Monkeying Around!

I made this card for my son's 3rd birthday this year. He particularly likes monkeys at the moment so I experimented with some Rubbernecker /Creative Expressions stamps. The images have been coloured using Promarkers and the middle is a Creative Expressions embossing folder used on Core-dinations paper and sanded. The number 3 has been cut and mounted using the Cricut Storybook cartridge.

Lavina Fairy Magical Door

Ok, last post for today! Life has been a little busy of late...I seem to have made toppers but never actually finished the cards! On this one I experimented with the lovely gate from Lavina. It needed to be the correct perspective in relation to the fairy, but I think I have got it...finally! I have added glitter detail and edged with peeled paint coloured Distress Ink. The papers are from the Laura Ashley collection and the flowers and gems are from the depths of my stash! I wonder what she is thinking...

Peter Rabbit

 Once again I feel I may be avoiding the Christmas cards...not sure why! I have been experimenting with Aquamarkers and different watercolour papers for these cards. I have now come to the conclusion that you get what you pay for! I have used Dayler Rowney papers here, cold pressed with that lovely texture. I have used the Cricut Storybook cartridge to cut the shapes and borders used. I think I am getting better with the Aquamarkers now, but it does take practise! The papers have come from Crafter's Companion Cute Companion CD roms (original collection and Summer Stories I think!).
I have kept them simple I know, but I suppose the feature is really meant to be Peter!

This one is a slighty larger version and I have added some Card Candi and also some paper stamped both sides with an edger punch.

Hope you like them...any ideas let me know!

Magical Birthdays

These are two cards I have made purely because I can't seem to get in the mood for making Christmas cards yet! I have used Papermania fantasy backing papers, a sentiment stamp from Lili of the Valley and stamps from Lavina to create the scene - yes even fairies do washing! The shaps have been cut using the Cricut storybook cartridge and the tiny silver flowers using a Pinflair multi-punch. There is glitter all around the fairies and unicorn, but the camera has not picked this up very well! Hope you like them xx
