An 80th Birthday Card

Ive managed to make another card.   My friend asked me to make a card for her cousin who is 80 on the 7th November, she was anxious to get it in the post before the dreaded postal strikes.   I used one of the Pixie downloads from Charmed crafts.  The sketch I used is a recent one from Sketch Saturday I think but I didnt enter it into the challenge cos I was too late.  I used my nesties to make the scalloped mounts but unfortunately my camera has made the mirror card glare a bit.  I coloured her in with my prismas and used glitter on her wings.    


I hope to get some more cards done after I come back off holiday.   Going easy on the decorating for the rest of the week.    Ive had a dreadful bad back, caused by a muscle strain, which I did by hula hooping on my daughters Wii Fit, shant be doing that one again.   Its much better than it was though.

Madison birthday card

Time for another card. I wasn't going to do any crafting last night but my craft room was calling to me. I went up there to look for some tent pegs for our caravan awning but didn't find them! Then I tidied the mess from previous crafting episodes and then I coloured this cute image of Madison for my daughters friends birthday card. I based the colours around the designer paper which is from a retro pack from DCW (think Ive missed a letter out) Used ink to distress the edges, used my swiss dots cuttle bug folder to emboss the sentiment and coloured Madison with my prismas. The flowers I layered up with primas and quilled ones. Thank you for looking

Spanish Senorita!!!

As I have lots of family birthdays coming up in the next few weeks, I thought I would make a start on them. It isn't for any challenges but I have used a past sketch. I keep my sketches in a little notebook so that I can refer back to them when I need to. Any how this card is for my niece Alice, she is 12 so I thought that she needed a more grown up card. I have used my new downloads from Charmed Crafts and used Holly from the World Tour collection. Thank you for looking
