Stella - one more candle

This is a card for a friend at work, she will be 50 soon, so I have been asked to do cards for her and because she has a cracking sense of humour a couple of them are gonna be Stella from Bugaboo.

This stamp is called One more candle, I have coloured with Promarkers and embellished with GD and fluffy stuff, The DP is from forever friends, I added a scallop border, some rose ribbon and a flower and pearl, the sentiments are from Ladybugcraftsink and Hobby paleis.

Birthday/Retirement

I am loving these new Digi's from Ladybugcraftsink, they are so versatile and great for Mother's Day, retirements and Birthdays. This image is called Garden Bench Delight I have coloured with a mixture of Promarkers and prisma pencils and some Tim Holtz ink for the sky, I then matted to some pink gingham CS and hand sewed around the edge, I used a craft concepts embossing folder called Budding vine. The DP is from Forever friends, I have used a sentiment strip from Pink Petticoat and curved it across the card. I finished off with some gems for the centre of the flowers, some punched out butterflies, pearls and some flowers from Do crafts. The other sentiment is computer generated.

Aged to perfection

I know I haven't been about blogland lately, I am sorry about that. I have been having trouble with my internet connection the last 2 weeks and I finally got it sorted today thank goodness.

The weather is horrid, I had to abandon my car on the way home from work on Saturday night, my car just wouldn't grip and I didn't want to burn the clutch out so I left it as did many others and walked home, I left work at 8pm and didn't get home until 10.30pm and usually it's a 15 minute drive. When I got home my Hubby said we couldn't leave the car where I left it as it would get broken in to, so we set off again and walked to fetch it. Hubby pushed me most of the way home. There is no way the roads had been gritted, any way thank goodness I now have 5 days off work.

My card is a request from a friend at work.

Romantic Stroll

I was asked to do an Anniversary card for a friend at work and she wanted a beach theme. I always start to panic when my customers want specific theme's, it makes me go all hot lol. Anyway an image popped in my head which I knew I had seen on the fab Sue's blog, she drew this image herself, she is so so talented and I visit her blog often for tips and techniques and of course the odd freebie.

I have coloured this image with prisma pencils blended with Sansodor, and then I decided to frame it using a sizzix frame die. The DP is from Dovecraft, I added a button and some twine and a heart charm. The circle sentiment is from Cuddly Buddly and the rest are computer generated by me. The hearts are die cut with a nellie die and the zigzag border is a MS punch.

She loved the card and so did her Hubby.

Thanks Sue for the freebie.
