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'.
Thanks for looking,
Hugs, Karen xx

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,

Pink again!!

Hello bloggers!
My card today is one I made for my niece's birthday. I seem to have gone for pink again but I really enjoyed colouring this image with my promarkers, although I don't think I got her hair quite right. Oh well, must keep practising!  I added plenty of stickles on the wings and added a few gems by the flowers which are all from WOC. There is a tag hidden behind the image which I hope she found!!
I'd like to enter my card in the Passion for Promarkers challenge which is "just a fairytale".
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like my card,
Hugs, Karen

What? No flowers?!!

Hi crafters,
This was a card that was ordered by someone at work who wanted a 50th birthday card - nothing too flowery! What a challenge that was, I was desperate to put maybe a couple of flowers on it but I resisted and used pearls as a bit of bling instead!  I coloured the image with my promarkers/flexmarkers and tried to keep it quite subtle. I then embossed the various layers with different embossing folders and used a brilliant layout that I got from the fantastic cardmaking workshop I go to with Sylvia and Lisa from Ella's Design.
I'd like to enter my card in the Passion for Promarkers which is 'Clean and simple'.
I hope you like my card and thanks for looking,

Pair of heels

Hi crafters,
I hope you had a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!
I'm afraid I didn't make as many Christmas cards this year as I'd hoped- never mind, there's always next year!!
This is a card I made for a friend who had a birthday just before Christmas.  I've used the shoe stamp from 'Stamps by Chloe' and I stamped and embossed it on 3 different backing papers. I made matching flowers from Chloe's stamps and used my Go Kreate die to make the base card. I added some feathers and a pearl button to the shoe and finished off with a sentiment.
I'd like to enter this card in the 'Anything Goes' challenge at Creative Inspirations'.
Thanks for looking,

Anything Goes

Lili of the Valley

Hi Crafters,

I'm here with a Welsh Birthday card which is an easel card - haven't made an easel card for ages and I'd forgotten how nice they were to make!  I've used a paper pad from Lili of the Valley called 'Always and Forever' which is absolutely gorgeous - every sheet is lovely (almost too nice to use)!  I've used one of their stamps as well and coloured it in with my promarkers.  I added some glossy accents to the jam jar and added a doily behind the image to finish it off.
I'd like to enter my card in the 'Anything Goes' challenge on the LOTV 'Ideas to Inspire' blog.  Thanks for looking and I hope you like my card!
Hugs, Karen xx

Happy Anniversary House Mouse!

Hi Crafters,

Here's a card I made for my brother and sister in law's Anniversary.  I printed off a gorgeous image from the House Mouse Triple CD and also printed some matching backing paper.  I embossed the centre panel and used a Martha Stewart heart punch for the border.  I made my own flowers and distressed all the paper edges with a Tim Holtz distress ink - Stormy Sky. I also punched the smaller flowers from the backing paper so that everything matched! I added a bit of glitter to the image, tied some ribbon around the panel and stamped an LOTV sentiment.  I'd like to enter my card in the House Mouse and Friends 'Monochrome' challenge. Hope you like my card and thanks for looking,
Hugs, Karen xx
