Two Tone Damask

I Started with a white 14 x 14cm card and stamped the damask stamp by PTI over the base card leaving around 3cm clear at the base of the card, I then added the dotted paper punched with a Martha Stewart border punch the the bottom section and tied a matching ribbon to hide the join using the long rectangle Nesabilities Dies I cut out the scallop shape from contrasting card and cut a plain white shape and stamped the sentiment on top.

Attention to Detail...

The Damask Stamp was inked with the Brilliance Aurora ink pad I did it carefully pressing the edges of the pad onto the edges of the stamp and allowing the centre of the stamp to catch the middle colour on the ink pad.

Not even a Mouse

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

How cute please?

Another one of Mo Mannings digi stamps coloured with promarkers , stickles added to the teacup, base card was embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Folder.

Attention to detail...

I tied a couple of crystal bead strands into the know of the bow and dotted stickles glitter glue onto some of the raised dots.

Choir

I started this card with a red base card and layered 4 x 7x7cm squares of patterned papers on top of the base card, this left a 1/2 cm border on the card, I used the Choir digi stamp by talented artist ~ Mo Manning and coloured it with Promarkers and Copic Sketch Markers, stickles glitter glue was added to the singers tunics I edged the image with a gold marker and matted it onto the same red as the base card I edged this with the gold marker too.

I tied the gold ribbon around the card and tied with a knot, then added the image slightly off center on top of the ribbon.

The piece of patterned paper in the right bottom corner is a flocked paper, if anyone knows who makes it and/or where I could buy more I would be really grateful for the information.

Fred & Ginger

This is another digi stamp by the talented artist ~ Mo Manning coloured with Promarkers then layerd onto patterned paper with the edges distressed by sponging ink ont them.

I velvet flower and a satin ribbon to finish.

Up Up and Away....

This card was made with the Everyday Button Bits stamp set by Papertrey Ink

This card reminds me of my friend Pam who has been trying to arange a balloon flight for 2 years now but the weather has let her down each time.

So Pam if you are looking dreams really do come true so keep trying.

Eskimo Kisses

From the moment I found this Digi Stamp I knew I had to have it, Eskimo Kisses was something that played a big part in our family life, when my daughters were little these were given out in abundance.
I took this card to show Lauren now aged 22 and she grinned from ear to ear saying I used to love my Eskimo kisses.
This one is coloured with copic Sketch markers and will be entered into the Copic Creations Challenge the digi image is by talented artist ~ Mo Manning

The flower have been encrusted with crushed glass glitter as has the edges of the image to give that icy look to the card.

A little charm Brad added to the bottom of the image.

The Handbag - Digi Stamp

I figured that I couldn't make a shoe card without the perfect accessory so I set to work on making this handbag card.

This is another digi stamp from sketching stamper digi-stamps coloured with copic sketch markers then layered onto SU Paper.

A matching ribbon and a couple of buttons to finish.

Attention to Detail...

Stickles Diamond glitter glue was added to the clasp on the handbag to make it twinkle.

The Shoe - Copic Creations Challenge 10

I created this card for the Copic Creations Challenge, I don't normally do challenges but my friend Marge told me about it & thought this one could be fun, I had The Shoe digi stamp by sketching stamper digi-stamps just sitting itching to be coloured so here it is, my challenge entry.

Attention to detail...

I wasn't sure which part of detail to show you on this card, the single petal at the bottom corner, the punched out heart shape in the top corner, the double tied ribbon? so I plumbed for the rose and the shoe detail.

The rose was made with a heart punch, I distressed some paper with red ink fading it out to a pink shade then punching out the hearts and tweaking the shapes into individual petals.

The front of the shoe was adorned with gold bedazzles to give a little sparkle and to add dimension.

Fantasy Tree

A white base card layered with gold and another white card, stamped with the Penny Black Fantasy Tree and heat embossed with gold detail powder.

I punched out snowflakes from acetate (be warned; I also broke one of my punches in the process) then dotted them with glossy accents and dropped them into some crushed glass glitter.

The snowflakes were added to the card with silicon then a pearl popped on the top of each one.

Attention to detail...

A large snowflake cut from acetate, dotted with glossy accents and dipped in crushed glass glitter.

The ribbon was tied through an iridescent button and tied into a bow.

Elegant Post

The stamps used in theis card is from the stamp set Elegent Post which was designed by Nina Brackett it can be bought from Gina K It is a fun setwhich can be used for mose occasions.

I used Memento Ink to stamp out the images then coloured the flowers and leaves using Copic sketch markers.
