Fishing Valentine


For a male themed valentines card I have used a great freebie digital image from Designed 2 Delight with some of my most favourite masculine papers by Trimcraft and K & Co.

The image has been coloured in with Promarkers. I have used the Martha Stewart unch on the spotty paper to add some more hearts but in a muted way suitable for a man.

The sentiment is a digi from Glitterbabe and has been cut out using a Quickutz cookie cutter die set.

Glitterbabe Daffodil


This lovely bright card has been made using a Daffodil digi from Glitterbabe and the current sketch from Unscripted Sketches.

The image has been coloured in with Promarkers. The yellow paper is Basic Grey and the floral paper is from the DCWV Citrus Mat Stack. The spotty orange the image is mounted on has been recycled from the inside of a shop bought card which was given to me. I have used a Nestabilities labels die to cut the image and mat out and used a small brown inkpad to distress the edges.

I have added a lovely ruffled lace trim from my Rag Market shopping trip last week and cut a double layered flower out from the rest of the floral paper, mounting on 3d foam for added dimension. I have added various sized red gems to the flower centres and a small sentiment from my stash.

Glitterbabe #26 Rose Bouquet

I made this card using a lovely digi from Glitterbabe which was a freebie from I Did It Creations blog last week. They give away free digi's which the DT have used in their sample cards. I had intended to get this card linked up to go in the last challenge but the light was awful and I couldn't take a decent photo. I suppose that's what we get for the nights drawing in so early at this time of year, not great for taking photos with glitter on !!

Anyhoo I coloured the image with my trusty Promarkers and added lots of stickles to the flowers and bow. The base of the card is covered with a spotty paper from the Papermania Summer Blooms pad and the green is from the Papermania Rose Garden pad. Both have been edged with ink to make the panels stand out more. I used the sketch layout from Glitterbabe's current challenge #26 so I don't feel quite so bad about missing the IDIC challenge.

The lace is a gorgeous find. It was in one of those bargain bins at a local haberdashery as there should have been a ribbon threaded in the centre so was really cheap. It is great for me though as I can easily thread a narrow ribbon through it from my stash mountain. This ribbon was spotty on one side and plain on the other. The spots didn't look classy so I opted for the plain and I am much happier with it.

The little tag, I am so proud I used it. It is from Craftwork Cards and I bought a load of bumper items in the sale YEARS ago and I ashamed to say the majority has never been used. One of my missions this year is to use up stash that I have hoarded for a very long time, hopefully to make more cards for general occasions so that I have them ready and to send Thankyou cards more than I ever have. I never have any in my box so end up not sending them and I should break that habit. I have attached it on with a bit of paper string and attached one of my gorgeous but hoarded Papermania pearl brads.
