Can't help falling in love!

Hi crafters,
This is my Wedding Anniversary card for hubby-we celebrate 19 years of wedded bliss on Monday! Can't believe it's been that long! Our first dance was to Elvis as I am a big fan, so when I saw this stencil recently at Port Sunlight, I had to have it!!
I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it but thanks to our last cardmaking workshop, when we played with distress inks, I knew what to do!
I inked the stencil with Antique Linen and Dusty Concord, then stamped a swirl around the edges and embossed it with some holographic embossing powder. Bit different but I'm really pleased with how it turned out!
I added some music notes and ribbon, embossed the background and printed out some words from the song we danced to lol.
I'd like to enter this card in the 'Anything Goes' challenge at Crafting From The Heart.
I hope hubby likes it!
Thanks for looking,
Hugs, Karen xx

Little sis card

Hi crafters,
This is a card I made for my sister's birthday and I've used one of my favourite girly stamps, Uptown Girls from Stamping Bella.
I've used some lotv and Basic Grey papers and paper pieced the dresses to match!
I've used some plain white flowers and added some punched flowers to the centres with a pearl. I added glossy accent to their wine glasses and added some blusher with chalk- still can't use promarkers to give rosy cheeks!  A couple of polka dot buttons, a charm and pearls finished off the card.
I'd like to enter this card in the creativecardcrew challenge which is 'Girly'.

Cute Welsh Wedding

Hi crafters,
I made this wedding card for a friend this week and used a fold that I learnt at my workshop ages ago and I haven't used it for ages! Definitely going to use it again though now I've found the instructions!
I used a LOTV stamp and coloured it with my promarkers.  I used various embossing folders and added a matching ribbon, glitter and flowers, of course!
I added a sentiment with the name of the couple getting married as well as the wedding date. You can just about see it as it was really difficult to take a photo of the card because of all the folds!
I'd like to enter this card in the Passion for Promarkers challenge which is 'so sentimental'.

Mother's Day Card

Hi crafters,
I've got a mother's day card to show you using a gorgeous house mouse stamp from the Spring Daffodil unmounted set.
I've coloured it in with my promarkers and added stickles to the flowers.
To help get my mojo back, I used one of the sketches from Deconstructing Jen number 125 which are great. I used some of the lovely Lili of the Valley papers, a bit of bling on the ribbon and some pearls finished off the card.  I embossed one of the layers to give the card some depth and added the little mouse in the corner just for fun! Well, I'd coloured him in so I was determined to add it to the card somehow!
I'd like to enter my card in this week's challenge at Passion for Promarkers  which is 'embossing'.

CAS Card-ish?!!

Hi crafters,
This is a card I made using a great digi from the All Dressed up shop and it's called 'Love to shop'. I coloured it in with my promarkers and I had a CAS card in mind so I limited my colours to purple and blue. When I came to put the card together though I just kept adding things as I felt it needed something in the corner,  then the other side looked bare, so I added more in that corner and I realised I just can't do the CAS thing!!
Oh well,  I tried lol!
I'd like to enter my card in the Passion for Promarkers challenge which is to 'make it digital'.
Thanks for popping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend,
Hugs, Karen xx
                                     

New Baby Boy Card for Horse Lovers!

Hi crafters,
I've got a New Baby card to show you but it's a bit different to my usual new baby cards! I was asked to make this card for people who love horses so this digi stamp was perfect. It's one of Lisa's gorgeous creations from 'Ella's Designs'. I have decoupaged the image and used some gorgeous backing papers from Lili of the Valley.
I added a doily, some heart pearls and a couple of buttons and I hope I've made it look like a new baby boy card!!
I'd like to enter this card in thePapertake Weekly Challenge 'With a Heart'.

That sketch again!

Hi crafters,
I've got a new baby card to show you with a favourite sketch that I've used a few times now!
It's using the Magnolia stork stamp which I coloured with my promarkers and I've used a variety of embossing folders on the white card which is great for using up all those bits of card I've got in the drawer!  I added some ribbon and glitter, die cut the letters for the baby's name and it was done.
I'd like to enter my card in the 'Anything Goes' challenge on the Passion for Promarkers blogspot.

I made a couple more whilst I was colouring in, one in pink and one in yellow, I've just left room for baby's name or just a sentiment.
Thanks for looking,
Hugs, Karen
