MSE Green challenge

This is for the MSE 'Green Challenge'.
The would be ballet girl is in 3D decoupage, in a lovely shade of green and I have emphasised it with a green glitter gel pen. The flourish stencils are in silver ink and coloured withone of the greens from my new whispers pen set. I have used a green spotty insert paper, but you can't see that very well. I have used a pearlescent (sp?) card.

101 Dalmations


Another 3D card, I do like doing these and everybody loves 101 Dalmations. Used my marvy wet look markers on his collar and the stamp is from the freebies in this months Creativity mag.

Water Challenge? - not quite!

This was the card I had in mind to enter into the mse water challenge, but it didn't quite turn out as I had hoped. The beach hoarding, starfish and ropes are all in 3D.
I didn't enter in the end as not up to the standard of the other cards and anyway, hadn't sorted out how to upload photos at that stage lol!

Baby Card


I made this card as I love the image. Its a 3D decoupage mounted on some blue paper and rainbow mirra card. It is so cute!

I love these cards as I love the colour of the flowers and leaves. I have curled the petals to make them more life like.

I

Black and White

This is one of my early attempts using black and white free image from Crafty Kitchen blog, it does look much better than in my picture.
I have layered the paper using silver mirra card and then offset the flower. Think it could probably do with some words, but I've left it blank until an occasion arises!

Square Room Card


This is my first attempt at making a room card. I made it for my Mum for Mothers Day.

The idea was to base it on flowers as my parents live in France, so I couldn't just pop in to see her with some flowers for Mothers Day so I thought I would put some in a card for her.

There are lots of butterflies and fairies and in the pockets I put lots of verses and a bookmark that I made.

It took me absolutely ages to make, but I was pleased with the end result.

Square Room Card


This is my first attempt at making a room card and I am quite proud of it. It was for my Mum for Mothers Day.
