 Good Monday Morning to you all!

I am back after a awful bout of illness but so thankful to be feeling better!  Hope you've all be well & up to some crafty business?

OK, on to my card - y'know sometimes when you've kinda pleased with what you've created but then there is that nagging feeling that something just isn't right? Yes? Well that is this card.  I keep looking at it and feel like something is missing and it's just hit me! I should of added a third colour - black! In my mind's eye I can see it would've worked fine & made the card 'pop' more.  Oh well, we live 'n' learn!

My ingredients:

5 x 5 Square card blank

Kanban's New home papers & toppers from All Occasions kit

Gold mirri card (stash)

red ribbon (stash)

Bow border - Marianne Craftables

Spellbinders Majestic Labels twenty five

Gems (Stash)

There you go! I think I'm getting back into the swing of crafting again after being poorly, & I need to catch up of blogs & comments.  I think I will just be checking up on all your latest makes and commenting on those otherwise I will be overwhelmingly tired trying to catch up!

I'm hoping to be back tomorrow with a Mother's day card to show you.

Thank you all, once again, for all your lovely comments you leave me :)

Until next time,

Christening

Hi everyone!

This is a scheduled post so no weather update from me! LOL

I was asked to make 3 cards for a Christening, for 2 sisters & their brother. The children ages are from 5, 7 & 9  (if I remember correctly!) & after chatting to the lovely lady about what type of cards she wanted, we came up with this idea!

My Method:

I made 3 individual 4 x 4 cards & matching boxes in  blue, pink & purple Centura Pearl card, I die cute 6 toppers -2 square & 4 scalloped, then added silver crosses to each one. I then die cut the names of each child and the date of the Christening and added them to the Card base topper.  I then added a blue brad to the cross on the blue card.

Ingredients:

4 x 4 card base & boxes - Centura Pearl

Toppers - (using just square & scalloped die from set) - Nellie's Scalloped Squares 

Scalloped die -  Lea'bilities multi die 

Silver crosses die cuts - Spellbinders

Alphabet die - Joy crafts

I'm very happy to say the recipients loved their little Christening boxes!

Until next time,

Art Deco

  Evening all! A second post from me today - that's never been heard of before!

Hope you've all had a good day

I thought today I would have a play with a kit I brought from Hunkydory...it's called 

- Decadent Days Collection - 

Using an 8 x 8 Centura Pear; card base, I mat & layered with silver mirri card and one of the backing sheets from the kit.  I then cut another piece of mirri card & matted that with one of the papers from the kit & then placed it along the centre of the card. I took one of the toppers and concertinered the side panels so  it would be raised away from the card.  I then coloured some white feathers with a black speccie pen & pink promarker, I then added the feathers to two separate gems & used one on the ladies head piece (can't remember correct name for it) & the other to the top right of my card.  Two more pink gems were added to the topper side panels.

A beautiful kit making for a lovely card me thinks!

I would like to add this card to the following challenge(s):

Good Evening Crafty Peeps!

It's been beautiful here today, the  sky was blue & I saw a rare yellow thing beaming down from the sky...can't remember what it's called seeing as I haven't seen it for soooo long! LOL Hopefully, the weather will remain like today (what's the chances?),

OK onto my likkle card! This card was made for my Nephew Michael's birthday - he's a Manchester United fan so what better card to come up with than a footie themed one! The footie boy digi was in my stash & I can't recall where I got it from. (sorry! if anyone knows, please give me a shout). I used my Promarkers & Speccies to colour up in the football kit & boots colours - and rest of digi ...didn't think it came out too bad, if I do say so myself!
