Birthday Card for my Mum

Me again, second post in the same day....!! LOL  

Just a quick one to show you a card I made for my mum for her birthday last week.  I've used a Sarah Kay image and Portobello Road papers (which I got free in this month's Do Crafts magazine) and I love them.  I really like the vintage feel of them and the colours are lovely.

So again I handmade the flowers, using the same technique as in my first posting, I've coloured the image using prisma pencils and blended with sansodor, I hand drew and cut the letters for Mum and the sentiment is PC generated.  

Thanks for looking

loving summer driggs download papers

Well i gotta say I totally love summer driggs papers and im sure you will be seeing a lot more on our blog.
I have used the awareness kit ..this is a card for a friend which is similar to the lemon and blue one i did but she loved it so i had to recreate another for her daughter the verse and name are computer generated and i have used my prisma pencils again..I have also inked the edges in memento angel pink.
My friend has'nt seen it yet so i hope she likes it she did say she wanted somthing really girly and pink so i hope i have manage to do that.

I think tonight im going to finish doin my crochet butterflies and watch being human on i player I dont get to watch it on a sunday night as I work while late but not for long as of next week its my last weekend shifts so I get them back and I cant wait because its been a while we can be a family again at the weekends ...and I cant wait to do lots of crafty shopping with my mate tracy which im sure she is looking forward to too .

First Card - Uploaded

So again something completely new to us, uploading photos of cards that we've created... Well here goes......

I love Sarah Kay images as much as Tilda, there is something very nostalgic about the images, they take me back to my childhood and yes I can remember that far back.....!! LOL

Details:

Paper - Can't remember
Image - Sarah Kay
Flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts, Samual Taylor & Craft Caddy (Castleford)
Embellishments - Pearl hearts from Ebay, Flatback pearls from Hobbycraft
Sentiment Stamp - From a Personal Impressions Clear Stamp set, stamped with an olive green Ink it Up ink pad.

I've inked round the edges with the same green as the sentiment is stamped in (you'll probably see quite a few cards with this colour as i've got a bit of a "thing" about it at the moment!) LOL I've coloured her with prisma pencils. I'm still learning colouring techniques, but i'm quite happy with how she looks.

Thanks for looking
