Mama Elephant Super Duo

This card has been designed by myself using clear stamps from Mama Elephant, they were designed for Simon Says Stamp and I was so excited when they arrived J

I made this card for one of my minded children for his 6^th Birthday and he loves it.

The watermark was designed by a company called http://www.designbyparticular.com/ Take a look at Wayne’s work it is brilliant. Thank you for my lovely watermark.

The characters were coloured with Letraset Promarkers.

Star border die from Simon Says Stamp.

Mama Elephant Super Due stamp set then fussy cut out.

Its been a long time......

Well it’s been quite sometime since I last uploaded anything to my blog, I have been sooo busy but I have been able to make the odd card here and there. Here are some that I have made, I hope you like them xxx

The above Christening card was a custom make for my sisters friend. I was really pleased with the outcome. I used a Lili of the Valley rubber stamp and coloured it with Inktense water pencils. I used peel offs, Spellbinders border dies and a Martha Stewart border punch. 

 

This beautiful pink book card was made using a Lili of the Valley rubber stamp and Tonic Studio’s butterfly border punch. I coloured the image with Inktense water pencils.

The number 10 card was made for my oober special Nephew Danny for his 10^th birthday. I used dies and clear stamps from papertrey ink, the star dies are Memory Box. 

Another Lili of the Valley image, again coloured with Inktense pencils.

A thank you card for my little boys teacher using products from Papertrey Ink.

A birthday card for my star MAD sister Amy, using products from Papertrey Ink, Britania Dies and a few gem stones

 

Magnolia Tilda and Edwin stamps were used to make this card and coloured with Derwent Inktense water pencils. I smudged Edwins eyebrow which bugged the life out of me L

I made this beautiful card above as my daughter loves Merida from Disneys Brave and she looks just like her J. I coloured this with Promarkers.

A CAS card (clean and simple) using a Lili of the Valley stamp and the Happy Birthday is from Papertray Ink. I coloured the image using my Inktense pensils. They are my go to when I travel as I have far too many Promarkers to take with me!

I made this comical card for my husbands friend who was leaving his team in the Police to go and work with the accident investigation team. I thought this card was quite fitting. I used Xcut dies, images from google and also Penny Black Christmas stamp. I masked Mimi out of the window as I just needed the truck. I coloured the images with Promarkers and Derwent Inktense pencils. I used crackle and glossy accents on the windows of the vehicles to make them look kind of smashed.

A custom made wedding congratulations card for a Mrs & Mrs. My customer was very happy with the results. I used Xcut alphabet dies, Papertrey Ink dies, Memory Box butterfly border dies and a Memory Box background die.

Thank you for looking. I do take order requests. Please feel free to contact me xx

An unconventional wedding card......

What an unusual wedding card, but my friends loved it…..

I made this card for a couple of friends that got married in Las Vegas.

I made the base card from black spotty cardstock, I created this into a stepper card to create dimension.

I cut the background for the Las Vegas sign with an X-cut ornate frame die. I then used the memory box cloud die to create a template to create the clouds in the background. I used sky blue ink to do this.  I then painstakingly cut out the Vegas sign a few times to create a decoupage effect.

I coloured everything with Promarkers.

Gems were used to give lots of ‘bling’ and lots of feathers.

Lili of the Valley wedding day sentiment was used along with a few other embellishments.

I am entering this card into the Fur & Feathers challenge #187 - http://corrosivechallengesbyjanet.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/challenge-187-fur-and-feathers.html and http://ilovepromarkers.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/challenge-195-wedding-or-anniversary.html 

 

Hope you like it……
