Anniversary Flowers

Hi,
Just thought I'd share this little card I made for my Sister and Brother in Law.
I have seen a few like this over on Pinterest and thought I'd take a try. The lattice is a Spellbinder die, I cut the aperture using another SB die. Then taking a piece of acetate I placed my flowers down, once happy I removed excess and attached to the front of the card.




 
 
I added sprightly sprigs from Verve and a few gems and pearls. The sentiment is Verve too.
 
 
Thanks for stopping by.

MSC Challenge 155 USA Mothers Day

Well it's that time again for another challenge over at www.myshericrafts.blogspot.com . This time my good friend Sandy has chosen the theme of Mothers Day as it is so soon over in the US. We have had ours already so she has also included a side note of a Girly Card as some people may no longer have their Mother with them and there is always a good friend you can post to.

Here is my card, it is a 6x6 and today I have used a cute Magnolia image on there. I chose to give her yellow leggings to match the daffodil which I also picked up in the doily, lace and glitter strip down the left side. That strip of pink flower paper is the last I have and I have hung on to it for ages. The base paper believe it or not is pink too even though it looks a bit coral in this photo! I embossed that first. I added liquid pearl dots in the corners and a few pearls too. The sentiment I printed out as my stamp was too large for the circle.


Now its your turn to join in with us, but first check out the girls and leave a little love.

VLV April #2 sketch

I decided to join in again over at http://vlvsketches.blogspot.co.uk/ . I needed a card for someone I know going in to hospital for a fairly big operation and wanted to let her know she'd be missed whilst recovering.

The card is a 6x6 and I have used a Webster's pages paper along with Kaisercraft plain cardstock. I added Verve sequins and the sentiment too.

Thanks for stopping by today.   Sue

Viva La Verve #1

 
Hello,
Today I decided to enter in to www.vlvsketches.blogspot.com on their April sketch #1.
 
I really liked the sketch and thought I could do something with it. I have made a small A5 card using papers from my stash along with a couple of Verve dies and a sentiment. The sequins are Verve too in blue but they are picking up the colours from around them.
 
 
I will put the card in my box ready for when it is needed. Thanks for stopping by today.

Challenge 154 National Humor Month.

Hi There,
It's time again for a new challenge over at www.myshericrafts.blogspot.com . Sarah has asked us to use the theme of Humor in our cards today. You will see when you visit the site some cracking styles on show.

Here is my take, it uses a Saturated Canary image of a very slim young lady carrying her lunch. I have been doing Slimming World lately and you just can't believe how much food you can eat! Those who know about Slimming World will know you have to keep in check your "syn's" per day. You can have a home made burger with salad on a wholemeal bap and it would cost you 0 syn's you just can't loose!! well you will loose weight.




The Card is a 6x6 and I took the white dot paper and die cut a few stars out of it, then I hand stitched it to a denim paper which I ruffed the edges of that went on to the card base using foam pads. The image I coloured using Promarkers and matted that on to a denim oval. I used a SB die to make the flowers. The sentiment I printed off the PC.

Now it's your turn to join in the fun and show us your funny side.

Sue
