Challenge 26





I have been asked to make a 1st birthday card, so I have designed it so I can enter Copic Challenge 26.
The copic pens I used are BG05,B05,R59,G14,G99,R00 which where great colours to work with as the card is for a boy. The bear and balloons image is from Daisy & Dandelion stamps and I have coloured the wood number 1 with the coordinating copic pen. To make this is even more special I have continued to decorate the inside, to create a memorable card.



Many thanks for looking.

Challenge #40

Inside



Whiff of Joy Challenge #40, was to use any Whiff of Joy stamp and follow a sketch set out by Donalda. I was asked to make an anniversary card for a friend, so this is the card I have made for this challenge. I used sitting summer Willow stamp, Oakley and the bench stamp is from magnolia, I have coloured the images with copic pens using (C1,C3,RV21,RV23,Y11,E31,E35,R00). The cardstock is The Luxury Stack by DCWV, and pink and brown pearlescent card. I used my cricut machine for the matting and layering shapes and added punched out hearts. I made some roses out of matching ribbon and finally I attached a silver heart charm, and continued the theme to the inside of the card.

Copic Challenge 16







It’s my granddaughter’s 1st birthday this Friday and this is the card I have made for her and entered it in the Copic challenge 16. I did not have the colours they suggested, so the ones I used to colour the magnolia image were similar which were RV13, RV23, Y02, Y11, E31, E35 and E21. The cardstock is pink bazzil and I found a piece of two toned patterned card, I have also used pink and yellow ribbon and fixed them together. I used my cricut machine to cut out the frames for matting and laying the image and for the wording. To finish the card I have added silver charms, and yellow brads in the middle of the flowers.


Thank you for looking.

Whiff of Joy Challenge 30


Inside of card


Willow with sun hat image.



For the Whiff of joy challenge 30 Friendship, I stamped Willow with sun hat image and then used disco black embossing powder to give it a bit of sparkle. I coloured the image using copic pens R00, E71, E47, B02 and BG05. The cardstock is blue Bazzil and the patterned paper is brown quilt from the Timeless collection. I have also stamped swirls and the word friend on the inside of the card. Then used Nestabilities for matting and laying the image, swirls and the word friend. For the finishing touch I then added paper lace, jewels which I glued on coloured gems, blue stickles and a flower.


Thank you for looking.

Copic Challenge #13 Maddy's sketch

This week Copic challenge 13 is Maddy’s sketch, so for this challenge I have designed my husband’s birthday card. Which I have made in time as it is his birthday tomorrow. So I must not let him see my blog today otherwise he will see his card before I get chance to give it to him.

For the bear image I have used copic pens B23, B32, E71, RV21 and for the train YG63, YG67, BV23, C7, R27. The cardstock is green Bazzil and I had left over bits of striped patterned paper. I used my cricut machine to cut out all the different shapes, and then added paper lace and button embellishments.


Thank you for looking.

Copic Challenge #12


The Copic Challenge #12 was to use the colours R20, E33 and E57, but I only had E33. So I used alternative colours R00, E21, E47 and Marvy pens for the watercolour scenery. The cardstock is American Crafts that is double sided which makes it easy to coordinate, I added paper lace that I coloured to match. Then I punched out in the same cardstock an envelope shape and also used flowers and star gems for the finishing touch.

Everyone’s birthday seems to come at once, now its my husband’s sister birthday. So I made this card for her, I was determined to enter it in this challenge. But I am pushing it to enter it on time, where does the time go. Now I must go and make another card this time for my husband, at least get it prepared so hopefully I can enter another challenge.

Thank you for looking.

Uncle card


I made this card for my husband uncle, I did not have time for entering it for any challenges. But I thought I would still add it to my blog.
