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.

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.

Double heart easel & box

Hi all hope everyones well sorry not been about pc packed up on me just aswell i had the forsight to back everything up on to me external drive or i would of lost the lot have the unenviable task of putting everything back on the new drive now. Well saying i had some time on me hands came up with an idea for a card the box was an after thought but it was fun to make.

The box is a near match to the card inside pity i didn't have some choccies to go in it though knowing me they wouldn't make it into the box lol

haven't got round to reinstalling my fonts hence the change in my watermark the butterfly was showing up as a B oh & here's the card out of the box a double heart Easel.

not sure what occasion to use it for so the verses are just slotted in to the frames for the time being.
Tools used Scalloped heart nestabilities cuttlebug embossing folders all cardstock from my stash roses from Wild orchid craftsno links i'm afraid still got to transfer my favourites back over hope i don't have to do them individually will still be here this time next year.
