1st Christmas

My friend at work asked me to make her a Christmas Card for her new little grandson.

I've used a digi image from Mo's digital pencil and coloured with copics. I've cut out and mounted onto a piece of white cardstock embossed with swiss dots. The red bauble is part of a larger stamp from Artee Stamps which I have embossed with gold and added "baby's first christmas" (using Just Rite Stamper). I've then covered with crystal effects to give it a 3D effect.
The patter paper is a digi paper from Bearly Mine Designs. I've used a square doily and stitched around the middle square. Added ribbon, charm and pearls.

The verse inside the card is from a web site called Verses for cards. Added some swirls and some more pearls.

I've entered this in Cute Card Thursday - challenge 141.

Birthday Cards

Here are a few cards I've recently made.

This image is a stamp from Diamonds Rubber Stamps. I'm not sure if they are still available from the US.

I've coloured with copics and mounted onto pattern paper from Kaisercraft 'Candy Lane' collection.

Stitched around each panel and added ribbon,flowers, pearls and a few fancy swirls.

This card is using an unmounted stamp I had in my stash so I'm not sure who actually makes it. I've stamped in Night of Navy SU ink onto white cardstock. I've stitched around each panel with navy thread and sponged   navy ink to distress the edges. The pattern paper is from a We R Memory Keepers paper pad and I have stamped edges with a Stempelglede grunge stamp. Added charcoal pearls from Kaisercraft.
