Simply Betty Steampunk Challenge

Simply Betty Steampunk Challenge

This is my entry for the Simply Betty Steampunk Challenge which Betty very kindly provided the image for.

This was my first attempt at a steampunk card but I think I got the basic concept, it did take a few days of popping in and out of the craft room but I'm so glad I took my time. Shes such a cute image (am I allowed to call steampunk cute? :-)

Again I cant believe what a frugal crafter I have been again. The pearl pin, clog paper and the paper I used for the rose were from my Alys Den RAK last year, the rose paper wasn't quite the right colour so I coloured it with my promarkers. I also coloured the image with promarkers, adding a little diamond glaze here and there. The ribbon was from a friend, and the keys were earring I bought many years ago in a sale in Claires.

Thanks again Betty for the image https://www.facebook.com/groups/486424581374935/

Morning Betty and Bette Davis

Morning Betty and Bette Davis

This is my very favourite image from Simply Betty so far and she makes such a cheeky card, especially with the sentiment. 

 Betty was coloured using promarkers, papers from my stash and news paper card candi

Thank you teacher cards

One of the girls in work asked me to make a card for her daughters primary school teacher and this is what I finally came up with. Originally I'd planned to use white embossing powder as writing on the blackboard but it failed miserably so i settled on die cut letters with diamond glaze. I used my promarkers to colour this fabulous free whimsy stamp with her hair the same colour as the little girls. I was really happy with how it turned out, and when I took it into work I was asked to make a few more. 

 A work in progress (I love doing multiple identical projects)

Thank you for popping by and allowing me to share my creations xox

My first blog challenge

This is my first blog challenge so I'm very excited

Last year for my friends Natalie's 30th birthday she had a fancy dress party, she dressed up as She-ra, so this was the perfect image to make into her birthday card this year. Silly me thought her birthday was on the 30th of Jan but just looked in my birthday book today and it was tomorrow, so i'm hoping she'll love her card and forgive me :-)

To make this card I used up some stash that I've had for ages, the glitter card was from the children's art section in tesco, the red pearlised card was from Dunelm mill, the gems I got in Bargain books (£1 for lots of coloured gems - bargain indeed). The star paper was a freebie by Jennifer Ellroy in a magazine a few years ago (I can't believe how thrifty this card has been given the amount of stash I buy :-) ). She-ra is an amazing freebie from MayzyArt and I coloured her with my promarkers and added a touch of glossy accents to her ruby in her crown. 

I'd like to enter her into the MazyArt challenge #008 anything goes

My first blog hop

Happy saturday everyone,

I've just been on my first blog hop today and what fun, it was by teddy Bo for their birthday and the goal was to collect letters and then use the word in a phase on their comments for a chance of winning £20 in digi vouchers :-)

I spent last night playing with my pro markers colouring and with a glass of wine and a very sleepy dog, I had a lovely me night. Ill post photos when I'm next at my laptop (except for simply Betty's secret release-that you'll have to wait for).

Enjoy your weekend

Teddy bo grandad card

I'm working through showing you all my favourite cards.

This is a card I made using some fantastic free teddy Bo stamps, large scalloped punch and free papers in 2012, it was for a grandad from his young granddaughter and grandfather so the stamps were perfect.

I coloured teddy Bo and Bea with promarker and I'm really happy with how it turned out :-)
