Hi all,
I set myself a little challenge this weekend – to make a card in 20 minutes! So where did I start? Well, the new Docrafts Country Companions die-cut toppers called ‘Special Wishes’ and co-ordinating ‘Sunshine Meadows’ papers came to my rescue!

I added some of our gorgeous, new, pale yellow double satin ribbon and a couple of Prima flowers from the Meadowlark collection, held together with an 8mm pearl brad…and voila! I hope you like it!

Tinkerbell Little Lady Bug

Hello everyone.  It's Annette here again with another Stamp Basket creation.

I'm really loving these new Saturated Canary Rubber Stamps and this is the second time I've used this sweetie.  Last time she was in red, but this time I've coloured her in green, like Tinkerbell the fairy from Peter Pan.

I've reverted back to the safety of my Copics again for this one, so that I could cope better with her hair (I just can't seem to get hair right with the DI, and this girl needs to have good hair)

Cherry Blossom

Hello everyone.

It's Annette with you today to share a card I've made.  I really adore this new Saturated Canary stamp called Cherry Blossom.

Last time I coloured her in purple, and this time I've used yellow and green.  Green isn't a colour which I'm usually keen on, but I love these yellow and green papers so I've coloured her to match them.

I've stitched all the panels onto kraft coloured shimmer card and chalked some clouds behind the image.

Amy

Hiya everyone.  It's Annette here today using Whimsy's Amy from The Stamp Basket.  I've opted for a beautiful purple colour scheme for this card, and really tried harder with my colouring of the image.  I've coloured her first with copics, and then done some highlighting and shading with my pencils.  I worked for ages on her hair with both the copics and pencils, and it went from looking worse than my usual attempts can manage, to being what I now consider to be adequate.  I think I need to revisit the hair colouring department!! LOL.

I added some tufts of grass at her feet using a flicking motion with really sharp pencils in a few different shades of green.

I've also included two lovely dies, both coloured in some way; the picket fence was cut in white card, and then coloured with copics and pencils, and the honeyblossom sprig was cut in purple card and I used a dark purple copic to give the flower centres some depth before adding a huge pearl centre.

I've stitched around the image and DP panels, added a beautiful bow in the gorgeous sparkly sheer white ribbon, a few pearls and some flowers, and voilà!

Mountain Lily


Hi all,

I have a card to show you today that I made quite a while ago using the gorgeous Whimsy ‘Mountain Lily’ stamp.


The gorgeous papers are My Mind’s Eye ‘Lavender’…I just can’t get enough of this pad…so soft and feminine!

I’ve used two sentiments on this card: Whimsy ‘Ticket Notes’ and Wild Rose Studio ‘Circle Greetings’. The Memory Box ‘Frostyville Wreath’ has been cut from Bazzill ‘Fawn’ which co-ordinates really well with the pinks in these papers.


Here’s a close up of the image coloured with copics:

Little Lady Bug

It's Annette back here today using another Saturated Canary rubber stamp from The Stamp Basket today.  This one is called Little Lady Bug.  It's turned out as a monochrome red card, but she just seemed to need some red and I think I got carried away!  I've also glittered her to the max with glossy accentscrystal glamour dust and a touch of Stickles just to top it off!

Spring Honey Blossom

Hi, it's Annette here today with an Elizabeth Bell card in some lovely spring fresh colours.  I tried so hard to colour her hair, doing lots of flick movements with my copics, but I still don't think that it looks that good.  More practice needed, I think!

I coloured my pearls, and the pearl brad with my copics to match the pink theme, and maintained my new year's resolution to include stitching on my card.

I've also used my honeyblossom sprig die again, this time I've coloured it with my chalks rather than leave it plain pink.

Tilly with Rose

It's Annette here today with a Springtime card to cheer me up while the days are still short and dark.  This one features Tilly the dog with a HUGE rose.  I've kept it kind of simple, but used an oversize sentiment which I think matches the huge image too.

Hope you like my spring fresh card.
