Jailhousebabe - fabulous cards. Did you use your copics to colour your images??? The colours all work so well together, and your letters look fab - did you use a quick squeeze thingie??
Dawnteabag - fabulous baby card - you're friend will love it. Did you use the legless brads as wheels??

melissa, I'm sure every image I use now will be coloured with copics I've used gel pens as well to add a bit of sparkle, and a sakura pen on the dress to add little pearl-like details. I love that pen, it goes on pink, then dries silver with a pink outline.
The letters are the moxie alphabet that came with the pink squeeze.

No they're buttons - I don't have any legless brads - they're on my never-ending list of "wants" though

Great challenge card Debsy. I managed to leave some comments on your blog before I ran out of my daily allotted blog time (that's what it feels like anyway; the computer will let me on them but only briefly :mad:). Thanks for the daisy & dandelion decoupage

salesadmin - I promise I'll keep trying to get onto your blog to leave some comments!

Another card using the rainy day papers and the image is coloured with brush markers and pergamano pens. It looks like the wellie boot paper is upside down but it is just the topper making it look like it is, cos if you look at the bottom they are both ways

Hi Flourgirl I am really loving yr cards made with those rainy day papers. I know you have probably already said but who makes them/where did you get them from???

Thanks xxx

Jailhousebabe - well the colurs look fantastic. I'm sure I've got that alphabet - I've hardly used my squeeze, I must get it out and dust it off - how do you stick your letters down??
Dawnteabag - I still haven't used mine - I must try and get some crafting done tomorrow!!

There you go furry. They are freebies, lots of them, just scroll down until you find them.
Thank-you all for your kind remarks.

Furry the image is on foam pads then the spotty paper is mounted on glitter card, it doesn't really show glitter on the photo. The spots on the umberella are glazed and glittered as is a circle on the tag.

Ooh I might have to use some of those rainy days papers. They're really lovely and colourful.

Spent literally all afternoon on a little surpise project for a friends birthday but it has been a catalogue of disasters.

1) frame didn't fit right so am going to have to make one of my own and I am useless at cutting them out

2) paper punch decided to throw a wobbler right in the middle of a 12inch strip that I was cutting and I don't have a spare to match

3) sticky tape in dispenser ran out of tape.

I've finally quit when my double sided sticky tape ran out too.

There has been one little plus that I wanted to share with you though - these......


I was in the haberdasherers yesterday looking for some embellishments and they had something similar for 66p each but I wasn't happy with the sparkles in the middle of that one so decided to have a go myself. They take 1/4m of ribbon (9p) and one claw diamante (18p). I love them!
