SBS Challenge - Demonic Babe

For this challenge we were allowed to have Demonic Babe to make either a good card or a bad card.  I choose to do a bad card, which meant dark colours and embellishments.

The link for Demonic Babe is: - http://simplybstamps.net/item_2983/Demonic-Babe-Digi.htm

I chose to do a bad Demonic Babe, as I wanted the challenge of trying to do dark colours.  The ribbon is from a Christmas selection I have and all the papers are from personal stashes.  The bat and spider embellishments are from a set of chipboard halloween cutouts I received in the last swap and so are the flowers.  The dots are done with a black and white Perla Pens.

Sympathy Card

I made a sympathy card for a very dear friend who lost her brother in a nasty tragedy. I used an image by SimplyBettyStamps called KathyO'DellAngel

Such a lovely image and ideal for a sympathy card.  I coloured her using suttle shades of pink and blue with golden hair.

Olivers 2nd Birthday

This is a Birthday Card I made for our Beautiful Son.  He loves Cats and I thought this image from SimplyBettyStamps was ideal, its part of the Cave Teens Collection which I love and have used another one of the collection previously.  I printed the PNG image onto a cave background and had stamped the little hand and foot prints and drew on little stick men to make the background look little a prehistoric cave.

I used train tickets to provide the sentiments and kept the embellishments to a minimal as it was a boys card and just used a few dark gems.


The image is chris and Saber and the link is as follows:

Happy Anniversary

This was my anniversary card I made for my husband for our 12th Anniversary.  The photo actually doesn't do it justice.  

The image is by SBS and is gorgeous.  I used promarkers to colour the image.  Papers are from a stash that I was given, there are silver corners and the writing is black stickers.  If you look closely you will just be able to see that I have used a gold pen and put dots along her hair and the middle of the flowers to give them a sparkle.  The black and white flower is ceramic and from Amazon and the green pipe cleaner is from my daughters crafting box.

Miscellaneous Cards

This card was made for the Spring Blog Hop that I was part of.  It was the card I made to go with the goodies that I sent to my lovely lady in the US.  The image used is from SBS and is part of her Boudoir Collection.


Bubble Bath Betty: http://simplybstamps.net/item_2727/Bubble-Bath-Betty-Digi.htm

This one was made as part of a request by the lovely Tamara of The Stamping Chef.  It was a special image made to support the Troops of the Dutch Army out in Mali.  we were allowed to have her for free if we joined the Facebook group OperationBlueBison and made a project with her.  She then collected all the projects and sent them out to the Troops.
