Magic part 3

Sorry I've been a bit longer posting, I was unexpectedly in hospital, very scary! I had this card almost ready but have only just put the finishing touches. So this is part 3 of my magic series, the stamp was a freebie on a magazine. I think she's cute. I've coloured her with my Copics and then glittered her wings. The two circular frames are Spellbinders which I've coloured with matching copics and then glittered. The lace ribbon is cut from Cricut Ribbons and Rosettes then threaded with ribbon from my stash. I've made the roses from Art Philosophy and again coloured them with Copics. Pearls in the centre finish the roses off. My background papers are by Papermania and Dawn Bibby. The sentiment is a stamp, I've mounted it on paper which I've coloured with Copics and then glittered. The card itself is white but again I've coloured the parts which show with Copics as I like an exact match where possible and it's much cheaper than buying card stock in every single colour.Thanks for looking and your lovely comments.

Magic part 2

Part 2 of my magic series is a called Dreamer from Lillyboo digi stamps at Cuddly Buddly which I've coloured with my Copics. I've glittered her wings the moon and also the butterfly as it's so right for fairies. The oval die cut and the butterfly are Spellbinders. The lace ribbon is a cut from Ribbons and Rosettes layered on top of pink ribbon. I've used a background paper from a CD with two layers of pink toned paper beneath. The white leaves are a Martha Stewart punch and the pink roses are made from the Art Philosophy cart. I've stamped my sentiment and matted and layered it the same papers as on the card. Pearls inside the roses complete my card. Inside is a greeting on paper from a CD.

Masculine Birthday

You will never believe it but I had a bike image in my mind as our son is a keen cyclist. I just couldn't get a pleasing result so....I turned to Art Philosophy. The entire card is on page 32. The card base is cut at 8", the layers at 6". There are two layers under the design having a teal mat under the pale blue, not that visible in the photo. I wasn't happy with the decorative layer as it made the card look to heavy so I used the smaller accent instead. The cut layer underneath the accents is teal mirror card which I feel just gives a hint of brightness needed right for a male card. The Cricut let me down when trying to cut the greeting, ripping both the teal card and the mirror card whichever I tried. So I made one in my graphics program and then inked it over with a fine pen to match the teal colour of the accents and the mat under the greeting. I'm happy with the result which is more than I can say for the previous new home post which I deleted. I disliked it the more I looked.

50th Anniversary

I was really short of time making this card as I'd not realised how near my friends anniversary is. I certainly struggled for inspiration probably due to the combination of urgency and this very hot weather we are having.
The actual shaped card I made in DS from Ornamental Iron and the background paper is a handmade one which I've had in my stash years. The lacy border is from Ribbons and Rosettes, yes still playing with that one! I've threaded gold ribbon through the border and added gems on the points. the gold heart is from Victorian Romance and the 50 from Plantin Schoolbook. The rose is from Art Philosophy and I've added glitter after making it up. The congratulations is a sizzlit die. Inside is a simple happy anniversary.
