Spring Birthday

Been busy, busy, busy with housework, washing, more washing and tidying up craft stash...OMG looks like I have been doing the spring cleaning isnt it amazing what a bit of sunshine can do...so thought I would take some time out to make a card that I have an order for and enter it into a few challenges...before I get on with a couple more card orders...

Carfty Catz...this week is spring...

Saturday Challenge...the challenge over at The Secret Crafter is also spring...

Passion for promarkers...I have followed their sketch...



The inspiration for my card came from the lovely crocus flowers that are in bloom everywhere just now...isnt it so nice to see some colour on the ground instead of snow...







What did I use?

Papers are the Spring Burst pad from papermania...

The rubber stamp is Shopaholic from Funky Kits...

I paper pieced the shopping bags and coloured the image with promarkers, using the following colours...Meadow Green, Apple Green, Amethyst, Lavender, Ivory, Sandstone, Shale, Dusky Pink, Pastel Pink and last but not least Gold for her buttons...

Flowers made from the xcut retro flower punch, the bling were clear gems for poundland that I coloured using promarkers...

Sentiment is from Craftwork Cards

Enjoy the spring weather and long may it continue...

Thanks for looking
*EDIT to post...no longer entering the promarkers challenge as I am tooo late.lol...I knew I should have left cleaning the windows until another day.lol...

Oh well there's always this weeks one...

50th Birthday Card...entering a few challenges...

Well I'm back with a card instead of doom and gloom...This card was made for my b/f's work collegue. I am going to enter it into the following challenges...

Crafty Catz...something for the boys

Creative Card Crew...Going Dotty

Cards for men...theme is for a man/boy...'Happy Birthday'

The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge...anything goes






I used a Digi stamp from Squigglefly called A Snack and A Nap, coloured in with promarkers, the sofa is paper pieced with some papers from the masculine pack from dovecraft...The pearlescent panel in has been through cuttlebug folder and raised on foam pads...I was seeing spots by the end of this one.lol...

All the background papers are from the same pack of masculine papers from Dovecraft designed by Jayne Bentley...I'm sure you will agree a great set for the lads...

Sentiment was made on pc, the 50th Birthday tag was a free download from Birds cards

I think it fits into the challenges and hope you like it...thanks for looking
