Mother's Birthday Card.

Well just for a change I decided to put a Birthday Card on my blog.

This is a card for my Mother's Birthday.

The main card is Pearlised card which I used on my Hogie Board to make the criss cross patterns.

I used a Martha Stewart Doilie Lace Punch for the centre pattern then embellished it with gems.

The corners are cuttlebug cutting dies.

The butterflies are made from parchment paper with embossing on the wings, finishing with liquid pearls on the criss cross patterns and the body of the butterflies.

CAROL'S Challenge- Lace and Ribbon.

This is my card for Carol's Challenge. I used a paper doilie for the lace part.

The circle easel card is a freebie template out of my craft mag. The stamp is a Fuzzy Moon stamp which I coloured with my Spectrum Noir pens, I added Pinflair Iced Diamond to the furry parts on his hat to make it more 3D, and added stickles glitter to the doilie.

I used a snow flake embossing folder for the base then added a bow made from organza ribbon.

Margaret's Challenge...Black and White..

The centre piece in this card is an origami snowflake made out of a sheet of parchment covered in white glitter...

The sentiment and the holly corner pieces are double sided sticky peel off's which I also covered in white glitter...

Simple if you like origami and have a lot of patience..

Hazels Challenge...Pearls and Swirls..

This card for Hazel's challenge was an easy one for me..

The tree is an embossing folder which is my swirls,,The pearls I used are from a fake pearl necklace..

Finishing off with sticky gems and a sentiment...

Sally's Challenge...Winter Sport...Skating, Sledging or Skiing

Well back to Parchment for this Challenge..

This is for Sally's Challenge..

I decided to use this image that a good friend sent to me as I had no images to go with..

I used blendable pencils for my colouring adding embossed snowflakes to make it into a snowy scene.

I made a simple edging of my own choice...finishing off with a gem in each corner and a peel off sentiment.

Lizzies Challenge..Two or More Folds..

Sorry,Sorry,Sorry..

So Sorry girls for being ever so late for my challenges..

Here is my first late card which was for Lizzies Challenge..

The Decoupage images are from a Hunkydory kit...

I used a triple twisted easel card template from BCE finishing with peel offs and stickles.

SYLVIE'S CHALLENGE.....SNOWFLAKES.

Well here is my latest parchment card...Hope it is to your liking.

Can I keep it up I wonder...I certainly will be trying.

Embossing, and cutting is all I had to do on this card...Oh and a bit of dorsing on the reverse.

Adding a final touch with peel off's.

Pinky's Challenge...A CRITTER.

Hi Ladies, sorry about the underlines if anyone knows how to get rid of it please tell me.

This is a card that I first did for a friend of mine a couple of Christmases ago.

It is made from parchment with dorso colouring on the background.

I had a little bit of colouring to do on the polar bear but most of it is embossed.

I embossed the snowflakes then added glitter to highlight them.

I cut out an aperture with my X cut oval cutter applying glitter around the edge, then mounted my polar bear in the oval aperture.

I then finished off with a sentiment.

I will hopefully be doing parchment for my future cards as it is easier for me to do.

Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoy making them.

KERYNS CHALLENGE ....THIN...

Well here we are another year starts and plenty more challenges ahead...

Sorry I missed the last two cards...hand was still giving me jip...

Will probably try to get them done and put them on my blog in the near future..

My card for Keryns challenge is a template that I cut out with my craft robo....

The red parts are coloured parchment cut out with the craft robo,

then embossed through my big shot.

I then finished with a green star centre and a gem...

CHRISTMAS CARD CLUB. Snow or Snowman/Women.

For this challenge thought I would use an image from My Papercraft Library Cd's .

I then coloured in the image with my Spectrum Noir Pens.

Over the top of the image I attached a sheet of snowy acetate.

My Spellbinders are the main shaping and I used a corner punch to insert the corners of the gold mirror card.

The finishing touches where a verse topper, glitter on the edges of the inner shape circled with peel off's and ribbon made into a bow.

Not a bad effort with someone with only one hand to use, good job I am ambidextrous.

Sorry I forgot to tell you all about my operation.
