A Birthday card

This card is for a friend who is turning Sixty this year, and I didn’t want to do the usual plastering her age on it as I thought she may get quite a few of those, the image is another Lili of the valley that I managed to get at the craft show show the other weekend, believe me they were selling out like hot cakes,

I’m entering this for the following challenges,

LaLaLandscrafts~ no DP, Paperplay~ Birthday for someone special, Dutch Dare~ Summer in Winter,

Items Used;

Distress inks,

Lili of the valley stamp,

Stickles~ crystal,Star dust,

Flowers~Papermania, ribbon ~ stash,

MS~ Butterfly punch,

I’ve edged the Nestie oval with the stickles as I didn’t want to back it with anything, and highlighted the butterfly antenna and flower centre,

I’ve also changed my blog background, let me know what you think,

Not long to the new challenge OSAAT, starts on Sunday in case you missed it, hope to see you there,

Have a good day, hugs Liz xx

Just for fun and a reminder

Just a quick reminder that it’s the start of the new one stitch at a time challenge going live on Sunday, Valentines day, there are some lovely candy and digi images to be had so make sure you pop over to the blog  here and check out the details, also you can check out Stitchy’s lovely digi images here 

It’s my next door neighbours birthday this week and he loves light colours, he’s in his seventies but thought this cute image would be ideal for him,

Items Used,

Lilli of the valley stamp,

Fiskars border punch,

Copics,

Distress inks,

Buttons,

The image is coloured in Copics, and I sponged the background with Antique linen for the sky, and Shabby Shutters for the ground, the edge of the card is an old fiskars punch I’ve had for years,but seems to go really well on men's cards, I didn’t want to make it to dark so I’ve kept it simple with just the addition of a few buttons to keep the colours flowing and added interest, hope your all having fun,hope to see you at OSAAT, thanks for looking Hugs Liz xx

Just for Fun

Hi, I’ve been a bit busy this last few day’s as I went to a craft show in Manchester, it’s my birthday tomorrow so hubby said I could have some craft stuff, it was good but heaving with folk, good job we got there early lol, anyway Lili of the Valley were there and I just had to buy some stamps, they are so cute, so expect some cards to be coming along  soon,

I made this card with one of the stamps I got as someone asked me for a baby card and I just couldn’t resist him lol,

I’ve coloured him in with Copics and the papers were free downloads from Here, the buttons are brads, and I’ve added a computer sentiment,

For my second card I’ve been asked for a Diamond Anniversary card,so I’ve done Iris folding Champagne glasses and added glittery hearts that shine and sparkle when the light catches them, 

The colours look a bit darker on here than in reality,  I used Pearlized card for the main front, and added crystal dots and crystal hearts for the Fizz,

Hope your all having a good day, thanks for looking,
