I know the card wont be to everyones liking but I do like different for new baby cards. I also think now that the Magnolia bunny was a good buy as it's all I use on new baby cards!. I used some paper from the dcwv glitter stack, and everything else had to compliment those colours. Again those first step sizzlitt letters I used, I MUST buy another set of different letters but I like those!. I painted the bunny very thinly with a pink h2o, and the dots are a brown whispers pen, the flowers are mounted on 3 circles and they are prima, I added a ribbon as that end seemed bare. The half moon thats what I shall call it anyway lol, I ran the paper through the cuttlebug using swiss dots and then i used a half moon ruler thingy to guide it, thankfully its covered by the image as my free hand cutting is awful!. I am really pleased with it! Hope they are too!
One down a few more to go now!.x
I used a small sizzlitt circle and added a prima flower onto it, i then used smaller prima flowers to form a bigger circle, but because it looked a little gappy I added some gems to make the shape more visible. I dont tend to make cards using this colour combination and I am happy with it.
I stamped the image and painted it with h20's, i then used a purple inkpad to edge the image and mounted it on to some blue paper. I used 3 different coloured purple ribbons to tie the bow and attached that to the image. I also used some stickles on some of the bubbles, but not all of them as I didnt want the card to be overcome with glitter. I used 3d foam pads to stick the image to the card. The letters are sizzlitt first steps I couldnt decide between using chill or relax, but went with chill. I used the spots and dots embossing folder again, as i thought the circles would tie in with the bubbles.The flowers are prima.
We then moved the bag to try and get him out! and he was not impressed! with all the risks of him hurting himself we have moved the bag and he is not best pleased with us!
Well now I think I am addicted to challenges! lol, oh dear! But it is great to see what others are doing and get some much needed inspiration along the way!. So over on 
I was going to add either a button or some ribbon to the top corner then thought i would combine the two, It was only once I did it I thought I could add the little arrow ends on to the end of the ribbon, and again edged them with some gold ink. I am happy with it as its something I havent done before.
I am so chuffed with this card, it finished up looking exactly how it did in my minds eye, not often for me to be happy with the end result!, the close ups show a better likeness of the colour, no matter how many pics i took the card refused to show up good! I have had a huge sheet of baby pink mulberry paper for as long as i can remember so finally it has had a chunk taken out of it, not sure why i brought it as i am not a mulberry paper person usually!, mind you i say its mulberry the texture on it looks like the old wood chip wallpaper. The letters are cut from sizzlitts alphabet "first steps".
Awww and the feet, well.... i only had blue ones left!, so i thought about it for ages how can i make them different?! hmmm ok so i coloured them with whispers brown and left them to dry, 45mins later i was still getting little feet imprints on my fingertips, so clever me, i covered them in a layer of utee, but look close enough you can still see some blue, but the backing has some blue in the paper so its ok!
Yes its green!!! I am so fed up of all pink cards, touches of pink are fab though, and the dotty paper again some I have had for ages, I think from a hotp paper pad. I dont tend to be able to simple well, as my simple I always feel doesnt have enough on it, but this card I like, not sure if its because it is green or just because I am having a good craft day. The embossed piece is a cuttlebug folder, they came free with the machine and I dont think i have used it on a card yet! Its cute, I'll give it that. I like the postage stamp idea though and have a few more embossing folders to try to match it. I double layered both parts of the stamp.
Back to it now as I have a backlog of cards to get finished!
So the cuttlebug came out to play, so did the sizzix, I wanted to make a brown card for christmas and then realised i had a distinct lack of brown card, and then all my christmassy stamps are tooooooooo big to fit inside the oval, and that i seem to have no christmas embellishments the list goes on........!, so this is what i came up with, i actually hated it with a passion when it was finished, but it wasnt!, i picked up my waterbrush and added some watercolour to the cream oval, to give it a dirty old type of look, now it was finished and i loved it!!! so me being me i wanted to try it in another colour, hence the blue which i honestly dislike so much, it sat on my desk for 2 days unfinshed and i thought ughhhhhhh, so if you end up with it come christmas time, I LOVE YA REALLY! hehehe.
And this little kitty was left alone on my camera i had forgotton all about him, again brown and again i love it! think i have a fondness for brown!, crackle glaze again, that bottle sure is getting good use!!!!!! So now its back to the desk to see if any more christmas can be made, my method is if i make loads now then i wont be following the examples i led myself of last year and the year before of making christmas cards at the last minute, hopefully it will go to plan! I still havent managed to make the 2 christening cards i need, the months i had to do them are turning into weeks, and nothing is coming into the imagination, i attempted one and it looked like a sympathy card so that went in the bin lol, my daughter needs a simple happy 8th birthday card for her friend and even that was so challenging for me that its been sidelined!, maybe its too much christmas and not enough play. have a good weekend all.x
So I went to this colour scheme i love it! i used alcohol inks on vellum, and then stamped the paperartsy image on to it and embossed it with black powder, mounted them, and added them to each card, they are deffo not my usual type of christmas card, but i think people may just end up with some of these from me!
and these were the last two i made, i did 2 in the black as i loved it!, not so keen on the lilac but hey ho, i used a little glamour dust around the snowman himself, and decoupaged his scarf i added some fibres to the end f the scarfs, (bum fluff as i keep calling it, not sure why either), and thats me lot, i am quite happy with myself i didnt think i would get any crafting done at all this summer so yay for Christmas!!!!!!! Ho Ho Ho
