Sorry

Evening all, i appologise in advance for any type o's but im typing so fast as the closing ceremony is just starting!! i must say its looking amazing already!

This card is another for my box to hopefully sell one day (if i ever find the the confidence lol)

Its another Krista Smith image and i love the look on her face - just like one of my girls when they haave been caught doing something wrong.

I've coloured her with both my pro's and prisma's.

I've used a bit of a different colour combo for me but i think i quite like it. 

I used some really bright and cheery papers which were a freebie in this months Card Making & Papercraft magazine and backed it with some more of my cordinations card.

The little frame around the amage has been made with a Nellies multi frames die and i used the negative leftovers to cut out the little paper corners, the sentiment was cut with a co-ordinating die.

I also used the smaller die to create a little tag (poking out from behind the image), it has a little space for a hidden message.

My flowers are a mix of WOC and Craft Box, the charm and ribbon are from my stash.   The inside has been decorated to compliment the front as always.

Thank you so much for visiting and any comments you may leave.

The Sweetest Fairy

Hello dears welcome to my little space again!

I'm having a lovely week spending time with my girls and also spending time in my craft room - I dont think ive ever made so many cards in 1 week!

Onto todays card - its a very clean and simple card for me but I wanted to show off the image.

This is one of Mo Mannings delightfull baby fairies, isnt she (or he) so adorable???

I bought the whole set so i'm think of making them all into similar cards and all with lovely bright hair lol.

I coloured the image with my prisma's - can you tell how much  Ilove these pencils, I feel I need more colours though.  I used plenty of stickles on the wings.

I simply backed the image with a few layers of glitter card in maching colours as I wanted a monochromatic feel.

A simple LOTV sentiment,  backed with matching glitter card die cuts and the inside kept very simple and all finished.

One last pic:

I do hope you like me (not so little) card.

Thank you so much for visiting and any comments you may leave - I truly appreciate them!

Class cards

Hello dears and welcome to my lovely new followers - it means so much that you have chosen to visit me and stay with me!!!

I've finally had chance today to finish a coupl of Sarah Kaye cards I started in a class at Whichcraft in Doncaster. I had a lovely day but I must say I did not get on well with using Copics! I wasted so much time trying (and cursing) that I had to fetch both cards home unfinished.
I'm pleased I did though as it has given me chance to change them about a bit and add a few extras ;-p

Hope you like my little cards

No challenges today - that would be cheating really wouldn't it.

Hugs xx Cara xx

Oooops almost forgot

Nearly forgot to post the pic of the matching box for the baby card - sorry for the rubbish pic though!

New Baby Girl!!!

Afternoon my dears.
I have a week off work and boy was I ready for it.  I'm having a lovely relaxing day with my girls and i've even managed to fit in some crafting.

I'm not entirely happy with this card but I cant quite put my finger on what's missin - maybe you could let me know? i would appreciate it!!!

This card is for my hubby's friend whos partner gave birth to a sweet teeny tiny baby girl yesterday.

I love love love this darling image from LOTV, ive been waiting to use it for so long, it's great too because you can use itfor boy or girl cards.

As you can see I went a bit embellie mad lol

As you can see i made a circle easel card, i really wish i had a grand callibur though as my small nesties are far too small for even the smallest of cards ;-(

Here's my recipe:

Card - craftwork cards and cordinations
DP - Dovecraft - Little owl
Image and sentiment - LOTV (coloured with prisma pencils)
Flowers - WOC and Prima
Pearl string, lace and seam binding - the ribbon girl

I do hope you like my little card, thanks for looking.

Hello dears!

I'd like to share a card today which I made for one of my team at work who was off ill (poor thing) the trouble is I took so long to make it she came back before I had finished it!!

I must admit it does take me forever to make my cards simply because I cannot fit the time in, if it was up to me I would live in my craft room 😔.

Anyway onto the recipe:

LOTV image coloured with prisma's
Wild Rose Studio new papers -Strawberry picnic
Cordinations card for backing
Whimsy corner die
WOC flowers

I do hope you like my card.

Take care dears, hugs xx cara xx

LOTV pirate

Evening all, what a lovely day I've had. I visited a craft class with my very lovely friend today. We went to whichcraft in Doncaster and had a lovely time creating 2 cards with Sarah Kaye stamps. I had a bit of a fight with the copics we were using so I had to fetch my cards home unfinished to colour again with my beloved
Promarkers.

On to today's card - I got this stamp from the Summer Crafting event earlier this month and couldn't wait to ink it up.

Now I don't have much call for boys cards (and I struggle with them) but Ii really enjoyed colouring this little cutie. I used my prisma's this time.

The lovely card blank is from whichcraft and the papers are new also - they were a freebie with a mag tho.

I have embellished with card candi and two adorable tiny tags also a new purchase from LOTV. The lovely ribbon is from the ribbon girl.

So sorry about the picture quality I just couldn't get decent light.
I hope you like my little card and forgive me for the format of my post - I've had to resort to blogging from my iPhone as my pc is on its last legs.

Hugs xx cara xx
