50'S FASHION CANARY !!!!

Hello dear Blog peeps.

 

 

Saturated Canary has some fab new digi's called fashion decades.

This one I couldn't resist is from the 40's 50's decades.

 

 

It's a little before my time, but I love this era , wish we could go back there again.

 

You can see them HERE...

 

I found someone here in Brisbane who had those stunning 'Lemoncraft " papers , so had to go get some real quick.

This one is from the house of roses collection.

 

I have used copics for this one.

 

Distressed and frantage'd  the edges. The frame is paper Artist.

 

The heart is Magnolia Doohickey's.and the butterfly is Joy crafts.

 

Colours used were RV 34,32,11,10

 

 

 





BIG HUGGGSSS !!

Hello all you wonderful ladies out there in Blog land.

I have finally started to return to normal ( whatever that is ) after my trip away to New Zealand. It has been sooo hard to get back into the swing of card making again but I have done it now.

 

 

I have a Saturated Canary stamp today, one of the older ones from Little Darlings called " Free Hug "

 

 

 

This one done with Prisma pencils on Canson 200 Drawing paper.

 

Edges distressed and inked. The hearts flourish is from Doohickeys club set. I have put a little wooden envelope on the lace.

 

The sentiment is from Hot off the Press Heartfelt greetings set.

 

I hope you enjoy seeing this card and thanks for stopping ny.

Till next time , which I hope will be sooner rather than later. xx

 

 



WINE GIRL AND TIME TO CELEBRATE

I got my latest edition of Complete Cardmaking magazine , issue no 56, ( bought from the UK) which has a good selection of Saturated Canary images on a CD. Couldn't wait to get this one on a card.

I had bought a set of 132 Prisma Pencils from the US  ( There are some advantages to having a son living in Chicago)

 

So coloured this with the Prisma's.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A very elegant lady , don't  you think ?

 

I used the Couture Creations paper called Vintage Rose. These are gorgeous papers almost don't want to use them !!

 

Heart flourish is a Magnolia Doohickeys club die.

The butterfly is Marianne, and sentiment is from Lilly of the Valley. LOTV.

 

Thanks for stopping by. Till next time x

A BIT OF LILLY FOR PARADISE OF STAMPS !!!

Hello peeps of the Blog world..

 

I have done a card for the Paradise of Stamps challenge Blog.

 

This is my first card as a DT for them.

 

It is a nice little blog and some good challenges.

I get to make cards with any image I like , and this first time

I have used one of the new LOTV stamps.

I have used distress inks for this card. The theme was " Monochromatic" ( I always have trouble with this theme trying to do everything with one colour )

However I think you get the idea .

The lovely frame is a Paper Artist die.

Lovely paper from Pion.

 

 The birdcage and tag are those Doohickeys club series dies.

The little sentiment is also from Lilly of the Valley.

SARAH KAY

I dont think I have posted a Sarah Kay card on here yet. I had to make a birthday card for a little girl and chose this one. I think you can still get some of these from ebay, but as far as I know Sarah Kay is no longer making stamps. 

She is a real sweetie. 

I used a new Magnolia tag die that I got this past week.

And nice flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts,

HOPE !!!

Another lovely image from the Paper Shelter..She is called HOPE

I have kept this card quite simple as I wanted to see this lovely frame.

Not much to tell you about this really except the frame is from Marianne, the fern is from Doohickeys. I have put some little bead caps with pearls in them . And the flowers from Wild Orchid. 
                                '
                                    Two wild roses and some open roses. She has a few little pearls in her hair too. 

I have used BV 20,23,25 For her dress and Y 21,23,26,28  for the yellows. 

VICTORIA

I have been waiting ages to post this card on my blog. A friend asked me if I would like to be her card buddy , which means I make her a card and she makes me one. So this is what I did for her. She loved this Sugar Nellie image called Victoria. 

Isn't she just a stunning little girl.? 

I have coloured her with copics. The frame is spellbinders.

I made the little envelope and stamped a whimsy tag on it
