Molly Rules

I have to say when I got my new Visible Image stamps I was in heaven, I couldn't wait to use them all.

This Molly and she really does rule. I love the fact she is holding a headless teddy bear yet still manages to look super cute.
The main image is was stamped onto white card using memento ink and coloured using the following Spectrum Noir colours:

IG1, IG2, IG3, IG4, IG7, IG8
FS1, PL5, LV3, EB!, EB3, Black

I then used an X-Cut oval die to cut out the image and used a purple ink pad to distress the edges of the card.

Next I stamped the barbed wire and skull, from the Molly Rules set, onto a 6x6 white card to create a simple but effective background.

Here is another image from Wild Rose Studio, this cute little cat is ideal for lots of occasions such as Mother's Day, Congratulations, Sorry You're Leaving or Thank You. On this occasion I used it for a friends birthday card.

Firstly I took one of the uncoloured toppers from the cat topper set, I cut the image out using my scalloped tonic die. Then I coloured the image using the following Spectrum Noir colours:
IG1, IG2, IG3, IG4, CT2
JG1, JG2, PP1, PP2, PP3

I then cut a square of the beautiful pink spotty card from Anna Marie Designs, I rounded the corners using my Xcut corner rounder punch.I then stuck this the the bottom right hand corner of my card blank. I used foam pads to mount my image onto the spotty card.

Finally I added a smaller piece of the spotty card in the top right hand corner and put a small round birthday greeting on top of this.

First Day At School

 
This little sweetie is from Wild Rose Studio and I thought she was idea for a first day at school card. I stamped the image onto white card and then coloured the image using Spectrum Noir markers using the following colours:
LG1, LG2, LG3, LG4
TN7, FS1, FS2, IG1
EB3, PP2, HB1, HB2
CT1, TN2, TN3, TN4


I cut the image, the green background and the smaller circles using Xcut circle dies I cut the number and words using the Die'sire numbers set.

  I will be entering this into this months Spectrum Noir Challenge

Captain Underpants

It's almost here, that time of year we are all supposed to go slushy and declare undying love to that special someone. Bah who needs romance when you have these fantastic undies!

This was a really easy card to make, firstly I stamped the pants onto red card and added the words, then I cut out several little white hearts using an Xcut punch.

While this was drying I cut a piece of white card and stamped the Valentine's greeting, I used an Xcut die to create the red heart corners and mounted the whole lot onto a red square card.

These beautiful boxers are a great little set of stamps from Woodware, it consists of the pants and several witty words including the Captain Underpants I've used on the waist band.

Baby Bamboo

I love this cute 'Baby Bamboo' stamp from Crafters Companion. I stamped the image on to a scalloped oval, cut using an Xcut die, then coloured it using Spectrum Noir pens.
I layered this on to a small rectangular card with the corners rounded off.

 I used the Embossalicious Dot 6x6 embossing folder on a piece of Centura Pearl card to create the background.

Then using off cuts of the Centura Pearl card I cut out the clouds using a Memory Box die.

To finish the card off I added a stamped greeting and three graduated gems.

Bugs and Hisses

 This little cutie is one of many Halloween cards I shall be making this year.
The small square dies are from Xcut and the cobweb frame and background dies are from Memory Box.
The Bugs and Hisses stamp is a Stampendous stamp.
The little witch is a Sweet Pea stamp but unfortunetly I can not remember who she is by.
She was coloured with Spectrum Noir pens using the following colours:

TN3, TN4, TN5, TN6, PP1, EB3, BG7, GG3, FS2, FS3, CT1, GB6, PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4, PL5, OR1, OR2.

The image was finished off with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink.
