This is the easle card I have made for my Sister-in law for her birthday, she is in her seventies but loves to dress up for special days and this Clarity stamp is so elegant it made me think of her.

The image is coloured with promarkers, nestie mounted then layered onto card which I have "quilted" on my Hougie board, i used pearl gems at the intersections. I added a matching border
strip with a promarker coloured ribbon and a lovely Joanna Sheene tassle and mounted the whole thing on some holographic card just for a bit of Bling

Image (which I coloured with promarkers) sentiment and acetate butterfly are all from swaps. thankyou friends x

I made the blue butterfly by twisting gold picture hanging wire into round itself twice then spliting some wires out to form antenii, the wings are tear drop gems. I made the plain white flower match by colouring the centre with promarkers and edged the petals with a versamark pen and heat embossed with gold powder

The squares and circles are nesties

try a new technique challenge

Hello over on MSE the challenge set by last fortnights winner Wannabyrich is to try something new so I decided to move out of my comfort zone and use "romantic" techniques with lace,ribbons, distress inks and go completly overboard. Now have I gone too far? answers in the comments box please:)

The image is stamped onto photo paper then distressed with scissors and inked with TH spun sugar, faded lipstick and crushed olive I used the same inks on the flowers, rubbing them on the pad and then spreading the ink with a water brush to get the faded "pressed flower" look. I mounted the image onto a piece of old net curtain from my scrap bag wrapped round burgandy card then onto gold mirri. Ribbons, lace borders flowers and a "bugged" panel were all added

MSE Purple/lilac card challenge

only 36 hours to go for this challenge so I am only just in time:):)

The image is from the lovely padster so not sure of its home or name but I think she is lovely. Lots of different purple/lilac Promarkers to colour her and the frames are cut on my bug with a nestie, of course,
