Chantelle at the races

Hello again

This card i am entering in the Kit and Clowder clothing technique challenge for the month of July

I have used a digital stamp from Make it Crafty called Chantelle at the races. I couldn't resist purchasing this image as i looove it and the thought of colouring the fold etc. was too good to pass up.

I have coloured the image with inktense pencils as per usual and mounted it onto a book fold card front made of kaisercraft cardstock and papers. I have embellished with liquid pearls and kaisercraft flowers.

Snazzy huh!

My sister in law better like it ;)

Thanks for looking

Melody

Wow! June is a busy time of year for our family because of all the birthdays. I needed to make a card for a very girly niece of mine and thought why not enter it in the MIC FB challenge why i was going since the theme is Girly for this month ;)

I have coloured up a Make It Crafty digital stamp called melody with inktense pencils. I have used kaisercraft cardstock and paper throughout and embellished with some ribbon and some whimsy farm twine . If you haven't discovered this aussie made twine follow the link! Angie has every colour imaginable.

I have made a very snazzy card this time round using the bookfold technique. I got the idea from another fellow crafter Jenny. Mind you it took most of the day to get the template right to make sure all these folds folded in the right spots!

I had fun making this card, thanks for dropping by

Brigette

Oooh i could go a nice hot bubble bath right now. It's cold cold here today and the kids haven't stopped squabbling, honestly you would think they were brother and sister.

Anyways my hubby's Nanna has a birthday next week so i figured i better make her a card and figured i would enter another challenge whilst i was at it.

this card is being entered into the Kraftin Kimme wonderful wednesday challenge June 18

I have used a Kraftin Kimmie stamp called brigette and the spoil yourself sentiment is part of the stamp set. "It's your birthday"is computer generated.

I have coloured the stamp with Inktense pencils and mounted it on an easel card. I have also used some glossy accents on the bubbles to give them a real look.

Debutante

I had a custom order for a debutante card and this is the result!

I have used my brand new rubber stamp from Kraftin Kimmie called Calla Lily and since it was for a debutante i had to colour her in white. Urgh hate colouring dresses in white. they need to look shaded but not dirty. White but not flat in other words.

I have coloured her to the best of my ability with inktense pencils. Mounted the stamped image on an easel card. i punched the edge of the card with a martha stewart border punch (doliy lace i think it is called).

Embellished with some burgandy lace and pretty flowers from my stash and a little bit of beaded garland. 

i am entering this card into the kraftin kimmie wonderful wednesday challenge-anything goes.

Thanks for dropping by.

Ruby

Another challenge card

This card I am entering in the kit and clowder challenge for May- Flowers

(click on image to enlarge)

I have coloured a Sylvia Zet Wee stamp called ruby with inktense pencils.

I have made an easel card out of bluebell kaisercraft cardstock and mounted the image in the centre and embellished around the bottom edge with gorgeous flowers from my stash and from I Am Roses making sure to keep in with the colour scheme of fuchsia and blue. I have also used a flower on the bottom half of the easel card as the stopper for the top half to hold it in position. I was tried to make sure the flowers all fitted together and i think i nailed it.

The twine bow is from Whimsy Farm twine and i also adhered half pearls to the centres of the white flowers.

Thanks for stopping by
