Joy card

Good afternoon bloggers, it's  a bit milder here today thank goodness. Today I have another card to show you made for  'Beccy's Place' again using Beccy's digi image 'Joy'. I think it  makes for such an easy card using a word as the main image.  You can  make it very large, or keep it small and layer it as I  have here. See Beccy's blog too for her version of the image  on  a card, it's so pretty in shades of pink hmm now why didn't  I think about doing that lol. I used the coloured version as I just loved the choice of colours but there is a black and white  version too as usual. I found some dp with the word joy on which I think went well with the image. After layering up the  image and edging with matching shades of navy and yellow, I added my usual sparkle to the ribbon part with my glamour  dust. Come and have a closer look ................

Thankyou card

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the  weekend whatever you have planned.I had to get up early again,  ( 4.30 am) as I was coughing so much grrrr.  It's a bit ( no... a lot)  chilly here today , so we lit the new woodburner 'Woody' today.  Oh boy does it  heat the whole house quickly. We have had to  open all the doors throughout the house now, which is great as  we now have lovely  ambient heat all through it. Right enough  waffling, onto my second  card for this weeks 'Less is More'  challenge. It's week 91 and a sketch this week which is..... come and have a closer look at my card.  I used the distress  ink technique where you ink onto an  acrylic stamping block first then spray with water then dab that onto cardstock. I  think mine resembles a  nice sky ?? I embossed over it too,  reminds me of raindrops....sort of ?? I drew a few birds  stamped a tree and coloured a little here and there. Quite  pleased with it now, I see so many things  wrong with my first  card now...isn't that always the way?? ps. I do hope you all remembered to turn your clocks back. It took us ages to figure out how to do the tv time. Sooooo many menu's etc. ...I swear it's worse than a computer that tv. When they said  all singing and dancing I think they just mean VERY COMPLICATED.

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well today and have escaped all the horrid colds/germs that are about just now. I thought I  had, only to find myself full of a cold now too arghhhh. Anyway  onto some DT cards made for 'Beccy's Place' again with some  super cute digi images. This new set is called  'mini sentiment set' and there are no less than 20 small images  in this set....Wow ! All   come with their own  little sentiments below the images too. There all come in a colour version and also in black and white.   These will come in so handy esp. for  making quick cards. They  don't  need much else on a card I find as the images  are lovely and simple. I made a quite a few cards with some  of the images ( see mine below). My other team  member  Cheryl has used  some  of the other images, so check Beccy's  site for those today HERE. The  super talented Beccy and  Eret will post their cards on the site tomorrow so be  sure  to check those out also.  Come and have a  closer look  at the  cards  I made here............. ps.

Talking with the moon card

Good morning everyone, I hope you are well and happy today. Not feeling that good today, the old Rh Arthritis is back for the winter so lots of pain and not much sleep again .Will try not to  moan too much though lol, at least now it has stopped raining and the sun is out. Today I have another 'Less is More' card to show you. It's a 'one layer' card  we have to make this time  with the theme of ......... Wings  Such a cute fairy image ( details below), I have been dying  to use this for ages. I just made a strip using distress ink  and added the image with lots of bling for the wings. Not  sure it shows here but it's like crushed glass and sparkles  a lot. I also added a few  digital  'sparkles' on the wings and my fairy shoe prop......can you spot them :) Top tip .... To make your digi image stand out more on a card,  I outline mine using my Ice grey Promarker. Didn't do it here as the image is quite small but now added a pic of one I did earlier.

Blue butterflies script card

Good afternoon friends/bloggers, I hope you are all enjoying your  weekend. It's week 89 over at 'Less is More' this time we have to  make a one layer card and the theme is...... Wings I managed to get ink on the sleeve of my new pink ( well it would be pink wouldn't it he he) jumper. Lucky it was watercolour ink so  it came off easily....phew. I made version one, then decided it needed  more colour and some sparkle.I added more ink and then added even  more to the butterflies and sparkled them  too. I think it looks better  now. Enough waffling, come and have a  closer look at my card...... ps. Btw my DIL's sister has only just had her baby, ( about an hour ago), and it was boy ! They already have two girls and a boy so this evens up the family nicely.Many congratulations to everyone.
