Last Night's Cards

Woohoo, at last I've been able to make some cards!!  And this was my first.  It's the gorgeous Sugar Nellie Art from the Heart image that I got ordered for my Christmas and I LOVE her.  She's been coloured with Promarkers and I'm not entirely happy with the colouring - needs much more shading, but it's ok for the first attempt.

The swirl paper is Clare Curd (thanks, Crafty-Clare x) and the others are K & Co Que Sera Sera (thanks, Melly x).  Last night, I challenged myself to use scraps and as much ribbon as possible - I have loads of ribbon and am always drawn to it, but judging by the amount I have in my drawer, I don't use it very often!!

 As soon as I saw this Mary Hall image, Circle of Love, on Elaine's amazing blog, I KNEW I had to buy it!  And it's really easy to colour too (coloured with Blush, Almond, Vanilla, Cool Aqua, Duck Egg and Cornflower Promarkers).  Again, I've used paper scraps and ribbon and the beautiful heart charm is from Crafty-Emma's Store.

And here it is for a girl:

I'd love to enter the Passion for Promarkers challenge of Baby Cards. 

And finally, a LOTV thank you card, with the Hello Cupcake image (that Louise was lucky enough to win at Messy's Mini Missions).  She was brilliant to colour (with Pastel Beige, Rose PInk, Baby Pink, Orchid promarkers).  And I finally had a use for the stamped cupcakes from Clare!!  Again, scraps of paper used, which include Henbury flowery paper, which I love, and some rafia.  Stardust Stickles just HAD to be added for the final touch. And I can enter:
Crafty Catz - Food and Drink
A Spoon Full of Sugar - Thank you

Hopefully some more crafting later, but we shall see.  Have a lovely day, peeps.

I haven't gone awaol

Hello, my lovely peeps.

Just wanted to let you know that I haven't gone awol, and there's nothing wrong, just haven't had much crafting time lately, what with Christmas, being away for New Year and getting back into normality.  The little bit of crafting time I had on Sunday, I spent changing a few of the bits of jewellery I've made so that I'm 100% happy with them.  (I'm taking a stall at my daughter's school fundraising Pamper Evening, so I need to make some more jewellery and ensure that I have a good spread of cards to offer.)  I've also got some thank cards to make, which I'm planning to use my new Art from the Heart stamp from Sugar Nellie - she's stamped and ready to be coloured up with my Promarkers - hopefully tomorrow...

So peeps, I hope you've all had a great Christmas and New Year and that you're getting lots of crafty time.  Should be back soon....






PS - Hope you like the new blog design I've chosen.  Had a bit of an identity crisis, but I'm finally happy with the one I've chosen - it includes the colours I love.
