Golf Wedding Card

Another card I made a while ago (and again the pictures didn't come out brilliantly).
This one took a bit of thinking about as the brief I was given was "just a traditional wedding card" which sounded fine and then he added "they like golf and camper vans" neither of which seemed a natural fit on a tradtional wedding card.

I opted to go with the golf as the easier of the two options.


Supplies used
Stamp - unknown greeting
Tools - Nestability circles, cuttlebug bubbles folder (for golf balls), Martha Stewart punch
Embellishments - paper flowers and organza ribbon, pearls
Paper - DCWV Luxary paper stack

New Baby Tag Pocket Card

This card was made a while ago for a friend from work but never got around to uploading it, unfortunately the pictures didn't come out very well.

Supplies used

Stamp - Simon and Lola
Colouring Medium - Marvy le Plume
Embellishments - Spellbinders tag, Martha Stewart border and butterfly punch
(I can't remeber wha the papers are)

I finished the tag with a rub on, but again can't remeber where it came from.

Tilda With Blueberries

This is the first time I have got round to using this Tilda With Blueberries image and on recently seeing how many flowers i had i decided to use a few more than usual.

The papers I used are magnolia and DCWV and I coloured the card with Prisma Pencils and inked the background with distress inks.

To embellish it I machine stitched round each of the layers and added flowers, lace, ribbon, pearls, punched butterflies, jewels and a pin & beads.


The inside of the card has been designed to mirror the layout on the front.




I am entering this card for the following challenges:

• A Spoonful of Sugar - Sketch
• Papertake Weekly - Triple-tastic
• Tuesday Throwdown - Lace
• Magnolia Stamplovers - Dies
• Totally Gorguss - Pearls & Lace

As I don't really have many outlets for selling my cards at the moment, I have decided to list this card for sale on Ebay.

Thanks for looking. Carolyne

The Surfer

I decided to try using the Edwin Surfer that came with one of the Magnolia Stamp Club sets. I coloured him in using prisma pencils and inked the background using ink dusters and distress inks. I used DCWV Dress it up (blue/green) and magnolia skull and crossbones papers.

I embellished the card using a DCWV stitched ribbon, a time holtz dies cut swirl which I embossed with black glitter embossing powder to add texture. three pewter brads and a Lili of the Valley sentiment.

I am entering this card for:

• The Paper Play Challenge - Stamp it Out (Fri)
• The Just Magnolia Challenge - Anything Goes & Ribbon

Blue Poppy Girl

I decided to try out this sweet Sarah Kay image for a change. I have quite a few but haven't used them that much in the past as i found as I struggled to get a clear image using my water based inks (as the ink seem to pool a bit on the stamp) but since i bought a "clearly better" ink pad I've had much better results.

I used a DCWV romance (brown) and two Nitwits papers (blue), coloured the image with prisma pencils and imked the background with ink dusters and distress inks. I embellished the card with an organza bow which I heated slightly to get it to crinkle up and a couple of die cut corners.
