Precious Moments

I have been busy today and have made two cards. Will do a separate post for each though.

The first one is a baby card. The digital stamp is Ginny with Flowers by Pink Gem, coloured with ProMarkers. Very cute!  The DP is from Kaisercraft and the blue one from my stash.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Pink Gem : Challenge 41 Perfect Pastels
2 Sisters : Challenge 82 Spring Colours
Sketch n Stash : Challenge 83 (new is the orange/green paper and old is the sticker and pearls).

Thanks for visiting. Hugs. Jo x

Card for Karen's Mum

My friend, Karen, has asked me to make a 70th birthday card for her mum. She asked for purple and butterflies. This is my card I have made for her.

I searched on Google for a square sketch and found a great one by PinkPiggyWiggy (many thanks Dawny P xx)

The stamp is from LOTV. The DP and sentiment are from Kaisercraft. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The branches are from my Stampin' Up Two Step Bird Punch. The butterfly is the Martha Stewart Monarch Butterfly Punch. The lace is from World of Lace (who is an absolutely wonderful English man who has a stall at Carrara Markets on the Gold Coast). I made my own twine with some cross stitching twine. Coloured in with ProMarkers and KindyGlitz.

Penguin Card

Well, I didn't think I would have time to make a card today. I had a last minute cancellation this morning so thought I would do a bit of stamping! I bought this cute little penguin stamp from Kaisercraft last weekend - paper pieced him onto white, blue and stripey DP from my stash. A little bit of KindyGlitz on his hat and nose and there we go!

Mother's Day Card

Good morning. Well, I have had a very busy weekend. I watched my AFL team, Gold Coast Suns, at the first round of the NAB Cup on Saturday night. Sunday was a very early start. Got picked up at 6.30am to go and umpire at a Netball Carnival for Southport Carrara Under 16's Premier League Team. They did really well. Won two of their games, lost two games by one goal and one by four goals! Well done girls! Was in bed by 7.30pm on Sunday!!! Another night of netball on Monday. Umpired three games and played too. Lost by four! Bummer!

I got really good news yesterday when I logged onto Dustin Pike. My dinosaur card won random prize on their recent challenge!!! Woo hoo!! Go me!!

Anyway, back to work today. Not too busy, so managed to make my Mother's Day card for my beautiful mum, who is back in England.

The digital stamp is by Pollycraft, coloured with ProMarkers and KindyGlitz.  The DP was from Kaisercraft. The lace is my old stash, as is the ribbon. The pearls are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Hugs and Kisses

This is my very first monochromatic card!! I enjoyed making this one. Need a bit of work on my colouring but reasonably happy with it.  My digital stamp is Twiddly Wings - Flowers by Pollycraft.  The papers, ribbon, buttons and sentiment are from my stash. I coloured the stamp with ProMarkers Warm Greys 1-5.  Many thanks to Passion for ProMarkers Weekend Workshop for the tutorial on monochrome colouring.

Baptism Card

One of my friends has asked me to make a Baptism card for her Grandson, Alexander.  I have used stickers from the Stampers Hut and a sketch by Taylored Expressions, TECC51. The large cross was stuck onto cream card. The sentiment was done on my computer.
