyes are much better so I can make a few cards, yay! I don't do much distressing but I when I saw the Passion for Promarkers challenge I thought I would give it a go. I have used First Edition Isabelle papers, distressed all the edges and inked with crushed velvet distress ink, the image is from Forever Friends black and gold stamp set coloured with promarkers/flexmarkers. The gorgeous stickpin is from Craftyloops.

Clean and Simple!

Evening everyone!
This is my first post for a week as I have had an eye infection in both eyes and have been unable to see properly, it's been a nightmare! I still can't see detail but am definitely over the worst. This card is very clean and simple and I have used one of my favourite stamps ever, I love this adorable Humphrey image, he is coloured with promarkers/flexmarkers, the paper is from dovecraft back to basics  and the embossing was done using a sizzix texture plate.

My first tag!

Hiya!
Well as promised here is the tag I made yesterday, it was made with some of the wonderful goodies I received from CraftyLoops when I won some of her fabulous candy. I always like the look of cards and tags when they have been stamped and distressed but I find this look very difficult to achieve myself so I am very inspired by blogs such as CraftyLoops and Izzwizz, their projects are always amazing.
I used distress inks, silver shimmer mist, stamp from Kanban and wow embossing powder, diecuts and beads.

A Little Cutie!

Hello everyone.

This card is for my niece Isabella, the papers and image are both from Wild Rose Studio, the image is coloured with flexmarkers, sentiment from Cuddly Buddly and embellishments from stash.
