Spring card with Picking Apples

Hi all today I am sharing a little spring card that I made late last night using Sugar Nellies picking Apples how sweet is she. A very quick and simple card simply stamped and coloured with promarkers and paper roses for added embellishment.I do apologise yet again for the quality of the photos I really do need to get a better camera when funds are a bit better.

I hope everyone is having a good day its a bit cloudy down here in the south of England but at least the rain is holding off.

I am entering this little one into the following challenges:

Splitcoast stampers sugar nellie-Spring card

Allsorts challenge-Birthday

one stop crafts-summer breeze
Pixie dust-cut it out

ooh la la-Bright and cheerful

Thanks for looking .

Award from the lovely Fern

Hi all look what the lovely Fern has just given me she is such a sweetie and OMG she is so talented please go take a look here at some of the wonderful things she creates.

For this award I need to say where i would like to be in 10 years time well I think I would love to make cards for a company to showcase their new products and a dream of mine would be to have my very own craft shop as crafting is my life along side Rob and my dog Blade.

So I am supposed to name 10 people to give this award to but you have all been so so good to me I couldn't possibly choose so if you are one of my 44 followers please accept this award and post it on your blog with pride as i have.

Take care and have a lovely day.

Rockabilly from The Greeting Farm

Hi ladies well thought I would share this sassy little number she is a cheeky cherry from The Greeting Farm and is the first stamp I have of theirs I do have some digis but I do love rubber(stamps that is lol).For this card I have used the sketch from Anya and friends saturday sketch but turned it around,coloured using promarkers,paper from Debbie moore and by the way I found out that the script is actually an old mince pie recipe thought i would share that useless bit of info lol.Also I have used a ms punch called doily lace and finished with ribbon and roses oh not forgetting she is matted onto label 4 nesties which i used the dotty cuttlebug folder to emboss.I have taken a piccy before I added the embellies so that you could see the image better as I new after adding the roses it would make it a little blurry which I apologise for :(

The challenges I am entering this one into are:

Anya and friends s.s-Sketch

Cowgirl up-red,white,black

Magical crafts-Black,white and 1 other

Thankyou for popping over i really appriciate it and hope to post again soon.

New Style For Me what do you think?

Hi girls so i got a little confused yesterday and got the Polka doodles challenge wrong read the post too quickly silly old me.Anyway I have made another card to enter the challenge but not sure what I think as I don't usually tear or rip the paper.Right the challenge was to use the free download bundle and make a card using the download plus a theme of dimension and texture.
For my card I decided to use a stamp I have had for some time but has been a little negleted its from a set called Ethel and Murray 2 very humourous set lol the sentiment is also from the set which I think is quite funny.There are loads of wonderful elements to the free downlads and I chose to take a piece of backing paper which was originally white with the text and used a brilliance triple inkpad to chance the colour( its a shame you can't see the pearlyness of the ink) then for added texture i tore the edges which is something I don't normally do.For Murray himself I decoupaged him but only one more layer to add dimension popped him on a nesties matt and added the text with foampads again to add more dimension.Murray has been coloured in with promarkers (as if you couldn't guess)lol.
Anyway ladies I am entering this crazy little card into the Polka Doodles challenge and what a great prize they have for the winner and top 5 so please wish me luck I think I am going to need it with this one lol
speak to you all soon
hugs
