Love You....

Morning all.... So it's sad news that I bring you today, "Through The Purple Haze" is closing after next weeks challenge..... Personally I'm gutted, as it's been great fun, a huge learning curve and a privilege to work alongside such  an amazing bunch of ladies.....But the lovely Anita, needs to put family first and that has always been our mantra at TTPH....

So onto this weeks challenge, which is "Anything Goes" and which is sponsored by "The East Wind" ....  I was given "Aurora" "Love You" to use and ended up making a Mother's Day card....

Flowers Daisy Delite

Hi all.... and a special hi to anyone dropping by for the first time, thank you ...

This last week was a bit of a difficult one and by Wednesday it had hit a pretty bad low.... So what better, than to have a Christmas Masquerade Party (Yes I did say Christmas) to attend. With good friends, huge amounts of laughter and copious amounts of banter, I am feeling in a much better place to start the week...

So onto this weeks card for "Through The Purple Haze". The theme is "Flowers" and this card seemed to take me ages to make, but I think it was worth it.... The digi image I used, is called "Daisy Delite" and she is available from this weeks sponsor Lacy Sunshine ....

So I made a basic square easel card, using promarkers/copics to colour the image and matted tan and chocolate card, with the papers...

Auroa Wings-TTPH

Good morning lovely people.... I must apologise for my lack of blogging lately but I have been majorly busy making commission cards some of which I hope to share, and like most crafters  I'm trying to make Christmas cards and its just not happening ... One step forward, ninety five back lol and we seem to be racing towards November arggggghhhh scary or what?!?......Here endith today's mini rant .....

Now onto today's DT make for TTPH, the theme is Snowflakes/Stars. We're sponsored this week by Aurora Wings Who have some truly beautiful images to chose from.... I have used the stunning "Christmas Floral", it is so detailed and really did test my colouring skills, but it was such fun to colour....

I used my clear wink of Stella pen, (my best purchase in a long time, looks beautiful without the aftermath of the devils dust, which is the name for glitter in my house). I wanted to make this image the star of the show so to speak so I kept the design relatively simple...

I matted the holly paper onto red card stock and also made a frame for the picture out of the same card stock. I edged the frame with that wink of stella pen again and added a cream bow and snowflake to finish....

Card Recipe

Pro-Markers Burgundy, Berry, Red

Satin, Ivory, Blush 

Holly, Pine

Pear Green, Moss, Olive, Heatwave

Whoopsie Daisy CAS

Hi...So lovely of you to drop by.

I have two cards to share with you today...My first today is my DT card for TTPH (Through The Purple Haze) challenge blog. Please pop by and enter whilst looking at the other DT makes. We also have a facebook page, we'd love you to come and say hi...
I am both proud and fortunate to create with such a lovely, caring, team of ladies, though most have never met each other there is a sense of care, support and acceptance that is normally saved for that of long term friends.... So enough mushy stuff (don't worry it's very rare for me lol) and so on to this weeks card...

Our theme this week is CAS (clean and simple) and our sponsors are Whoopsidaisy Digis. Sadly she has to my knowledge no name but is from page 606...

I coloured her in various shades of pinks with my Promarkers and mounted the image onto white card and trimmed it. This was to make it sturdy enough to stitch around the edge which I did by hand... Apologies for the wonky stitches not my best.... Note to ones self, do not try and stitch a card when fighting the beginnings of a migraine.... I then mounted it on to a pre bought pink card and added a stamped sentiment and a silk rose from stash....

Card Recipe

Promarkers

Crafty Sentiments TTPH DT

Hi I'm back with my second post today, this time from crafty sentiments, who are our second sponsors this week.

I used the Lilli Pond Frog image and using my Promarkers I dotted the image to aquire a little more texture to the image. I made an easel card and decided to keep the layout quite CAS (clean and simple). So I mounted my baking papers, the image and the sentiment onto Kaft card. I used my banner die also on Kraft card and mounted the sentiment on 3D strips to keep the easel card open and that was it... lol
