Simple in Black & White

Sorry I'm a bit late in posting this card. I got the shape/idea from a card that Jackie Huckstep had made and then made it my own. Black and white always looks so good doesn't it? The centre cross over bit was embossed with a cuttlebug folder and the white sheet inserts behind and can be pulled out for the sentiment.

Always difficult.... crafting for a crafter!

It's always really difficult making a card for a fellow crafter - this one was for a demonstrator as well! However, Helen Meighan loves Daisies and this is one flower we did on a Jane Gill's class. It's very pale and soft - for those of you who know Helen, you'll know that she makes very pretty, soft cards, hope she liked it.

The Daisy was formed from a Woodware Daisy Punch (x2). The centre is then chalked to give a little green tinge and the yellow "dot" was cupped with an embossing tool. The leaves were from a Leone-Em punch. Scalloped and plain ovals and stamp - Stampin Up.

Daring Card Makers Anniversary Challenge

This is my entry for the Daring Cardmakers Challenge www. daringcardmakers.blogspot.com - this week the challenge is "Anniversary". I know the design of this secret message card I originally did on a Kim Fee course many moons ago and it's one I've used lots of times.

Ding Dong... The Bells Are Gonna Chime...

This just has to be one of my favourite stamps and up until recently I've always used gold embossing powder - never liked it much, too messy and left "bits" everywhere. But I just bought the new Gold Stazon and yabadabadoo it's F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C! Crisp, clean and great images first time with no "bits"!

Princess Pink & Sparkly

Not sure what this pretty little Tilda is called as I borrowed it off my mate SarahK but she so reminded me of my little niece, Freya who is going to be four next week. I painted the Tilda with my distress inks - antique linen for the hair and skin and spun sugar for her dress. The background papers are Kaiser - Wish Upon, from CraftsULove. Loads of bling and glitter glue to give it all that sparkle. Hope she likes it...

No Punches.....The Real Thing

At the weekend I visited one of my very very favourite places in the whole wide world - Hever Castle. As most of you know, I just love my floral punch craft, so I just had to take some close-up photos of these little beauties to give me a bit of help with the colouring.

Lady (doesn't) Sings the Blues....

I was asked to make a birthday card for a lady Chelsea supporter - yeah I know, it's another Chelsea card, but I can't help it if all my friends have taste.....

The dress and handbag were cut out using Woodware punches, the shoes and footballs Quickutz dies and of course, bazzill card.

Now, how many of you are old enough to remember the film???????
