Happy Birthday Jasmine!

Hello, hope everyone is doing okay.  

It has been a few week's since my last post.  I've done little bits of crafting over recent weeks - mainly starting things but not finishing them!!  Don't know what the problem is but "Mr Mojo" seems to have taken off.  

Anyhow I did manage to finish a couple of birthday cards recently (no choice really as I needed to send the cards to the recipients!) and this was the first one.

The design is very simple - basically just the image, a couple of sentiments and ribbon.  I think for a teenage girl these images by LOTV are perfect.

Copic Alcohol Markers were used to colour the image as follows:

Skin : E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20

Hair : E53, E35, E59

Hoodie/Skirt : BG10, BG11, BG72

Skirt/Shoes : R81, R83, R85

Phone : W0, W2, W5, W7

Ground  W00, W0, W1, W2, W3, W4

Card Information:

Image : Jasmine Phone by LOTV (I used a rubber stamp but it is no longer available.  However, you can get the image as a digi stamp here.) 

Sentiments : Happy Birthday Die (Simon Says Stamp); Special Niece (LOTV - retired)

Embellishments : Organza Ribbon (My Craft Stash) and Pink Heart (Little Things by Lucy's Cards)

Thank you for visiting my blog and for your comments - I really do appreciate you taking the time.

on Your Engagement

Hello

Hope everyone is doing okay.  Unfortunately 2021 is continuing in much the same vein as 2020!  Fortunately, I've got lots of crafty things in my craft room to keep busy.

 

A colleague at work recently got engaged and this is the card that I made for her.  

The image is Close Your Eyes by LOTV and has been coloured with Copic Alcohol Markers.  

I cut the image out using a Nestabilities Die - Floral Ovals by Spellbinders.  This was layered onto designer paper from the Life In The Country 6 x 6 Paper Pad by Maja Designs.  The small hearts were created by using the Stacked Hearts die by Simon Says Stamps.  The sentiment is also by LOTV.  

A single rose bud, ribbon bow and pearls were added as embellishments.  

Thank you for visiting my blog - I do appreciate it.  

Have a lovely, safe weekend.  

Happy New Year and 'Thank You'

Hello and Happy New Year, 

I hope you all managed to somehow enjoy your Christmas and New Year in these difficult circumstances.  I truly hope that 2021 is a better year and that we get back to some normality in due course but I fear we have a couple of difficult months ahead! 

Today I am sharing a “thank you” card which was created using the Flowers in Bloom image by MFT.  

I stamped the image, using Memento Ink, onto Make in Colour Card and coloured the image using Copic Alcohol Markers.  I then fussy cut the image (there is a matching die set available if you don’t fancy fussy cutting). 

I die cut a square, slightly smaller than the card blank, and added a strip of designer paper from the Black and White Basics 6x6 Paper Pad (MFT) along the bottom.  The flower image was then added on top. 

The “thanks” is a Simon Says Stamp die which was cut out three times and layered up.  A couple of black gems were added as embellishments.

Thank you for stopping by my blog, I really do appreciate it and for any comments left.
