3 Digi Stamp Cards and 1 Decoupage Sheet Card

Afternoon, I actually ventured out this morning in the cold to have coffee with a girlfriend. It wasn't so cold as other days but it was still trying to snow at times. We had a lovely chat and put the world to right. Lol!!!! Blogger has once again turned one of my cards on its side and there is no rhyme or reason. It isn't anything to do with the size of the actual card or the picture size it just decides to do it. Lol!!! So once again you will have neck exercises.

For this cute card I have used a giveaway digi image by Inger Harding Design. It is called "Get Well Soon" The colouring medium used is Promarkers. The bp is from Brenda Walton's 6 x 6 Scrapbook Designer Papers pad by K & Company. I have used Spellbinders Oval Nesties Large to mount.

This cutie is a digi image from Crafty Ann. The colouring medium is again Promarkers. The bp is from The Stack6 Paper Pad from DCWV. I have used a Flora Doodle from Joanna Sheen to finish it off.

For this decoupage card I have used a free bp download from Jak Heath, Crafters Kitchen. The decoupage sheet is House Mouse "Home and Garden" from Joanna Sheen. The ribbon is from my stash.

For this one I have used a digi stamp from Mo Manning called "Out There" Colouring medium is Promarkers. Both the bp's are a free download from Jak Heath, Crafters Kitchen. The ribbon and buttons are from my stash.

Thank You for looking today and your comments are appreciated.

3 More Order Cards

Good afternoon, well it is snowing here again today! Not settling as yet so I hope it stays that way. I hate the snow when you are frightened to go out incase you slide on your b--. I feel sorry for the elderly especially if they have no family to take care of them.

This card is the second choice for my customer to choose from. Very similar to the first I made but I have used a differnet colour and type of card. To be honest I wasn't happy with the first one as I could see the faults! The image once again for this one is from Google. The card is blue Stardream card. The image is mounted and the letters cut from red Stardream card. The image has been put through 3D Card Builder2 to pyramage and printed onto satin photographic paper.

This is the third Choice for the order. The main image & bp image are from Google. The bp image has been put through MCS to make it a tile bp. Both have been printed onto satin photographic paper and mounted onto gold mirri card. The sentiment is gold peel offs. Edges distressed with Tim Holtz Fired Brick Distress Ink.

This one is an order from a neighbour for another neighbour's 90th Birthday. The image & 2 bp's are from Jayne Netley Mayhew's CDROM from Joanna Sheen. They have been mounted onto gold mirri card. Age and sentiment is a gold peel off from my stash.

I have been busy lately with orders, I might have time this afternoon to have a play and do what I want! Have a good afternoon.
