Brown and Pink

The challenge this week at Polka Doodles is ....

A colour Challenge and yes you guessed it

its Brown and Pink !!!

Oohhhh I used ...............

the new Fredricka Collection for both the image, paper and sentiment!!

I used Spellbinder dies for the oval and border,

(I cut up a square die cut to make the border !)

Marianne Dies for the leaves, gems and some distressed inks.

Soo........... I got carried away again just loving this new release and made another card !
This time I used a pre-coloured image, again the sentiment is from the CD.

This time I used Distress Inks, Spellbinder (Card and sentiment)
 and Marianne Dies (Flowers and leaves)
Pearl gems and glittered up the flowers with Stickles!

Ok I got really really carried away and made a third card !!
I used all the same products for this card as the ones above !

Happy Mothers Day

Well I loved the style of card of my last card

 so much I used it to make a card for my Grandma.
Like Christmas I just couldn't not make one for her !
It did mean I didn't get my Christmas card club card done tho ...........
I'm very sorry ladies but I'm sure you will understand.
Plus I'm cooking dinner for our very own Dutchess so I hope I'm excused !!
Hopefully the snow will stay away and the sun will come
out from behind the clouds so I can go and plant
Hyacinths for Grandma by the river where we scattered her ashes.

The card is made totally from Marianne Die LR0111, and LR0156 for the leaves

some gems and glitter glue and of course a sentiment !!

Here is the one I made for my Aunt !
It made me cry making it but its so beautiful I know
despite the tears she will love it !
I used the new Marianne fan die ........ oh so beautiful !
The flowers are from Marianne LR0111 I'm just loving those !
And the photos are of my Grandma !

I hope she likes it !! 

My Aunt is so special, I love her very much.

Lol she will get me now !!! 

Happy Mothers Day Auntie M ! Thank you for all you do.

Distressing ....

Hello !!! The Challenge this week at Polka Doodles is ...

DISTRESSING !!!

For my card I used Distressing Inks by Tim Holtz.

Now I have never used them before !! I know ......

But wow they are gorgeous to use ! 

I made my card using the image from Candy Doodles Cd. 

The card itself is made from Marianne Die LR0111 

I rubbed ink over the embossing while still in the die, and around the edges 

of the flowers from the same die set. 

The leaves are from Marianne Die LR0156

I added some gems and glittered the flowers using Stickles glitter glue.

 I haven't added a sentiment yet as I'm not sure who is getting this card !!

Are there any at the bottom of your garden ?

Well ............ apparently there are at the the bottom of my Grandmas!

My daughter and her cousin went searching for them in the plants about 8 years ago !

They took a torch and looked in amongst the leaves !!!

What did they find .... Fairies apparently !!

This week at Polka Doodles the theme is Faires/Fantasy

I used the Sugar Plum Daisy Cd for my cards ....

yes I made two again ! 

Well I printed two sheets off to decoupage the image

so I didn't want to waste any !

For this card I tried to create a looking into the garden effect by using my dies

to make apertures and layering them up.

The paper and sentiment is from the CD too 

and I used Marianne die Open Flowers for the leaves !

I made the flowers and added Dewdrops to the center !

For this card I used my dies to make the card;

the left overs from my previous card and another papers from the CD.

Again the sentiment if from the CD, the Swirl and Leaves are 

both Marianne dies. 

To both cards I glittered up the flowers and images to add some pizzaz !

Hope you like them !!

Happy Crafting !!

Valentines

 Its Valentines day very soon ......

So the Challenge this week at Polka Doodles is...

You guessed it !!

Valentines Day !!

I got carried away and made two cards !!! 

I used the LOVE AND CHERISH CD....

Oh boy its gorgeous, hence the two cards !

I was so spoilt for choice ! 

It was purely time available that stopped me from making more !!

The first card I made was a very clean and simple one.

I used a paper from the Boundless Love section,

some ribbon and a Diamante Buckle, 

a sentiment and voila !

The second card I made I used papers from

The Two of us and Cherish sections of the Cd.

Image and paper ribbon from The two of us Section.

I also used Marianne dies for the hearts and leaves.

Added a few flowers, some Stickles glitter glue 

and again voila !

Hope you like them both!
