Fantasies & Faries

Just a really quick post today... so much to do!!! I made this card for my mother-in-law and was just about to put it in the envelope when I remembered this weeks challenge for Mo's Challenge Blog! I thought this card fits the theme pretty well lol Love this image and love how the card turned out too! Thanks for popping by xoxox

M4M challenge... anything goes!

Just a quick post to enter my latest project in the Mad for Markers challenge 'anything goes'. I made this li'l gift for my gorgeous friend Mandy's 30th birthday. We went out for tea and this was just something little to go on the table to let everyone know we were there to celebrate our friends birthday. It's simply a block of wood painted and glittered, then flowers, ribbon and a few other bits and pieces added. I coloured in the Magnolia stamps with my Copics and also added a little bit of colour to the flowers with Copics too. There is also a little hook hidden away amongst the ribbon where I tied ballons on for the evening. Thanks for for looking.

How to give a gift voucher!

I asked my sister this morning what she would like for her birthday. The only thing she could think of is a gift voucher for a clothing store she likes. Now, I'm not the best gift shopper, but I'm also not a fan of gift vouchers either... a little impersonal if you ask me. So I decided if I was going to take the easy way out and get the gift voucher, then the least I could do is put it into something pretty! This is what I came up with. It's pretty much a thicker version of the easel card, with a li'l box within to hold the voucher. The image is from Mo's Digital Pencil Shop (in love with all her images atm). Thought I would use the 'brothers' image, as my two gorgeous boys will be giving their Aunty the present!
I'm going to enter this into the Mad for Markers 'anything but a card' challenge... hmmm... not sure whether it completely fits... but hey, you say it's an easel card, I say it's a box LOL I've been checking out their blog since I bought a decent chunk of copics from them a month or so ago... great prices and fast delivery ;-). They have just got a new DT too, so if you haven't already, take a look! Thanks for taking the time to look xoxox

Hi!

Well here is another christmas card... I think I'm on a role lol. This has one of Mo's digital images as well. They are just all so gorgeous! I've decided to enter it in the blog candy give away at Scrapbooking Allsorts. You can find the details of the give away here. I hadn't visited their site in a while so I just found out they now sell Copic Sketch markers. I've used these to colour in my image on the card and have a pretty good collection (although always seem to need more lol). I still haven't had a lot of practice with them yet, but I'm very surprised at how easy it is to get pretty good results with them :-) So if you want to try them visit Scrapbooking Allsorts (I know I will be), they are quite reasonably priced there too! Hope you like my card and thank you for taking the time to look xoxox
