Rocking Horse

As soon as I saw this gorgeous image from Beccy Muir I just knew it had to be a rocking card.  I have decoupaged the image.  The stamp on the tag is from Stampin Up and I have added a bow.  I have also added a glittery punched heart.

The Rose

 

This is a stamped one-layer card.  The base card is actually cream in colour not white as it looks in the photo.  (Why do computers do that???).  Anyway the stamps are magazine freebies and I have used promarkers to colour the image.

 

One of my favourite flowers is the rose but not the pink and red ones, no, I prefer the yellow/orange/peach ones.

Peacock

I have been getting messy today, having a play with distress inks.

The stamps used are both recent magazine freebies and the satin ribbon from my stash.  I made a background using distress inks and brushing the colours on, as in a previous card that had to be rescued when it warped.  This time I used watercolour card and guess what?  It DIDN'T warp - yeh!!!  Having splattered the card with purple ink I stamped my peacock before cutting out with a fancy die.  I then coloured a bit of the feathers with a promarker pen.

Gift From Heaven Tilda

 

Today I had a little play with one of the Magnolia stamps I recently won.  I coloured her with promarkers and die cut her out with label dies.  The background papers are from Nitwits and I have made a panel that I used a border punch to cut the edges.  I topped this with gorgeous lace (very sparingly as it is one I don't like to cut into).  I then added a die cut flower with resin sentiment and three large gems.

Skipping Milly

A card for a child today.  This one features a pre-coloured digi stamp from Pink Gem which I have cut out with a stitched flag die.  The background paper is from my scrapbox again.  I have cut a border strip and topped it with heart ribbon and added a few buttons and a chipboard number.

New Home

This is a card I did a while back so I can't remember where the papers come from.  I think they might have been magazine freebies.  The background has been emossed at the top and paper added to the bottom  I also did some faux stitching around the edge.  The house is made from various shapes and layers that I hand cut.  The window features were doodled and the curtains were coloured with a promarker.  The sign is a peel-off and I fussy cut around it.  The flowers are punched and a gem added to the centres.

Braless!

 

A funny card today featuring one of my favourite digi stamps from Bugaboo which I have coloured with promarkers.  The background paper is a very old one from Papermania (bought about 12 yrs ago).  I have added an embossed panel and die cut circle and a few card candi.
