Wedding Card and Candle

Hi crafters,
I've been a bit of a rubbish blogger lately!  A combination of work being manic,  then our family holiday and then a lot of card orders are to blame lol! Anyway,  I'm back with a wedding card I've made and I decided to make a matching candle to go with it!
I've used a digi image from Tiddly Inks called 'You and me' and coloured it with my promarkers.

I also managed to get the names and wedding date on to the candle which I was really pleased about!

The flowers are fromWOC of course, the backing paper is from Maja Design and I've embossed the white card with a heart embossing folder.  I made a box for the card and used my Spellbinders heart die to cut out an aperture. I wrapped the candle in some cellophane to finish it off.

I'd like to enter my card in this week's Passion for Promarkers challenge which is ' summer lovin' .
Thanks for dropping by and I'll try and post again soon. Unfortunately as everything went a bit manic before my holiday I forgot to take photos of all the cards I'd made! Can't believe I did that, so annoying!
Anyway, hopefully I'll have another card to show you soon!
Hugs, Karen xx

Dad's Shed

Hi lovely crafters,
This is my Father's Day card for this year! My Dad spends hours in his shed and so this digi image from Digistamp Boutique was perfect for him.  It took me ages to colour in all that wood with my promarkers but I really enjoyed it!
I had to add the bees because he's just discovered a nest in his beloved shed lol! So hopefully he'll have a little chuckle at them!
It's an easel style card and I've inked the layers with Tim Holtz Antique Linen and added some die cut grass and greenery along the top.

Stencilling!

Hi crafters,
I saw a lot of stencilled cards at a recent craft show and thought I'd have a go after treating myself to a new palette knife!
I embossed the background and even attempted a pierced layer. I found matching the corners a bit tricky so I hid them with the black pearls lol!
I added some glitter on the letters and a tassel finished off the card.
I was quite pleased with it really - nice to try a different technique every now and then.

Wedding card for doctors!

Hi crafters,
I'm back with a wedding card I was asked to make for a couple who are both doctors! This was a difficult challenge but then I coloured this digi image and left the groom's jacket white to look like a doctor's coat lol! Do you think I got away with it?
I coloured the image with my promarkers although there was only hair and skin to colour in really!
I added my WOC flowers, some punched leaves and I embossed the card behind the image.
I borrowed the layout from Lisa again at Ella's Design  (thanks hun, what would I do without you ) and added the date and names to make the card extra special.
I'd like to enter my card in the Passion for Promarkers challenge which is 'no sentiment '.
I hope you like my card and thanks for looking,
Hugs, Karen xx

Pamper yourself!

Hi crafters,
I bought this stamp ages ago but only just got round to inking it! Don't know why because it was great to colour in with my promarkers!
This card is the same colour scheme as my last card as I had a piece of the Maja Design papers left over! I added a doily and some WOC flowers with a flourish die instead of leaves for a change.  I added some stickles to the bubbles and some lace finished off the card!

Hubby's Card!

Hi crafters,
This was my card for hubby for our Wedding Anniversary this week (omg, 20 years since our special day- can't quite believe it!)
I've made a swing type card that we did at our recent workshop with a topper from Lisa's  'Animal Antics ' CD.

I've used Sue Wilson's pierced fishtail dies, some small wooden hearts and a blue heart brad I found in my stash!

This pic shows how the folds work (hopefully! ).

I'd like to enter my card in the Creative Inspirations challenge which is 'Cute critters'.

Thanks for popping by,

Card for little sis!

Hi crafters,
I've made this card for my sister's Birthday and I tried a different way of colouring with my promarkers.  I've seen some gorgeous images coloured with distress inks and so I tried to get the same effect with my promarkers.  I don't know if I achieved it but I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out!
I've used a Stamping Bella image and a Go Kreate die for the base card. The papers are from Maja Design and I've added some lace,  a doily and some WOC flowers.  I added a charm to the tag which is tucked in behind the image. Some glitter (of course) and some pearls finished it off.

 Here's a view of the tag which I've stamped with an LOTV sentiment.

I'd like to enter my card in this week's Passion for Promarkers challenge which is ' Tag you're it'.
