.....and they lived happily ever after

I was asked to make an engagement card for a couple at work, wow was that difficult.
First of all it needed to be pink and girlie, these people have met me right!
Ok so I started with the big pink heart with the wings on, this is a Marianne die set that comes with both the heart and wings.

So I cut the heart in pink pearl card and the wings in white pearl card.

Next I cut a piece of pink pearl card slightly smaller than 7x7 and a piece of white pearl card slightly smaller than the pink. I used a heart design embossing folder on the white card to create my background and mounted both pieces onto my card blank.

Finally I stamped and embossed the words onto another piece of white pearl before mounting that onto a piece of pink pearl. After assembling my card I locked myself in a dark room to recover from all the pink and romance.

From owl of us

This is a birthday card for my Aunt who like me is quiet fond of the odd owl or two. This is another stamp from the Woodware's Perfectly Clear range.
I really like this stamp but as the Mother of twins it was missing a vital element, originally it was a Mummy, Daddy and one baby. So I stamped the image three times so I could decoupage the image.

I coloured in the images using Spectrum Noir pens using the following colours:
JG1, JG2, PL2, PL3,
TN1, TN2, TN3, TN4, TN5
CT3, LY3

The first layer was the three original owls, the next one I cut out the Mummy and baby, with the third image I only cut out the baby. I added the second baby to the image in front of the Daddy owl.

I used the Marianne die Anja Squares to cut the fancy shape around the image as well as the background square.

Finally I added the greeting from the same stamp set.

We owl wish

It was my Uncle's birthday a few days ago so I made him this sweet little owl card.

I've love owls for years and have loads of stamps but it seems I am also a little obsessed with the cute little stamps from Woodware (yes it's another one).
This stamp is really nice and really simple. I stamped him onto a piece of white card and coloured him in using Spectrum Noir pens.
The colours I used were:
TN1, TN2,TN3,TN4
JG1, JG2
EB3, EB4
LY3, CT3

I then used a Marianne die (Anja's Squares) to create the fancy square around the image and mounted it onto a lime green card background.

 

The greeting came from another owl stamp set (also from Woodware) and just gave the card that little extra something.

All cuddled up

This one of the Christmas Marianne stamps that I coloured using Promarkers. It's a cute little stamp and looks great layered on the silver card. The blue background is actually a piece of blue card embossed using an embossing folder, I then reversed the image and added a few clear gems.
