smile, enjoy, celebrate. bride to be

good morning crafters

welcome to my share for today:

a bride to be card

another recent make from the images i coloured a while ago.

my image has been coloured with distress ink and i've added a little frantage around the edges. usually when i colour i don't always think about what papers i have in my stash but thankfully spring garden from maja designs fitted in perfectly.

now we are into autumn i forgot how early the lighting changes in my craft room and i didn't want to change the brightness of the photos when i edited them so they are a little darker than i'd hope for.

i love the whole look of the distressed edges on all my layers including the sentiment. 

 some of the items used:

6"x6" white base card

distress re-inkers

fabriano watercolour paper

maja designs paper pad

white card

stamps:

stampingbella - image & sentiments

mulberry roses

velvet cord

frantage embossing enamel

where i buy some of my supplies from:

dies to die for, stampingbella, art from the heart, carroway cottage, the mad scrapper, sevenhills crafts, ken bromley, craftheaven-shop.

all it leaves me now to say is:

thanks for stopping by enjoy your day and

craft happy, Ann

happy birthday

good morning crafters.

popping in with another recent make, today i've used:

Charlotte loves to shop

from stampingbella. this is a first outing for this stamp like many other bella stamps i have in my stash due to the fact i have been moving from one craft to another and i must admit i feel a little rusty at the minute with my card making.. 

this cutie has been coloured up with my usual medium of distress ink and i have gone all out using various papers, dies, flowers and embellishments to complete..

i have three more images that are coloured up and are waiting for me to add to cards and then i'll be in a mad rush (maybe) to stamp, colour up and make some christmas cards.

no pressure lol..

some of the items used:

7x7" white base card

distress re-inkers

fabriano watercolour paper

maja paper pad

stamps:

stampingbella - image 

mft - sentiments

various dies

mulberry roses

pearl stamens

pink embellishments

all it leaves me now to say is:

thanks for stopping by enjoy your day and

craft happy, Ann

 

wishing you the best day ever.

popping in with today's share.

when stampingbella released these images i knew i would add them to my growing stash of bella's and they don't disappoint.

today i have used:

uptown girl loves to sing.

my image has been coloured with distress ink and her outfit has been finished with dots of glitter ink and white posca pen and on the edges i have added some frantage. 

i had planned a simple cas card but i couldn't quite figure out a layout so i scoured my paper stash and my card was created. i've used a couple of dies for the border, some mulberry flowers along with pearls and stamens and a dinky corner stamp from my stash to complete the layout.

there are things on this creation that could have been done different (and that's just me being super critical on myself) and next time i use this super image my creation could be super cas or highly elaborate.

some of the items used:

7x7" white base card

distress re-inkers

fabriano watercolour paper

lili of the valley, paper pad - discontinued

stamps:

stampingbella - image & sentiment

magnolia corner stamp

posca pen

sakura glitter pens

various dies

mulberry roses

pearl stamens

frantage
