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.

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.

Fathers Day

Here are my Fathers Day cards that I made for my Husband and both Fathers in Laws, unfortunately I only have pictures of two of them.  Image used is by Meljens Designs and the backing papers are all from Papercraft Magazine and my personal stash.  Corners are from my personal stash too.  I was given a white pearl pen which I used to make the dots around the top of the monsters head and around the sentiment.

TSC Sketch Challenge

I made this card for the last sketch challenge on The Stamping Chefs Facebook Fan page.  

I used Fairy Nuff for the image and we had a set layout we had to use for the challenge.  The image was coloured with promarker pens and the wings and outfit were given a covering of glitter glue to add sparkle to them.  

This card was also made as a birthday card for a very dear old friend of mine that unfortunately I don't get to see in person very much at the moment, but still keep in contact with and miss very much.

The link for the image used is: http://thestampingchef.com/Shop/downloads/fairy-nuff/

I used a mixture of papers from my personal stash and embellished with butterfly and dragonfly stickers, gems and flower stickers, aswell as corner accents.  Finished off with a butterfly tag with Birthday written on it.
