Another Adorable

Another card using the 'Adorables' stamp collection and CD for the backing paper. This time I have made a general card easel style for a little girl, rather than a Christmas card.

Again I have coloured using Promarkers - I really am addicted to using these pens at the moment. I used a Martha Stewart edging punch to make a border for the envelope edges. The envelope template came from the CD. For the sentement I used a Nestabilities label and after embossing I coloured the edge again with a Promarker to give a layered effect.

FORE!

This is a card for a family member - why is it I'm always on the last minute with family cards!

The stamp is from the 'Flippin Men' series and I have used Promarkers again to colour in with several shades of grey. I have used a heavy weight acetate for the front of the card so I could get a good effect with the backside image.

The black panel on the front was embossed with one of the 'Glitter Girls' border panels.

'Adorable's'

Having returned home from a lovely weeks holiday in Northumberland, I was delighted to find my new CD and stamps from the 'Adorables' collection from Crafters Companion and Jayne Nestarenko.

I couldn't wait to start playing and was spoilt for choice. This is my first card using these stamps and backing papers. The images were coloured with Promarkers and a little glitter added to the white fur on the girls coat. On the background I stamped the Christmas trees in two sizes with forest green Stazon and then just added a little water colour to give depth. For the snow I used Polar White Flower Soft.

Cute cards

This weekend I finally got the chance to have a play with some of my cute stamps. The top two cards were made from my recent purchase S.W.A.L.K stamps and CD from Crafters Companion. I think these stamps are gorgeous and lend themselves to many different occasions.

The little boy is from a series of stamps from Olivers Orchard, Buzzcraft.

On these images I have used Promarkers and watercolour pens. The edges of the die cut backgrounds have been coloured using distress inks.
