Ooooh Betty!

Hi anyone. Another glorious day but a tad too hot for me. I used to love the sun but can't seem to take it any more so don't go out in it if I can help it. Anyway this is a cute download called Betty and Friends which I bought a few days ago from http://lily-boosboutique.blogspot.com/. Very talented lady and a lovely variety of downloads at very good prices.

Now whether this is Betty or a friend I don't know but she's very sweet. Coloured with Promarkers, used a pink ink pad on the mat, papers are Zoe Pearns Sugar and Spice which are lovely, sentiment is Elzybells, corners and flowers cut from lilac glitter card and that's about it.

Thanks for looking.

Another Gorjuss image - Miss Stroppy

Afternoon all - glorious day here and I'm on holiday this week so I've actually finished a card! My son has gone to Glastonbury leaving me home alone which is just how I planned it.

Second of my Gorjuss girl stamps - I think she looks like a stroppy young lady but couldn't think of a sentiment to fit. Papers are Zoe Pearns Persimmon again - they are actually greener than in the photo but the camera wouldn't co-operate with me. Nestie mats and a strip of pearlescent orange card swiss dotted. Didn't have any liquid pearls the right colour so used my glaze pen for the dots round the scallop.

Thanks for taking the time to visit.

Fathers Day Cards

I hate 'having' to make cards but these two were nice and easy. I have used digi downloads before but always had disasters colouring them in as the printer ink always ran - however I decided to try my Promarkers and they worked brilliantly. You're bound to have seen Jim around a lot lately as he is just perfect for mens cards. You can find him and many other great downloads at http://www.digistampboutique.co.uk/catalog/ as I'm sure you know already.

Kept it as simple as poss with just the image, a bit of matting and layering, a sentiment and one backing paper one each - both of which came from a Dovecraft Masculine paper pack. Hope my Dad likes his (top one). Thank for looking.

Just Gorjuss

Hi there - it's been a long time since my last post but I've finally finished this card. Just not feeling in a cardmaking mood lately but I'm happy with how it turned out in the end.

I am probably among the last to come to the Gorjuss Girls but I've wanted them for ages so I treated meself to 3 of them. Papers are Zoe Pearns Persimmon which I really love. Image coloured with Promarkers and used some liquid pearls and a bit of glitter.

Thanks for looking.

Card for my Sister

Hi anyone! - long time no blog. Haven't had any inspiration or even felt like making any cards for ages now but I had to make this one for my little sis who turns 50 on Monday. Wanted to make a special one but it's very bog standard but quite pretty and I'm sure she'll like it. Didn't want to put her age on it particularly so just bunged a flower on instead.

I did try a few more adventurous things but they all ended up as usual in the bin so I kept with what I know works for me. I've made a pocket inside to hold the voucher I've bought for her.
Thanks for taking the time to look.

Seeing double!

Sorry about this but I just had to change the sentiment tag for one that didn't detract from the image. Thank goodness for photoglue that's all I can say! I'm much happier with this card now and must remember to take a step back before posting in future.

New Elzybells stamp

One of my new Elzybells stamps and it's really cute. Stamps beautifully as do they all and takes a couple of minutes to colour. Took me so much longer to do the sentiment and now it looks scarily bright - never mind.

Thanks for looking.
