Watch Out Cupid's About

Good Morning Lovely Bloggers!

Long time no see!!!!

I've been busy doing a few behind the scenes things so I've 

not had much time for crafting or blogging!

 I'm hoping to get round all your lovely blogs soon!

Todays card is a Just Inklined sample!

The image is called Cupid You're Mine

Such a cute little Cupid & one very worried looking guy! lol

The paper I've used is from the British Paper Pad

available from Southfield Stationers. I got them 

 last year for all the Jubilee Celebrations etc!

I coloured the image with Promarkers then cut it out with a

X-Cut Heart Shaped Nesting Die. I had to use the largest die

so, to make a mat I drew around the outside of the die then cut it

out freehand. I did contemplate cutting all the scallops but......

I used the smallest die to cut out the red hearts then

sandwiched a red heart pin in the middle.

The red ribbon is from my stash!

I decorated the inside of the card too just for fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

April Showers & May Flowers!

Woo Hoo it's Sunday & that means it's time for another new challenge at
The Crafty Pad!

This week it's once again "The A Team's" chance to WoW you
with their wonderful creations!

The theme for this weeks challenge gives you the option of

#168 April Showers Bring May Flowers and/or  Sketch
We want to see those flowers in bloom on your papers,
your images or as embellishments on your creations!

Here's my card

The lovely Leesa gave us this great sketch to work with.

I rotated it a quarter turn & changed the shapes a little!

I used an A5 card blank as my base.

The design papers I have used are from one of the brand new 

digital paper sets at The Crafty Pad Designs!

Meadows Lane Delight

The image I have used is Penny Pamper!

She's just finished having her "April shower"! Lol

As you can see there are flowers on her shower cap, 

towel & the bathroom rug!

The pattern on the base layer of design paper resembles flowers &

the matt of the script design paper's wording is about flowers in full bloom

I've added some flowers that I made using Papermania paper flowers 

which I scrunched up, inked & then layered using brads as centres.

The image was printed onto some smooth card,

coloured using a mix of Promarkers & Flexmarkers, 

using Spring Colours to match with the papers

& rounded the corners with a punch 

The sentiment was created on my PC using a font called LMS Hippy Chick

which you can download for free from here, There are little

flowers on the letters if you look closely!

I also added some sheer ribbon, with a double bow, a heart shaped pearl stick pin 

& some Green Papermania Mosaic gems to further embellish my card!

I hope you like it!

Now it's time to pop on over to  The Crafty Pad to check out the 

fabulous work by the ladies of Team A!

Don't forget we also have the Anything Goes With A Crafty Pad Image

Here's a little card I made to cheer up a friend!

The image is from JW Illustrations but I'm not sure she's still available
I've had it printed out for ages but not coloured it up until now!
She was just perfect for what I wanted!
I apologise for the quality of the photos but they were taken at night & I had to
get this card sent off asap!

I coloured her up with promarkers, the layout was a sketch from 

goodness knows where! I wish I could remember!

I edged the DCWV papers with distress ink & added some buttton & 

punched butterfly embellishments!

The sentiment ticket is from The Crafty Pad

it's so versatile & can be used for so many occasions.

I added some glitz in the form of  Glamour Dust,

A Satin ribbon bow & a couple of stick pins

Here's a closer look at the glitz!

I decorated the inside of the card to match the outside!

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you like my card!
