Little Bo–She’s Lost Them

We may need to organise a search party, poor love has definitely lost them.

Little Bo by Mo’s Digital Pencil and isn’t she the sweetest thing? such a pretty face.

I wanted to keep this card uncluttered as she is so sweet it would be a shame to over power hers with lots of embellishments. Coloured with Copic and FlexMarkers.

Papers are from Limited Edition,  ribbon, button, tiny pearls and a prima flower to finish.

Anniversary Filigree

I know, I know, I bought one but I just couldn’t do it, so I set to straight after dinner and got cracking making a card for Chris’s Mam & Dad, I may keep the other for his Dads Birthday or Fathers Day.

A bit of a filigree feel to this one.

 

Soft, dreamy and clean, I used a heart corner punch (corner adorner) really old punch, my ScorPal for the embossing, love the ScorPal, Moroccan spellbinders die on the Grande Calibur, Memory Box Heart die, some ribbons and pearl pins.

I also used my Stampin Up heart punch and a bit of matting and layering.

Silver Fairy

Such a sweet thing this one. Silver Fairy,  I used Copics and Prisma pencils to colour her and used the overhang technique using the spellbinders label four die, I have a tutorial here The corner punch is an EK success punch. and both scrumptious ribbons are from Ribbon Carousel 

I just love heather colours don’t you? there is just something about them. The Silver Fairy digi is from Wee Stamps and i tried to keep her in pastel tones as I had lots of colour with the Stampin Up paper and ribbon

Sweet Blossom

I stumbled upon a new company for me, such pretty faces on these one that I thought I’d give them a whirl, this is the first one I loved and it’s the one I used for todays card, it’s called Sweet Blossom and is available here.

I love the way that this on is sitting on the arced blossom branch.

Coloured with copic markers and using the Spellbinders oval nestabilities I created a cut out to sit her inside

Frog Friend–Whimsy Stamps

I just could resist this little digital stamp by Whimsy Stamps, he is such a love, he is looking as if he is trying to figure it out, I know we often watch our Jack and wonder what is going through his mind.

Coloured with Copic Sketch Markers and teamed with background papers from my stash I used some lint, buttons and a heart paperclip with some gingham ribbon knotted around it and spellbinders nestabilities to cut out and frame the image.

Victorian Mystique

I got the pleasure to work with some new stamps from Wonderland Stamps I just love the steampunk style, there is an air of attitude to them yet an elegance that the Victorians did so very well.

This one is image Wonderland No19 from Wonderland Stamps

I used a set of papers from my digital Scrapbook software as they fit perfect, coloured the image with the BG range of Copics a lush satin ribbon some die cut gears and a of bit paper piecing and some matting and layering.

Apple of my Eye

With Valentine just around the corner I started to think of card without the slushy feel to them but something that would give a smile and still the meaning of the day is there, this one just ticks all of the boxes for me.

Apple of my eye by Karen's Doodles

Made on a Kraft base card and teamed with gorgeous ribbon and bakers twine from Ribbon Carousel all of the other elements and papers  are from Raspberry Road designs I also used the Viva Decor Crackle paint on opposite corners and buffed it with precious metal gold from Creativity Direct.The image was cut out using the circle Nestabilities both plain and scalloped.

My lovely man is taking me out for a little fresh air today, still in pain but hopefully the worst is over.

Spring with Adele–Mo Manning

Well I keep taking the pain killers but they take longer to kick in and a sure know when I’m ready for more, a sore mouth leaves you pretty miserable I can tell you, I think part of the problem is my tongue it just can’t leave it alone and I look pretty silly going through the day holding it to stop it wandering.

I decided that a spring card might be just the ticket to cheer me up.

Adele from Mo’s Digital Pencil 

I coloured her with FlexMarkers by Letraset and used the Nestabilities Oval dies to cut her out then teamed her with Nitwit Collection papers

I just love the size of her Easter Bonnet.

Winter Fairy

I’m hoping that this little one will blow the snow here for Christmas morning, I love a white Christmas, there is just something magical about it, I know Grandson Jack would love it, he wasn’t really old enough to know what is was last year when we had it so I would love to know his reaction to it now. I can remember tossing my head back and catching the snowflakes on my tongue when i was young and laying flat on my back waving my arms to make an angel print in the snow.

Winter Fairy Halla by Mo’s Digital pencil 

I used the Penny Black holly stamp and heat embossed with white detail powder then used pale blue ink to swirl over the top to create the blue haze, the ribbon is scrumptious and from the Ribbon Carousel I only used around a 3 inch piece of it and fastened a button to the middle, the lace ribbon holds its shape so was perfect for this.

Extra, Extra! Read all about it.

Extra, Extra! Read all about it, Santa Claus is coming to town…

Isn’t this little paperboy brilliant, he could be announcing all sorts of occasions Extra by Mo’s Digital Pencil 

Coloured with copic markers and teamed with background papers from Raspberry Road Designs some red pearls and gold twine and a Cheery Lynn Doily die cut out on the Cuttlebug, Labels 4 by Spellbinders, some punched out gold leaves and some little red bells to finish.

Steampunk

I got the chance to work with some new images and I have to say that I jumped at the chance, I love working on something that is out of the box so to speak, Steampunk is amazing to work with it’s Grungy yet Victorian and all about incorporating elements of science fiction, mechanical and fantasy so out came the sprocket and ink and I set to work.

I mixed and matched digital stamps from Wonderland Stamps, through in some sprockets chains and a time piece and a few crystals.

Images coloured with Copic Markers, I spritzed the sprockets with Tattered Angels glimmer mists and distressed the DCWV designer papers with black ink.

Ragged Angel

Such a sweet vintage Christmas feel to this little lady. Ragged Angel is a digi stamp and is available from Mo’s Digital Pencil 

Coloured with Promarkers and FlexMarkers from Letraset, I used the Spellbinders Labels 4 die to cut out the image and the backing papers are fro, last year, making memories I think.

I used some crystal stickers from Meiflower to enhance the berries on the paper and a bit of stickles glitter glue, a charm and a pretty ribbon bow to finish.
