Mother's Day Wishes

Doesn't time fly !!! its got to that time again. its the second challenge from Sincerely Yours Creation.

This time it is Mother's Day our sponsors for the month are Dilly Beans  who do great digi images and 

Visible Image who make stunning clear stamps .

 I decided to use Visible image stamps for my Mother's Day Card , I used their large Winter tree, which I embossed with WOW silver embossing powder on to a large ornate circle by Spellbinders cut from Midnite Muse blue Stampin Up Card. I then punched out tiny flowers from Daffodil delight  yellow card and put a gem in each flower. I finished the tree off with a daffodil yellow bow, it was mounted on 3d foam. To make the backing paper I used the tree branches to stamp in both the yellow and blue ink and added a piece of the yellow ribbon and blue gems at the corners. The paper was then mounted on the  yellow card and finally mounted on a 8x8 square card.

The sentiment is from the More than words set 15 Mothers day stamp from Visible image. This was stamped in Midnight Muse on white card ,then mounted on blue and  then yellow card and mounted on 3d foam.

I am going to use the card for my Mum's mothers day card, I also did a similar card in blue and pink for my darling husbands mum.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you like my card please let me know hugs Tania xx

Lady Bird...

Hi folks here is my blog post for today,I have been busy preparing a few design team cards this week , the first will go live tomorrow. But I just wanted to share Eleanor painting ladybugs, I so love these images. i have kept the card quite plain after the original image and mounted it up on black and red. What a colour combo, I used to wear nothing but :). But now I am happy with my life I will now wear other colours.

 I have coloured the digi image using Pro Markers, I then used distress inks for the sky background  and sun and then used Stampin Up card for the card and ribbon.The little ladybird embelishments were a free gift in a card mag  last month.

A little bird told me....

Here is my card for Sunday, I have made it with my new digi stamp from Broken Box Stock called" A little bird told me". I have coloured the image with Pro Markers.

After rounding the corners on the card, I then finished off with a sentiment from Simon says and added more musical notes( this image is super for most occasions just add the sentiment to suit) and the sky is assorted blue distressing inks. The yellow paper is from the Cupcake rang of basic grey which I embossed down one side with a M-bossabilities from Spellbinders, then added a Marina Mist co-ordinating ribbon from Stampin up. I cut out 5 matching 

Marina Mist flowers and finished off with buttercup liquid pearl .

I then framed her with a spellbinder die frame in yellow and mounted it onto a grey background embossed with a spellbinder splendid embossability folder the one with the daisy flowers..

Imagine That...Flowers for you

Hi , I manage to stumble across a web site that links all the free digi images around called Free Digital Stamps and in doing so came across this beautiful bouquet of flowers, and then found that they have their first challenge, If you use their image you will automatically get their second  digi image so everyone is a winner. Imagine That.!!!
 I printed the image off twice and coloured one layer, then decided what you would find on the bottom layer example leaves and box and the back daises and cut them out so it is a two layer decoupage. I coloured them with ProMarkers and spectrum noirs. I cut the bottom layer out with one of my new spellbinder dies, then mounted the second layer with silicon glue. The topper was added to the Hunkydory card blank using 3d foam,the backing card  was inked with Salty Ocean distress ink. The card was finished off with gold gems. Thanks for calling by, let me know you have visited thanks Txx

The backing paper is from first editions Love Letters, all the backing card is from Stampin Up.

 I finished the card off with a Visible image sentiment and hearts and heart shaped gems.

Music to my ears

Hi folks , here is my Less is More card, to wish a friend a happy birthday.It is a one layer card and the image is stamped direct on to the card.

The Sax is coloured with Spectrum noir pens and a little free doodling to join the sentiment to the image. I really enjoy the idea of Less is More. I can't wait until Thursday, when I can share with you my first design team card for the new SINCERELY YOURS CREATION BLOG  it is a fortnightly challenge blog and starts on Thursday the 14th of February if you haven't got a blog and would like to enter there is even a Facebook page.
