my promarker storage

There is a discussion over on MSE about storing promarkers so here is mine as you can see they hold 2 rows of 8 pens in each drawer and they do stack so at £1 each from Poundland I find them

fine

next 4 cards for life

still working on this challenge and posting on this blog encourages me to keep going

as you can see I am still loving nestie easle cards and the papers I have used are from the K and Co "Que Sara Sara" pad , the little girl is a swap from one af my lovely pals on MSE coloured with promarkers and the other toppings are from the " a bit odd " embellishments that came with the pad I am not sure if I like them or not but the did seem to match

Thanks for looking

and this is mine to her

this is the card I sent to Flourgirl, the theme green or lilac or both so this plate I had made with my (at the moment) favourite "poppies" stamp coloured with prismapencils fitted the lilac part and since I am also (at the moment) in love with nestie shaped easle cards I used green card for the easle

look what I got from Flourgirl

Look at the beautiful swap card I got from flourgirl in this months CP card swap isnt it stunning x thankyou Karen

craft for life again

This card is embellished with 2 paper scrunched flowers as per "the wife" instructions, they actually look better in life than photo, the image is of course another Sugar Nellie from the Autumn sheet, I did ask if there was a spring, summer and winter set too but unfortunatly not.

These are the next group of cards for

Creativity Craft for Life challenge I have used some butterfly vellum as a wrap and added ribbon and butterflys to decorate

I have more to blog but the dog wants a walk so ever the obedient slave I am off.

Thanks for looking x

Over on MSE Wanna-b-rich posted about her "nestie" easle card and I was completly blown away by her example, so much that I set out to make one myself. I chose a Label shape which I cut in two shades of blue, I coloured a prima flower with shades of blue promarkers and heat embossed the tips with gold powder added a acetate butterfly to the centre. I used teardrop shaped gemstones and twisted wire to make my butterfly at the left side. I decorated the base with matted nestie circles and a sentiment from stash.

I should like to enter this in Marg's "wings" challenge

found the challenge

I jotted down a sketch and made a card but now I am having a senior moment and have no idea what the challenge is or the time scale, but here it is anyway.

I have been playing about with masking images and have made masks for most of my "people" stamps so tried a floral plate stamp over the top of the beautiful Miss "Demure" sugar nellie stamp I think it works quite well. The papers are from Papermanias Rose Garden the flowers and brads from stash and the green "curlys" are cut with my cuttlebug and edged with mica gold

Thanks for visiting

Yes! I found it I should like to enter this in the Sugarbowl challenge Challenge 33 sketch with flowers

craft for life

I used the Docrafts V&A paper for this one and the matching stamp is heat embossed in copper I did not have a flower that went with the colour so experimented with a e line basic again and yes if you brush with a versamark pen then heat emboss with copper powder it will work.

still working on this and as I intend to make about 30, I am trying to keep the costs down and use my "stash" I made 2 cards with the same paper adding some glitter and crystal clear laquer to highlight some of the leaves and petals, a ribbon and some gems

windswept

During the recent storm I hid in the attic and crafted (when we had electricty) and although it was supposed to be "british summertime!" and I was supposed to be thinking about Easter what I wanted to craft with was this lovely Sugar Nellie young lady and since the Passion for Promarkers challenge this week called for 2 images I gave her a boy friend from the Autumn collection (also Sugar Nellie). I chose a leather textured card and stamped a treeline accross then colour tinted below. I stamped my 2 images with Memento pad and coloured with Promarkers Mustard,Tan,Oatmeal, Cocoa and Spice. I cut them out (that was the hard bit) and mounted them with silicone gel glue, double mounted the card on gold and yellow card added a ribbon from stash, and thats it.
