Sweet Valentine - n2sh

Hi Everyone! 

Here on the blog today to share with you a card I created using the digital image 'Sweet Valentine' from Not 2 Shabby



 the digital image has been coloured with Promarkers and after die cutting I have distressed the edges with Tim holts Distress Ink Black Soot.

I found some backing paper which I die cut in to a square and a rectangle and also die cut a tag out of red card, which I also distressed, before adding the twine and charm.

I then added some black lace and some stamped Love hearts. Finally I added some red pearls and a sentiment received with the many sentiments that come with the image as a bonus.

Smooches - SNS

 Hi Everyone! 

So today is my Wedding Anniversary so I needed to make a card for my husband.

Luckily Sweet November Stamps send a Freebie in their monthly news letter which i thought was perfect as an image for My husband! 'Smooches'


I have also used the digital background images ' Background Builder: Kissing Bridge' and some trees from 'the riverbed background scene builder' to create the scene. I then coloured the whole scene with Promarkers 

I always find balloons difficult, so I'll be practising that again. 

I then die cut the image and added to pink backing card and then mounted onto a silver C6 card. 

I hope you like it!

Harper - DDS

 Hi everyone! 

So today is my last post for 2021! Where has that year gone! 

If you were celebrating the festive season - I hope you had a wonderful time! 

Today I am sharing a card that I made for my Mum and Dad for Christmas. 

I used the image 'Harper' from Digi Doodle Studios - this is not necessarily a Christmassy image but i think it works quite well as one, 

I also strayed away from the traditional Christmassy colours, I went a bit Orange/Gold.


The image has been coloured with Promarkers and Nuvo Markers. 

I have die cut some backing papers and a star border which I have places along the bottom of the card toped with gold ribbon. I then heat embossed some stars on some seee through paper and fussy cut. 

Ithen die cut some clouds (Heffy Doodles) and some musical notes (Tattered Lace). The sentiment is from Polkadooles. 
 

I hope you like it! 

I wish you all a wonderful New Year and hope that 2022 brings us all so much fun, laughter and Joy! 

Happy New Year Everyone!
