The corners are cuttlebug dies, i've used nesties for the frame & greeting the Lace & ribbon are from my stash serves me right for colouring in willy nilly last week now i need to go hunting for matching papers for the next one.

Another card with Joy sitting

Hi all back again with a card this time probably could of done with another layer but couldn't bring myself to cover too much of the paper up, it's a fab colour green the pic doesn't do it justice.
a/Sugar nellies Joy sitting again only printing a section of her out this time she's coloured in with copics. i've used Mirricard for the frame which was cut out using scalloped oval nesties & embossed with the swiss dots embossing folder. The ribbon slider is also a nesties tag. I've overlayed a piece of lace with checked ribbon. Flowers are from Wild orchid crafts, the leaves are cut using the Martha Stewart frond punch & the stem gems are from my stash.

Twisted Easel card

Hi all just finished this card went for the Twisted Easel still prefer the original fold i'm afraid the opening is a bit off putting could just be because i'm a lefthander.

For this card i've used Joy sitting a digi stamp by Sugar nellie printed onto digital ultra smooth card from craftwork cards i've coloured her with copics. i just adore this image have another one of her already coloured ready to go on a card, hopefully will get it done tonight. The DP used is double sided so i didn't need 2 sheets think it was out of a pack of 12x12 papers. i've used the reverse side for the borders with some blue card punched with a Martha Stewart border punch attached to the back. Oh well i'm off to hunt for some green papers.

Spider Henry & web Easel card

Morning all finally got round to colouring Henry mouse dressed as spiderman in after pondering what to put him on decided to have a little play & blow the dust of robo here's what i came up with a Twisted Easel card think i should of cut a different colour for the base mat as you can't really see the webbing even though it has Atyou glitter pen on it.

Image Spider Henry which was a free digi stamp from Katharina coloured in using Copics the greeting is a Martha Stewart punch.

Lady in red

Hi all just popped on with the card i just made got some lovely red & black flocked satin ribbon couldn't decide wether to use it or not as you can see i decided against it. Well the wind did eventually die down so i had a normal walk home good in a way as i prefer to see where i am going not where i've been plus it meant the lamp posts were safe can be hazardous walking backwards you know.

Oh right back to the card forgot i'd bought these Kanban stamps found them tucked away in a drawer amazing what you find when looking for something else. I stamped the image onto Neenah cardstock coloured with copics i have also used an atyou spica glitter pen (in red) on the feathers, choker, straps & gloves not that you can see it on here.The backing paper is a sheet from 1 0f Crafters companions luxury A5 sheet packs another thing i found while looking for something else i cut the flourishes from black card using various Marianne creatable dies then attached them to the card using Anita's tacky glue, the sentiment is attached too a Nesties tag with a feather attached to the back & 2 pearls added to the front.
