Passion For Promarkers

Here is my entry for this weeks challenge. The theme for this week was Tulip Yellow, Baby Pink and had to have stitching in it. As soon as i seen the colours i jumped up and down as i had the perfect image for it.... then i seen the stitching element. ive never done it before and i dont have a pokey tool so i couldnt pierce the card so i improvised... i have to say im not that impressed with it, but here it is

Monday Mania

Here is my entry for this weeks Monday Mania, this weeks theme was monochrome with a twist, the twist being you could use any colour, i chose to use shades of browns to give a sepia feel. Firstly I stamped and coloured my Stella stamp in browns and then cut her out and stucker her to a vintage brown paperstock from K&Co then finnished off with the "sweet" sentiment in the same brown ink as the image, and then some blobs of copper glitter glue

LGS 20th Feb

Hi all, here is my entry for this weeks sketch on craftbubble, this weeks theme was animals. I had a really crafty day so i made 2 cards lol
the first is using the little mice from the crafters companion summer collection. First i stamped the rain drops onto the backing card with the image masking to make the rain behind her, i then stamped anc coloured her in with watercolours. The papers are from my K&Co papers then the sentiment and buterfly embelishment were added.

The second card I made uses tartan papers that I have kicking about my craft box which tie in perfectly with my Scottish Lofty stamps, just followed the same layout as above

Anniversary

Good morning folks, had quite a crafty morning so far. Its Graemes mum and dads anniversary on monday so heres the card ive made for them. The image is one of The Greeting Farms digis called Anya Valentine but i thought it would go perfectly as an anniversary card. I chalked the card with brick red versa magic then stuck some of the free papers that were in Februarys issue of cardmaking and papercraft. I coloured the image with promarkers... i still havent perfected the shadding yet lol, then just added the sentement and a few blobs of red glitter glue et voila!

Monday Mania

Here is my entry for Club Anya and Friends. It is prince Ian digi stamp coloured with promarkers ( i know i still need to work on my shading with his hair) then i have matted the image onto silver mirr board (that came out of a perfume gift set i got for my christmas (how good am i recycling lol) then onto an a6 card that ive chalked with versa magic and then the image stamped at the bottom. I found this card quite easy to make even though you werent aloud to use red or pink, im quite chuffed with this one =)

LGS 6th Feb

Well here is my entry for this weeks sketch, not my best, was alot harder then i thought it would be. I think my cards still look a little basic, i am trying to hang off till the secc craft fair to see it i can get some embossing folders and embelishments on the cheep lol but its not till the first week in march! argh!!! This weeks twist was wings, hense the angel theme. The stamp has been embosed with jet black powder and then mounted onto my base card


I have also made this card for my sister to give to her photographer as a thanks for the photos shes gave her for her folio. Im not involved in anymore shoots which im gutted about lol as i loved doing the shoot out at Glasgow Uni (my display picture) which was 1930's glamour. Her next shoot is on sunday which is a vintage underwear shoot, she managed to find a model that would do it for her and found the basque etc for the shoot, her final shoot next wednesday is vintage ballroom, so shes got one of our friends to do this one so she will have her hair in a fancy up do and shes got a full lenght evening gown, very art deco looking.
Anyway about the card, i have just stamped the images onto the card then gave the words a halo with my promarkers then went over the lines of the wings with diamond stickles. I think this makes the card look alot softer then the one above even though the same stamps were used.


I shall no doubt be back on later or tomorow morning as Graeme has asked me to make his dad a birthday card and an aniversary card eek! I have found the perfect stamp for the aniversary card but have no clue what to do for his birthday card lol, this should be fun lol
