Four legged friend!

Hi crafters,
Hope you're having a great weekend!
I made this Welsh birthday card for my niece and I've taken inspiration from Dawny P's style of cards which I think are great!
I've used papers and a stamp from LOTV, lots of gorgeous WOC flowers as well as some punched flowers dotted here and there!
I've coloured James the Bear with my promarkers and added glitter and pearls. I finished it with a border cut with my MS punch and added a lovely spotty ribbon and bow!
I'd like to enter my card in this week's Passion for Promarkers challenge which is 'four legged friends'.
Thanks for looking,
Hugs Karen xx

Anniversary Couple

Hi crafters,
The boys are back in school so we've got some sort of routine back, yeah! So I managed to sit down and make a card for my brother and sister-in-law!
I saw this image from Tiddly Inks and thought it would be great for wedding and anniversary cards. I've coloured it with my promarkers, distressed the edges with Antique Linen and found some backing papers to match my colour scheme.
I added some peach coloured lace from my stash, a couple of butterflies and pearls and some WOC flowers, of course!

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

     'Anything Goes' at Crafting from the Heart and
     'Anything Goes' at Papertake Weekly

Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Wedding dancers!

Hi crafters,
I've been doing a lot of wedding cards lately and here's the first one to show you. They asked for some 50's salsa dancers on the card so I printed this image of dancers in silhouette just incase I had the wrong dance lol!!
I used an X-cut die for the frame and some corner dies on the layer behind it. I added some WOC flowers, leaves from a Cheery Lynn die and some pins in matching colours.

I also made a presentation box for the card and used acetate and peel offs for the finishing touch.

I'd like to enter my card in the Papertake Weekly Challenge which is 'To Die for'.
I hope you like my card and thank you so much for looking,
Hugs, Karen xx

Sew special!

Hello again friends!
I'm back from my hols and ready to craft again lol!
I've made this birthday card for a friend who's just bought her first sewing machine. The image is from Lisa's CD 'A year in cards' and I printed off the digi image and coloured it with my promarkers to match the backing papers.  I added some coordinating buttons and threaded some matching thread on to the die cut reels. The tape measure ribbon added to the sewing theme! The sentiment is also from the CD and was perfect to finish off the card. I hope she likes it!
I'd like to enter my card in the 'button it' challenge at Passion for Promarkers.

Afternoon tea

Hi crafters,
We made a box frame card at our workshop on Saturday and I struggled a bit with it but I was determined to have another go and of course it was much easier the second time!
I wanted to make a leaving card for someone that was a bit different and I needed an afternoon tea theme so of course this image was perfect. It's from Lisa's CD 'A year in cards' and I've used one of the decoupage images. I made some bunting with some matching papers and added some glitter and pearls.
I'd like to enter my project in the 'Anything goes' challenge at Crafting from the heart.
Thanks for looking,
Hugs, Karen xx

Bon Voyage!

Hi crafters,
I'm back with another card and Lisa's CD saved the day again!
I needed a card for someone who's leaving work to go off on their travels and this image was ideal!
I added some string to the sentiment to make it look like a luggage label and added some flowers to match. A bit of glitter and ribbon and job done. This 'A Play on words' CD has been brilliant for all my recent cards- all the backing papers are from the cd too!
I'd like to enter my card in the 'Anything goes' challenge at Crafting from the heart.
See you soon,
Hugs, Karen xx

Get baking!

Hi crafters,
I'm really struggling in this gorgeous weather we're having, to sit down and craft! Not complaing though of course!
I've got so many cards to do at the moment so I've turned to Lisa's 'Play on Words' CD for help!
The first card is a Welsh 70th birthday card for a lady who loves to bake cakes so this image was perfect.
I added flowers in matching colours, some ribbon and pearls and then the card was done.

I made a box for the card as it was for a special birthday and some bunting gave it the 'bake off' feel!

I'd like to enter my card in the 'Anything goes' challenge at Fan-Tastic Tuesday.
Thanks for looking,
Hugs, Karen
