You're a star


    This card was made with my grand daughter in mind as she has just started experimenting in dying her hair, purple being one of  her choice colours.
    I coloured this digi stamp from Oddball Art called Sugar the Zombie using Promarkers. After cutting it out using a Tattered Lace ornamental torn edge oval die I coloured the edge using a black Promarker pen and matted it onto white card cut using another ornamental torn edge die. The background layer is purple mirri with a star pattern on it. The sentiment is made using peel off letters which I coloured and I finished the card with five gem stones.

Little witch


   The theme for this fortnight's Crafty Cardmakers challenge is things that go bump in the night.
   I have made a card for a Halloween birthday.  
   The background paper was printed from a Halloween artwork pack downloaded from Crafting and matted and layered onto black then cream card. Before printing part of the background sheet again I typed on the sentiment. I cut this out and matted it onto black card. The central character called 'Little witch' is a digi stamp from Beccy's Place which I coloured using Promarkers and fussy cut.

Flying school


    The blue background paper, mice, grasses and ladder were printed using downloadable vignettes from various Carnation Crafts collections and I used their dies to cut out the pieces. The brickwork paper and the speed limit were from scraps I had left over from papers printed using La Pashe CD ROMS. The gravel paper is scrap from a very old paper pad and the flying school notice was hand written. The whole is matted and layered onto deep blue card and white.
