Bye Bye - Off to Granny's

I thought these images from Digital pencil Too would make a perfect GrandMother card, it reminded me so much of my 2 girls running over to their Nanna's to raid the cake tin lol!

On another note it would also make a great fun wedding cardwith a note saying and they lived happily ever after.

Attention to detail...

I matched the inside of the gatefold card in the same theme as the front edging the insert with red gingham amd using the scallop border punch to give a fancy edge.

The little flowers were punched out from a corner punch I have, I dotted the centre of the flowers in red glued them in place and using a white pen dashed some faux stitching.

I love the detail in these images the Bye bye girl has a ladybug backpack and the Bye bye boy has a car backpack cute, cute, cute.

Jack 20 Weeks Old

It has been a little while since I gave you all an update on Jack's progress and as I had him for a few hours tonight I thought I'd share a couple of pictures with you.
He arrived to us like this...

And in no time at all with a bit of prodding and poking (wink) to help him wake up, we had him

like this....

and this...

he really is a happy little chap

Navy Iced

Navy and ice white card.

The tree is a stamp from the set As lovely as a tree from Stampin Up, stamps onto navy coloured card then heat embossed with white embossing powder. I then punched out the border using a Martha Stewart Border Punch.

The white iced card is embossed with the cuttlebug folders Vicyoria and Snowflakes.

I layered all the card together then finished with a Snowflake charm a ribbon and Stickle Ice glitter glue over the tree.

Coexist - Fur Fear

I have to say this is one of the scariest projects I have done the digi image is by Mo Manning and is called Coexist and doesn't it just make you say "awe"?

Well I have been dying to give this one a go but I have a fur fear, no not really, just the thought of how to tackle colouring it sent me in a spin. I wasn't going to let it beat me so here is my result.

Teamed with 2 pretty papers a ribbon and a button to finish.

Attention to detail...

So I thought I would give the attention to detail to the fur.

I did colour with Promarkers but I just wasn't getting the effect that i was after so I remembered what Jim Harker (artist for La Pashe) told me.

He said "there is no law against mixing mediums" so that is exactly what I did, I used watercolour pencils on top of the Promarkers and I have to say that I am quite chuffed with the result

I'd love to hear your comments on this one, I love reading them
