Blog Candy Winner - Promarkers, Help for Katie

I have a Blog candy Winner but before I announce it I wanted to thank everyone for getting the word out for the Help for Katie fundraising, we have raised a great amount so far and I'm hoping that it will continue to do so, none of this would have been possible if it wasn't for our wonderful crafting community.

The generosity of people just blows me away, isn't it wonderful to know that we can make a difference in a families life? I know Katie and her family are immensely grateful for the support that has been shown.

So without further delay the winner of the Promarker Blog Candy is...

Sweet Iris

It had been so long since doing a straight forward decoupage card that I actually enjoyed making this one. I used Stampin Up Design Paper for the background and used one of there punches for the leaves, Labels 4 Nestabilities and a contrasting ribbon, some little pearls and a dragonfly charm and a bit of love to bring it all together.

So Many have asked where the decoupage image has come from, well I have to say I cheat lol! it is one of the new Nice'n'Easel sheets by La Pashe I just cut it part out for my card.

Everything But The kitchen Shelf - Mothers Day Card

As soon as I saw this Stamp I knew it would make the perfect Mothering Sunday Card, it have a bit of nostalgia included in the image and I can tell you it reminds me of baking as far as the eye could see on a Sunday morning when I was a little girl.

My Mam used to bake in batches for the week we had bread dough raising in every warm spot in the house ooo and the cakes were out of this world.

One of the cakes that was my favourite was one we called jelly jubilees, it was a vanilla cupcake baked then dipped in a raspberry jelly mix before it set and then rolled in coconut strands, once the jelly had set on the cake it was cut in half and a great big dollop of whipped fresh cream added to the center, I can promise you they didn't last long ha ha.

Digital Stamp - Kitchen Shelves by Just Inklined

coloured with Copic markers, Stampin Up designer papers, lace, buttons, roses and twine and a little bit of love to bring it all together.
