Sympathy card

I recently was asked to make a sympathy card by my mother and here is what I came up with. I used a lovely image by elzybells and lightly coloured it with my pro-markers. The gorgeous dp was a scrap and I can't remember who makes it and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The sentiment is by PSX and the adhesive stones are PM. I was inspired to make this card by a stunning card I saw on the elzybells DT gallery but I can't remember who made it (pop along and have a look at them, they are all fab). Thanks for looking.

OCC challenge

I had to make a sympathy card so I used the OCC challenge (which this week was a sketch). I stamped the inkadinkado image with versafine onyx black ink. The lovely swirly dp is by doodlebug and the black cs is bazzill bling. The plain blue cs is from the papermill shop . I used adhesive stones by papermania and the sentiment is by PSX. I never like making these cards but I always try to make the best card I can to let the family know I am thinking of them dearly. Apologies for the 'lop-sided' photo (the card is straight IRL - honest!). Thanks for looking.

It's gone baby crazy!

All I seem to be making at the moment is baby cards, especially baby boy cards. I made this for a lady at work who has just had a baby boy (funnily enough). I stamped the hero arts onesie and coloured it with my pro-markers. The circle dp is from the glitter stack by DCWV and the gingham dp is by magenta. The plain cs is from the papermill shop. The buttons are by doodlebug and the sentiment is PSX. The adhesive gems are from QVC. Thanks for looking.

Deepest sympathy

I made this card for my mum to give to a neighbour who's husband recently passed away. I simply stamped the inkadinkado image with versafine onyx ink and added a few adhesive stones by papermania. The double sided dp is by chatterbox inc and used both sides for contrast. The ribbon is by american crafts and the sentiment stamp is by PSX. The card looks a little drab on the computer but it was much nicer IRL! Thanks for looking.

Cards we don't like to make!

These are cards that we don't like to make but unfortunately they are the ones that we seem to need the most. I was asked to make this card by a colleague at work. I stamped the inkadinkado image with versafine onyx black ink and did the same with the PSX sentiment. I cut them out and inked the edges for definition. The gorgeous dp by chatterbox inc. was double sided, so I used both sides so that they would match perfectly. I used the one side as the main backing on my card and then the other side I cut into three panels and mounted them at intervals on my backing paper. I again inked all the edges for definition with a cat's eye chalk ink pad. I added papermania adhesive stones to the edges of my stamped image panels and also to the centre of the cross. Thanks for looking.

Baby girl card

This will be my last card for a week or so, hope you like! I made a baby girl card using an image sent to me by Diane (again) and coloured it with my pro-markers. I used dp from the nanna's nursery stack by DCWV. The sentiment is a stamp by PSX and I punched flowers out of the dp and added papermania adhesive stones for extra bling. The welcome baby sentiment is by verve visual. The ribbon was from ribbon mad. Thanks for looking. I hope you won't forget about me and will come next week to see what's new!!
