Best wishes...

Good evening all.

Hope you've had a nice day.
Well I have finally signed up to Facebook today, I always said I would never join but have noticed a lot of crafting things happening on there so thought I would take the plunge.

Im still finding my way around things on there. Theres lots to look at and work out, so any tips will be much appreciated. 

Right for  my second card today I used a gorgeous image from milkcoffee coloured with my promarkers and pencils, I also added a touch of stickles.

I've  made another easel card, I love how these stand and look.

Ive used DPs and tags from Kaisercraft and K&Co

I embellished with punched flowers, buttons, paper doily and gorgeous ribbon from my stash.

The sentiments are a mix from a couple of different stamp sets.

Good morning crafty friends

How are you today? 

well we are half way through the week, hope you are having a good one.

My card share for today is another image coloured with my pencils.. Thank you for all your comments on my previous attempts. I'm really enjoying practising my techniques and colours/shades with these pencils. I'm still yet to try them with my promarkers, just enjoying using them on their own with sansador and blending stumps.

I love this saturated canary image. I have used some old kaisercraft papers from my stash. I've embellished with lace, ribbon and sentiment also from my stash. The flowers and pearls are from WOC.

Dream Big

Good morning Crafters..

Hope you are all well and the sun is shining where you are..

The backing papers is from Kaisercraft (I think dont think you can see it in the photo but the paper has random butterflies on it).. The Think Big sentiment was from a pack of free preprinted ones.. I embellished with brads, flowers, and a metal corner decoration.

LOTV.. So Sweet..

Hello, me again.... You can probably tell I have managed to have several hours in my craft room today (hence all my posts today)..

My next card for today is a very adorable LOTV stamp coloured in my fav colour GREEN

I coloured the image using promarkers (blush, dusky pink, meadow green, leaf green, tulip yellow, black, pear green) I think this image in these colours are great for Spring.

The papers are Kaisercraft... I have added a sentiment that is also from the paper pack. It reads Anything unattempted remains impossible.  I have embellished with a green organza ribbon and tied it into a bow.. And three green flowers in a row..

I hope you like this card.. Thanks for all your comments and Welcome to my newest followers...

Good afternoon peeps, Hope you are all well and having a good week..

Well, I picked up my little bundle yesterday and she is absolutely beautiful, she really is a tiny tresure.. We have named her Poppy.. I will get a piccy posted soon.. My eldest son Harley is besotted with her.. He doesnt want to leave her alone, Bless him..

I have not managed any crafting for the past few days but her is one I managed to do a few days ago..

I think this stamp by Gillian F Roberts, I have a few of her stamps, they are really wonderful to work with, and cute images too..

I have coloured her with promarkers (blush, pastel pink, orchid, lilac, tan, caramel, ameythest' cool grey 2).. The backing papers are Kaisercraft.. I added metal mesh buttons and a purple flourish with a oraganze ribbon bow.. I also added a little charm from my stash (see close up pic below)

I enjoyed making this card.. I have not added a sentiment for a change as I have not decided for what occasion or who I am going to send it to.. I think it works well for a girly birthday or Mothers Day.

 I am entering this card  into the following challenges:
