This is a card I made for a friend a while ago, as the image is rather cute I thought I'd put this card on my blog.

LILAC CLOCK CARD

This is a stunning card, I have added loads of lilac gems, it folds flat for posting and comes in matching envelope.  The clock face is several layers of pyramage (the numbers are lined up, it's just the angle the photo is taken from makes it looks as though they are not).  This is for sale, along with many other cards I have on my blog, if interested please message me.  This comes with several sentiments including birthday and retirement.



TIGER CARD

I suddenly had a thought - I don't have any cards on my blog featuring what I am so passionate about - TIGERS so here's the first of no doubt many more to come in the future.

This has a bow front, lots of dimension but folds completely flat so ideal for posting.

Pink Haired Fairy card order

I was asked to make a card for a girl who will be 17 who has pink hair, therefore I thought this image would be perfect.

The card shaped template and background paper is from Crafter's Companion Enveloplus Project and Resource CD Rom.

CARD SAMPLES FOR A CHALLENGE

I have joined the Design Team of my friend Sheila's Challenge, here are the samples I have made for her new challenge starting today.

For more info on this challenge please click the link: http://craftcreatoins.blogspot.co.uk/p/winter-challenge.html

I coloured the girl and her clothes using Promarkers and stamped her coat onto a backing paper and cut out.  I used a lovely swirly flourish die that's very decorative and delicate.

This is from Joanna Sheen's Time's Gone Bye CD rom, it's in the shaped cards section.
I added Glossy Accents to the cat's eyes making them look very realistic.  I added My Craft Studio's Frost to the snow.

I added some lovely holographic borders and flourish peel-offs by Pinflair and, of course, plenty of glitter to this pretty Art Deco lady Birthday card!

This is an extremely cute image from Joanna Sheen's House Mouse Winter decoupage pack.
I added a variety of flower embellishments and lovely purple mirror card.
This is a pretty pyramage design.

GOLDEN RETRIEVER ANNIVERSARY CARD

I had a request to make an anniversary card for a couple who share their home with their golden retriever dogs.  It took me a while but I found this lovely photo of golden retrievers dressed in wedding outfits which I thought was rather fitting for the occasion.


THOMAS KINKADE CHRISTMAS CARD

Here's a card I have made using the Christmas CD rom from Joanna Sheen's Thomas Kinkade 3 CD rom set.  
I matt and layered the image onto gold mirror card then onto brown pearlised card, added strips of gold satin ribbon to the corners and gold gems.  This beautiful image by the late Thomas Kinkade was crying out for some glitter, as you can see there's plenty on it, as well as me and my cat who loves to sit on my desk and help me craft!


MERRY CHRISTMOUSE

Here's a card I've just made using the Christmas Mice CD rom by Fee J Designs.

I printed the decoupage sheet onto glossy photo paper and made up the decoupage, I added sequin waste to the background for a festive look.
(yes I did notice the error when it was too late - I missed the gap between the mouse's tail and foot - it should be blue lol).  Hopefully the recipient won't notice!

DUCK DECOUPAGED CHRISTMAS CARD

I've just finished this Christmas card with a lovely decoupaged picture of two cute ducks.  I added frosted glitter and several red gems for a bit of Christmas bling.  I also added faux fur and a white pom pom to the lady duck's Santa hat.

This is for a challenge being held by my friend Shiela.

FISHING CARD

I made this card a few months ago now but I really enjoyed making it so I'm adding it to my blog.  Some of front elements are decoupaged and have glossy accents added to them.

It's an A4 sized card, I'm fortunate to have a great A3 printer which takes 300 gsm card without any problems.  I printed all parts onto hammer card so the card is lovely and sturdy.  There is a panel on the back for a verse and greeting.
