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.
