Hello ladies!! Hope you're having a good Tuesday. It's a horrible miserable rainy day here in Essex so I've taken the opportunity to do a bit of crafting as I've got some orders to fill and am running out of time on all of them!!
So onto my first card which is for my Mum's birthday. I LOVE this stamp! It's called Dahlia Hen and it's by Whipper Snapper. It reminded me of my Mum- mother hen and all that! I've entered this for the Creative Card Crew Challenge who's challenge is ribbons and gems and 365 Cards Challenge who's challenge is Feathers! I coloured in the image with Lyra pencils and Sansador and have paper pieced her pinny. The papers are by Basic Grey. I used my nesties to create an apeture for Dahlia to sit in and then raised up the foreground to make it 3d- I hope you can see what I've done there! I then added a ribbon and cut out some little birdies from matching paper and added some rose hot fix crystals and sentiment.
Crafty stash used: Stamp (Whipper Snapper); Lyra colorsoft pencils; Papers- Basic Grey; Nesties; Ribbon (Poppicrafts); Hot fix crystals (Beadcraft); Sentiment (Craftwork Cards)
My second card is an order for my sister's friend and it's another chicken!! I LOVE these Whipper Snapper chickens- how did you guess?! I'm entering this as another card for 365 Card Challenge and also My Time to Craft Challenge who's challenge this week is scallops.
So again I coloured chicken with Lyra pencils and Sansador and paper pieced her pressie and ribbon. The papers are all by My Mind's Eye and I cut out the flowers from one sheet of the paper and added those as embellishments with scarlet hot fix crystals in the centre.
Crafty stash used: Stamp (Whipper Snapper); Lyra pencils; Papers (My Mind's Eye); Nesties; Sentiment (Craftwork Cards); Hot fix crystals (Bead Craft)
And my final card is another card order for my sis's partner. I was actually following the sketch for Crafts 4 Eternity but forgot that you also had to add 2 ribbons and a paperclip!! Doh!! So this little doggie is by Elzybells and I've coloured with copics and decoupaged his head and paws. The papers are all by Making Memories and I used the Sizzix buttons die to make the buttons.
Crafty stash used: Stamp (Elzybells); Copics; Papers (Making Memories); Nesties; Sentiment (Craftwork Cards); Sizzix die; Punch (Martha Stewart)
