Surfer Tilda Frame/Easel Card

This is my first try at a Frame Card. This was a challenge over at Magnolia-licious earlier this year but as yet I haven't been brave enough to try. The instruction are found HERE. I've also made the whole card into an Easel Card, which allows the frame to stand up quite well.
The background image is from Magnolia 'Ocean Background' and is coloured lightly with copics as is Tilda. Not sure if I'm totally happy with the colours, perhaps could be a bit brighter. I've added dimensional magic to the ocean and a little sandcastle embellishment on the sand. Added metal greeting from MM and shell charm on a little bit of rafia. Inside the the card I've used the Spellbinders Fancy Tags (which I've just received in the post) with another metal charm attached.

This is also my entry this week for Cute Card Thursday Challenge #105 - 'Dimensions'.

Thanks for looking.

This card was created using the Penny Black Saturday Challenge #93. The image is of course from Penny Black coloured with SU pens. Ovals cut with nestable ovals and scallop ovals. The plain purples are bazzill and the pattern paper is from DoCrafts Papermania 'Heather' paper pack. I've stitched around the edges and added pearls, tulle and flowers. Metal frame and greeting from SU.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Tilda Easel Card

This card is for a very special girl who is celebrating her birthday very soon and my entry for the
Just Magnolia Challenge #47 'Easel Card'.
I've used the 'Noble Tilda' and 'Grand Piano' stamps which I've coloured with copics, distress ink and SU pens. The images were then cut out and placed onto heart embossed background shaped with nestabilites Labels One. The layout is from Friday Sketches #93. I've used SU Baja Breeze card stock as my base card and the pattern paper is Kaisercraft Devonshire Collection. I've used the McGill fern puch and flowers from various sources. The greeting is from Stampin Up and punched with SU ovals. Have stitched around edges and added pearls, lace ribbon & charm.

Thanks for looking.

The Sugar Bowl Challenge


My daughter has just been to another 7th birthday party today, this time for her friend Liam. I've used the sketch from The Sugar Bowl Challenge #31. 



 I've used SU Night of Navy cardstock and pattern papers from the Kaisercraft Rewind Collection. These papers are so good for boy cards. The image is Sugarnellie 'Skateboarder' , stamped onto white cardstock, coloured with copics and paper pieced with pattern paper. I have mounted this onto Cuttlebug Star pattern embossed paper and then mounted onto night of navy. Both circles cut with nestables. The stars are punched with SU & unlabelled star punches. The number seven is a chipboard number inked with night of navy. The greeting is a rubon from DCWV.

Thanks for looking.

I've used the Friday Sketches #91 layout for this card.The main image shape is cut with Nestables Labels 1 and inked around edges. Have mounted onto Not Quite Navy SU card and then onto white.

Green Golfer

 

 I've used the Midnight Madness sketch #42 for this card. The image and pattern paper is from the Docrafts magazine free craft cd, that came with issue 19. I've printed these onto SU White cardstock. The green and rust cardstock is also from Stampin Up and I have used the Cuttlebug 'Argyle' and Swiss Dots folders to emboss. This card also qualifies for  The Pink Elephant challenge #56 this week, which was 'use the colour green'. I was hoping to also enter in the Cards for Men challenge but I just missed the cutoff.

Hope you like.
