Marlene's Blog Candy

As promised I'm back, albeit a little late, but I've actually had an opportunity to make a few cards today and catch up on some of the challenges. I've got one to post tonight but will have to photograph the others tomorrow morning in the daylight.

This card is for Marlene's blog candy....she's got some wonderful candy on offer and to take part, all you have to do is make a card in her favourite colour green, using some ribbon. Now, I have to admit that I am really out of my comfort zone using green.....don't know why, but I try to avoid it if I can. Because of this, I've kept the card very simple and in fact, based my previous card for Tilda & Co., on this one.


For this card, I've used Edwin sat on his pencil again, coloured with Prismas and Sansodor with glamour dust on his wings. He has been cut and embossed with Nestabilities and a Woodware sentiment stamped underneath him. I've used Pink Petticoat olive green designs printed onto lightweight c.s. with the plain piece embossed with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder. White grosgrain ribbon from Dovecraft was used and image was added with foam pads.

Stamp Something Red, White and Blue!

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted anything for a little while but life has been so hectic and I have been finding it very difficult to get inspired to make anything. However, it's Friday which means it's time for the Stamp Something challenge and this week the very talented Melissa has set it! The challenge this week is a two parter - to create something in red, white and blue, and have it be ANYTHING BUT A CARD! This challenge is based on the fact that it's Independence Day in the States very soon so I have taken my inspiration from the Stars and Stripes, plus Lewis, my eldest Son, has been nagging me for ages to make him a book so this is what I came up with..... I've used my Bind It All to make the actual book and covered it with Pink Petticoat papers printed onto lightweight card and stuck some Doodlebug ribbon across the join. The image is Magnolia (which was a RAK from someone) and I've coloured him with Prismas and Sansodor adding Glamour Dust to his...
