Forever Friends Christening Card

Hello everyone, happy Easter...

Here's my card share for today. My mum has asked me to make her a christening card so here goes...

The base card is 6x6 scalloped. I've had the backing paper for years, it came from create and craft as part of a kit. I also have a blue version. I've added a pink glitter card panel which I've cut with a scalloped edge and added a bow and ribbon, which actually has roses on but isn't very clear in the photo. I really must get my proper camera out but it's so easy just to use the iphone...I've added some lace behind the image. The image is from Forever Friend's New Arrivals stamp set. I just adore Forever Friends. I've used my promarkers and edged with spun sugar distress ink. I printed out the sentiment using Word and cut it with a spellbinder die. I found a pink flower, made of textured material, in my stash and added a pink pearl to the centre.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges :-
Bizzy Bec - Texture
One stop craft challenge - Pastel & die cuts
Divas by design - Anything goes

Thank you for visiting...I hope you like what you see and will tell your friends. I love it when you leave me a message, your words of encouragement mean a lot to me....See you again soon.

Happy crafting

Little Robin Christmas

Hi everyone, I'm back with another card to share. This time it's a Christmas card...

The image came free with a docrafts magazine ages ago. It's one of my favourites. I love Forever Friends. I've coloured with promarkers and cut the image out with Spellbinders Labels Three. The die cut has then been edged with sakura gelly roll glitter pen in green. The backing paper is from my stash. I've added some organza ribbon and a doily. I found a corrugated red star in my stash so used this to frame the sentiment brad (which says Merry Christmas). The red flowers have been stashed away for quite some time and are made of felt. Here are some close-ups...

I would like to enter this in the following challenges :-

Cosy Christmas

Good morning everyone...hope you are well and enjoying your crafting...
Here's my card share for today. Another Christmas card for my collection. I can't believe I'm so organised!

I've used one of my favourite Forever Friends stamps and my favourite colours for a Christmas card, traditional red and green. The backing paper is from a 12x12 pad called The Christmas Stack by DCWV. I've had it a good few years, patiently waiting to be used. I've edged both the backing and the image with a warm green colour box fluid chalk inkpad. The sentiment is stamped with onyx black versafine ink. The snowflake has been cut on my cricut from the Sesame Street Seasons cartridge. The image has been coloured with promarkers and 'blinged up' with green glitter, white flock (on the bobble) and glamour dust snow. Here's a close up of the image.
