Football Mad...

My best friends husband had his birthday a couple of weeks ago and here is the card I made for him - something I have been dying to have a play with my grey promarkers I have used my magnolia stamp and started colouring the image using the lightest colour of pen and graduated the the colour through the image. I think the effect is really subtly and it took only a few minutes to do.
I have used DSP from the sweet pea set and have used a very old hero arts stamp for the greeting. I mounted the panel on the sweet pea paper and then again on whisper white. I have added a panel of DSP to the left hand side of the card blank. I added dazzling diamonds to the football to add a bit of bling!
I hope you like the card and thanks for looking - Debbi x x x

Just Magnolia

Last challenge for this evening... although I do have a ouple more!! This week we had to use a different shaped card - not having any of these I had to pinch one from Sams Bits! as she always has everything you need or could ever dream of needing! LOL
The card blank is papermania (from Sam x) and has a scalloped edge. The image is one from my stash that I have had for ages! this is again coloured with watercolours and mounted on DSP that was a purchase in the January sale and is Laura Ashley I also have the brads to match!, the ribbon is SU! the dots are craftwork cards and the charms are a gift from Sam - how lucky am I??

thanks for looking and that really is all for now! debbi x x x TTFN

A couple of challenges...

Hello again! Well what a busy bee I have been... Done a workshop with a friend of mine and she made some lovely birthday cards and a new baby card she was really proud of herself and rightly so really pretty cards - should have taken piccies of her cards too! After she had gone home I decided to do two challenges - the first one the Just Magnolia challenge and the second the SWU challenge

The Just Magnolia challenge was this week stitching - luckily for me this could be faux stitching as well as the traditional kind on a sewing machine - something I don't have... I have water coloured an image from my stash that a friend had stamped me ages ago. I then mounted this on SU cardstock and have stitched the edges. In both pink glitter pen and black fibre tip pen. I used the petals wheel in pink passion across the top of the card and edged this with shocking forever friends ribbon to decorate. The setiment is again stamped in pink passion and mounted on SU card stock - again stitched around the edge.

The SWU! this week is THANKS, for the challenge I again used a Magnolia stamp - from my friend (check out her blog Sams Bits) which I water coloured using my pencil crayons, I then mounted this on SU cardstock and daubed the edges with lovely lavender ink. I used the petals wheel on the card to create a border in lavender lace and ribbon to decorate the bow I stuck down with double sided and I created a double layer. The Sentiment is from Fun and Fast Notes and I mounted this on SU cardstock. I daubed the edges of this and the card as well. I used three brads to decorate from my stash...

I hope you like them and thank you for looking, all your comments are appreciated and so is your support to my blog - in just over five weeks there have been nearly 1000 hits... Amazing!

Bye for now - Debbi x x x
