Thank You Card

Two Cards

I've been a busy bee again.
Two new cards :)

Here is the first one, Tilda, and as you can see, I am really loving my new Nellie Snellen dies :D
Though I really need to see if I can do anything with my camera settings to make the pictures not so blurry.

I would like to enter this card in to the following challenges:

• I Love ProMarkers: Follow the sketch and no more than 3 colours {My three colours were Rose Pink, Cinnamon and Cool Grey 1, and of course I followed the sketch}

• Alota Rubber Stamps: Distressing {see above}
• Alphabet Challenge: Ovals {I used my Oval Nellie Snellen Frame Dies}
• Creative Inspiration: Anything Goes
• Sweet Stampin: Pretty In Pink
  

And finally, an Edwin card, though I am not 100% sure about this one, it feels like something is missing from it?
Ah well, can't get 'em all to be how we wanted them to be I suppose lol

I would like to enter this card in to the following challenges:

• Cards for Men: Go on an Adventure {Edwin has his cases packed and is off on a little adventure!}
• Magnolia Stamp Lovers: Use Edwin

Tilda Card, Bracelet & Altered Jar

I am very proud of myself today, not only have I completed a new card, I have also made a 'tester' bracelet and an altered jar.

First up is a Tilda card that I made for my friend in the US' birthday.
I coloured her in a couple of days ago with me new ProMarkers.
I had to order some new ones as I didn't have any 'pastel' coloured ones, and as they were under £5 a pack, I figured why not!

I would like to enter this card in to the following challenges:

• One Stitch At A Time: Follow the sketch or use Pink {I used Pink}
• The Crafty Pad: Ribbons & Flowers {Ribbon in her hair & Mulberry paper flowers}
• Crafty Angels: Something Old, Something New {Old = All the papers used on this were old. New = Flowers, Pin, Pearls and the die to cut the ovals}
• Ooh-La-La Creations: Birthday {Though it doesn't say on the front, but this card is intended for my friend's birthday.}
• Creative Card Crew: Cute & Girlie {my card is umm cute & girlie lol}
• Dutch Dare: Anything Goes
• One Stop Craft: Patterns {Papers are patterned}
  

Recipe:

• Tilda pre-stamped image {from eBay}
• ProMarkers
• Stickles
• Anita's Glossy Accents
• Pin
• Self Adhesive Flat Pearls
• Mulberry Paper Flowers
• Leaf
• Laura Ashley Paper {deep purple}
• Papermania Papers {pink & lighter purple}
• 3D Foam pads to lift Tilda off the card
  

Next up is a little bracelet that I quikcly put together, more of a tester, to see whether I would enjoy making more before I bought all the tools and lots of beads.
And I found some wire and basic beads in my stash, so I gave it a go, and I did enjoy it, so I will be investing in some better beads and tools etc. soon!

Recipe:

• Wire
• Beads

And lastly is an old pasta sauce jar that I altered to put my new mulberry paper flowers in.
As the lid was green all over I decided to keep the green theme.
I didn't have any green ribbon though, so I recycled an old piece of green ribbon I had laying around.

As you can see, the paper didn't go all the way around, but you can see all those yummy flowers and delishious colours!

Recipe:

• Empty glass pasta sauce jar
• Papermania paper
• Ribbon
• Prima Flower
• Lovely mulberry paper flowers to fill jar

I almost forgot....
I got new toys a few days ago, a sealing wax gun, wax, and a 'J' sealing coin, and I totally *heart* it!
I can easily see how addictive this might become!
