Here's a card I made for a lovely crafty friend's birthday recently. I haven't made many oriental themed cards lately, forgot how much I enjoy oriental work, must do a few more! If you are visiting my blog, please leave me comments, I really enjoy reading them.

Happy Birthday Sis !

Here's a card I made for my lovely Sister in Law for her birthday. Using a Whiff of Joy image "Fingers Crossed" I coloured the image with Promarkers/Copics highlighted the small heart in the sentiment and the butterfly with Diamond Glaze. Cut out the image with my Nestabilities, flowers are from Prima and ferns were cut using a Martha Stewart punch.

Hanglar & Stanglar

For this one I used up one of my 'precious' Hanglar and Stanglar images that a crafty friend sent to me, isn't she cute?! I also wanted to use a stamp which Susana of Susana's Custom Art and Card Design sent to me among the free gifts she sent with my last order from her. I stamped it on the background card, then again, coloured it with promarkers/copics and cut it out and decoupaged it. I used brads as pegs for each of the 'danglers' to add to the 3D impression. The flower was amongst a pack bought in the USA on my recent trip and I used on of my Martha Stewart border punches on the brown layer. The note pages were made using a Magnolia stamp and the metal embellishment came within a DoCrafts 'goody bag' bought a while ago from the Art Shop at Kelly Bray.

Monochrome Pink Faerie Song

This is another card made for the SCAC monochrome challenge on Paper Craft Planet. Again using a Faerie Song stamp, coloured this time with promarkers, prima Daisy Dream flowers and pink flower gem, all purchased in the USA. Martha Stewart border punch round the edges of the white layer and some squares of papers which were free in a magazine.

Monochrome Green Faerie Song

I made this card for the PaperCraftPlanet.com challenge in the SCAC forum, based on the May sketch. Using a Faerie Song stamp, coloured with polychromos pencils, blended with sansodor. The flowers and gems were purchased in the USA and the ferns made with a Martha Stewart punch.

Happy Birthday Charlie

I'm trying uploading individual images rather than putting all my cards into a slide show. This card was made for my youngest grandson's birthday. Sugar Nellie stamp; Magnolia tag stamp with handwritten text; cuttlebug greeting and embossing folder; nestabilities plain oval and scalloped oval; image coloured with polychromos pencils and blended with sansodor; Fiskars threading water border punch.

My photographic skills leave something to be desired! Must try harder with the focussing!

Another card made for Charlie's birthday, sent on behalf of my son. This time using a Magnolia stamp; cuddly buddly sentiment; oval and small round nestabilities; coloured with polychromos pencils and sansodor; papers free from a craft magazine
