Birthday card for a 90year old lady ....

 

I used a LOTV 'Blooming Barrow' simply print image  for this pink birthday card and added the text before printing in a colour to co-ordinate with the flowers in the umbrella

 My floral arrangement includes ballerina blossom, exotic blossom, 30mm pale pink and 25mm pale pink roses, petite white beaded stamens, pink 20mm paper rose, tiny pink two tone rosebuds and a couple of sprigs of pearl cluster on a silver stem

 The ribbon for the bow is 25mm satin edge sheer and I have topped it with a 20mm pearl and diamante embellishment

The lace is Rosa Bianca white guipure lace

thanks for looking, see you soon

Lovely poppies!!

I like poppies and when I saw this image 'Poppy Wryn'  at Tiddlyinks I just had to download it and get it coloured in - I used Copic pens for this digital image - the flowers were highlighted with a fine white gel pen

A closer look at the image.  I added 3 red s/a pearls from a sheet of multicolour 3mm pearls

I added 15mm white satin ribbon and 19mm 'Alice' white guipure lace.  I made a bow and topped it with a white daisy, red poppy and a red heart and a white leaf pin from assorted wheels of pins

Another daisy and more poppies, those daisy leaves will be back in stock in a few days time.  The background paper is from Echo Park 'This and That'

I would like to enter this card into the TiddlyInks Challenge - 'Give Love'  (heart pin in flower arrangement)

You've gotta love a Westie ....

My favourite doggies - I love them (we have a Westie puppy, Miss Daisy, who is 17 weeks old and we had to say goodbye to our little boy Westie, Haggis, just over a year ago) so this image 'Annabelle & Puppy Love' from TiddlyInks is just perfect!   I coloured the image with Copics

I added shabby white ruffle trim topped with 6mm white pearl flatback trim adhered with 6mm double sided tape.  The ribbon is 38mm white spot/white organza topped with a pink gem/diamante oval shaped flatback embellishment. 

My flower arrangement includes pink and sky blue 20mm paper roses, a pale pink 30mm pale pink wild rose, green rose leaves and some petite white beaded stamens.  I popped a 3mm s/a flatback to the bow on the girl westie and on Annabelle

Copic pens used

Pink and Aqua Easter Card ...

I made this pink and aqua Easter card for a challenge where the theme was Spring and the card had to have an aperture - I diecut the centre from white card and then a larger circle from the patterned paper, making sure everything lined up by drawing feint pencil lines from the corners to find the centre correctly (rubbed out after card was finished)  The inside of the card has co-ordinating paper

My flower arrangement includes 20mm pink paper roses, aqua fabric blossom, white lily flowers, a large pink rosebud, green rose leaves and a sprig from a tiny pearl cluster on a silver stem.

The bow is made with pale pink Twinkle (it makes gorgeous puffy bows) and topped with a 14mm pearl cluster flatback.

I used Echo Park 'Spring' 6x6 papers.

I will enter this card into the members only Craft Addicts Facebook Group February Challenge

Buzzy-Bee birthday card ....

 

Couldn't wait to make a card which would show off the new enamelled bumble bee charms in the store.  I coloured the image with Copic pens and matted it onto toning card. 

I added Lyra white guipure lace, gold tiny ric, 15mm yellow gold satin ribbon, a bumble bee charm tied on with ivory hemp twine.

My flowers include 20mm yellow sun daisies, 20mm yellow roses, ivory petite beaded stamens, a white daisy and a couple of green rose leaves.

The background paper is from an Echo Park pad 'Magic and Wonder' and the image is 'Buzzy Bee Honey' from Polkadoodles
