My Fake Plants!

Here is another humerous card I have made using the wonderful Bugaboo digi stamps.  I hope it makes you smile.

This is typical of me as for years I have mixed fake flowers with real flowers in my gardens.  Nobody realised until I forgot to remove them in the Autumn one year.  Now I openly admit it!!!

My dotty paper is from Pink Petticoat and I have embossed the yellow strip using a folder.  My image has been coloured with promarkers and a bit of crystal glaze.  The butterfly is punched, coloured with a promarker and some glitter glue added.

When Life Gives You Lemons...

You might have noticed that my favourite images to use for my cards are people rather than animals as I find them easier to colour.  Not only that, although I like animals I prefer the social contact with people.

My digi image today is from Bugaboo and I have coloured her with promarkers with a bit of crystal glaze added too.  If you know me, you will also know that she is holding my 'tipple of choice'!!!  The background papers are from Pink Petticoat which go with the sentiment perfectly.

Internet Down!

I thought it was about time I made a humerous card and couldn't resist using this Bugaboo digi stamp.  I coloured my image with promarkers and a touch of crystal glaze on the water.  I backed it with Kraft cardstock to match the sink unit.  I used some old papers from Pink Petticoat on my base card and added some grossgrain ribbon.  I found a couple of flower buttons and after removing the shanks I added them to my card, along with a sentiment from Hunkydory.

For You With Love

For this card I knew what design paper I wanted to use and based my colouring (with promarkers) on this.  The image and sentiment tag stamps are from LOTV and the design papers from Pink Petticoat.  I used a new border die across the middle panel, love it.  I stamped, coloured and die cut my flowers from The Works and added some glitter glue.

Monochromatic Christmas

Another Christmas card for the box featuring one of my favourite digi stamps which I have coloured with promarkers, glitter glue, liquid pearls and crystal glaze.  I have added a ribbon, snowflake charm and sentiment tag.  I have distressed and inked around the edge of the die cut tag and added a button.  When I was hand cutting the mats I thought I would glue the cut off corners onto the base mat as I thought it carried the shape throughout.

Yay!  I managed to include all the elements on the bingo grid!

Floral Fold-Back Card

 

 

 

Today I have a fold-back floral card to show you.  My Bugaboo image has been coloured with promarkers and layered using a scallop die.  The floral die cut panel was a magazine freebie.  The backing paper is from Pink Petticoat (no longer available).  I made a tag using a Stampin Up stamp and a brad.  A few gems finish it off.

A Sister Is...

This is the card I made for my granddaughter Megan when her baby sister Sapphire was born.  Inside it says "Congratulations On Being Promoted To BIG Sister" which I thought was very appropriate as Megan is now 13 years old.

To start I die cut my card base and backing paper which is from Pink Petticoat (now closed down).  My digi stamp is from Mo's Digital Pencil and has been coloured with promarkers and then die cut.  I went around the edge with a pen so it would stand out a bit.  The sentiment has been stamped, die cut and edged using a pen.  Finally I added some paper flowers and placed gems in the centres.

Believe

Today I have made a cute little fairy card using a digi stamp from Whoopsi Daisy and colouring her with promarkers adding glamour dust to her wings.  I then attached a stamped tag with a brad.  The gorgeous papers are from Pink Petticoat and sadly no longer available.  A few large pearls from my stash finishes the card off.
