Perfect Pear

It's not often that I look at a sketch and go 'ooh that' but this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch came together in my mind pretty quickly! And then I got distracted with other things and nearly forgot to make it in time, oops!

I used papers from Recollections Charming pack, layered on a brown card base. I cut one of the papers with a note pad cutting file on my cameo and cut the circle frame on there too. The sentiment and adorable pear stamps are from Birdie Brown and I coloured the pears with my promarkers and added three little brown pearls as the only embellishment.

Friends Don't Let Friends Wine Alone

After fairly nice weather yesterday morning, last night we got more rain and today is as dull as dishwater. Meh. On the plus side, I started the day with a skype chat with my sister and my two gorgeous nephews!

I used a Bugaboo image and sentiment for this card, coloured with my trusty promarkers. The papers are from The Blackcurrant Stack, layered on card from the papermill. And I added a couple of flowers (I had despaired of not having purple flowers actually, but it tuns out these were tucked at the back of my flower drawer! I should really check out what else is hiding in their some day, lol!) and some gems, to finish.

I love the metallic flowers on the paper, unfortunate, it's a pain to photograph without it reflecting the light, lol! But it came out alright, I think!

Snappy Birthday

I used a Pollycraft image for this card, coloured with my trusty promarkers. The orange paper is from Pebbles love you more pack and I used my cameo to cut the 'stitched' rectangles and the film strip, finishing with a couple of little gems because well I'm me and I never met a gem I didn't like, lol!

May All Your Weeds Be Flowers

The weekend has arrived and with it just the smallest hint of summer... it's not exactly hot out but the sun is in fact shining and it's not pissing wet, so i'll take it! (My dog certain appreciates it, since it means he gets proper walks not just a quick in and out!)

I used a Pollycraft image on this card, coloured of course with my promarkers and paired it with a lovely sentiment from Digital Delights by Louby Loo. The papers are from my minds eye, lost and found 3, layered on card from the paper mill.

I cut the stitched card and the 'notepaper' on my cameo and added a couple of little punched butterflies, some twine and a few gems to finish it off.

Special Delivery

Two cards today surely makes up for the lack of productivity yesterday! At least that's what I'm going with! :D

I used papers from Grace Taylor's Lullaby paper pack, which is just so cute! I cut the heart circle on my cameo, but the border along the middle was done with a border punch from Martha Stewart.

The adorable image is from Digital Delights by Louby Loo and I've coloured it of course with my ProMarkers and I've paired it with a computer generated sentiment. The bear was cut on my cameo and I used twine and some gems to embellish.

Congratulations

Yesterday was a singularly unproductive day, as I woke with a blinding headache and sneezing my head off (which in no way helped the headache!) Somewhat better today, at least not sneezing, so got a GP appointment out of the way and enjoyed a nice lunch with a friend before coming home and settling into my craft room.

I used a gorgeous image from Just Inked Lines for this card, coloured with my promarkers. The sentiment is computer generated. The papers are from My Minds Eye, In Bloom pack, layered on grey card. I used some organza ribbon, tied into a bow and wrapped around my layers, some flowers and a die cut leaf flourish, cut on my cameo and finished it off with some pearls.

Cheers To You

I don't even drink very often, but I dearly wish right now I was on a nice beach somewhere, with a couple of these and a stack of books... because it's another horribly miserable day outside!

The image is from Digi Doodle Shop, coloured with my promarkers and I added a computer generated sentiment. I cut a card base with orange card from the paper mill. The papers are from Vol. 4 of The Paper Stack magazine and I tore the two top layers. Cut the circle die on my cameo and added a few gems of course to finish it off.
