Sweet Blossom

Hi

How was your week?  It's been pretty cold here in the UK with heavy snowfall almost everywhere last weekend.  In fact, perfect weather for staying home, turning up the heat and getting out the craft stuff.

This fabulous image is by Sylvia Zet, isn't she sweet?

I have coloured her with Promarkers and mounted her on silver mirror card and pink glitter card.  The paper is a Polkadoodle design.

Wishing You Every Happiness

The other day I mentioned that two couples I know had recently got engaged, here is the other card I made.

I used my favourite Teddy Bo images for this card and. if I do say so myself, I think this is probably the best card I have ever made.

I coloured the image, which is called Love Showers, with my Promarkers and cut the shapes with my Nesties. The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the paper from DoveCraft.

I interspersed the roses with small pearl headed pins.

Keiron and Stephanie-Emma are two very special people and I wish them every happiness.

I have decided to enter this card into the following challenges:

Be My Valentine

Hi and welcome to my blog.

It's time for another challenge at Crafty Boots Challenges, for the next two weeks it is all about St Valentine's Day.

I have chosen a Teddy Bo Design called Love Showers.

I coloured this image with Promarkers and the roses came from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The card and papers came from my stash.

I interspersed the roses with small pearl headed pins.

When I visited the Teddy Bo store, to find an image suitable for this challenge, I had trouble deciding on my favourite and ended up buying several ..... as you do.

After colouring this one with Promarkers I added some Glossy Accents to all the places I thought the paint would be wet (this is something I had seen Hazel at Just Add Glitter do and I wanted to try it for myself).  I then added a sentiment. a few buttons and a bow to complete.

Why not pop over to the  Crafty Boots Challenge blog and see all the fabulous cards the other Design Team Members have made.

Honey Pip

I needed a quick thank you card and felt that this lovely Sugar Nellie Stamp would be perfect.

  

I coloured this Honey Pip stamp with Promarkers and mounted her on mirror card and a Brenda Walters paper.  I then added some lace and a sentiment from Kanban Crafts.

Eski Bo and Bea

A good friend of mine is really not enjoying our current weather.  She is in her 80's and finds it hard enough to get about as it is without a foot of snow trapping her indoors.  So I wanted to send her a card to cheer her up.

My friend has a wicked sense of humour and I think she will appreciate this Teddy Bo and Bea Eskimo image.

What a Jolly Bow

I really enjoyed colouring Jolly Giraffe from Teddy Bo, although you need a steady hand to do his mane!

I printed the image on the Crafty Boots Deluxe Crafters Card and coloured it with my Promarkers, the card is from C&C.  I have not added a sentiment yet, I will leave that until I send the card and know what I want it to say.

Congratulations

It has been very exciting recently with celebrations all round, as two members of my family announced their engagements.

I have chosen one of my favourite Teddy Bo images for this card.

I coloured the image, which is called Love Swing, with my Promarkers and cut the shapes with my Nesties.  The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the paper from DoveCraft.  If you look very carefully you should be able to see a tiny gem on her ring finger.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Craft Us Crazy - Love
Drunken Stampers Challenge - Something New (The flowers)
Hotshot Craft Challenge  - Flowers
Oldie but a Goodie Challenge - Have a Heart (Card, Nesties and Promarkers)
