White Wolf

Had two card orders from a colleague for his daughter. Well, actually his daughter ordered them through him!
The first (to be from her brother) had to feature a wolf or wolves. I found a beautiful black and white image and decided to go for a black and white theme.

The image is mounted on white glitter card and plain black card. For the background I used a white gloss card and embossed it and used black and white satin ribbons down the centre.

I finally got round the using the large black gems I got for my birthday and stuck one in eacg left hand corner.

I cut up a string of pearls into different lengths and used black and white ribbon to create bows

I made a box rather than an envelope and decorated it with two strips of light sliver card, cut with martha stewart punch (forgot to take a picture though!).

Blue Eyed Boy

Think this little boy is very cute! I made this card with someone in mind but didn't give him this card in the end (gave him a better one of course!)

Time for Tea

I think this little girl is so cute and cross between the characters Alice and Heidi!

She is from Kraftin Kimmie and coloured with promarkers.

Backing papers are a hotchpotch collection of all sorts!

Hot Pink Birthday card

I recently brought some hot pink mirror board and was itching to use it. I had used a little on a card when I first brought it but had quite a bit left over.

I have made this card for Step-daughter to give to OH granddaughter for her birthday. She is hitting that tween age so didn't want to go from something too girly but also didn't want to go to for a teenage type of card. I think this one is a good mixture of the two.

The image is coloured with promakers and I used the Xcut nesting dies to cut the image out and then a larger one to cut the backing.

I embossed the mirror board on the side and I love the effect that embossing haves on mirror board.

 I really hope she likes it!

Mucky Pup

Not craft related in the slightest but had to share this! Popped round to see my brother and sister in law and my little nephew (20 months) was busily eating his dinner. However, he decided he didn't need to use his knife and fork, or even his hands. Instead. he went head first into his dinner!

Steampunk Birthday card

Seems like Steampunk is going to be the next thing in card making and I wanted to get in on the action! I love the whole genre, I find there is something very slightly disturbing about it. I think that comes from the films and games (mystery case files, sherlock holmes etc) in the steampunk genre with a sinister edge!

Anyway, couldn't wait to try out a steampunk card so when Kenny K brought out their Steampunk Burlesque images I had to give it a go!

The image is Scarlett West from Kenny K and she is coloured with promarkers.

The papers are from Hobbycraft (and where is all there steampunk stuff??? Spent a good hour trawling the place yesterday!).

I brought the clock face and cogs from the jewellery section in Hobbycraft and used a Tim Holtz mask to create the compass.

I used some of the left over paper to create the corners and used my layered arches martha stewart punch on them.

Mister Old Fart

Made this card with someone in mind but it is sitting in my card box at the moment.

The image is from Bugaboo. He is coloured with promarkers and have used a plaid backing paper. I used my scalloped dots Martha Stewart punch on the red card and added some sticky green ribbon to match the backing. I printed the sentiment as wanted a different front from that used on the sentiment that came with the image.
